ATNs are my fave as well.

I got some NorthShore Supreme Briefs and have these photos to share: New diaper still folded: Unfolded minus waist/wings: Front Wings Close-up, nice suple plastic all around, great/thick coverage and standing leg guards: Rear wings with dual/refastenable tape system: Firm and thick coverage, but not as much as say, a Bambino. A very happy medium I think: The fill in these are just thick enough to be rigid so it maintains it's shape versus molding more to your body's form.

Where do we buy these? Thanks.

I love the ATNs personally.

In the diaper thread above I saw they offer samples.

If you liked the plastic Cushies and enjoy cloth-like cover, you will be happy with them. They are essentially the same, just with the added covering, that's all.

These are disposable cloth-feel diapers. Definitely not reusable. ABU's website is www.abuniverse.com, you can order a small package there to try out.

Got mine. I still have some regular plastic Cushies and the new ones - they both look identical other than the cloth-like coating and hook/loop + sticky tapes. I don't see any reason to order a larger size than you would normally get with the regular Cushies. Under the cloth-like cover is normal plastic. I found a loose edge around the tape and started peeling it back - underneath it's just like the original cushie with the original landing zone and everything. If anything, there might be a possibility that the plastic used on these is a little thinner than the original, but I can't say for sure. The main thing I was curious about was if these would be quiet enough to use everyday. They're definitely quieter - I would say at least 50%. Not enough that I would feel comfortable wearing other than play time. All-in-all, I think it's a definite win for the AB/DL community.

I finally decided to give them a shot. Ordered a 20 pack today.

This could be genius. I mean, there's definitely good reason to use the plastic backing, but most kids growing up these days have never used or enjoyed those. ABU is providing a product that's likely plenty fine for daily use while giving new AB/DLs something to get them started into this world we share. If they become heavy users, then they probably change to buying plastic. I want to try them because they might allow me to wear the cutest diaper in the most discrete way possible. Plastic ones are way too noisy to wear discretely.

I want to try some.

Cute! Cushies look-a-likes. I'm curious where the design started from as well.

Just thought I would re-iterate what others are saying, XP Medical does not spam either by mail or e-mail. You may get e-mails about the status of your order and/or shipment, but once it's out the door they don't bother you ever again. XP is a terrific place to buy from.

And those same people would be regarded as "judgmental" if they leaped to the conclusion of guilt. Do we have statistics that "most people" are "judgmental"? I'm unsure on that one, but anyone judgmental would not be a good friend to keep regardless of wether you have skeletons in your closet or not. I'm late to this thread, but think that most others have said what I would say - If they don't bring it up and continue to come around, then the likelihood is very high that they were not offended or concerned about your play things and require no explanation. If either brings up the topic then feel free to give them whatever details you feel comfortable sharing, but mostly how the lifestyle has been positive in your life. Be sure to focus on yourself and not others since that might be construed as a way to bring them into the lifestyle. By all means, let them make that decision all on their own.

I've read that there are endless bugs and issues with the 1.0 Bukkit build. I know of another clan who ran the 1.0 Bukkit and their world files got corrupted repeatedly and they didn't even use any actual plug-ins. (Their host was requiring Bukkit use.) They later moved back to a vanilla server and had to use chunkster to repair the main world - nether was trashed.
