Hi there

Cool your interested in making a diaper!

sorry that was sooo long winded I work Business analysis and do this stuff everyday for a living 

Thank you for all this information.  I have started putting together my business plan and until I can manufacture here locally an overseas supplier is ideal.  There are a few suppliers that do not require the 40ft container minimum but we shall see if that holds true after negotiations.  I was surprised to see a number of manufacturers with nearly identical diaper designs to some of my favorites Bambino and ABU replicas were surprisingly easy to find.

Personally I like plastic back diapers, and I side with the double tape design but think there is room for improvement with the placement of a single tape system for adults.  As far as designs my background is in art and I'm dying to design prints that will add value to the already diverse AB/DL community.  There are so many things to consider and challenges to encounter, I am really looking for to the challenge of making this possible.  Thank you all for your comments thus far!

When I think of disposable diapers for the AB/DL community, only a handful of companies come to mind.  Bambino, Rearz, ABU, Carousel Dotty did I miss anyone?  There are also medical grade diapers that are within most of our wardrobes; Abri-Form, Attends, Depends, Molicare, Tena, Dry-24/7 to name a few.

Out of all of these options what is missing from these options and what do you absolutely love that they provide?

Think about the question for a moment before answering, and try to consider what draws you to a particular brand or style.  Below are a few features that I have experienced

• Bulkness of padding
• Wetness indicators
• number of tapes (1, 2, or 3)
• Single tape design or bi-tape design where you only get to lay them down once
• cloth backing vs plastic backing
• colored, or printed
• Tape Landing zone
• Crinkle Factor (How loud the diaper is when you walk)
• Leg gathers and elastic waist bands (think pampers design, or Bambinos vs Tena Active Fit)
• Price!
• Quantity per pack, per case, per sample

How much is too much for a disposable product?  Now I have spent a fair number of coin on diapers, but when a diaper is reaching close to $2 dollars per unit I start to compromise on features.

Also friends, if you know anyone I can reach out to to get some quotes on developing a adult diaper I'd appreciate the insight.

I once traveled up and down a major boulevard in OC hitting up every grocery store and drug store.  I came away with a pack of Attends M10's -not sure if that was the official name but I was pretty stoked about the find.

Howdy!

   I wanted to reach out to the AB/DL community and see if there are a few local folks who wouldn't mind a new friend.  I have been a diaper lover my entire life, and am fascinated by AB or LG side of things since I have never experienced it.  I also seriously considering developing a diaper for the community to compete with the popular AB/DL brands.  Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope to chat with you all more in the near future.
