Ok, having accidentally lost my plastic pants sometime recently, I went online to www.mumshappynappies.com.au for a new pair of eenies waterproof pants. While making my order, I decided to make the postage worthwhile and get a pack of the most absorbent night time nappies they had.
A quick browse of their adult nappies (under "QLD Healthcare products") led me to Prevail Adult Briefs. I only needed the Large size for myself, but I noticed the XL's carried a higher Absorbency - 1900 ML .. 1.9 L ! I ordered a pack, and by the way, the price hasn't been updated.. I got a 12 pack for just over $16 AUD.
When they arrived in the mail, the second day after I placed the order online, I tore open the black wrapping to look at the contents. I could see the nappies through the packaging and it was clear they were bulky.. very bulky.. and large.. and blue. They reminded me of the first nappies I ever tried.. some huge green ones for a local special school that friend's had for their baby.
When I pulled one out of the packaging and unfolded it I was amazed.. it revealed one more full fold than I expected. Nice.. this thing was long. It's plastic coated like the maroon Depends you get in chemists, which means it hugs the legs and holds pee really well. The instructions on the pack were gibberish as usual, but I noted they referred to "the patient" in the third person. Good, I thought to myself, these are going to be interesting. Unlike most nappies, they have a much larger section at the front than the back. This nappy is designed to sit well up on the stomach of a sleeping man with a well-proportioned penis (like myself).
The tapes (only two) are good, and refastenable, but the fit of the plastic sides is a bit odd. It is definately better for sleeping in, as it's a bit awkward to walk in, more so than probably any nappy I've tried.
It's well worth it though as the large front pads which come right up over yours stomach; while laying in bed, and even with an erection, you can pretty much let rip the most strongest of gushes and empty your bladder without fear of drenching your bed.
I've been wearing them for at least four or five hours now, while sitting and playing Dreamcast (Test Drive 6), and standing (to have bucket bongs), and also getting more drinks hehe. I've had at least five or six Smirnoff Double blacks, which are two std drinks each, and everything has gone in the nappy. Not one leakage even during the most extreme bursts *wink*.
After a quick check down my pants, I'm amazingly soaked.. it's not being absorbed at all anymore, but it's still being kept well in check. These side plastic panels are so good I probably almost don't need the plastic pants, but since I do, I feel confident going to bed with them on.
*grin* let's see how they handle another 7 hours of punishing treatment in bed before I wake up in the morning and take my morning erm.. *cough* dump.
