I tend to stay away from really cheap products, because you really do get what you pay for, but then again depending on your needs you may not need the most expensive product out there. One that I really would recommend would be the NorthShore supreme lite brief from NorthShore care supply, it's available with both a plastic and a cloth like back sheet. And it's very absorbent, without being overly bulky. It's my primary daytime diaper.

As Tallanbald stated, I stay away from the cheap products. Although I only need to use for overnight, I have learned that the cloth backed tend to leak, so I need to locate products that are PE backed. I also cannot stand "bulky" products as they are very uncomfortable. Finally, trying to find something that has a reasonable cost is all tricky.

One product that I really like that meets all of these needs is Tranquility (ATN). The problem I have is that Tranquility products tend to run a little small. The medium are too small for me and the large are far too large. So, I cannot obtain a good fit.

I have been using the Wellness Briefs and also the "Total Dry Overnight Briefs" from Securepersonal care. I really like these briefs as they are thin, hold a lot and I have had no leaks. Both of these products can be found for around $1 / brief, which I found is a good price.

Hope this helps.

Hey, you should tell us where are you from as many companies based in USA for example doesn't send their products to EU or Asia. If you are from US though then you have really a lot of great companies. From my side I would recommend hexa: try.hexanow.com/55667788/ as I have ordered some things there and I really enjoy them, they are of high quality and also they are best price-wise I have found on the internet so far. So if you are on budget, I can't think of other choice right now. If you have some more cash and you want to order from bigger company, there is plenty of those out here. If I may give you a tip, best option is to test products from many different websites for yourself as everyone is different and you won't know what suits you better unless you try it yourself.

Not what you're looking for?
