aussie_baby Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yep I wore my last Abena X-Plus last night as Abena have discontinued the classic plastic lining here in Australia. Im so shattered, I shouldve ordered a couple of cases when I first heard of this happening. Im wearing a wellness brief right now and although i havent wet it yet it is nowhere near as thick, I meanthats what its all about the thickness, I love being well-padded. Is there anywhere in Australia that still stock them?? Or do any Aussies on this site know of anywhere overseas that ship down under?? We cant get bambinos, we cant get cushies, we cant get dry 24/7s, the x-plus were the way to go. No way im going cloth backed. HELP ME!! Link to comment
diaperlad Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Time to move to America...Just kidding. Plastic backs seem to be diminishing into annihilation, being abolished. Actually converting into cloth-backs now. How come you can't get them down under? is my question. btw. Sorry to hear your story. Link to comment
dl_ashlee Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 He can't get them anymore as Abena discontinued all plastic backed diapers, except for in the USA. So only way now it to import them from the USA, man that must suck. Link to comment
Guest gnappies Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Why not switch to Tena Slip Maxi, they're avialble in Oz, and plastic backed? Link to comment

thixk Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I feel so sorry for you. I just love the X-Plus diapers too. If you want them thicker, you might have to double stack the diapers (by cutting a slit in the first diaper). But, I think wellness are still thin for that. Link to comment

Sorry to hear the news, hopefully some quality daipers will re-emerge your way very soon. Link to comment
blu4 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I agree that Tena Slip Maxi is the way forward!! They are all that I wear. Having tried numerous other brands I find them to be the most suitable for my needs i.e thick enough, absorbent and plastic backed, what moer could you want? Link to comment
Kari Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe around Christmas time we all will all chip in and send a case of Abena's "Down Under" (I know, everyone's looking around and saying "who's we?") It's a nice thought though. Link to comment
babybub Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Same here in New Zealand no more plastic backing , I was shattered to. Link to comment
babykerrie Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Nother Aussie here and equally shattered.Wearing the wellness brief and as I said in another post, not happy. They tear at the tabs. But still better than nothing and getting used to them. They dont stand up to a good humping like Abeena used to either.LOL. Link to comment
Diapered Android Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 What?! I don't mind some of the cloth ones (Attends Breathables), but it sucks you don't have the choice. Link to comment

I suppose that you don't want to hear about the 3 cases of plastic-backed Abenas that FedEx dropped off for me earlier this week. (mmmmmm, crinkles!) Link to comment
h200420012 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think as far as plastic backed goes, specialty companies will eventually be our only suppliers. I think that between the 2 ABDL specific companies and maybe other down the line, they can eventually garner enough support and money to distribute worldwide. It's not like the AB/DL population is ever going anywhere. Link to comment
