I found out that ABU Cushies are now avaiable for Japanese customers in Japan.

As many have said before me, having just tried them recently, they are pretty poor capacity. That said, I didn't have any leaking issues at all and the single tapes worked a lot better than expected although I do prefer two. They just reach capacity very fast compared to everything else I have tried. They seem to have even less capacity than the US Attends with Waistband.

I really wish Omu-ya shipped to the US. Such a great stock.

They are moderately poor capacity when you look at it, but I've found that a simple stuffer inside and they last two full wettings while also making me feel disgustingly cute the entire time, lol. I love my bambinos, though I haven't gotten any in a while, but I also enjoy my Cushies. They just need a little extra stuffing to hold up to a wetting.

Strangely, the 1 tape design seems to fit me better than the 2 tapes of other brands.

It's sad that Cushies aren't more absorbent. If they were then bambino would really have something to worry about. In my opinion they are by far the best looking abdl diaper out there but they can't really hold anything so, yeah...............that kind of defeats the purpose of a diaper. I like using them over bambinos actually. That way I have an awesome looking diaper on top but I also don't have to worry about leaks. The extra thickness and crincklyness from the cushy are also awesome. It's definitely not an economic use of diapers but if your like me and don't wear that often then it's not too expensive at all.

Okay, I don't know why this is so hard to get, but I'll point it out again about the ABU branded diapers. Both the SDK and Cushie are the same except the print, unless there's a manufacturer variation/mistake that happens once in a while. They are just larger baby diapers, and a lot larger. Which leads to several things people must consider before forming an opinion on them:

Capacity: Real baby diapers were never designed to hold much, but were instead designed to hold some really well. Aside from that, see the price point later.

Fit: Round people, different from fat but including many heavy set people as well, will fit the shape better, because most adults lose the baby curves, specifically on the bottom. Not to mention the waist changes shape into adulthood. While they look great on the models, they may not fit everyone well. I prefer their fit because I never outgrew my childhood shape so they fit me "in all the right places," as the old 80's ads for baby diapers use to say.

Features: They fit the standard features, elastic waist was not a standard feature in the 80's, it was considered a premium feature then and is still considered a premium feature for all diapers today. The reason for lacking the elastic waist and some other lesser known features (like the end leak "guards") is best in the price location.

Price: They are custom ordered. The machines that make diapers have to be set up for different types. Most brands use a standard for the diaper (adult or child) and just change the print or material make up. The manufacturer doesn't have to make any real changes to the set up of the machines for this, they just put something else in the input portion of the machine. ABU, however, has a completely unique design, an adult sized baby shaped diaper. This requires a lot of changes to the machines, so the manufacturer charges more because it increases the number of employees plus they can't produce them with the bulk brands like the others. So ABU put what they could into the product without raising the price too much. You have to realize just how little we pay for this brand compared to how much it could cost. Just for the extra print on the Cushies the manufacturers have to charge a lot more because of the number of colors and patterns.

Not to say that your points are invalid, just you can't compare apples to oranges, and that's what ABU brand versus others is like. Oddly, both the Cushies and SDK hold more than they should, ABU increased the amount of padding in the backside due to high requests, and also had to raise the price a bit to cover it. I have never had a leak with them, where even the Bambinos leaked for me. It's all about the fit more than the absorbency there. Just remember, always get a sample pack before you order a case. The really odd thing is that I get them as a replacement for medical briefs, the only medical brands that don't irritate my skin are more expensive and don't fit me right. My only complaint is they should make the SDK plain white, I buy both though. When going out I use the Cushies, when going to the doctor's office the SDK.

Hmm, I wonder what the production line employees think of the whole ABDL thing. I can just see one of them at the bar on Friday night, trying to pick up girls. "So, where do you work?" "Oh, um, in some factory south of town." "Hey, that's really cool. What do you guys make?" "Umm, diapers. For really big babies."

Two things, it would depend on the country, not all countries are as twisted as us in the US. Second, if they're good employees .. they wouldn't care one way or the other. They'd just do their job.

Just got samples. Not too absorbant but comfortable. My fav feature is the single tape on each side. If they were made in plain white, I would buy them regularly. I posted pics in my gallery. http://www.dailydiap...llery&album=902 I also got samples of the bmx and super dry kids too. Havent tried them yet.

being bored today, I was just poking around and popped over to the ABU site (I know, I know!) and I noticed thathey are only carrying the plastic backed cushies, and discontinued the cloth like ones...just passing along an observation...

[adriansurley]

The cloth-like diapers I guess are popular in the world of incontinence not ABDL that is why many manufacturers are moving towards cloth.  Hopefully, ABUniverse and Bambino stick with mainly plastic! I think they will.

They did not discontinue them - I know others have contacted them and were told, no, they still intend to produce them, but likely will not have stock of them until at least May (I'm guessing that after the "sissy" diapers are sent out to those that ordered them, they will start production again on the cloth backed cushies).

I'm wearing an ABU Cushie right now, and I can say it holds quite a bit. I don't think these were meant to truly hold a grown adult's full go. They were meant to for play and a moderate amount of pee. And they are really cute. They're my first set of baby-like diapers, and I am not disappointed.
