Tranquility Premium ATN Disposable Briefs with Tabs, Overnight Protection Superabsorbent Core for Leak-Free and Full-Fit Comfort, X-Large 72ct Case

I have had steady urinary and occasional bowel incontinence for over 20 years as a result of nerve damage from a motorcycle accident and over these decades I have worn too many brands and styles to recall. I have worn Tranquility brand plastic-backed diapers, including their Slimline diapers and their All-Through-The-Night (ATN) diapers. Comparing these two styles to each other, the Slimlines are thinner, with less absorbent core filler material than the ATN's. I have used the Slimlines while out and about, but I needed booster pads inside to better prevent embarrassing leakage. To not use boosters was always a recipe for disaster, unless I was making a short trip to the grocery store or to pickup a food order because they would inevitably leak. For clarification, my bladder leaks urine pretty constantly in small dribbles, nonstop, without my knowledge whatsoever throughout day or night. I just don't feel anything happening down there and don't realize when my diaper is needing to be changed until there is leakage or the diaper swells enough to be noticeable when I walk or visible under my clothing. A Slimline just doesn't last me for more than two or three hours, especially when I have had a lot of water or some other drinks, or when I have experienced bowel incontinence. In comparison, the ATN diapers get me through twice as many hours and very often can allow me to survive most of my workday without a diaper change until the last hour or so of my workday, except when I have a bowel movement which requires an immediate trip to the restroom, of course. Overnight, the ATN's work pretty well, but I have noticed some leakage from the top-backside of the diaper, which may have more to do with there being no elastic in the tops of the diapers and the fact that I change positions in bed from lying on my back to lying on my side, back and forth. Both the Slimlines and the ATN's are discreet and not thick, which some wearers appreciate. As for me, I have worn slimmer diapers, as well as thicker and bulkier diapers, and I really don't care which style of diaper I wear so long as it does its job to keep me and my clothing dry. I have tried the cloth-like diapers and, in my experience, they tend to leak both urine and odor, which is why I have long preferred plastic-backed diapers. Yes, plastic-backed diapers can be somewhat noisy, making a "crinkling" sound when I walk, sit/stand or move, but either nobody else hears it because my clothing muffles those sounds or other people respect my privacy and say nothing (or don't realize the sounds are coming from my diaper). Either way, the crinkling is not a problem for me. I much prefer the noises (loud or soft) to leakage from my diaper. The Slimlines and ATN's are both plastic-backed styles. These both have elastic inner leg gathers, too, which greatly helps to contain and channel voids (urine and feces), which is a feature that some cheaper diapers do not incorporate into their designs in order to reduce manufacturing costs, in my opinion. Even the ATN's with its increased absorption capacity and fast wicking due to its unique peach-colored core down the inside middle of the diapers does not compare with the high-end designer diapers such as those targeted to the ABDL (Adult Baby and/or Diaper Lover) markets, but the cost of the Tranquility ATN's, even with the addition of Tranquility's diaper boosters/inserts to increase void capacity, is significantly more affordable, especially when purchased in bulk (Tranquility's Slimline and ATN medium diapers come in case sizes of 96) and on a recurring autoship monthly basis, which offers a further discount, as well as relieving my worries about running out before remembering to order more diapers and needing to rush ship an order. I normally go through about three, sometimes fpur, diapers per day (morning, evening and overnight), but I can burn through diapers during the Summer when I drink more fluid due to the heat. I also change more frequently when I sweat more, which a plastic-backed diaper can cause you to do, or when I can smell my diaper's contents when I sit or walk, which makes me self-conscious that others, too, can "smell me"...or when I just feel "icky" or notice my diaper bulging through my clothing, or my diaper causing me to walk differently, or when I can hear squishy noises or feel clumping in my diaper (neither, of which, is usually an issue with the ATN diapers, but is often a problem with those cheap diapers that my insurance and the hospital provides for me). So, yeah, I would recommend the Tranquility ATN's for most folks who need them, like myself. They are not fancy with designs all over them, or made to last all day long, but for those qualities I would recommend diapers made for ABDL customers.

Free Samples: Before you order these, go to tranquilityproducts.com and try it for free. Of each category, you can order up to 2 sample packs. Each sample pack contains a quantity of 2. I recommend narrowing down your product in a category down to 1 and use your 2 free samples on the sizes since many people believe Tranquility fits on the small side. Get one of your free samples the size you think you are according to their size chart and then get one size bigger. I also order samples of the boosters since I’m a heaver wetter. You might also want to consider some of the other categories such as the disposable underwear (Pull-Up style) if you’re unsure if the briefs (tape on diapers) are right for you.Plastic Cover: These diapers have a loud crinkly plastic cover that I love but other might not. I like the plastic cover because they remind me of the “all plastic” baby diapers from my generation. Other benefits of an all plastic diaper is they have better odor control. It also prevents leaks if you’re a side sleeper. The crinkle can easily muffled under briefs or heavy clothing.Shape: These diapers are hour-glass shaped as you’d expect, but are very narrow between the legs. I guess the advantage to that is it might increase movement (no waddling) and minimize chafing. You don’t feel the diaper pressing against the inside of your legs.Padding: The padding is very thin so I like to double them up with boosters. I’m very impressed with how much the padding holds for being so thin. I like that the padding extends through the wings for added protection for side sleepers. The padding on the front doesn’t extent as high as it could. There’s several inches of excess material in the front beyond the padding. Read on to “Fitting Tips” to learn how I manage this excess material.Fit and Tapes: I normally fit a medium in other brands but the mediums are too small in Tranquilities so I get them in large. They have no stretch and no landing zone, only double layered tapes. If you get the tapes in the right position the first time, you can use the double layered tape as a make-shift landing zone so you can unfasten them on those occasions you can make it to the bathroom and refasten them when you’re done. Or if you don’t fasten it right the first time, use the double layered tapes as one last try to get it right. You might also find that because these diapers lack stretch, they tend to sag and are practically falling off by morning…or at least on me. Everyone is shaped differently, so it may be different for you. Read on to “Fitting Tips” for my solutions for what I consider a bad fit design.Fitting Tips: First lay the diaper out flat. Then put position your booster insert if you use those. Then fold the excess material in the front inward. Optional: Apply a couple of strips of white Duct Tape across the front outer cover if you want to create a landing zone. Lay down on the diaper. Verify you are positioned correctly by pulling the diaper front and sides up over yourself prior to taping. If you’re satisfied with your position, tape only the top tapes. Then apply white Duck Tape strips over and slightly below the top tapes. Fold over the ends of the Duck Tape to create pull-tabs. You don’t need the lower tapes. Tuck any excess material in the diaper. The result is a snug fitting diaper that’s only where you need it. It’s quite comfy, cool, non-restricting, and will stay snug all night.Value: I got these because I don’t want to waist my premium diapers that cost $2 - $3 a diaper during my workweek when I have to wake up so early. I hate the idea of throwing those expensive diapers away if I only wet them once or twice during a short night. These diapers are less than a $1 each so I don’t mind wasting them. However, to my surprise, they hold more than I expected following my “Fitting Tips.”

for the price these are the best. They hold a decent amount and keep you dry. the leg cuffs help keep leaks from happening and they fit well. my only complaints are that the tapes need to be stickier. sometimes they come undone when you're trying to fasten them tight. Additionally there's a lot of unpadded material at the top fron and back making this diaper go up past your belly button if its not folded. I will say that they are discrete, even when full. Pair this with a booster pad and a snap jumper or something to keep it tight against the body and you are set all day. I would like to see more colors by tranquility, but the ATN is their best product, i wouldn't even try something else unless it was free. These work well even for men, which has always been a concern since depending on the position of the member sometimes diapers don't absorb fast enough or leaks happen especially when sleeping on your side. these work really well.
