harmony83 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Every so often I like to watch these, and I often see people in the forums requesting diaper changing tips, so here are a few "How To" instructional video's by major diaper companies on how to change an adult diaper (briefs) as according to it's design. People might notice the diapers they're wearing work differently after applying them properly. Link to comment
dl_ashlee Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 That is interesting the way they put on the Abena with the top tape and bottom tapes crossing each other. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, the abena video is my favorite, and yes, a Link to comment
willnotwill Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The girl getting diapered in the Abena is a lot hotter than the little old lady in the Prevail one. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Haha, Yeah, I like that one too for that reason. The Abena looks like the better diaper in the video too. Link to comment
Benjamin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I remember finding the Abena video a little while back and thinking "...oh, so that's how they are suppose to be taped". Never had another problem with the tapes after adapting their own 'factory' method. "You can tell that Abena put more time/money into their video, it doesn't seem as clinical as the first one. Using two attractive women never seems to hurt either. There's just something about those Abena diapers. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, I wore diapers for like 15 years before I watched these videos and realized I was doing something just slightly off. Yeah, that Abena video seems to get the most attention. Link to comment
Creepymouse Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 That might explain why I always seem to get one tape sticking to my thigh after a while. I'll have to give it a try. Link to comment
Djf Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I gave the Abena diapering technique a try and wow what a great fit. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah, it's crazy to think how just the slightest adjustment to how you change a diaper can totally change up the way it works. Link to comment
kootzkoo Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 have you treid that taping technique with other diapers besides abena? like bambino diapers for example? Link to comment
Benjamin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I never tried the Abena taping method with Bambino's, but next time I get a case of them, I will definitely give it a try. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah, I've never tried the Bambino's yet so I'm not sure either, although I think the comment about the cut of the diaper being different was true, so it may not apply but the best way to find out is to try it. Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I've always pulled the bottom tapes upward and the top tapes downward on my dips... though not to the extreme shown in the Abena vid. I tried several times to replicate what the vid showed and was never satisfied with the results. 1 Link to comment
Zander Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Note that in the Czech video (the Abena one at the end), they're using a M4 and not an L4 on the model in the demonstration part. The L4 would be way too large on her as you can tell the M4 is actually too big already. The reason for crossing the tapes is because its a little to big to start with. Angling the bottom tabs upwards pulls the diaper snugly against the butt and thighs (helping the leak-guards to actually do their job), angling and pulling the top tabs down and over the bottom tabs pulls the back of the diaper against the small of her back ideally creating a "seal" (well a snug fit) at the small of the back so that nothing should leak out onto the backing sheet plastic above the absorbent core.

harmony83 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Even though I'm not a fan of the product anymore, I wouldn't mind if Depend did a few promotion videos on how to change their adult diapers because they have the money to have celebrity models like Kelly Ripa or Valerie Bertinelli doing it or someone else similar, haha. Not an impossible dream when you look at their current advertising campain. Link to comment
Benjamin Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Kelly Ripa seems to be mentioned frequently on this forum. I completely understand why She is a cutie. She seems very spontaneous and I bet she would make a cute diaper video. I can just imagine her walking up to the camera unfolding a bulky Abena and saying: "C'mon angel, let's change your diaper!" with that grin of hers. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I actually have tried the taping method in the abena video. The diapers absolutely will sag much more easily- especially when wet. I don't recommend it unless you want to constantly be bothered trying to re-adjust them. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 The diapers sag more easily that way? Hmm, I would have thought they would hold up to the waist a bit better that way, but I guess it's possible. Link to comment
Benjamin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think that your mileage may vary depending on a number of things like the number of wettings, how tightly you taped them on, if you are wearing pants over them or by themselves, etc. It may depend on your body shape as well. I'd still recommend the taping method in the video to anybody who is curious, at least for experimenting. I find it to work pretty good. Give it a shot. Link to comment
DiaperedNerd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I just tried that tape crossing method, and it works really well. Link to comment
PaddedPat Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Also tried the cross-tape method. Best fit I've ever gotten from Abenas, and I swear the tapes hold much better than the traditional taping method. Haven't had one tape slip or pop since I tried their method, which has historically been one of my biggest complaints with Abenas. The tighter fit also cuts down on unexpected leaks and seems to better distribute the padding, so the wicking effect works like it should. In other words, you actually get better mileage out of each brief. Remarkable. Who knew such a simple change would have such a profound effect? Certainly not me. Link to comment
harmony83 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Glad to see these videos are making a positive difference for some diaper wearers out there, I knew some people would like them. Link to comment
DiapermanAl Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes thank you for the vids.I been using the tape crossing method too. Very successful with it. Link to comment
warpiper Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 fo shizz, the tape crossing method is a world of difference! Link to comment
