Q: where can i buy plastic pants with welded seams (waist,legs & sides)?

I wet the bed sometimes,(it varies from one night a month to twenty tiimes a month)so i always wear a nappy in bed. I have been using disposables but find them far to expensive,as the re-sealable tapes never do re-seal and so a dry nappy is wasted! so i am trying cloth nappies.the problems i have with plastic pants are,leaks from sewn seams and the elastic not being tight enough at the legs and waist to accommedate the size of the nappy

If in the Uk buy the largest Sandra plastic pants (60) and small nick the hems where the elastic is, pull the elastic through and re not and trim. they should not split with use but get hard and need repalcing. You can use together many cheap towls from Tesco, Asda ETC folded to suit. These are easy to dry if you use a spinner. Rinse in cold water with disinfectant and wash or boil with as little soap as you can.(info due to diverticular).

You can order very good plastic pants made by Suprima / Herzlieb. They are welded seems and last very long. You can order them from a conpany online www.b4ns.com

They aren't cheap but on the other hand they last 2 to 4 times longer than others. I advise to buy them in white or yellow x these two are oil and bodyfluid resistend which keeps them soft ans durable for a long time.
