The Abri-form brief
is very comfortable, and absorbent. It has dual tape tabs so you
can refasten the brief if needed. Mikey

These are excellent diapers! They are as
thick or perhaps a little thicker than Molicare, have better
tapes than Molicare and are WHITE-not that weird purple color.
If you like diapers that stand out as diapers, these will work
as they are thick, and have very large writing on them saying
"Abri Form" and "Medium X-Plus" in
stripes down the whole diaper.
As far as absorbency goes, these are
thirsty diapers. They do fit like Molicare-which to me
means the Medium is a little on the small size (I fit nicely in
a medium Attends, but medium Molicare and Abri are snug and
don't wear as high in the waist as I would like).
They are not very crinkly-wish they
crinkled more! Diapers4Me
-
By far this is the best diaper I have ever worn.
It is twice as thick as a Molicare when it gets wet and holds a
lot more as well. I wore mine all night and all the next day
without changing it and had no leaks. The absorbent material
inside this diaper is identical to what is put in pampers and
swells so nicely when wet, giving you that heavy, bulky, diaper
feeling between your legs. I am sold on this diaper and will
forever be a faithful customer of any company who will carry
this brand at an affordable price...Move over Molicare, there is
a new diaper in town!! Gordon
-
The good: very thick, very absorbent, white,
plastic outer covering. The bad: only two tapes, tapes do
not hold very well. I'm not sure if it's me just being
used to a 3 tape per side design or what, but I just can't get
as snug a fit with these diapers as I can with say an Attends.
Every single time I've put on the diaper as snugly as possible I
find that, over time, at least one of the tapes pulls off of the
rear portion of the diaper! Without fail! This
problem is solved with some packing tape, but I'm amazed that
there isn't more of the tape that comes pre-taped to the rear
portion of the diaper. All in all the diaper is not quite
as comfortable to actively wear around as an Attends....if only
Attends and Abena could get their heads together to make the
perfect diaper! Craig
-
Unbelievably thick diaper, poor construction, no
elastic waistband, which would make these diapers perfect. They
are the diaper which points mostly to the baby diaper that we
all seek. very absorbent, definitely the most absorbent I have
yet found, However difficult to get hold of. But i will
definitely be purchasing more of them. Keith
-
These
Diapers are on par with the more expensive Tena maxis, they are
thick and hold a good nights worth of abuse. They do tend
however to have weak straps but use plastic pants for support
and use one as a soaker inside then you have a fantastic white
reliable diaper. The cost of these over rule all other makes,
cheap not nasty and WHITE what more do we want . Chocysmarty@aol.com

[Abri-Wing]
These are a great diaper for the active diaper lover. They
easily unfasten for using the forbidden potty( if wearing a
diaper why not use it) to go poo or pee. Are easy to change in a
crowded restroom stall. Very little if any crinkle noise, dry or
wet. However they could be more adsorbent and thicker but in all
a very user friendly diaper. Lonny
-
Hey.. I got this diaper in a trial pack. and boy
what a diaper.. for those of you who like bulk this is a great
diaper.. The fit is not the best, i found the medium to small
and the large, left gaps between my legs.. which meant slight
leakage.. They hold over 600ml more liquid that the best Tena
brand, collecting a total of 3100 ml. they are a good bulky
diaper. but lack the security of Tena. one of these diapers with
a Abena x pad, will satisfy the wettest of people. with in
excess of 6200ml for the both.. great diaper shame about the
fit... Keith
-
Ugh. The new green bags contain a slightly
redesigned diaper from the older blue bags. Big mistake Abena.
Less padding, thinner, less capacity. They've removed padding to
the sides at the front. Now why would anyone do that to a
night-time diaper? They're hardly cheap either. Damn shame. Bob
-
After seeing the reviews for this diaper, I am
inclined to agree that this new version is sub-par with the
previous diaper. Especially since the diaper doesn't fit
quite right anymore, now that they removed all the padding.
Oh well, 'guess its back to Molicare for now. They at
least know what a diaper should feel like, though not what it
should look like. ReLDL
-
I just got my first package of Abriform and I
must say that they aren't that impressive. They aren't nearly as
thick as I was hoping for and already had a leak my first night
wearing them. For a diaper that promotes as a night time diaper
they are going to leak without more padding in the front. I
guess I'll be sticking with Molicare
-
According to websites these diapers are the most
absorbent out there. I put them through my own rigorous
testing. I'd had to say absorbency is wonderful but the
tapes are garbage. You can get the tapes to fasten but
they have a tendency of ripping off at the base of the tape.
They are white, which is wonderful and the plastic is soft.
And if you wear more than one they are super thick between your
legs and you can wear them for a day or two without fear of
leakage. These are one of the best diapers I have tried.
I give them an "B" overall. Or an 8 out of 10
rating. But make sure you have some duct tape and you will
be set with them. Tom
-
Wow. These are by far the best diapers
that I have ever used. They seem to hold more than
Molicare and the tapes hold a lot better than the Molicare.
I have worn these for 10-12 hours at a time without a leak.
They are very thick and feel great between your legs. The
only problem that I have found is that after several wettings,
these diapers won't take a flooding. They will take
countless little wettings, but flooding a wet one will leak. JB
-
I'm from the UK, they have seen there mistake
and have gone back to the blue bags design. I have used them for
the last 3.5 years with no problems mobile or in bed. Neil
-
When
possible, I wear pre-folded gauze diapers. When traveling, I
wear Abri-Form, X-Plus. For better protection when in bed, I
wear a pair of plastic pants over the diaper. I purchased my
last disposables from Drugstore.com. They provided excellent
service with my diapers arriving two to three days after I
placed the order. Anon
-
Wow, I am
sitting here typing this review in an unbelievably saturated
diaper from the good Danish folk at Abena. These are far and
away the most leak proof diapers I have worn. Absolutely love
the wide crotch to give that completely covered feeling. The
thickness, ... oh, the thickness. Anyone who has only worn
depends or equivalent, TRY these. The Refastenable tapes is a
good thing, but even so they need reinforcement (the tapes would
give way before the diaper leaked I Think) if you plan on
pushing this diaper to capacity. Got to go now, just soaked
through, time for a change. Nick
-
All I can say about the Abriform X Plus.... This is one heck of a diaper. 10 STARS!
Jimmy
-
WOW!!! Wow
Wow Wow! These are wicked awesome! Massive amount of bulk when
dry, and bulk up even more when wet! I'm already 12 hours in my
first one, and it's only at about half capacity!!! I started in
it overnight, and had the great big morning wet in it...doesn't
seem to have affected it much at all! A bit pricey, but WELL
worth it if you like a FAT diaper! Derrick
-
Abri-Form
X-Plus is by far the best diaper I have ever used. It's
amazingly thick, incredibly absorbent and great quality. It
takes effort to make this diaper leak! It's perfect for extended
wear (I often wear for 10-12 hours), traps odor and feels dry to
the skin when you're wet! Well worth the price, a case lasts a
long time. Eddie
-
It is ok but
I will recommend Molicare Super Plus The tapes don't hold good
but good for daytime use not really a night diaper because the
night I wore one to bed the tapes came undone they ripped from
the back end of the diaper If you don't have the Abri-Form
X-Plus Brand Diaper on good enough it will give you a diaper
rash ( EVEN LOOSE ) Sam
-
After wearing
cloth diapers for several years, I decided to try disposables. I
ordered samples of several brands to see which ones I'd prefer.
The Abri-form X Plus are by far my favorite of all I tried. They
were nearly twice as thick as the next thickest diaper and were
very comfortable. Duey
-
Wearing one
now! My experience has been with Eckerd brand, and depends
overnight. This kicks both in the balls by being extremely
thick. Holds more than you can drink. And, is very babyish....
:) Nothing but good reviews here. Logan
-
I just got a
pack of Abri-form X plus the other day and wow they are thick
and boy do they soak up a lot of pee. it feels nice for a overnight
diaper but if you are a active diaper lover that would wear the
diaper during the day the tapes will not hold up for the day.
But at night when less movement is done the tapes will hold up.
Also the diaper is quite quiet I give the diaper a 9 out of 10. Andrew
-
Living in
Canada, one is somewhat limited by choice of what diapers are
available. Most places either carry Attends, Attends 10 or
Depends Overnight or generic store brands. It took a lot of
effort to even find Tena Super Overnight. I've tried them all.
Recently I found a company in Quebec (B4NS) that carries Abena
Abri-Form X-Plus diapers imported from a US supplier. I've heard
about these diapers a while ago and how they compared to the Molicare
for absorbency. The Molicare while very absorbent have two
negatives.. they are purple and the tapes are terrible for
popping at the most inconvient times. When I compare the two
best absorbent diapers I've found, the Molicare's (very good)
and the Tena Super Overnights (excellent), I find the Abri-Form
X-Plus is even better. The X-Plus also has some other excellent
benefits, they have a white backing (like the Attends) and they
feel identical to the old style paper type Pampers. Secondly,
the 4 tapes hold very well even while fully soaked and finally
they fit far better than any other diaper that I've tried. These
are the most babyish, thickest, thirsty, most comfortable
diapers I've ever had the pleasure of wetting! Cubbie
-
Very nice diaper. Thick and holds a lot. Molicare
may be a little thicker. Either
way they are great. John
-
These are
really the best disposables I have ever worn. These are really
thirsty diapers, you can probably wear these for half a day,
including overnight, and still have no leaks. They are
wonderfully thick, and absorb a lot. Downside, the tapes are a
2-tape system and if you don't put them on right the first time,
they don't fit well. Also, the plastic tends to stretch after a
while and can feel loose, especially after sleeping in them. The
medium diapers fit me well, but, the large diapers are HUGE and
can probably fit a very large person. These are the largest
disposables I have seen. They can be expensive unless you can
get them on sale. Eric
-
Very
absorbent and quite comfortable. Big disadvantage is the tapes.
They tend to come undone and there is only 4. Pity they can't
get a better system for tapes such as on the Tena Maxi type.
They would also be better with elastic front and back. Worth
trying, however. alwayssoaked2004
-
This is the most absorbent diaper I have had, they swell up big time, the best diaper I have found.
Tim
-
This is a great diaper, it
has 2 pairs of refastenable (double) tapes on each side which
actually stay stuck even after leaving behind the first tape and
refastening. The outer cover is very strong and quiet. it does
have quite a bit of blue and yellow printing down the middle
which serves as a wetness indicator. It's very absorbent even
tho I like to wear the small instead of the medium. LDtheDL
-
These are
great diapers they are thick and comfy. and they hold a lot my
personal favorite right now I truly recommend these diapers. Tyler
-
My two
favorite night time diapers are the Molicare Super Plus and the
Abena Abri-Form X-Plus. The X-Plus holds slightly more than the
Molicare Super Plus and it is without a doubt one of the
thickest (if not the thickest) disposables out there (it's
definitely thicker than the Molicares). Padding in the front
extends nicely to the sides. I usually get about 4 to 5 full
wettings out of this diaper and can easily go for 12 to 14 hours
without a change. The downside... The tapes aren't as strong as
the Molicares and if you tape them too tight they will pull away
from the plastic. For a night time diaper I don't find this to
be a big problem as I'm not moving around but for this reason I
would not want to wear them as a daytime diaper. Your best be
there is the Molicare Super (thin, more discreet) or the
Molicare Super Plus. Silly Diapers

This is a great diaper. Never leaks and is very thick.

[Super]
I loved the Abena X-Plus and Abri-Wings so much that I decided
to try other diapers in their line. At the moment I'm wearing
the Abena Abri-Form Super. My favorite daytime diapers are
Molicare Supers. They fit well, are very thin and discreet and
hold A LOT considering how thing they are. I was hoping to find
an alternate source for the Molicare Supers. The Abena Supers
ALMOST fit the bill but they don't quite equal the Molicares but
it's definitely not for lack of performance. I've only wet 3 of
them so far and my initial feeling is that they perform as good
as, if not better than (a little more padding up front) the
Molicare Supers. The only reason I don't consider them an
alternative for the Molicare Supers is due to thickness. They
are just a little thicker than the Molicare Supers but not too
much thicker. These diapers will easily stand up to letting the
flood gates loose in both sitting and standing positions. This
is one of the best diapers I've worn in terms of fit. As you wet
them they tend to expand quite a bit, more than most diapers.
Leak guards do a great job of preventing leaks. I don't know if
they color code the other Supers but the ones I got (which are
large) were green. Color wise they remind me of the old Depend
Overnights. My favorites are still Abena Abri-Form X-Plus for
night wettings, and Molicare Supers for day wettings and going
out in public but the Abena Supers are still excellent and I'd
definitely buy them again. SillyD
-
Excellent
diaper. Nice, thick and thirsty too. Great for overnight. I like
the white color but not the "Medium X Plus" writing on
the diaper. Re-fastenable tapes are real quality. I recommend
these to all. Paul
-
These diapers
are AMAZING! I ordered some along with a body stocking and mesh
pants that Abena also make, and oh my god! I feel so baby-like!
The diapers themselves are fairly thick (though not incredibly
so), and they're really thirsty - the first diaper I've found
that can keep up with my wetting! The tapes seem strong enough,
and I really like the slightly rubbery feel to the plastic (I
don't think the plastic is too thin as someone else said). The
combination of the diaper and the bodystocking is just out of
this world - the diaper is held perfectly snugly against your
body so you don't feel like you have to keep re-adjusting it! In
case you're interested, I bought the diaper, bodystocking and
pants from Beaucare Medical ( http://www.beaucaremedical.co.uk/
) who were great - really quick and discreet. I'm in heaven! Tiny
-
These are
great diapers especially for night time use as they hold lots -
certainly the best I've found. They're a bit bulky for day time
use, but it depends what you like. They last a long time between
changes so if Mummy or Daddy don't want to change you for a
while these are the ones. I always use any disposable with
plastic pants and these are best that way. The only drawback is
when they are taken off wet the filling often falls out so you
have to be careful it doesn't go everywhere - a small price to
pay for such a good diaper. Ian
-
I prefer a
cloth nappy to disposable as a general rule, but these nappies
are excellent. They absorb a good number of wettings and even
sleeping after a couple of good wettings, they didn't leak. I
love cloth, but these are my back-ups. Stu
-
I've tried
Molicare and found the sides uncomfortable, and they leak
easily! I then tried Attends, 9 & 10 and although much more
comfortable, they also leaked! Now, having tried Abena x-plus I
find them more comfortable and absorbent than Molicare and
Attends put together! There are one or two other brands I might
try but I daresay I will always come back to my first love -
Abena x-plus! Toddler_j
-
I've tried
Attends, Depends, and the Walgreen's store brand, but Abri-Form
X-plus is hands down the best diaper I've ever worn. I ordered
these, plus a package of the Abri-Let Maxi diaper doublers (and
I highly recommend the combination) from XP Medical. They are
extremely thick between the legs, making me waddle when I walk;
a nice, babyish white; and they hold SO MUCH pee-pee!! Being a
baby boy, I wet the front of my diaper, and I love the way these
will wick the wetness back so baby can have a nice wet bottom. I
like to really soak my diaper, so I always wear plastic pants
over disposables, in case of any leaks. The very first time I
used the X-plus + Maxi combination, I was blown away at changing
time when the inside of my plastic pants was completely dry --
first time I ever met a diaper I couldn't make leak. Another
feature I love about these, that I haven't seen anyone else
mention, is that the wetness indicator turns very dark when baby
is wet. It's very obvious, and makes it even more humiliating
that I cant hide the fact that I'm wet from my daddy.
The only negative I've found, is that, like a lot of other
reviewers, I have found that the tapes don't hold very well.
However, that is easily fixed by over-taping with some clear
packing tape.
These are probably the most expensive diaper I've worn, but I
find them more than worth the money. Puddles
-
Wow! I got a
couple samples of these awhile ago and tried one of them right
away. I loved the thickness and I've heard lots about their
legendary absorbency, but I never really put them to the test
until today.
I had a day off work and the house to myself, so I pulled out
the other X-Plus I'd been saving for a day like this, loaded up
with lots of water, and let loose all morning. By the time these
things leaked they must have weighed five pounds! Honestly, if I
wore them out of the house I'd have change them just because of
the bulk before I worried about a leak. It looked like I was
smuggling groceries in my pants!
I thought the tapes were fine, but forget about adjusting them.
Where they stick is where they stay. I also wish they had six
tapes instead of four. Come on, Abena, if Depend can do it, you
can too.

I have tried Abri
form x plus they are great, and they are thick soft and are a
great fit, now for the down side the tapes are useless I have
tried many many times and they always break away from the back, I
still cannot believe that the manufacturer has not addressed
this problem, the other thing is why do they put the blue
writing all over the diaper if there product is so good why do
you need to print it everywhere ? if only there was a real thick
white plain diaper I know some will say attend are plain and
white true but not thick enough. so I stick to Molicare.
Peter
-
Abena makes
great diapers. The Abri-form Super is just slightly thinner than
the Extra but I found them to be just as thirsty. The tapes hold
quite well and you can re-fasten them if you need to because of
the dual tape setup that is prevalent on a lot of European
diapers today. The large size is green, which is a drawback, but
overall a good diaper. Drynot
-
A very thick,
thirsty, comfortable diaper. I loved it. The only problem that I
found was that the liner sheet separated from the filling, and
the backsheet upon trying to change. That made for one heck of a
mess. It was very thick, I really enjoyed that part, If it wasn't
for the separation, I would definitely buy them again. Diapereddave
-
I recently
purchased these from xpmedical (a great company), and they
surpassed my wildest dreams. They are incredibly absorbent. They
can take a dam-breaking flood sitting, standing, and even laying
down. If I hadn't drunk a lot to purposely wet a lot, three
could have lasted all day without a risk of a leak. They are
amazingly thick. Great. Kevin
-
I have been
using these nappies now for a while and they have become my
preferred choice. There have been a few hits and misses over the
year I have been buying them. It seems that they are making
constant changes to the product which is a good thing, but there
have been a few shockers as well. On some that I have tried the
tapes have been a disgrace, literally tearing at the tape seam
and ruining the tape. It was a real design floor with the
product, I complained to Abena and the last 3 cartons I have
purchased have been great, it seems that this is a thing of the
past. The old ones were also too narrow around the seat making
for easy leaks. No problems with the tapes these days and a nice
yellow wetness indicator and a fuller seat. There is an elastic
waist band that makes it easy to get a good fit. But my very
favorite part of the nappy is the fact that the padding is very
high at the front. Unlike many other diapers these will not leak
out over the top. Being a boy bedwetter this design feature
works very well.
On the plus side, Abena seem very committed to regularly
improving their products and they do take the feedback seriously
unlike some other manufacturers that will persist with design
flaws for a long time. As long as they remain as good as they
are now, I would recommend these nappies as the best available
on the market. Though buyers should be careful about buying old
stock. Look for a date on the pack of after January 2005, avoid
any made in 2004. Nappied Dan
-
I've just got
my second pack of Abri-Form X-Plus diapers, and they're very
different to the first lot I got 6 months ago. They're still a
good, comfortable fit, but a fair bit thinner/lighter so you
don't feel quite so well padded, and the waterproof layer is
more crinkly and doesn't feel as plasticy :-( Amazingly they
seem to be even more absorbent than before... because they've discovered
some incredible substance that literarily seems to make wetness
disappear - I hardly know that I'm wearing a diaper no matter
how wet it is. This is a really incredible improvement for
people who are genuinely incontinent but terrible for us adult
babies that like to feel how babyish we are ;-). Bring back the
old X-Plus!!! Tiny
-
I have used
everything from a pharmacy private label disposables to Depends
and Attends products, and then to Molicare Super Plus diapers.
Nothing compares to the Abri-Form X-Plus. I can wet repeatedly
all night or for many hours and nothing leaks through. They are
so thick and fluffy that they feel great on as well. I also
occasionally poo in them and use laxatives and enemas to
increase volume and liquidity. They hold up fine to that too.
Last summer I sat on my back patio (very private) surfing the
net on my laptop and pooing out an entire bottle of Castor Oil.
I was out there for nearly 6 hours with only one diaper change.
After about three hours, the first Abri-Form X-Plus was so
filled with poo and pee that it started to ooze out of the
waistband and souil my patio chair. After about two more hours,
the second Abri-Form X-Plus had to come off, it would have held
more, but I had to stop when I developed a very painful rash.
After an equally painful shower and cleaning I was back in
another Abri-Form X-Plus. They are THE BEST! baby henrieta
-
By far the
best diaper i have tried. my only gripe is that the waistband
has no elastic, well, at least not the full elastic that the
depend maximum protection has. oh well, can't have everything we
want in life now can we :-) Jake
-
I Love theses
diapers! The best I've ever worn! They hold a lot of pee and are
nice and thick!!! The tapes hold really good and I would highly recommend
these diapers!! Jeffy D
