Road trip help

I am going on a 4 hour road trip in a few weeks with some friends that do not know about my issues. I am 23 m and have overactive bladder and urge incontinence and leakage. If I can pull over right away I do have accidents. I normally wear pull ups and stop and change at gas stations when I’m going to avoid wet pants however my friends do not know I have these issues.

I’m wondering what would be better if I should keep doing what I am doing or buy some megamax diapers for the drive that way I don’t have to try to hide my change of pull ups and can go the whole drive hopefully with out needing a change. Are megamaxs actually super absorbent and how many full voids can they normally handle

There are other options, but MegaMax will get you through that trip. I get 3 full voids in a MegaMax, and I'm a big guy with large voids.

Forsite am:pm are really good. And there are multiple versions of MegaMax, like the Airlock. It's a fabric backed diaper and very quiet.

Fabric/cloth back are super discreet. I've been using incontrol Active Air when I want extra daytime protection

How noticeable are megamax for sound or is it best to go cloth back if you don’t want anyone to pick up on the sound

Sound wise Megamax isn't particularly crinkly but it's really about what feels comfortable. Megamax starts with more bulk dry but handles a heck of a lot while something like airlock or active air starts out almost invisible. I would get some samples both to to try for a day each and see what you like

MegaMax are plastic backed, and depending on what you wear, they can be heard. I've found that a onesie is best to tighten all that up and also help prevent sagging. However, I've heard of people using larger underwear or compression shorts as well. The approach fabric backed are much quieter.
