[QUOTE="slsh, post: 465738, member: 8"] We use Baby Dry, and no, we don't make any modifications. I think part of the key of their absorbency is to keep them intact - I would think if you cut it, it might just wick fluid out through the cuts. My son is probably 130-135 pounds. No way to actually fasten the diaper they way they're intended; he's just too big. I roll him on his left side, position adult diaper next to him and then put Pamper inside adult diaper. The back of the Pamper reaches about 3/4 of the way up his buttocks, or a smidge more, when I roll him back onto the diaper combo. The front of the Pamper covers his front completely. The sides don't even reach his hip bones, but that's not been a problem. I make sure Pamper is positioned snugly, then fasten adult diaper, which holds Pamper in place. Picture kind of an oversized sanitary pad. The only problem we've ever had is if the Pamper is not smoothed out on the buttocks. My son is quadriplegic, so is unable to reposition himself. If there are any folds in the Pamper on the backside, it will aggravate his skin (from sitting on the fold). Positioning it might be different on a female or a larger person - it's a matter of trial and error. Also, when I change him for the night, I tend to position the Pamper higher up his backside - front is still covered, but you've got gravity working against you when the person is lying down (he only sleeps on his back) so I aim for more coverage based on that. I wouldn't hesitate to use 2 Pampers if needed - expensive, but beats accidents. We've been using this strategy ever since he outgrew Pampers alone, so from about 60 pounds up to his current wt.
