BoTox Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The tapes are not perfect but if you pull the material under them flat so that the tape adheres completely flat as well and rub them on well, they do hold very well. They hold so well you will rip the plastic backing if you try to remove them or reposition. That is my biggest peeve, you can't adjust if you tape it incorrectly the first time. Other than that, I've been really happy at how well one holds compared to the store brands and depends. They aren't Abena X-plus, Bambinos or Molicares but they are a darn fine every day diaper. I get them for about $90 a case and I can pick them up locally! Link to comment
dlinmsp Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I use Tranquility exclusively, ATNs at night and Slimlines during the day, both with Comco plastic pants. I have noticed the same thing with the tapes on occasion. I bought some baby diaper pins from Babies R Us and use them with the disposables. I start the diaper pin about a half inch in front of the tapes and then poke through both tapes and close the diaper pin. The head of the diaper pin rests on the tapes and doesn't allow them to pull apart. I also put slits in an extra large baby diaper and use it as a stuffer. I've yet to leak with this combination and after I wet three, sometimes four times, I remove the baby diaper and I can still wet a couple more times before I change my diaper. Try this and see how it works for you. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 A few years ago I bought a package of Tranquility ATN's to try. I always liked the regular Tranquility diapers. Anyway, when I put one on the tapes came off from the back of the diaper! I didn't pull too hard trying to tape my diaper on, they just came off! I tried 2 more diapers in the package and the same thing happened to the tapes! I had to use duct tape to tape the diapers on. That was the first and last package of ATN's I ever bought. I figured that perhapse that one lot was defective or else they would eventually redesign the tapes, but one reason I never bought more ATN's was they were expensive, over $20 per package and they didn't seem to absorbe any better than the Attends I was using. It's always nice to try new brands of diapers but due to the cost I probably won't try them again unless I can find them in a store for a reasonable price. Link to comment
AbenaBoy Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I've used them on a couple of occasions and I only had probledms with the tapes on one of the diapers but then I figured out what Botox said above. Aslong as you get the surface flat and the tape even they work very well. Link to comment
Jabez Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I used to wear the Tranquility ATN's exclusively. They are a great diaper and aren't as expensive as the Abena's or Bambinos. They fit well and are quite comfortable, but alas the tapes do suck. I always had a roll of packaging tape on hand that I ALWAYS used to reinforce the tapes, lest I be in public when the tapes decide to pop. And repositioning the tapes is definitely a no-go. But if you don't mind using a bit of extra tape, they are awesome diapers. Link to comment
Missy Q Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I just put little dabs of hotglue under the tapes, works like a charm. Link to comment
ultrapampers Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I just put little dabs of hotglue under the taps, works like a charm. Getting a hot glue gun near a disposable diaper sounds like a recipe for disaster! Link to comment
Missy Q Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Getting a hot glue gun near a disposable diaper sounds like a recipe for disaster! Hey it works! Just a little glue under the tapes. Of course touching the outside surface would melt it. Link to comment
Guest diaperguy68 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 i've noticed the same thing too.. sometimes part of the tape comes off when fastening. molicare has the best tape i think. i once showered in molicare filling my diapers completely with water and the tapes were still completely secure!!.

PhilDL Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've been wearing Tranquility diapers for bed time for years now. BTW, as I've mentioned before I use a Huggies overnite size 5 as a stuffer. This combo is just as good as Molicare. I've also moved to use the ATN's during the day. Yes, they tend to have issues with the tapes but it's not really that often. What I always do is when the tape is applied I rub on the tape with one finger inside. The combination of pressure and heat that is built up seems to help. Sometimes the top tape does slip off the blue tape but it grabs the plastic and doesn't pop off completely. If you do come across a batch that seems to slip more often then remove the blue tape and just use the top tape. All the issues with the tapes is with the blue tapes. Phil Link to comment
AbenaBoy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Haha, I'd prolly use a little gorilla glue before i'd go the route of hot glue gun! Link to comment

babyvr6 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm just gonna say it. How did you get crap on the tapes? Maybe you should tape it first, then do your business. We all know your excited about your new diapers, but be patient when doing No.2s. Link to comment

DailyDi just wished to remove picture and video content TO MAKE SURE, he never specifically stated that it was illegal, he just did not want any trouble. Please, stop being so anal about it and let people be themselves. The tapes are a bit crappy however am I the only one who uses a stapler? Do those work? I'd think they would make it more likely to rip the tape and the outside of the diaper. Link to comment

curiositykilledthecat Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 one staple tends to hold the tape in place, however my diapers tend to be mangled when i wake up anyways. not sure why. Link to comment
