While I don’t currently have any diapers to wear home on the plane because I am visiting family, I will be making another flight in late January (6-7 hours total). Any recommendations on diapers that are less bulky and quiet? I would only use them to wet in. I just don’t want the person next to me hearing me wet my diaper.
I always wear Abena pull-ups M3. Very discrete, very absorbent and long lasting. As airline toilets are so small and it is difficult to take the trousers off I take a tabbed nappy to change into though. I gave up worrying about anybody finding our that I was in a nappy a long time ago, and did wear a crinkls recently for a night flight, I even walked down the isle carrying it on the way to the WC, not sure whether anyone noticed or not!

I wore a betterdry last year during my flight, it is a high capacity diaper that didn’t need changing until i arrived at my hotel and that was a blessing.
As for TSA, they patted me down and didn’t say a word.

try to avoid thick padding, they dont like that when they pat you down, I had to go to a private screening as they didn’t understand, was a annoying but not a big deal

Well since I’m with a meet and assist it’s not easy to interrupt for changing in between. It’s really a hassle.
They can pat me down all they want, i don’t care. But I prefer the security of a thick daytime diaper.

Me too, I got use to TSA seeing my waistband, only one younger agent had unprofessional reaction, he just didn’t know what to do or say, but was polite. I use to travel regularly by plane and often was diapered, never wet myself on the plane though, except one time but I was on meds that could cause problems like that.
I never ever say what meds as I don’t want people getting stupid idea. Some meds have a similar effect as alcohol on me and make me more likely to wet in my sleep.

I think a few options of cloth backed (quiet) and not so thick are Seni Super Plus, Abena M3, or Northshore AirPremium. There is also a thicker version of each of these brands; Seni Super Quatro, Abena M4, and Northshore Air Supreme.

I agree with RedPandaDL’s suggestions. I fly several times a month and always wear diapers. I wear thick diapers as I really don’t care what anybody thinks and I need the extra protection as I am almost always in First Class where the drinks flow freely and I like to get my money’s worth

Northshore GoSupreme are my go to for flights, worn Mega Max as well for heavier days. For some the mega max may be too bulky but the way I look at it is I want to be reassured I have necessary protection and don’t have any embarrassing leaks when I get up from my seat. I’ve also become very comfortable wearing mega max in public and the extra bulk is not going to be noticed by anyone, wets spots will…
Nothing.
There is nothing illegal about diapers so TSA isn’t going to do anything.
Tena brand Ultra briefs. If you’re a 32" waist male the medium size is really good and doesn’t leak if you’re afraid of sleep wetting or something. The fit is great and doesn’t show under pants as long as you’re not wearing skinny jeans.
I am confident when I go out, they really don’t leak, and you’ll know if you’re wet but nobody else will know because they don’t get all bulky. They hold their shape and don’t smell like pee either if you wet them. Just cary a spare for a 6 hour flight. Tana briefs are a 5hour one before you need a change in my experiences. Three wettings and you’ll feel you need a change but won’t leak if you know how to tape on a brief style diaper for travel.
I wear the same diaper I always do…ConfiDry 24/7, large booster and plastic pants. Never had any problems.

“Absorbent” and “long lasting” shouldn’t go in the same sentence with abena products (let alone m3s!), especially when they’re competing with the myriad of other premium diaper offerings out there. That’s just flat out misinformation.

I love the xp5000 very absorbent and very quite, I like to use an abena maxi booster, took a while to stop the leaking in bed, learned I had to pull the bottom tape upward a lot to get them to seal on my legs

What a very aggressive response! So, ‘absorbent‘ and ‘long lasting’ “shoudn’t go in the same sentence”. Maybe we all have to be legally correct and state that “in my opinion” with every sentence. Personally I find them very good. Please expand on ‘premium diapers’ for all the girls and boys. Maybe you like to flood your nappy, personally I have no choice and drip into mine slowly being incontinent following a prostatectomy.

But they might think you’re using them to hide drugs or explosives or something, so want to do more tests… especially if you don’t look like a “typical adult diaper wearer” (i.e. elderly or disabled).
All they do, as with everyone’s carry-on is scan it for hidden items.
Diapers are known to be used as a hiding place for drugs and other illegal contraband, yes, even a toddler’s dirty diaper was once used to hide drugs in :O.o:
So if you stuff your diapers with a booster inside the plastic like me then you’ll be taken to a private room and those diapers will be cut open for inspection, but if you do not modify them then they won’t do anything, even when patting you down, they know how a diaper feels like and they will not go beyond the edge of the leg gatherer’s ribble on your bottom, because otherwise they’d be in violation of some rule i forgot.
If however they’re not trained well and think you’re hiding something under your clothes they might again take you to a private room.
Once I had a TSA officer (a young one) point at my CGM which is injected in my belly, he even pressed violently with his finger at it and that hurt, those are times when I really hate them. Yes I did show him, yes I did explain it was there , what it was etc, but he was unknowing and obviously not trained in these technologies.
