jamestena Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi all Does anyone miss the old micropore lined attends? Link to comment
jamestena Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Did you find them soft inside ? Has that lining always been the same? Link to comment
Craisler Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes, the lining was soft. The one saving grace of the Attends was that they were the first reasonably effective adult disposable diaper. Eventually P&G gave up on the micropore liner and switched to a woven paper liner.

monkeypee Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I miss the micropore Attends. I thought it was a great idea, until I wore them and Link to comment
jamestena Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I mean it was kind of like Saran Wrap / cling film ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, the lining was soft.

Craisler Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 With the micropores, it didn't cling like Saran Wrap, at least initially. Link to comment

rusty pins Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 They were not good compared to todays diapers with SAP, but they were thick and good for their day. Link to comment
Craisler Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Rusty describes the old Attends perfectly. They were the best available in their day, but pretty lousy diapers by today's standards. Yes. Link to comment
jamestena Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think that's the issue - no waistbands - and you had to wear them tightly I'm imagining to keep them in place. Basically the sweat from your skin makes the plastic stick and hold the diaper in place? Sounds like a trash bag of the extreme... Removing the need for a waistband by using micropore ... obviously by wearing them tight against your skin which you'd need to ultimately starves any oxygen flow to your 'regions' . Essentially the only oxygen is breathing in plastic air as they'll be airtight... and sweaty... kinda sounds awful it being basically a 100% plastic sauna.

White and Plastic Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi folks, I'm new to the forum. I can't really say I miss the micropore because I still have some. My first diaper years back was the Depends, then I discovered the Attends at a drug store near me. Without powder they do stick to the skin pretty bad. When the choice at the store was Depends or the Attends, the Attends were so much better. They have a nice smooth plastic backing. Capacity was pretty low and they leaked easily. Eventually I was able to get the 6 tape Attends with the waistband. I still like them for nostalgia sake. Link to comment
Craisler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The micropore design had nothing to do with the waistband or lack of it. Link to comment

jamestena Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Scented diapers. Link to comment
skizics Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 No!!! The only thing they were any good for was LEAKING They were BY FAR the worst paper diaper I ever tried. The one and Only thing they did right was Three Tapes on each side so they fit but that was it. Link to comment

jamestena Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 It actually looks pretty decent. I see they're being careful in not saying there's a plastic inside lining when they say 'soft pliable lining'! But it kind of makes out its stretchy I guess... Interesting funnels for 'one way flow' . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
rusty pins Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Think of what happens when a funnel gets clogged up. Link to comment
jamestena Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ahh I didn't realise body pressure was actually crushing the plastic micropores... I suppose when you sit in one you are effectively depleting the urine movement and like you say leaving it to lie on the surface which is effectively a swamp style plastic sheet. And I guess it stops oxygen too. I wonder if they were thinking that certain people have a bit of body fat in the buttocks so when they sit in one the displacement wouldn't necessarily 'crush' the micropore holes? Only a thought. I'm wondering if the funnels could have been altered so they didn't crush , maybe a tougher plastic that didn't get crushed by skin and body pressure when sat on. I heard also the sheet was sticky... what help is a plastic sheet like that ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
