By the time we have saturated our diapers to near their maximum useable capacity, it does not matter much whether they began as thick or thin. If the maximum absorbent capacity is the same, the bulge will be about the same. Frankly, I prefer a thicker diaper with more fluff pulp mixed in with the SAP to permit some wicking. However, that is disappearing from the marketplace as the general public prefers a thin diaper. There is an economic incentive for manufacturers to make thinner diapers as more can be shipped in the same container for reduced transportation costs. --John

I like the Seni Quatro, about the same price as the Megamax from XP medical. With booster pad I can go 12 hours and rarely leak, though I do wear a waterproof pant over them for added safety.

Water. It's the most important thing you can drink to help with incontinence. Seems counter intuitive, but it can't be overstated. Dehydrating yourself so you won't have to go as often does more damage to your body overall. AND it makes your pee smell much worse while also causing more rashes. Just don't do it. Cranberry juice (not the juice mix) is also really good for maintaining urinary health. It's even been shown to cure minor UTIs. As for bowel incontinence (and IBS), that's probably going to vary from person to person. Though generally, vegetables are usually quite helpful in reducing symptoms and making you more regular.

That's like mines as well. I have a PCP who cares and has interest in Incontinence management. It's why for mines, when I got see them for my checkups, as part of my checkup, he checks my diapers to make sure I am using them and not developing any diaper rashes. It's also the same for my dermatologist as well, she checks my skin around my diaper area to make sure I am using them. It's also why my doctors and nurses that take care me all have great interest in what I use to manage my incontinence. I even show them the diapers I wear on a daily basis. It's why they know I prefer diapers over pull ups and they know I wouldn't last a day in a pull up. On top of that it's good to show the medical staff that their is nothing wrong with being in diapers and using diapers to manage your incontinence. Plus being an EMT and having to do calls to Nursing homes and assisted living facilities, I even get to educated those folks on better diapers such as Northshore's and even showed their website on my phone. Which often results the Nurses ordering them for their clients and has done wonders for them. The stuff they use for their clients in the Nursing homes and assisted living facilities would make me cringe.
