I picked up some.

I always liked the third tape, much snugger fit around the hips.

I mostly agree, a few had just too cheap tapes though.

I just wonder how long it will be before one of these manufacturers start adding the third set of lower tapes. Now that is a great fit, which I've tested by adding my own extra tape. They end up being really snug, have almost no diaper sag when soaked, and no premature leaks.

A long time ago, when adult diapers had little absorbency, there were diapers with three sets of tapes. Then they started eliminating the middle tapes.

@sjaeger172004 First and most importantly, you are NOT a freak! You are dealing with a messed up lot in life the best you can. Stay in touch with your psychiatrist and other support, and keep after the doctors to get a solution.

I need to check in here more often

I've had discussions with my primary care doctor about Metformin....  I used to run on the more constipated side.  That hasn't been an issue since starting metformin.  I do have to more closely watch my timing on that medication.  Normally not a real issue, but it does make me looser.....  I'm unwilling to go to a higher does than I'm now utilizing of that medication.....

After an attempt at cutting my Metformin dose, my blood sugar went up quite a bit. So I went back to a higher dosage. Unfortunately that has led to an increase in frequency of my accidents. Sigh.

If it's appropriate for you to write and read a eulogy, then it's certainly appropriate for you to write and have someone else read it for you.

It's been a long time since I have bought diapers at a medical supply store, but I don't remember anyone trying to get me to buy something else, beyond a possible "Have you tried?" Definitely nothing insistent. Most were helpful in choosing the right diaper, if they had a selection.

My sole experience is having a friend's car jump into my lap. The diaper helped with that. 🐱

A little late, I just joined. 

I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year.

I normally don't do intros on forums, but this might be the first serious forum I've joined.

I've been an AB pretty much my entire life, although I didn't really recognize it until I was a teen. So I am not a newcomer to wearing diapers. That's a good thing.

In October I started up a new set of meds, all of which have diarrhea as a side effect. I have a consult with a telenurse every three weeks. The first one went fine, I had had no problems from my meds. The next weekend, I had a weak end. I was standing talking to friend at a gaming convention, when I had a very uncomfortable and uncontrollable wet fart. It was a good thing I was wearing a diaper.

Over the next month I had several more accidents, about every week. These ranged from small leaks to fairly large messes. Again I'm glad I'm an AB. This culminated at Thanksgiving dinner, where I again had a wet messy fart. No warning to these. Yay for diapers!

I've told the telenurse about this and we've been adjusting both the amount and formulation of my meds.

So in the past couple of months I've had a dozen or accidents, ranging from a small leakage to a complete uncontrollable emptying of my bowels.

Has any one else had this reaction to the meds they take?
