The large size is the same as the previous size large. They absorb way better and the plastic and interior is much stronger. The tapes still sometimes pop off, but I put them on pretty tight. Overall I like the latest version, I haven't order any since back in stock currently as I still have plenty. For the larges and for me, I hope they didn't change again. I do wish they'd get XL back in stock. That bums me out. Oh well, after all this is a luxury and not a necessity.
