  1. Yes, once the design is solid, we will add colors. USA version is on sale right now as it was the first run and we're making room for the new and improved versions. M and L should arrive in February. Other sizes a few months after that.
  2. Just know that the USA ones are not as rugged on the outside as China ones yet. The plastic could tear with a lot of activity. We're working on improvements for next production batch as quick as we can.
  3. Please call back and ask for samples. The padding is about an inch wider in the crotch in most sizes. I'll make sure the rest of the CS team is aware. Sorry about the confusion.
  4. Try the MegaMax USA and Lite USA which have about 1 inch wider crotch than the China versions.
  5. They are printed on white backing (instead of clear) so they show up well over almost any diaper.
  6. It's likely we do a little of both, continue to add other brands on top of Crinklz and Forsite as well as launch some new concepts under our own brand. Thanks for your patience.
  7. Brian, Thanks for all the great feedback. If we expand the USA MegaMax after further improvements, our hope is that we can keep the Chinese original versions available too unless almost all customers switch over to USA version. As you mentioned, after the election, there is a very significant chance that tariffs from China will be greatly increased. This is one big reason we are working as fast as possible to offer a USA alternative. Even if not exactly the same as the China versions, it will be pretty darn close, and for some it will be a little better. For some, it will be a little worse. Any change in sizing, even just quarter of inch in any direction means it will fit better for some and worse for others. Regarding ABDL diapers, there are so many different prints and styles needed to serve the ABDL community. I would say that we will likely start with some varieties that try to be different than what many others already make. Just because we may cater to one segment, doesn't mean that we are taking sides or anything else other than making a business decision on trying to prioritize areas that have the biggest unmet need over ones that are already saturated. We'll keep expanding to many other types of ABDL diapers as soon as we can. Sincerely, Adam
  8. Great feedback! Sharing with whole team here at NorthShore. Overall, we're already in very good alignment with your suggestions. 1. 2XL and 3XL MegaMax are being tested right now on real users with new non-stretchy side panels and the same strong adhesive tapes and front panel of rest of original MegaMax. No more velcro on 2XL if all goes well. 2. Just finished testing of prototypes of new more absorbent GoSupreme pullups. Feedback is very positive. We found a way to add more absorbency to pullups without greatly increasing sagging. Working with factory on how quickly we can get machine upgraded to make our new design at full speed. Won't be fast enough for us. Takes time to get new custom parts delivered, installed, and tested and is very tricky to get just right on machines that make up to 400 diapers per minute! Thanks again! Adam
  9. Yes, we tried stretchy wings on our 2XL MegaMax and we get an endless supply of complaints asking us to remove them due to sagging. We are working on it.
  10. Stretchy wings is not our thing, unfortunately. The elasticity caused the diaper to sag way too quickly for our high absorbency focus. We do hope to add more colors and prints to MegaMax family, possibly in 2025.
  11. Thanks very much for your feedback! We agree the Supreme are awesome and the undisputed champ at wicking front to back. We have no current plans to phase them out anytime soon. However, you can see that this thread was started over 10 years ago (HBD Supreme!) and the number of people buying them has reduced steadily with the launch of so many other plastic-backed briefs, including MegaMax. I would consider Supreme/AirSupreme to be senior citizens now, in their diaper life cycle. We hope nothing happens to them but need to be prepared that their best years are behind them. We'll keep you posted if Supreme starts investigating retirement homes. 8-)
  12. Brian, Thanks very much for your support. It certainly is a historically difficult time for all brands and manufacturers now with supply chain disruption like never seen before. Making a "perfect" diaper is likely never possible, but especially now...so let's not let perfect be the enemy of really good diapers. NorthShore is trying very hard, sparing no expense to make sure we have adequate supply of our products during these difficult times. Sincerely, Adam
  13. Biden administration has not changed any policies from Trump era regarding trade or tariffs with China. We still have tariffs from China on diapers and other products. Biden administration did agree to moratorium on trade war with Europe this month...which didn't affect diapers, but is a step in the right direction. However, there are no indications that any moratorium or change to tariff policy with China is imminent, unfortunately.
  14. May be best to try a booster pad across the front of the diaper for extra protection at night.
  15. The MegaMax have not been changed again. The difference noted was just a slight manufacturing variation in the outer plastic texture. We have had no other complaints about the current batch of white MegaMax.
