Maybe it's just a personal thing. I never use plastic panties with disposables. They just make me sweat more.
The diapers I wear on a daily basis are pretty thick... so it takes a lot to make them leak.

Hmmm I had wondered about that, Puddleguy. Perhaps I should use them only when out in public and not when alone in my own home, to give my skin a break. Guess I'll watch out for any skin irritation or anything like that when I use them. 
I did see online some pairs of single and double thickness terry cloth underwear - they are not the thickness of a diaper, maybe they are intended for light incontinence or can be used with inserts too, I think. I wondered if another option might be wearing those over a diaper - I realise they aren't waterproof but they'd absorb more of a leak than normal underwear would.
Glad you have found a brand that doesn't leak. I'm gradually getting more of an idea too of which brands work best for me and which don't.

Good to hear Bernadette.. Having the right protection that works well really does make a difference on not only your ability to phyically manage.. but mentally as well.. case in point.. when i first started recieving diapers free via medicaid, i chose wings supreme because they were closest thing that J &B medical had to attends with wasitband, which at the time seemed like the ideal diaper. Absorbency was not bad, but the tapes were something else. they were HORRIBLE. I often used packing tape. I often waseted whole bags trying to get one bloody brief on.. finally, when i decided to switch to a different diaper.. one that i could actually use without wasting a whole bunch..my whole outlook changed. Instead of struggling and going ARRGH with the diaper change.. i do it calm and collect. So, having the right protection really can affect you mental state too, as well as you phyiscially managing the problem IE leaks and what not. Now, as i said wings suprere were not a bad diaper for absorbency, in fact may have been more absorbent than what i use now..not 100% sure on that..i do know padding area was more substantial.. however.. id much rather use diapers that i dont have to fight to get on every single time i need a fresh one.
