Hi folks, I'm new to the forum. I can't really say I miss the micropore because I still have some. My first diaper years back was the Depends, then I discovered the Attends at a drug store near me. Without powder they do stick to the skin pretty bad. When the choice at the store was Depends or the Attends, the Attends were so much better. They have a nice smooth plastic backing. Capacity was pretty low and they leaked easily. Eventually I was able to get the 6 tape Attends with the waistband. I still like them for nostalgia sake.
