disposablediaperboy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 What would the cover of your dream diaper be?? Cloth or Plastic backed? Judging by my photos it wont be hard to determine what my choice would be! Link to comment
DailyDi Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Plastic. I hate "cloth-like" materials. Don't mind a good cloth covered washable diaper or cover, but hate that scratchy fake cloth. Link to comment
padded_husky Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 That is a tuffy for me because I am appreciative for both. On one hand plastic backed diapers sound oh so wonderfully crinkly, and they feel nice. On the other hand, I have recently started to wear cloth diapers and have found out that when you wet them, they give a little due to weight and sag! so I really appreciate what both offer, but if I had to choose one... I would say plastic mainly because i miss the crinkles! D: although, the tap on cloth stick way better... crinkles though ie more important! Link to comment
TheKid Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Plastic!!! Disposable diapers were plastic backed when I was a baby. I'm guessing if I had worn cloth backed diapers I'd like those. And don't you just love the way they crinkle? Link to comment
carjock Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Disposables should be plastic, even cloth diapers have plastic pants over top. Link to comment
Dougie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have gotten some really bad friction rashes from the fake cloth-like diapers. I have had the cloth-like covers come loose at night and leak really bad. I have had very little problem with most plastic backed diapers. Link to comment
Missy Q Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Plastic. If I wanted cloth I would wear cloth diapers. Link to comment
gotdiapers Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Plastic. If I wanted cloth I would wear cloth diapers. Word to ya mutha!! No wiser words have been uttered! Link to comment
RMS401 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I love the feel of plastic diapers, but don't know of any I'd buy over my favorite diaper, which has a "cloth" cover. So I guess my answer is that the cover isn't the most important thing about a diaper. But I will say that putting on a really good plastic-covered diaper and just rubbing your hands all over it--there's no better feeling. It's been a long time since I've felt this, but as I recall, the Tranquility ATN and Attends 10 diapers felt great. -RMS Link to comment
LILJIM Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Plastic for me all the way with disp. and plastic covered cloth diapers. Link to comment
hiphopcow87 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I too would have to say plastic back. Much prefer the smooth feeling vs the soft. Link to comment
nhdl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Plastic backing for me too. Cloth like irritates my the inside of my legs terribly and imo are more prone to leaks. Link to comment
attends_99 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Plastic for me as well. I like the smooth feel with just a hint of crinkle Link to comment
Loveable_guy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 My preference is plastic of course. However with the wife always around I need to be considerate of her acceptance and crinkling around the house on a the weekend does not make her happy so I go with cloth covered to keep the peace.

babybub Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Plastic for me. And with plastic pants over top. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 So, since the majority seems to be for plastic, who is going to send the results of this poll to all the adult diaper manufacturers who have switched from plastic backed diapers over the years to making cloth backed ones? Link to comment
babymikeblue Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 i like plastic backs on diapers Link to comment

Adult Diaper companies market to the people who need diapers, not the people who want diapers. And usually the people who need diapers want diapers which are discreet, which is an area where cloth has the advantage over plastic. Link to comment
Wetdl Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 But leaking all over the place is not discrete. I'll take plastic, every "cloth backed" I have ever tried, leaked. Of course the manufacturers don't mind a bit if you keep changing barely wet diapers to keep from leaking... Link to comment
tcc Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 While I prefer plastic backing, though I never fail to wear two pairs of plastic pants for leakproofing, cloth backing doesn't seem to do too badly, and the "hook & loop" tapes can work a little better at times than the sticky tapes on some brands. While I prefer cloth diapers, they aren't always practical due to bulk, so since I'm a DL and wear by choice, I just want a "package" that works so I don't have to figure out how to get a diaper change except when I want to get one and not leak.
