Brands Of Plastic Pants For Older Children And Teenagers With Bed-wetting Problems Part 3

A fourth brand of plastic pants that's highly regarded is the Suprima brand. These pants are made in Germany and are sold by a Canadian company called B4NS. There are several different models listed on the website. I spoke to the owner and he told me that the best model to use for bed-wetting would be the model 1232. This model has a higher back to accommodate thicker diapers,wide crotch,wide waistband,and has fully wrapped elastic just like the Leakmaster Deluxe pants previously mentioned. The Suprima plastic pants are kind of expensive but from what I understand they're worth it. The phone number for B4NS is (514)812-4917,the fax number is (450)433-5711,and their email address is info@b4ns.com Their web address is www.b4ns.com.

Another brand of plastic pants I'd like to talk about is manufactured and sold by a company called Babykins also known as KINS(which stands for Kinder Incontinent Supplies) They sell a medium weight pant. The model of this pant is 20300V and is slightly less thick than the Comco, Suprima,and Gary Leakmaster Deluxe pants.(The 20300 pant, which is the thickest model they offer, is 6 mils thick) I'm not sure how this pant compares to the other pants just mentioned. Many people prefer thicker plastic pants due to the fact that generally they're more durable. The price of the 20300V pant is $12.00. Some individuals like the KINS products so it might be worth looking into. The toll free number for Babykins is (800)665-2229. They also have a phone/fax number-(604)275-2255. Their web address is www.babykins.com.

The last brand of plastic pants I'd like to talk about are the Euroflex plastic pants made by Gary. This pant is made of a special type of plastic called urethane. Presumably this style is supposed to last longer than most traditional vinyl pants. According to the author of the New Diaper Primer: We feel Urethane's major attraction is long life. Urethane is a tougher plastic film than vinyl and resists tears,punctures,and the effects of laundering much better than vinyl. The urethane pants also look different than regular plastic pants. The standard color of plastic pants worn by most people is milky white and the urethane pants are made of a transparent plastic. The drawback of this particular style of plastic pants are the price. LL Medico and Angel Fluff Diaper Company are two of the companies that sell this pant. There may be other companies as well that you can purchase these pants from. You can check the Gary Manufacturing website and click on incontinent wear and incontinence products on the left hand side,then click on distributors list on the right hand side. The price range at LL Medico is $21.95(for the smallest size) to $44.95(for the largest size). The price range at Angel Fluff Diaper company is $32.95(for the smallest size) to $41.95(for the largest size). Angel Fluff calls this model the Super Flex pants. Whether or not it's worth paying the extra money for this type of pants is an individual choice. The other brands of vinyl pants just mentioned have a reputation for being good quality plastic pants and these might last as long as the urethane pants. As I have pointed out in other articles some people have good experiences with particular products and might rave them up and another person might try the same products and be disappointed. That being said there are brands of plastic pants and diapers out there that seem to be popular with a large number of people. As I mention later on in this article it might be a good idea to purchase a pair of plastic pants from each of the companies mentioned in order to get a feel for the comfort of the pants,the durability,as well as other factors. Ultimately the only way to find out if an incontinence product is suitable is to try it out.


As mentioned some people discover that there is a certain amount of trial and error involved in choosing a satisfactory product to manage their incontinence. This doesn't happen with everybody but you shouldn't feel disappointed if it does take some time to find a product that best meets your needs.. There are some people who might prefer the thicker plastic pants for various reasons and think they're the best choice, whereas others might prefer the thinner plastic pants. It was pointed out on one website that there are individuals who find the thinner plastic pants more comfortable to wear. On the other hand there are people who find the thicker plastic pants to be just as comfortable

As discussed before,the drawback of the thinner plastic pants is that in general they're not as durable as thicker plastic pants and therefore they don't last as long. Here's a quote from the Diaper Primer regarding this: " Thinner plastic pants,generally perceived as softer and more comfortable as starters age more rapidly than heavier-gauge(thicker) plastics." Because they're thicker than the Kins plastic pants and they seem to be highly rated by many people,my inclination would be to purchase the Comco,the Leakmaster Deluxe pants,and the Suprima pants. In this case it might be advisable paying a little extra for plastic pants that are more durable as opposed to buying several pairs of pants that are less expensive but will wear out quicker.

Given the fact that each of the brands mentioned in this article have worthwhile features it might be prudent to purchase a pair from each one in order to figure out what works best for you. Granted this might be kind of expensive but as I pointed out earlier it's probably the best way to determine what pant feels most comfortable,which brand fits you the best, and which one holds up the longest.


Another thing to keep in mind is this. By buying multiple pairs of plastic pants you can rotate the pants in the laundry cycle so they can cut down the wear on any one pant. In fact I've heard that it's not uncommon for people to buy multiple diapers and plastic pants. Given this fact and since there might be more than one brand that suits your purposes, it might be worth spending the extra money to have a good supply of plastic pants. Also there are people who have more than one favorite brand of plastic pants. For example I read about individuals who use both the Comco and Suprima brand of plastic pants There are some people who are only satisfied with one brand or type of incontinence product whereas others find that their needs can be met by more than one as pointed out in the beginning of this article-there's no law that says you just have to stick to one brand or type of incontinence product. In fact this situation might not be that uncommon. As far as alternating the use of each pair of plastic pants one way to do this is to have the youngster wear one brand of plastic pants on one night,another brand the next night,etc.The pants that were used the previous night can be washed and rinsed out in a basin then hung out to dry on the clothesline as opposed to washing and drying all of the plastic pants in one day. The reason you might want to do it this way is because you'll also be taking care of the wet cloth diapers as well and this will cut down on the time spent laundering the bedwetting garments. By having 5 or more pairs of plastic pants you can extend the life of the garments because you won't be using one pair of pants all the time. Theoretically this should cut down on the wear and tear as a result of laundering the pants. The pants that seem to be the best choices are the pants from Comco Manufacturing and Comco Inc(as mentioned earlier in this article there are two different companies called Comco that manufacture and sell plastic pants) the Leakmaster Deluxe sold by both Adultclothdiaper.com and Angel Fluff Diaper Company, the Suprima plastic pants,and the Gary Euroflex pants. I did a rough calculation and it would be about $100.00(not including shipping) if you bought a pair of each one of these pants which would be 5 pants total.

In terms of comfort the elastic on the pants can play a part in how comfortable a particular brand of plastic pants are. This is another point brought up in the Diaper Primer. Some people might feel that the elastic on certain brands of plastic pants is too tight for them. I would talk to the customer service department of whatever company or companies(if you're planning on trying more than one brand of plastic pants) you're planning on buying from and ask them if it would be a good idea to buy pants in a larger size in order to have a looser fit thereby minimizing the discomfort caused by tight fitting elastic.
