Between sizes

[Slomo]

Who else has found themselves to be in between sizes due to a change in your weight? And did you ever find a way to better adjust their fit, or did you have to find a different brand?

I've used Large Betterdry/Crinklz for years now, but lost enough weight that I can't get as good of a fit any more. The tapes don't overlap at all, but they do extend just past the elastic at the legs. And that has led to leaks at least 1 or 2 times a week.

Of course I've tried their Mediums too. While I am well within the recommended sizing, I find they do not extend up past my hips/belt line (leading to leaks over the top while laying down). And even when tapped loosely, the cut of the legs make ot fit tight enough to start cutting into my skin.

Out of luck, I did just attend a convention where I had the chance to test out multiple other diaper brands. Most of the ones which use a tape landing zone still don't work for me (@Northshore, please make a Megamax version with 6 tapes). But 1 cloth like disposable from Potty Teaining Dropouts just might work. More testing is required though.

FirstQuality (Prevail) tried to normalize a seize "regular" between medium and large but it didn't catch on and was quietly retired. Fit, is the biggest reason I shop around for options as some brands just don't fit my body.

I've noticed the shape/cut of the legs contributed the most towards fit. A "regular" in-between size would, in theory, open up a product line for many more people. I wonder why it didn't catch on.

I do have that kind of problem all the time, most annoying: I am inside the measurements of size "M" at most manufacturers, for example Attends, but size "M" will not fit at all, like i can not even get the tapes placed. In size "L" they overlap that much, it is ridiculous. The only one with different sizing at Attends is the Flex in "L", which is smaller and fits me well enough.

My best fit was XP5000 in L, but i can not get them any longer, InControl "L" will fit O.K.,  but the lower tapes barely meet the first placement, while the upper tapes are in the last position.

My hips are about 107cm.

Just now i did order "Dailee Maxi Super" in size M, again, i should be easy in the size range, but i can barely make them fit, it works somehow, they are very low on the waist, but for that reason very discrete as well and good enough for "just in case".

I am still looking for the best fit, i will order NRU STR8UP White next for a try, i already ordered "DryLife Slip Maxi L" and they fit exactly like "InControl BeDry".

I've recently tested the new Megamax USA V2 in medium. They have an ok rise to them. Still a slight bit too short for my preference, but there still the best I've come across.

Skip all of the Chinese diapers (hard tape landing zone, the same no-lower-tapes design, and the blue tips on each of the tapes). Every one of them is just a clone of the next one but with a different print. If you've twsted one brand, you've tested them all.
