The Reviews:
- On occasion I get to go to
Asia for business. I've seen Dr. P's diapers there many times,
but I haven't ever bought them before. This time I wanted to
give them a shot.
If you're a regular here, you've seen them in the Photo Gallery.
They're white diapers with a tape landing zone with purple and
yellow hearts on them. I'm a DL, not an AB, so the babyish print
on them doesn't do much for me, but they're an interesting
change of pace, made more alluring by their unavailability here
in the States.
Honestly I wasn't expecting much from them, given their price,
but everything is cheaper over there.
SMELL
When you open the bag, there is no dominant smell--they don't
smell like much of anything. I suspect that means they don't
really have any sort of active odor control that helps mask the
smell of urine.
APPEARANCE
As soon as you open them up, you realize that they're not like
other diapers you have used. They have a series of ovals stamped
into the lining that they claim helps channel liquid until it
can be absorbed.
There are no leak guards or anything fancy, but they have a wide
crotch, about as wide as my beloved Attends, so they're pretty
reliable.
FIT
The fit on Dr. P's is excellent. I like a diaper with a full
cut, that is something that comes up higher in the front and
back for a more enveloping fit. These come up pretty high and
fit really well.
The tape landing zone works really well to give the four tapes
something to hold on to, and you can readjust them anytime you
wish without tearing the plastic backing. Nice touch.
They're thick, but not too thick. They'll never be mistaken for
Abena X-Plus or Molicare Super Plus, that's for sure. But that's
fine with me, as I like a more discreet diaper that I can be
seen in, but not busted in.
APPEARANCE
I would imagine that ABs would go crazy for this diaper, what
with the hearts and all. The only other diaper I know of that
would compete on sheer babyishness would be the Secure Plus,
which I hear is good but have never tried.
PERFORMANCE
At first I thought these wouldn't have much by way of that
all-important gel that locks in the wetness, but they do a
really good job. Unlike Depends, which seem to have nothing but
gel that turns you into a walking bowl of Jello, these have a
nice balance of regular fluff for wicking and gel to lock the
pee in. Nice.
Oh, and one more thing. Over there they're called Adult Diapers,
not slips, nappies, briefs, or any other pseudonyms. They're
diapers for adults and that's what's on the package.
Okay, that's my international review. What about you? Have you
tried diapers not available in most places here in the West?
(I.e., US/UK.) I'd love to hear more from you!

- Not the most absorbent
diaper on the market, but fun and babyish with the heart panel
and a very crinkly white plastic backing. Mike
