I usually use a high quality diaper (Abriform, Northshore, Confidry) during the day. I found several packages of less absorbent tabbed diapers at the Goodwill and decided to try them knowing very well that they would be less absorbent and I would need to change more. For several days, I brought extra generic diapers with me and would change every 3-4 hours or after 1-2 wettings. Just depends on how wet the diaper feels and when I can change again. Adjusting my routine to accomodate less absorbent diapers is not the problem. The problem rises when you are unexpectedly stuck in a situation when you cannot change. My commute to work is usually 1 hour and I usually change before I leave for work. This week there was a car accident that blocked traffic for 2 hours. The diaper was already damp before I left and I had to use it during the traffic jam. I was worried the entire time thereafter about the diaper leaking. Fortunately, it was ok. I haven't had this much anxiety about my protection in years. I won't be straying from my trusted diapers again. That safety margin for leaks is priceless.
well said!
I plan my daily protection with the goal to change at lunch every day but I still use products that have proven to work for me for up to 16hrs why? because my planned 8 or 10hr day can turn into nearly 16 to 20+hours on a moments notice often when this happens the ability to sneak away to change goes out with the daily plan! while usually, I can find a moment to change later having the peace of mind that IF I need to delay the protection I use CAN allow me to postpone my changes. I also use a single layer flannel brief and a PUL pant over my disposable for the rare but occasional leak that can happen when you extend a brief change.
