If depends changed the pull ons to boxers or gave a better solution to leaks by the leg gatherers I would definately try them. What do you think?

Dec 19 2011 06:29 PM This can be likened to a box of chocolates as Mr. Gump observed. "You never know what your gonna get" There have been several boxes of this kind here and the only good that becomes of them is our Moderation staff doing its best to pass on the suggestions for which I'm greatful. Before anybody else sends chocolates it is long overdue for the folks who have the ideas passed to them to make a acknowledgement of recieving them at the very least. Again, Our Moderation Staff as always have been doing their part but for "Inquiring Minds" we want to know what if anything has become of the endless pleas and requests in the hands of the folks they have been entrusted to by our Moderation Staff. If ever there were proverbial "monkeys in the middle" the Moderation Staff surely are in this scenario. |

Dec 20 2011 07:03 AM Actually, Abena has a pull-on that's kind of like a boxer-brief in that it has coverage a little further down the thighs. But you could never really have a boxer-style pull-on, since having the padding cup in the crotch is so important to the functionality. A true boxer-style just wouldn't work. The samples of the Abena boxer-brief worked okay, but just okay. The legs were too tight, and, as I recall, they didn't have standing leak guards. I think their regular briefs are better, and almost as good as the Medline Protection Plus. -RMS |

Dec 20 2011 08:39 PM Christy, I'm concerned at an apparent disconnect here. You say Depend would like to hear more about our concerns and suggestions, and then direct us to a page that contains this: We are eager to receive your comments and answer your questions about our products and our company. However, we cannot accept unsolicited ideas, suggestions or materials relating to the development, design, manufacture or marketing of our products. What's up with that? -RMS |

Dec 21 2011 06:34 AM that last coment relates to legal liability, i.e. if you give a sugjestion and they use it and then claim it was your idea and was money or want to sue, that disclaimer protects them. anyway even if they made better pull ons i will stay with the tape on diapers |

Re: breifs to boxers
Jan 21 2012 12:08 PM What can a boxer hold? The idea is just crazy. If you want a fashion diaper that works you have lots of choices. We have asked many times for a simple overnite diaper for adults in the design of a huggie. The huggies are wonderful inserts and as a booster they work. The problem is the product developers do not listen. Just read this board. Everyone is cheering for KC to deliver what they need. Depends are drying up on the shelves of all retail outlets in the US. The depends customers have found premium diapers that work and they are not boxers. It sounds to me serious marketing research is needed. |

Re: breifs to boxers
Jan 22 2012 07:14 AM American incontinent product makers, are not going to make a quality product. They have demonstrated their loyalty by churning out inferior products. We on the other hand are stupid enough to keep buying it and rewarding them with profits to take back to their stock holders. Not only that, they dominate precious shelf space and prevent quality diapers from being stocked. I am convinced they pay the stores for shelf space so the competition is not available! I pretty much buy my products via mail order and the stores loose out. I do buy my baby diaper (stuffers) locally when on sale. I bet 1/3 of baby diaper sales (step 6 and 7's) are not for the baby market but for bedwetters and adults like us. |

Re: breifs to boxers
Jan 22 2012 12:28 PM I'm not sure if you guys are talking about boxer style, like the goodnites that look like a diaper with boxers overtop or boxer-briefs that are more conforming. I think the latter would be good for a couple of reasons. The would help stop leaks around the legs and they wouldn't get so saggy when wet. They need leak shields and should be made of a comfortable, stetchy fabric like the Tena briefs are made of. |

Re: breifs to boxers
Jan 23 2012 01:04 PM LynnK you may actually be right about the baby diapers. I have been pulling all the references to this together and present something enlightening I actually found in an industry publication. T"he problem with determining how many people use disposable baby diapers for incontinence is as one article noted is because people are mortified to talk to strangers about their incontinence and manufacturers are secretive about their sales. The only statistics on this use for the disposable baby diapers were taken from Swedish surveys actually done back in the 80’s. At that time it was estimated that 28% of all disposable baby diapers and 32% of all disposable feminine hygiene products were purchased to treat adult incontinence. The figures in the following table are actually estimates of the number of products being used (Adult incontinence products, 1991). Disposables Institutional (mostly diaper style) 197 Retail (mostly undergarment pads) 382 Underpads for beds (90%) institutional) 110 Feminine Pads (used for incontinence, est.) 363 Baby Diapers (used for incontinence, est.) 1198 2250 Source: (Bouda & Bouda, 1990) References Bouda, J., & Bouda, F. (1990). Adult incontinence products. Nonwovens Industry , 1 (1991). Adult incontinence products; competing for the future. Nonwovens Industry |
