Hello Everyone,

I've been a long time user of the ConfiDry 24/7 (courtesy of XP Medical) and have only had a few very minor daytime leaks due to pin-prick sized holes that were easily contained by my plastic pants and only one nighttime leak that I can recall, out of the top of the diaper. I do use booster pads for the extra security. Overall the 24/7 with a booster and plastic pants has been a very reliable combination for me. That said I have noticed that the plastic exterior has gotten a lot thinner recently and the new tapes become detached at their base if they're pulled too hard. Once on they seem to be okay, and if I'm careful when attaching and adjusting the tapes I have no separation issues. I do find it necessary to reinforce the upper tapes at night to prevent slippage at the waist and a wet bed, which is pretty universal with all diapers except for the MegaMax and its amazing landing zone. All in all they're still a great diaper, but there has been a decline in quality.

I'm very impressed with the MegaMax advertising and also the Northshore website. I decided to give the MegaMax a try and requested a sample. The basic capacity was great and the tape "landing zone" is simply amazing. The samples I received worked well so I ordered a case to try out. A case of 40 came to $ 107.68, which is $ 2.69 per diaper. A case of 72 of the ConfiDry 24/7 runs me $ 128, which comes to 1.78 per diaper. That's almost a $ 1 difference. I did have one MegaMax leak at the leg, which is pretty serious for me. I am an active professional and really, really don't want to wet my pants in public. While not catastrophic, the leak was big enough that it would have been obvious to anyone that noticed that I had wet my pants. Even though it probably isn't necessary, I always use a booster and plastic pants just for the extra security so the leak could have been even worse. I'd be willing to give the MegaMaxes another shot and write the leak off to bad luck, but for a dollar more per diaper, it just isn't worth it to me. Provided the MegaMax doesn't leak again, it is a marginally superior diaper to the 24/7, but not enough to justify that much extra cost, which over the course of a year would run me about $ 960 more.
