So I ended up getting the Threaded armor absorbent briefs, and I really like them a lot! I have noticed that they tend to leak more than I had hoped, especially when laying on my tummy or sitting down, but mostly laying on my tummy. I think they also don't "leak" in the same way as disposables. Like, I think what is happening is moisture is wicking into the hem running along the gusset and from there is wicking along the inside/non-water proof side of the top leak-guard/gusset, and from there wicks into the waist band and the seam between the outside front and side panel. Its a slow process, and most recently I think I laid on my front for like half an hour minimum before I got a little wetness on my pants/bed. I had only peed in them once, but I also was only using the pocket insert without anything in the pocket, and also peed while laying on my front which admittedly is like the hardest position for a diaper to keep you dry in. Having more moisture in the diaper (ie, when you pee more) seems to reduce the time it takes for any of these slow wicking leaks to occur, and also makes them larger. Like, with the single pee leak, only a little wet patch formed, but in the past when I had peed multiple times the leak occurred sooner and was also larger.
I also have had them leak around the leg openings while sitting down in them. I think in that situation the mechanism is closer to a disposable leaking, where pressure just forces some of the moisture out, but it could still be wicking slowly along the soft hem of the leak guard/leg gusset.
Overall, I love them a lot! I feel like I am far more free to put them on and wet them than I would with disposables, since a disposable is, well, disposable, and if I am gonna pee in something that costs $2-$4 a pop, I want to make sure I get my money's worth, which means not only do I need to ensure I have enough time to fully use and enjoy it, but also that I really am in the mood for it and will remain so. With the threaded armors, if I am just kinda sorta feel like putting on a diaper and peeing myself, I am able to do so with no reservations about not having the time or the full drive to do so, and it means i get to enjoy them more often and more easily.
As for the leaking/wicking issues, has anybody else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to help with that? I have found that laying on my back makes them much less likely to leak, but thats not my natural sleeping/idle position so is of limited use. I did buy 2 of their insert sets (each with 1 pocket insert and 1 of the curved inserts that slide into it) so I basically have the original shell plus 3 sets of inserts. I tried doing 1 pocket insert with 2 of the booster inserts, and while the bulk felt really nice especially while I peed in them, I'm pretty sure they actually leaked out the top faster while on my tummy. Im guessing this is because there was less space around the gussets, so moisture was able to wick into them more easily.
Unless anyone else has other ideas, I think my best bet would be to get a pair of plastic pants. (I actually already wanted to do this for disposables as well, because then I feel like I can push them to their limits without having to worry about leaking a little at the end)
To that end, my long winded point is I am looking for advice on what kind of plastic pants I should get. I've listed what my priorities are below in rough order of importance. #1 is the most important by a significant margin.
1) Is REALLY good at stopping leaks. Like, even if my diaper leaks, I dont want pee coming out of this thing. I don't want it to slowly seep out or wick through cuffs or anything like that. Like just really solid leak prevention. Including out of the top front while laying down.
2) Comfy. Wont itch or scratch, and doesnt need to cut off blood to my legs to work. (tight is OK, just not painfully tight) Basically I dont want it to be unpleasant to wear.
3) Quiet. I dont want to sound like Im wearing a plastic bag with every step if at all possible. Like at the very least I would prefer its not louder than a (plastic backed) diaper, but would be cool if it could even muffle diaper sounds a little. This one I am flexible on though.
4) Reasonably priced. Again, this is flexible. If its a really good product and will last a long time Im willing to spend some money on it.
5) Available in colors like a royal blue or clear or something. Basically I dont want babyish designs. Either plain and simple or something that gives off "big kid who still wets the bed or has daytime accidents" kind of vibes. Not a huge issue, more of a preference.
>TLDR: What brand/kind of plastic pants should I get based on the above list? I plan on using it with both threaded armors and regular disposables.
