Zippo Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Im from the UK and i currently have Tena and Abriform xplus diapers. I love the Abrifroms and i will be getting more when they run out, but im wondering if i should try any other brands available in the UK? Links to online shops would be good along with reivews!

hidden Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 send me some tena if you are tired of them. US tena suck. Link to comment
Squidgy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 You could try Bambino's from Cuddlz.com - i've never had any problems ordering from there and stuff usually arrives in 1 to 2 working days (unless you're in a hard to reach place of course) That's if you don't mind paying more though, as 8 bambino's cost more than 14 x-pluses - but imo they are worth it And if you find x-pluses too thick for inconspicuous daytime use, an alternative to the thinner Abena's (Extra/Super/Plus) is Molicare from BlushingBuyer. They hold a decent amount, are fairly quiet and a bit thinner than both the bambino and x-plus, which helps when wearing tight-ish jeans etc. Never had trouble with BB either. Packaging from both companies is very discreet too Link to comment
AutieAB Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 You could try Molicares (make sure to get the Super Plus absorbency). They're not quite as good as AbriForm and Tena Slip (IMHO) but they're still quite good. Other than that and Bambino, you've sampled the best, the only way is downhill, really... Link to comment
Parole Diver Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I am fond of Indaslip, which compete with Tenas on absorbancy, have a nice aloe scent and, most importantly, are the most crinkly diaper I have been able to find in the UK. I used to get from Woodstock Pharmacy (who sent me a sample of them when I bought Tenas) but try http://www.bmsupplies.co.uk/p-774-indaslip-maxi-3-all-in-one-nightime-diaper.aspx as they look cheaper.

Princess Alice Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks for the link to Cuddlz, I've been wanting to try something else than Tena for a while now. Anyone know what discreet online shops do Abriform? Link to comment

babykeiff Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I find that the Indaslip 'suck' big time - they tend to constantly leak, and similar to the molicare, the padding tend to break up and go everywhere within the diaper. This leaves huge amounts of the diaper without any padding. Link to comment
Squidgy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks for the link to Cuddlz, I've been wanting to try something else than Tena for a while now. Anyone know what discreet online shops do Abriform? BamboNature (a.k.a. Topak Marketing) are ok - I'm not sure how they package single bags but the boxes are sent as is (with writing on just like Abena do), so be careful if you've got eagle-eyed colleagues/parents/roommates that might answer for the delivery and question it. Never had any catalogues in the post from them either Link to comment

Princess Alice Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I live with housemates, hence the discreet bit. Thanks for the help, folks. Link to comment
AutieAB Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I live with housemates, hence the discreet bit. Memories of my student days... Trying to navigate a big box of diapers through a house that was never empty There`s not much that`s discrete about a full-size case even if it`s free of markings, they`re quite big boxes (big enough to trigger a curious "what`s that" if you carry it through the kitchen). Suggest you order a bag at a time if the house is normally busy. It`ll cost a bit more but they`re easier to secrete away... Link to comment
babykandy Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Try Kendall Lille Supreme Fit Maxis - they're almost as good as Molicare super / Abena Abriform, and about half the price (about 50p each). http://www.youreableshop.co.uk/browse/personal-and-incontinence-care-22/disposable-all-in-one-adult-nappies-briefs-55/ Link to comment

I was hopefuly plannng on using that Cuddlz link to buy a couple of each type I wanted to try, smaller to package and easier to hide. Here's hoping, anyway. Link to comment
