Has anyone else who has used or currently uses Covidien diapers, noticed some serious quality issues with the product? I bought some Covidien Wings Super Quilted Adult briefs (catalog# 87084) a couple of weeks ago and have gone through several of an 18 count package. So far my experience with these have been that there are no leak guards, just leg gathers so they tend to leak around the leg. The Supers are "MAX Absorbency" but not "OVERNIGHT" so they don't hold enough for me. The padding is all cellulose fluff and it's not firmly attached to the backing so it migrates when it gets wet. One diaper had a flaw with the inner lining where it opened up and spilled wet cellulose fiber everywhere when I removed it. Next I bought some Covidien Wings OVERNIGHT Quilted Adult briefs (catalog 67034) and tried the first one last night before bed. I was shocked when at the beginning of my first void, I felt water dripping, looked down and saw pee beading up and pouring from a one-inch diameter spot on the front of the diaper. The fabric-like cover was intact but it was leaking! I didn't notice leaks from anywhere else, so I threw on a diaper cover with two microfiber inserts and went to bed. By 4 am I was doing the back-stroke! I changed into the second Covidien overnight this morning and put on thin snap diaper cover and after about 1.5 hours I found it leaking around the legs. I can't be sure if the fabric leaked but the entire diaper cover was saturated on the inside and the outer cover of the diaper was wet. Two overnight diapers in a row with a severe FAIL. I am now wearing a cheap (sm/med size) Assurance stretch brief that DOES have leak guards. I have had much better results and security with Assurance than with the Covidiens. I have stopped using the Covidien overnights after 2 of 18 seemed to fail badly. I've got an email in to the seller explaining about the leakage of the cloth-like covering and hope that they will take back the remainder in exchange for a different brand. Since the "Wings Supers" are about half gone, there's no chance of refund on them, but other than the lack of absorbency, loose padding, no leak guards and one diaper that the inner lining broke loose and spilled the wet fluff, at least I haven't had any LEAK-THROUGH FABRIC issues on them. [EDIT: YET!]
