There are basically 2 types of adult diaper products for use with incontinence not including incontinent liners with mesh pants.  There are adult diapers with re-fastening tape tabs usually 2 per side and the pull up style disposable diaper undergarments.

There is no doubt that the tape tab diapers are more absorptive and are the product of choice when dealing with any type of bowel or fecal incontinence.  Pull On Adult Diaper types are usually used with more active adults with good mobility and ability to change the product themselves.

The disadvantage of Pull On Adult Diapers in this situation is that even though they have tear away sides for easy removal, you still have to remove your pants in order to put another pull up diaper on.

Tape tab diapers are difficult to put on correctly yourself or on another person for that matter.  The easiest way for you to guide the adult diaper product to ensure a good fit is to use the wetness indicator strip as a guideline.  Place the wetness indicator strip that runs the legnth of the diaper along the gluteal fold or (Butt Crack) and use this as the guide for keeping the diaper centered.  Then you can fasten the tape tabs and be confident that you will end up with the same amount of material on both sides.

My recommendation is to use a combination of products for different times of the day and changing daily activities.   The pull on diapers can be used during the day and the tape tab diapers can be used at night.  You should also try liner inserts without plastic backing as these can be used as booster pads for heavy wetters.
