Adult Brief Support?

[Wet-Again]

Hi! I am hoping someone on this forum has a solution to a source of annoyance for me.

How do you prevent your adult brief from falling down? Especially once it has a bit of weight in it?

I feel like I need some Adult Brief suspenders? I've tried snug cotton briefs. These worked okay until my briefs leaked. I am wearing a 'onesy' style underwear which is okay, but it reduces access to go to the bathroom.

Hello Wet again,

So if you wear a product until it hangs in the back of your knee, then you have probably done something wrong in several ways. On the one hand, you should choose a product so that it works reliably for 3-4 hours. After that, you should change it.

If there is regularly one liter or more in it after the time, then something is wrong with your water balance, and the internist should then urgently check what is going on.

If you are in the wet product for longer than 3-4 hours, you risk not only skin irritation, but also the risk of infection grows - as already mentioned in your other article. Especially if you have a UTI, you should rather change more often, because you don't want to continue to grow the bacteria that are excreted in the aid...

Hi! Thank you for your response.

One of the issues I am dealing with relates to my waist being larger than my hips. Once there is any amount of urine in the brief, it starts to slide down. I try to adjust the fit so it is tighter, but that only lasts for so long.

I was under the impression the briefs were designed to be worn up to 8 hours. Also, at night, I normally use a booster pad. In the morning, it can be quite heavy. I did purchase plastic pants to go over the brief for leaking, and to support it.

I wear a stretch briefs, plastic pants and a onesie can be a lot of help too keeps everything in place. Shaving can be of a great benefit as the legs gathers can fit snugly against the crotch to reduce leeks.

Hope this helps

I typically wear boxer briefs over the top of my protection and then a Gary wear active brief diaper cover over that. This usually keeps things in place and if you need more support, a onesie should do it.

I always wear either GaryWear Active Briefs over my diaper or a onesie, or both.

When the briefs get wet and you're dealing with heavy bladder leaks (HBL), it's best to avoid ones with stretchable side panels. Multi-void products designed to be worn 8 hours or more for people with HBL typically will not have stretchable side panels for this reason (on tape briefs). If you find stretch panels, it's a clue that the product may only work for extended time for people with light bladder leaks (LBL) even if they say Overnight or Maximum on them.

I can definitely relate to this. When I first started wearing adult diapers, I struggled a lot with keeping them in place and feeling confident in them. Early on, I tried wearing regular underwear and compression shorts over my diaper because I was worried about people noticing. Unfortunately, that actually caused more problems than it solved. The extra layers would press and pull the diaper in ways it wasn’t designed for, which led to more leaks. In trying to cover up the fact that I was wearing a diaper, I was actually increasing the chances of the very accidents I was trying to avoid.

Over time I realized that trusting the product and letting it fit the way it was designed made a big difference. Once I stopped layering tight clothing over it, I had far fewer issues with leaks and the diaper was able to do its job much better.

I also second what NorthShore mentioned about finding the right product for your body and needs. There are so many different body types and levels of incontinence, and what works well for one person may not work as well for someone else. The stretchy, elastic-style waistbands and sides can definitely be comfortable, but they can have their flaws when it comes to protection for heavier incontinence. Finding the right fit and level of absorbency really makes all the difference.

It can take some trial and error, but once you find what works for you and learn to trust it, things get a lot easier.
