Practical advice: Don’t wear underwear over a diaper if you expect it to work.
“But, it keeps the diaper from sagging!” - I have heard this piece of “advice” many times about many things. Thinking just a bit about why a diaper sags when wet or messy - pee takes up space. It is a liquid and has volume, and therefore needs somewhere to go. Whether a SAP heavy product or not (the swelling stuff), that volume needs to expand. Diapers are designed with the room to allow for that, seeing as the width of the brief is 2x+ the thickness of standard cut cotton briefs. The pee needs to expand, hugging it close to the body keeps it from doing that. If it can not contain the volume, the only place it can go is -out-, and you leak.
Side note: leaking is always far more noticeable than a diaper bulge.
“it keeps the crinkling down!” - Crinkling is almost always only audible to the wearer. Your ears are only a torso-length away from your crotch, and you know exactly what a diaper sounds like. Beyond that, chances are if you’re sensitive enough to try to cover the sound with underwear, you are paying a lot more attention to it than anyone else ever would. A practical solution would be choose something cloth backed for public. If that’s not an option, the loudest parts are anywhere there is loose plastic - a waistband is a particularly common place. If it has room to rub, especially against itself, it’ll make a noise. Adjust taping to keep things taught, fold down the waistband, etc. Keeping underwear overtop brings you little especially if the waistband is poking out the top. It may feel more secure mentally, but all you’re doing is adding another layer of fabric that in turn adds bulk.
I don’t feel like continuing on with an essay like this, so I’ll leave with a great video source on the matter, linked here. Their findings show that underwear over a diaper, on average, decreases absorbency by 50%.
Wear what makes you happy and comfortable, but recognize that some of the ‘tips and tricks’ floating around online require more thought. This is one of those topics, as you are sacrificing half of your absorbency for a little peace of mind. Just remember: very few people, if any, will ever spot a diaper bulge. Even fewer can hear you crinkle. People can, and will, know what happened if you leak!
