DailyDi Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ordered a bag of the new ones. Improved tapes and a more secure core could make these a great value diaper! Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They definitely look like steps in the right direction, but I couldn't help notice the lower tapes are still positioned in the middle, and the lack of leak guards. Shoot, put those lower tapes back in the right position and I'll try them again. Not before that though, they leak way before reaching capacity due to them being impossible to get a snug fit around your legs. Oh well, still steps in the right direction. Link to comment
square_duck Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I ordered samples of these in both medium and large and tried a medium level 3 and was amazed at how comfy they are!! WOW! I like how they fit and appreciate the wider seat etc. I didn't have any issues with the tapes or the fit and they also really held a LOT....But as said above, the inner leak guards would be a nice addition... but over all I found them just to be a really great diaper right off the bat I'm gonna try the level 4 medium tonight, should be much like an Abena 4, as Gary suggests. We'll see, as I seem to pee a lot at night As for the larges, they might be to big....hmmm..might be fun to try and make fit, but if they are anything like Bambino larges, they will just gap at the legs and leak...but make me feel smaller which is an interesting experiance.

This is my exact same problem. I know I'm a large based on the larges will almost extend up to my belly button, and have about 2" overlap on the sides (a perfectly proper fit). The mediums only extend up to my waist line, and barely have 1/2“ of overlap. A clear sign they don't fit and I need a size larger. Unfortunately those lower tapes are positioned in the middle, and not the bottom where they should be. As such, I will leak long before reaching capacity. The XP L4's also have a lot more sap than the L3's. They swell up nicely, but don't seem to wick as good as they should which is a bummer since they'd probably last me 12+ hours if they did- and I pee a lot too. Link to comment
DailyDi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just got my bag of the new version. Going to put one on and test it in a bit when I take a nap (Got to be up at 2AM tonight to order my iPhone so need a nap lol) #firstworldproblems Link to comment
Billiardnut Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looks like they posted on their homepage the introduction of Absorbancy Plus Level 4. Shows the stack being thicker than dry 24/7 and Abena X-plus...he also gives the absorbancy 5 1/2 drops which is more than I've seen them give any diaper...the absorbancy plus they posted recently only had 3 drops....now that being said, no mention of leak guards is made, which may be a downfall...either way, it's definitely tempting now...

Baby Brian Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Their absorbency is good, unfortunately due to the tapes being positioned to high they will leak long before reaching their capacity. They are probably better than Wellness, but not as good as Abena. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Do you realize that you mention this in every single post you make on these diapers? Yes quite obviously. I keep hoping enough other people will catch on to this, realize what a proper fit is (including having the diaper extend up to your belly button AND have the inch or two minimum overlap on the sides), and thereby get these manufacturers to make the diapers correctly. At least that's my hope. 1 Link to comment
crys_138 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just ordered a half case of these, since they're on sale while there's still some stock. Link to comment

Darkfinn Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 With the improvements it's not a bad diaper... but for the price I'll keep buying my Abenas, they're simply better. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I actually don't like low tapes that grind into my thighs, thank you very much. Link to comment
ConnorDiaperBoy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 With the improvements it's not a bad diaper... but for the price I'll keep buying my Abenas, they're simply better. I may go back to Abena or try A+. I got a case of 18 confidry's from Gary that contained thin wings, rips in plastic, and tears in SAP. Now, he sent me a replacement case, but I still have tears in the SAP. I wonder if he gets 24/7's leftovers, and that's why he sells them at a lower price. IDK. I haven't had an issue with Xp until just recently. Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've ordered several cases of Drys from XP over the past few years... they've always been hit-or-miss on the quality. Missing tapes, tears in the outer shell or missing seams on the inner lining, definitely NOT what a premium quality diaper should be. Likewise I've ordered many, many cases of Abena... and I don't recall having an issue with their quality. Also the Molicares I've ordered from him have always been good... I just think Molis clump up too much for my active lifestyle. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 That's odd. I've been wearing dry24/7 for almost a year now. I haven't had a single problem with them other than having to stick the tapes on really good or they will eventually pop off if I don't. Link to comment
gotdiapers Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 ^^^Same here. But as long as you position the tapes correctly I don't have any problems at all. They are a great diaper. Link to comment
jillInDiapers2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am in LA and was running short on supplies due to have to wear 24/7 for the time being. I was able to go to the warehouse of XP Medical to pick up much needed supplies. I bout the 24/7 brand to try after hearing good things about it. I just want to say that Gary was extremely helpful and very nice. I got very lucky that he was nearby as I was starting to panic Jill Link to comment
