I've searched the forums for this topic but I didn't find anything.
I have a problem and my problem is leakage. I leak when my boxer briefs aren't tight enough. But if I wear a diaper I don't leak. You're probably thinking that the diaper is absorbing the leakage but it doesn't leak because it neither smells, feels, nor looks like I've leaked. I think I don't leak when wearing diapers because they hold my junk in place. But if I wear my boxer briefs I tend to leak, I think its because my boxer briefs aren't tight enough to hold my junk in place. Does this or has this ever happened to anyone else?

A cheap test would be to buy a couple pair of "tighty whiteys" and test it out. I had similar problems, and ended up using condom caths. Never thought about using the jockeys, till you brought it up.

I don't know if it would make much difference, since the vakve that is doing the leaking isn't down in the "junk drawer" ,,,,, but if you don't leak with a diaper, but do with the boxers,,, it's worth a shot at testng the theory.

I bet you are leaking and the diaper is doing its job real well.

I suggest you get Depend Guards. You can wear them with your briefs and not have to wear a diaper. When a guard gets wet, slip it out and replace it with a dry one.

Yeah, Zen. I've been using non-belted Depends briefs, cut in half, and two sizes smaller jockey low cut briefs for years. Trouble is I'm like a little kid and wait too long to void or change!!!! Things have gotten worse the past few few years and I've had to resort to a sheath and bag at night.

Another way you can test it (I've come across the same thought) is by stuffing a piece of toilet paper or tissue into the diaper while you're wearing it... if they're wet, then the diaper must just be doing its job!

As I had written, when I wear a diaper I don't leak at all. I don't feel any moisture. There is no smell. And there isn't any trace of urine on the diaper. I think I don't leak when wearing a diaper because the diaper is compressing my jewels. But I am going to give doubling up my boxer briefs a shot. It sounds like that might work for me.
