wetvinyl Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Lucky you! You're a couple shipping-days closer to the source... mine aren't due to arrive until Friday. (Oh well, I'm used to the 7-day-via-Ground ship wait, here on the east coast... Bams come from CA, and so does xpmed (Abena's). You can be the first to write a review These will be the first diapers I've bought since early summer-- been in a serious lull... From the pics, I can't say I'm too thrilled with the print on front (too dark, should've left off the dark-blue background and had everything else on clear tape, so the diaper (and its wetness, heh) would show through... oh well). My main interest was that these new ABU's were THICKER-- the original ABU's were great in every way except for absorbancy. In that aspect, they weren't really much better than a plain old DependsOvernight. Uh-oh... I'm writing a review and I don't even have em yet Let us know, Dragon! wv Link to comment
DailyDi Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Got mine Tuesday. I actually like the print. It's more of an "in-your-face" baby-print. Gave my mom a good laugh too.... when will she learn not to open boxes? The plastic is nice, a little crinkly so you know you're diapered. Absorbency seems good (haven't really tested em much.) All in all a good addition to the dl market. Plus, starting Jan 1st they will be sponsoring DailyDiapers which is always a plus Link to comment

That was my favorite detail of the ABUs-- MUCH more like 70s-80's era baby diapers. (Now they've just gotta start working on the scent...... mmmmmmmmmm ) LOLZ to your mom, DD... and w00ts to you for having that diaper-kewl domestic situation-- and the upcoming ABU sponsorship! (Time for an ABU "sticky" topic...?) High five, dude. wv Link to comment

Spone Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Just checked the tracking of my order. Mine are right now in Toledo. I'm on Long Island, so hopefully they'll be here tomorrow, but most likely Monday. Link to comment
adriansurley Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Eh, no waistband - I much prefer ones that have a waistband personally. Link to comment
Guest YkDave Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 looks like they got pretty lazy with the design on the front tape.... can you say cut/paste x2! lol Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah ..funny I looked at them again..it would be better if the three prints weren't lined up..more random pattern would look better to me..but anyway..thanks for the comments and reports. Link to comment
Guest YkDave Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It would look a million times better if it was just one big design, that design looks cheap has heck, its like they googled the picture and copied and pasted it a couple times and called it good... Link to comment
wetvinyl Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just got mine yesterday... first impressions: 1) They're still not as thick as a Bam or an X-Plus. Slightly thicker than a Depend Overnight. 2) Same plastic as the original ABUs... thin, not much gloss, but a nice little crinkle-- even when wet. 3) The taping-panel design may not appeal to ABs-- it's more of a "big-kid-in-diapers" look (which is more my speed ). 4) Absorbancy? 5/10-- they were leaking after one flood and a few tinkles (about one hour). BUT, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt: I'm a 34 waist so I ordered Mediums (just like Bams and Abena, as well as my previous ABUs). But these were SNUG-- the tapes barely reached the taping panel-- so the diapers were stressed tight, and tended to "wring out" whenever I sat down. Maybe the Large would be better for me. EDIT (night 2): Trying them with two slashed Luvs 6's as stuffers.... this is one thick diaper now EDIT (next morning): Stuffer recommended... <sigh> wv Link to comment
JPvegas420 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Eh, no waistband - I much prefer ones that have a waistband personally. I dont mind the No waist band. Thats fine for me...its the design that gets me. The first version of diapers ABU had were much better as far as design goes. I agree with a previous post...it seems to Cut n Paste to me.

Aleia Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I think I'm going to have to pass. It sounds like their definition of "extra thick" is very, very different from mine. If you have to use these diapers in conjunction with another product to get any joy, it's not worth the money or the trouble, in my opinion. The front panel looks pretty pathetic. They should have gone with one strip, or at least tried to be a little more subtle about piecing it together. Besides, if they really wanted the 80s/90s look, they should have used pastel colors on white, not neon on black (who puts BLACK on baby products, anyway?). It looks very big-boyish with the space theme (the critter is adorable, though), and especially with the size "8" marking. If they're catering to adult babies (it is, after all, ABUniverse), what was up with those decisions? I realize some people like the big kid look, but it would be nice if they offered a selection of different looks, including something more girl-oriented, and definitely something babyish. I get the impression that ABUniverse has some good ideas, but very half-assed execution, and they don't like to do their research. Link to comment
jon wilkins Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 weird thing is they said theyd send some email but i never got it is it usually right after the order or does it take time does it even matter if i got the email or no Link to comment
Newroad Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I like I'll have to show those to Snugglekitty. Maybe she will get me some. I hope I hope I hope. Link to comment
Guest az86 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 How feel the diaper wen it is wet? Get it bigger? Link to comment
wetvinyl Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Can't really tell about the "feel when wet", because I stuff a Luv 6 inside. They seem to swell up nice-- but that could be the stuffer, too. Sigh... Aleia's post spelled out my opinion of these, almost exactly: Not Abena/Secure/Bams thick at all... and the front panel isn't very AB-oriented (altho I'm more of a "big-kid" and don't mind it so much, it's pretty obvious this wouldn't appeal to ABs at all). I really like the plastic though, and the tapes are great. Swing and a miss. wv Link to comment
