Diaper Recommendations

[seahawks1203]

Depend brand diapers are the only thing around here that sell in the drug stores. Other than the store brand that is. I used to like Depend, but lately they've really been bad. Anyway, between Attends, Molicare and Abena, what would you recommend? Xpmedical sells all 3, I like the look of the Abena. I really liked the softness and crinkleness (is that a word?) of the Depends. Anyone have a recommendation?

im taking you want discreet diapers then? try Tranquility they are not as Crinkly as Abenas or Molicare but they are about the same quality diaper

Oh, I mean I really like how crinkley the depend diapers were. It was a nice reminder of what I was wearing.

Molicares "rustle", Abena have "crinkle" Attends classic crinkle quite a bit but the new "10" brand not as much. All of them give off a distinct louder sound when wet though...so I've noticed. But only when wearing diaper alone, not under clothes so much. You should get a sample of Bambino's those things are LOUD!

Ive found, that every diaper can be as loud or as quiet as you want it to be... its all in the tapes!

Bambinos are pretty quiet though.. but again, its all in the tapes and how you tape up!

If you can get them, Tena, in my opinion, are the best diaper out there. I get them from http://www.airoliver.de/ but you may wish to check delivery costs. Tena are available in three absorbency ranges (Plus, Super, Maxi)

I found that the worst diaper ever is the molicare range - 0 absorbency and they leak every time.

try Tranquility aTN's

I sell the European Tena Slip Maxis on my site :-) http://www.acecoolmedical.com

The worst nappies I have ever purchased are European Attends special care 10, Total waste of money. I've had better cheap brands. Tena slips are the best.

Are you looking to buy locally? If not then consider this another +1 for bambinos, they are expensive but the old adage of 'You get what you pay for' really is true here.

If you need to buy locally and are stuck with depends here is what I do:

I buy baby diaper stuffers to get the depends REALLY thick. I buy Mom2Mom size 6, but they are only sold at Safeway (possibly Vons), but the think I like about them is actually their cheap construction.

With the M2M they only glue the backing with three glue strips (two at the sides and one in the middle) so, if you are careful, you can cut a hole in the plastic backing without cutting the filler container so the filler stays intact (doesn't get all over).

With this method I can get diapers that are almost as thick as bambinos (no where near as absorbent though).
