I wish I had an easy answer or tip for you, Sadly this is something we all must do individually because we are so different in function and form. I have faith you will find a solution so don't give up!

Have you tried using a cotton pad type booster? The acquisition rate is generally far superior to regular booster pads or even the diaper itself, after a wetting the pad will then wick much of the moisture into the diaper. You can use almost anything that's 100% cotton, like a washcloth or a very small hand towel and then just rinse it out in the sink in the morning. I use the "Flour Sack Towels" from Walmart (10 for $10) and just fold them into a 12 layer pad. Once I started using the cotton pads I've had zero nighttime leaks, and I'm a side sleeper.
All that said, I believe your real problem is that you are not getting a really good fit at the leg gathers. As you know the MegaMax is one of the highest capacity diapers on the market so it's hard to believe that capacity is the real problem. To combat the "fit" issue after you have gotten taped up use your finger to check that the elastic leg gathers are directly against your skin as far as you can reach front and back. Hope this helps!

I can’t seem to get a good fit on ANYTHING except usually the crinklz. I have some samples of the new xp diaper coming today. Maybe that will be the magic one. I’m so tired of this

All of this makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.

I ordered 3 new pul pants from northshore in one size up from what I’m wearing now. For now I’ll be wearing crinklz with a booster. I hate the design but damn nothing else gets a consistent fit. I leak every once in awhile through them. It’s all so so so so so frustrating.

The frustration you are feeling is palpable. Feel free to vent away; this is the place to do just that when incontinence gets you down. Do you have the possibility of experimenting with cloth diapers? I understand that your disability would make them a last choice; however, if you have even limited assistance from caregivers, you might find them more leak proof. Good luck and keep us informed.

TheBettdry is the white version of the Crinkles so if you like the crinkles but hate the design the BetterDry should do you well.. have you tried those?

Patrick - cloth is just too expensive. I cannot spend the initial amount even though it will save in the long run. And I don’t have my own washer and dryer so that’s an added expense/chore. I’m interested in the all in one but can’t find one I like.
Also I live in a studio apartment and there isnt a place to store used cloth diapers
