Assurance Brand Diaper Reviews

[Go Back]

The Reviews:

  • They seem very absorbent but there smallest size (small/medium) is larger than I am. I don't mind the cloth like cover (doesn't chafe). But I am a 31-32" waist in there smallest is for 34-46". Baby-B

  • If you like depends overnight, you will like this one better. has more padding up the back. much softer waist bands, and more absorbent. also a lot cheaper found at wal mart. Paul

  • have tried many adult diapers and this one to me is the best.  A+ because it's thick, it snugs between my legs and makes a lot of noise and because it can be bulky epically when wearing daisy dukes or shortalls. Average cost under $10.00 for S-M-L; I use large and I can get 18 count per bag. Baby Raymond

  • For the low price of these diapers you can't go wrong. I find them to be a LOT more absorbent than Depends, they fit better. They are snug, comfortable and they have the "baby" feel and noise. I like them. If I had to rate them I would give them a 10 for sure Tony

  • I find the 1 wide fastener on each side wonderfully baby like.  I really enjoyed being fastened into it.  I made me feel like a real baby.  The cloth like cover is great quiet and great for day time use. After wetting, change fast, the outer cover did tend to leak through.  They are very thin, enough for only one wetting.  I will use as a daytime diaper, I would love to see a thicker, plastic backed diaper from assurance with the one wide fastener on each side. BILLY

  • These were the first adult diapers I tried and they are pretty good. They are nice and thick and absorb quite well for a store brand. The outer cover is plastic (the way diapers should be) and may be too noisy for some . The tapes stay put but often tear through the plastic when removed. Jon

  • Assurance Overnights have a thin plastic outer covering and waist gathers that are exceptionally soft.  These diapers are very comfortable and babyish.  Despite the absence of much polymer, the do absorb quite well.  The padding does not tolerate much activity before breaking apart and disintegrating, nor does the plastic outer perform well under daytime use - prone to pinhole leaks.  3 tapes per side allow retaping.  Overall, if your going to use them with a stuffer for overnight, these can't be beat at the price. Dave

  • These are NOT very good. They are loud and plastic backing is not soft, don't hold much, even with one booster pad. The tapes hold good for one time use. The medium is tight however I have a 42" waist, so they chaff around the legs. I went to a large, which didn't seem to hold any more. They were cheap however I would rather have gone with Walgreen overnights.

  • Nice diaper.  Very comfy around the butt.  I definitely like them better than depends. Can hold a number of wettings when doubled up. They are the closest things to real baby diapers I've worn. Jack

  • I have tried a number of generic/store brand diapers, and the Assurance Overnight (Wal-Mart's store brand) is currently my favorite.  Most generics are made by Kendall and share many of the same characteristics, but these get more of them right.  The Overnights use 3 tapes per side, a white plastic cover, front and back stretch waistbands, leak guards, a wetness indicator, and exceptionally wide plastic leg gathers.  I used to buy Depends Overnights, but K-C apparently redesigned them at some point, and flooding began making damp pants.  The Assurance Overnights have no such trouble, and I think the leg gathers also help keep them snug.  Another plus is that a pack of 20 mediums costs under $9 !  The downsides are also typical Kendall: the padding definitely breaks-up under stress, the stretch waistband isn't very useful, and they could still certainly be more absorbent.  With an extra soaker, they work great at night and still cost less than name brands!

  • Cheaper than Depend and also available from the local Wal-Mart, but not quite as comfortable and the wetness indicator reacts to sweat. Also, not quite as well-put together. I'd recommend them for people just getting into diapers or on a tight budget, but would say that Depend Overnight are better for those who can afford them. Fred

  • After reading the other positive reviews for these diapers on this site, I decided to give them a try. I was really disappointed. They make a pretty good noise but they're too thin and they leaked at the very first wetting. Also, although they had three tapes the still didn't fit very comfortably, like they were the wings on the sides were the wrong shape or something. I guess the price was right at least. Brian

  • I usually buy Attends, but decided to give these diapers a try. I like them very much, and you can't beat the price! they have a soft white plastic cover that sound very baby like. they have 3 tapes which is very good, and they fit real nice. They hold about 1 pee, not much more. and the tapes didn't stick so good. Overall, they are a great diaper for the price! Jeffy

  • I like to wear pull ups when I go out I saw these at Wal-Mart and decided to try them boy did I make a mistake. They are very small offer almost no padding in fact they offer as much protection as a light day pad so I took em back. Fred

  • [Overnight] Extremely absorbent, wore them all night and all day never leaked once. Stephen

  • A very good diaper nice fit and good sound. I have also worn these to bed hold a lot of urine with salk rubber pants worn over them. Mark

  • [Overnight] Not a bad diaper for the price ($9 for a 20 pack). Had a few nighttime leaks, so I don't like to wear them at night. Pretty absorbent, but nothing holds enough for me, so I usually stack several of them on. The outer plastic is very durable, and I've never had a problem with the tapes (6 tapes). Trav

  • I love these diapers because there cheaper and better made then most diaper the only better diaper is tranquility. I'm using my last Tena and I will never never use Tena again. I'm switching back to my Assurance diaper this weekend. The reason for the switch is I can not find Tranquility diapers in Warren PA. Jessejm

  • [Overnight] I'm not sure what everyone else saw in these but other than the price, I did not like anything about them. They did not hold much and leaked almost instantly. DLJay

  • [Overnight] Overall I liked the diaper but it didn't seem to hold a full bladder, and I had some troubles with the tapes not staying attached. I started using depends boost with them, and now they can hold about 3 huge wettings with just one boost in. However the tapes still leave something to be desired. Josh

  • Very good diaper. just tried them for the first time and I love them. they are thicker than Depends and look and feel like real baby diapers. I believe these are the closest thing to baby diapers for adults. they are very absorbent. the best diaper I have ever worn. Brandon

  • I'm currently using the new version of assurance from Wal-mart. They are a diaper that is now for day and night, just like the maximum absorbent depends. I love this new incarnation, they feel thicker, and softer that ever before, and they hold about 2 good wettings. they still use the 6 tape system but now the tapes hold better. I would recommend these to anyone plus their cheap (only 8.96 a pack). Gilbert

  • The Assurance Overnight (Wal-Mart's store brand) is currently my favorite. VERY COMFORTABLE!!! they don't leak!! Loved them GO WAL-MART Diapers!!!! lol:) Chance

  • Good diaper, overall, but not great. I am in the overnight one right now, and it is too thin. I like the crinkle on the covering, and the fact that it has three tapes. Although there are three tapes, they are of very poor quality. I tried to refasten one and it would not hold at all, very cheap. It is good if you need them on a dime, but i give it a 6/10 overall because of the tapes. Mike

  • [Overnight] I generally wear Depend overnights, but thought I would try the Assurance. A mistake. The tapes don't hold well, and they don fit as well as the Depend. Jen

  • Granted buying wal-mart diapers may sound like your being cheap but when you live on a fixed budget, there's none I found are better. One trick I've learned is to cut the middle out of a cloth diaper (baby) and place it in the assurance, you can wet all night long and never leak. Assurance, a cheap diaper that feels as real as it can. Tom

  • Better than depends and good with two or more diapers doubled up. Tyler

  • [Overnight] I have found that the Overnight Assurance brand diapers work really well and hold multiple wettings. The tree tabs are fairly strong on first time use. They fit and feel like a diaper should and they seem to be relatively inexpensive at Wal Mart. Baby DW

  • I have been buying these for a few weeks now and they aren't to bad. the price is right and they absorb quite a bit. I have wet in them several times and leakage is not bad. I wish you could buy them online. Michele

  • The Assurance brand is a good diaper, however it has it's faults. The tapes are not really sticky and on occasion have "poped" loose letting the diaper fall to the floor. As the absorbency goes these hold a lot. The urine goes through the padding which turns into a gel "wicking" away moisture.

    If you new to wearing diapers and need ones and a decent price these are the ones. They can be bough at any
    Wal-Mart store for around $9.00 a bag. Tommie

  • I disagree with a few of the reviews here. Some people are saying that these diapers are thick. The Abena X-Plus is a thick diaper. The Molicare Super Plus is a thick diaper. This Wal-Mart diaper is most certainly not a thick diaper. It's not even as thick as an Attends which isn't even thick when compared to the previous mentioned diapers. On my very first wetting this diaper leaked. It appears to be manufactured by Kendall. It has leak guards which is good but if they can't stop leaks because the diaper can't hold much they're not very useful. They're cheap, I'll give 'em that much. Under $9.00 for a bag of 18 large diapers. Compare that to a bag of Molicare Super Plus (large) which is $30 for 14 diapers. I can get 4 to 5 full wettings out of a Molicare Super Plus (and the Abena X-Plus holds even more). I can't even get one good wetting out of the Assurance. For the sake of argument let's be conservative and say I can only get 4 wettings with the Molicare and let's be generous with the Assurance and say I can get one wetting with it. That's 56 wettings with the Molicares and only 18 wettings with the Assurance. If you compare price per wetting the Assurance would come out slightly ahead of the Molicares for the same amount of wettings at $28 per wetting but I'd rather sleep through the night than change my diaper a few times. I often have to get up once or twice at night to pee and if I can just go in my diaper and not have to worry about changing, I get a better nights sleep. YMMV of course. The Abena X-Plus costs less than the Molicares (about 17.99 for 12), and holds about 5+ wettings. At that rate the Abena definitely come out ahead of the Assurance brand in terms of cost. SillyD

  • Not Bad. It's Ok, I Agree with the priced. This actually was my first diaper. I like the color white more of a babyish color like. The crinkle sound, comfortable, The six sided tapes ( good at first use), but the absorbency is not that great so I had to devise something. Put this diaper to use. And wearing only one diaper (for me) now is not good enough as I like to wear two diapers together. I love that bulky feeling, and with two diapers? It really does fit snugly. And looking in the mirror It looks great knowing now I'm really protected. Tip: take one diaper, flip it over so the plastic outing is on the out side. Take a knife and cut holes about 1" right down the middle about 3" apart. So it looks like this - - - - . Then right next to it do the same thing, then do the other side. So you get three cut holes front to bottom. Put or have your diaper put on. Then put another diaper on over it. Double protection. Works really GREAT! So when you wet yourself. Urine will goes through the first to the second instantly and can actually go two or more times in one night. Starts with the groin area, than between legs, finally the butt area. Saturates more. By this time it's morning and your soaked. Time for your diaper change. oh here she comes. And if you still leak? try increments. Diaper inserts on the both sides of waist. Now your DIAPERED! If you hate to un- tape it to have it off? Just pull it off like pull-ups w/o un-taping. It works. Just use enough baby powder when re-applying the diaper. Have fun. EARL.

  • I liked the price, although I thought it was a little thin. didn't like the tapes, they didn't hold as tight or as well as attends do. I do think assurance makes a great diaper double or stuffer. I probably would buy them for that reason, or to use for when I wanted to be discreet with a thin diaper and use extra tape to keep them fastened securely. Baby Lee

  • these diapers are OK. In my experience I have had them leak the first time I wet! not thick enough for me either but with depends absorbers they will hold a good amount of urine. Good for the price 18 for about 10 bucks but I still would rather have Walgreen's brand more in a package for less money. luv2bdiaperd23

  • They changed assurance ,their like Depend now. a very good diaper fits snug I wear 3 meds. to cut down noise. I get a better fit and I can wet myself twice as long . I like to wet my bed at night . 3 assurance is like 1 attend and 1/2 the price. TL

  • I buy these for my mother, who is a fairly large Woman. They come in a size XL, which fits up to hip size 64" (or 66?) whereas Depends brand XL was too tight for her. They have a new super absorbency which seems to do well, and for the price difference (we save about $3 per pack over Depends) they are well worth it. Kristi Davis

  • Heard some other diaper wearers talk about how good these were from another message board, so I decided to try a package. I needed more diapers anyway, so I went ahead and bought them. They look really good once they're put on, but I noticed a big difference after I wet the diaper. Instead of pulling the wetness into the diaper's core, my skin stayed wet for a while. Absorption rate is slow. I kept the same diaper on and took a nap. When I woke up, I wet again and I could tell by feeling the front of the diaper that it wasn't going to hold anymore. The core doesn't distribute wetness like it should, but everything stayed in the front. After sleeping for 2 hours on my back, all of the pee was still in the front of the diaper, it had not distributed to the butt of the diaper like other brands. Nice diaper for fun time, but I think I'll stick with Depend. Jason

  • I had recently purchased these diapers from wal mart. When I got home i put one on, and I have to say that I do not like them at all. I had a light/moderate wetting in one that day and it leaked real bad. I have to change them after a slight wetting or they will leak. I prefer depends better. Stephen
