i’m so unbelievably frustrated. my diapers leak on my clothes daily, multiple times a day, despite me doing everything i and the multiple experienced diaper wearers advising me could think of
i usually buy printed diapers from brands like ABUniverse, kiddo, tykables which all have capacities listed at about 6000 ml mostly have also tried ones with even greater capacity like one that claims 9000 ml. i have also tried northshore’s megamax
obviously these numbers are not realistic, but i say them because it isn’t as if i am buying cheap garbage. however, i have measured by weighing them after use over the course of multiple months and my diapers always hold around 1.5 liters (sometimes over or under by a bit. a couple times i have gotten one up to like 2 liters)
i genuinely don’t know if i am simply expecting too much out of them and am bad at judging when i need a change, or if something is going wrong.
list of things i have tried:
\- taping in a variety of different ways. looser, tighter, angled various directions
\- different sizes (my waist is 28” and the i buy size s or m diapers, usually of a waist size about 28”-40” but i have tried ones that go down to 24”-36” or something like that)
\- standing the leak guards up, checking that they sit flush against my skin
\- boosters (the diapers just leak at the same volume they would anyway but without saturating the entire diaper itself)
\- fluffing my diaper
please please someone say they can help me i’m genuinely at my wits end. i don’t know what i’m supposed to do. i can’t just piss on and wash my pants constantly for the rest of my life!!! it happens so much i don’t even wash them unless it’s a very large leak, i just hang dry them and rewear because what else can i do???
