Yes they ship fast and I signed up paid for the membership which gives 10% off plus free Shipping for a year

Haven't had a chance to use them... they do not seems any thicker than belissimo. Only concern I have is leaking around the legs. I'll post a not so flattering pic lol. You'll see the gap between plastic. It was at an aqward angle too. Seem comfortable so far. Reminds me of Huggies supreme before they went cloth. Plastic part very smooth and quiet.... inside is amazingly soft. I'll post more later. Couldn't get pic to upload will try later.

These are finally available for preorder. They look pretty cool. The hybrid elastics remind me of the stretch system on Huggies right before they went cloth backed. I'm going to try them. If worked as advertised, they might be a pretty good fitting diaper. Hopefully they won't sag though. Kinda pricey at $130 for a case of 40. That part... yikes!

I think the new version of betterdry/crinklz is equivalent to abena.

If it's been a while since you ordered... yeah they got a bit bigger in the medium apparently. The large and xl stayed the same. The new tape style on the large works great. I've ordered 2 batches of the xl. Both have worked very very well. I hope they stick with the new tapes. They're great! Lol.

I ordered these when they first were re-released and hated how the wicked. They wicked almost too slow to where the pee would almost run off down the sides. Did they fix the wicking issue then? Almost like they were too stiff or too much sap.

They work much much better. Overall... I think they're as absorbent as they've always been... more sap though. I'm not for sure if the plastic is as thick. I thought I had a dreaded pin hole leak... I'll make sure before I say that 100%. Tapes... so far... vastly improved

Here's new tapes vs old tapes. Bigger tapes are new xl... other is larges ordered a few months ago.

Ordered xl size monday. Received them today. Haven't tested them out... but the sizing is what it was before. One big difference so far... the tapes are about 2x the size they were. This really helps and is nice. I'll post more on the rest later.

i asked this question directly to bambino a few weeks ago.... they replied saying the end of this month. We shall see. They were supposed to be back in stock like September or October.... but abruptly that changed. I hope they get them back in stock too... the last batch of XL product was terrible in terms of quality. Luckily I have lost some lbs... so I can fit into larges but would love XL's....

I'm not a hater but I too have been waiting on a big order since May of this year. Yes I have contacted them, was supposed to have the order by Labor day I think. I have yet to get an email response from them this month. It burns my a$$ too that they are having a 40% off sale... I'm about to flipping go off!!!!!! Give me a REFUND! I like what they're trying to do, but GOOD GRIEF! Bad customer service is an understatement. It's preselling product because they don't have the $$$$$$ available to get the stuff shipped. At least they don't have the XL size listed for purchase any longer. That's a start I suppose.

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.

seemed about the same on the waistband.... worked well... since the xl had the waistband omitted the last couple times, I don't know what it was like... lol. I can't remember. Anyhow... the waistband and leg gatherers seemed very good.

I received my order of samples size large. I ordered a sample of each diaper. So far the belissimo absorbs more than the teddy... which its supposed to. As far as the sizing... for the larges it's the same as far as I can tell. The main difference is the interior padding. It doesn't have that channel area any longer. The inside is super soft. The plastic seems smooth and strong. No pinhole leaks. The tapes seem good to me so far. The fit for me seems the same and fit me well. Now for overall absorption. .. so far I'm very impressed. The last batch wasn't very good at all. These things really absorb great. They're keeping me dry... not clumping or falling down. They absorb quickly. .. and don't seem to be getting that real squishy feeling like sap gel gets. So far I think they're improved. I can't wait till I can try the xl sizes. The larges fit me good... the xl should be great for us taller bigger people.

the thing that aggravates me is that they keep putting Large and XL sizes now ready to ship July 4th. That's not true at all. Via an email response, they will not ship out till mid to late next month! Why put they're ready to ship when in reality they're not. It makes no sense. Very bummed out. It's got to be border line criminal too. I don't know. Doesn't make much sense to me.

theyre on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-SMURFS-2-pink-2-blue-awwsocute-2-dry247-adult-baby-diapers-8-total-medium/221491102493?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D21248%26meid%3D8342661057440382312%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D9374%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D141303132606&rt=nc

I placed an order memorial day weekend .... xl size... said they'd ship out the fourth... still nothing period. Its very frustrating. I try to be patient... with all the specialty companies but geez. Bambino, awwsocute... all of them have really been in the pooper the past year. I'm not overly impressed with dry 247. There are things that I like, but this all sap mat is terrible IMO. It takes 5 years to absorb... and I don't think they're all that great. Oh well.

This link is from another site... hopefully they don't mind....

I ordered a sample... we shall see. The checkout process was horrible and the site was mega slow. We shall see.

TOO MUCH SAP!! I do not fully understand why companies insist on going with more and more sap without any of the other stuff (wood fiber, cotton, whatever) in there. I mean I get it, more absorption less bulk. At what cost? They get extremely mushy, and yes, they clump badly. The plastic seems almost identical to that of attends, very thin and very soft. Overall, they're ok, not fantastic. I understand it's a work in progress and I respect that. As of right now, I doubt I'll order more until a few improvements are made.

Here's my thoughts... for what they're worth. First in regards to the email previously posted, Bambino clearly stated "Regarding the padding, the core was reduced by 1" while the plastic was increased by 2". However the weight of the core and the core spec has not changed." So, yes they definitely rearranged the core, reducing the length by 1/2" at each end while lengthening the diaper 1" at each end theoretically. If the core is the same weight, yes the sap and other contents would have to be displaced somewhere. Obviously in the above email, they aren't very specific on where it was displaced to. I'm unfortunately not small enough to have ever ordered mediums, but I did try the larges via a sample pack. I usually get XL but I wanted to try the larges since the new style isn't available in XL (I'll talk about that in a bit). The lining on the newest variety reminds me of the lining in the aww so cute diapers. It's not that micro-pore lining or whatever they called it. It really doesn't feel a ton softer to me personally, but maybe a little bit. For me, it felt more dry as it got used. As far as the tape placement, I cannot comment. It has been literally 2 years since I tried the Large size. I was ok with the tape placement on the larges and with the length change, if they changed it. The sizing reminded me of the large size that was available for the Eurobrief when it was still available. I like the XL size because it comes up higher, so if I am in the mood for that, it's nice. The new size large is more form fitting and discrete for me, so if I desire that it's available. Hope that makes sense. The only thing I'm concerned with, I had the lower tapes pop off of one sample but not the other. They didn't break, just came undone. Now, being my first rodeo with this size, I'll have to figure out the placement. I ordered a case, so I'll be able to comment more when I get them. The plastic seemed ok. It wasn't rough like some have been in the past and seemed durable.

they arent thick at all imo. They are about half as thick as bambino. They definitely run a bit small I think. The XL has the big gap of no padding at the top, I dislike that. The larges do not, but for me the large is a strange fit... for me... compared to bambino. I don't think they're as loud as other diapers though. The plastic is odd for me. I prefer smooth plastic, but the plastic has a texture to it. At first it seemed like it was almost cross between not quite plastic, not quite cloth. I don't know, just feels weird for me. To each their own on this though. I just ordered samples, not sure I will order any though. However, NO PIN HOLE LEAKS! As a typical problem previously, I haven't had any of those.

Haven't ordered them off amazon. As far as the current production teddy's go... I think they are about as absorbent as the rest. One thing bambino has not done, is update their information page on the different diapers they offer. When the teddy first came out a few years ago, it was a bit more absorbent than the rest and had a different tape design. During the last production changes (the current diaper style) I have tried every single diaper style they make, and the only one IMO that is more absorbent is the bellissimo.

No waistband on my order either. A bit bummed because I like the waistband but very glad too see the plastic seems more smooth than ever! Very nice! I was a bit concerned it might be a bit rough like on the secure x-plus I got a few months back.

Nooooooo..... i haven't received my order yet... I'll post when I do.. likely tomorrow. I hope they do have the waistband. Dang... they've been OOS for almost a year... to come out defective.. man i hope not!
