*** Valves

[MATTBIN]

Nappies anyone? I believe as Steve said the valves etc were reviewed and the females had the last laugh with incontinence pads (pants). However we could use those and then discretely dispose of them later. No valves, no leaks, no worries about the shop having run out of "extra large" condoms and having to squeeze into a smaller size. Problem solved for all?

Had to have boots replaced after 4 years due to small but annoying leak, but that seems ok really for such a long time, especially as the legs were regularly turned inside out due to inlet valve having some probs, but that's made by apeks I believe so can't really blame ND.

Hmm...I think buying condoms might be less embarassing than buying Kanga pants!

[MATTBIN]

The last time I bought condoms (for a friend obviously) the lady on the till winked and said have a good weekend, I just get the wife to get them now with the weekly shop, so much easier, never use them (married man) but keeps the ego happy.

Hello,
To use nappies you must be with buddy, or else is a big problem,...can you imagine getting ready before dry suit, your buddy puts a towel on boat deck, let you on your back on it, remove your under wear, and then grap you from your feet by one hand and putting talcom powerder by the other, like small babies. Then fastned your nappie hehe, or there an other method??
Another problem is how to convince my wife that I need condoms for a dive with my club ?!?
On a serious note, who have tried them both and which is the best? Wearing a condom in a dive site, I think is an other problem when ladies are present, what are your comments?

Women on the dive site!!!!! GOOD. The more the merrier. Most are experienced in condoms and rubber-wear, these days. You never know what reply you would get if you ask for a lending hand......LOL Hey its the new millennium after all.

Have fun diving

Ask another woman for a lending hand, my God man my wife would lynch me by my own braces. New millenium or not she's not THAT understanding. Pierre I just loved the mental picture conjured up by the buddy pair and nappies, but I think you'll find there sort of like the disposable huggy ones i.e. self donning is possible but hey if you get off on the other method who am I to knock it.

I asked my wife to get me some nappies for a long dive planned for next Saterday and she roled arround on the floor laughing so much I had to go and get them my self. I stood in Boots trying to look as cool as possible with a pac of super absorbent incontinance breifs in my hand and considered the benifit of telling the cashear it was for my grandad. In the end I just looked for the oldest uglest cashear and put it through the till and thanked god she didnt ask for a price check.

I will let you know how I get on as till now it has just been hold and hope but its dammed cold and I have a lot of deco planned.

I considered a pee valve &nbsp;but it is expensive and I couldent face glueing my dick into a condom. Ordering size small to facilitate my penus retreating to my lower abdomen during cold wether was also too much embaresment to bear. If I got one I would probably end up ordering large and trying to reduce them with super glue:)

Hi Mark,
Why not consider mail order...not to buy XL condoms hehe. On a serious note, my TDI inst. told me that when using 'nappies'....hehe...., try to urinate very slowly, bit by bit or else you flood 'nappy' and it would not have enough time to absorb and will end up in you booties. I would suggest to send your wife shopping and try one on at home and urinate, so that you can check what happens before you are underwater with deco penalty, with piss in your booties.

Can someone give hints but from recent experience (not when was a baby)if the above is true or not.

Regards

Pierre

There is a lot to be said for the old wet suit (+ rinsing)
