uk_DL Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 why is it, on tena slip, they are lose around the side of the legs and not tight? Link to comment
rusty pins Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Maybe that's the "slip" part. They aren't tight, they slip. Link to comment
Joe-Box Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Maybe that's the "slip" part. They aren't tight, they slip. Funny. Actually they are working fine for me. What is your size (question to OT)?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Firzen Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think it might be caused by the placement of the tabs. Every diaper has different fit, and some just doesn't have to fit you at all. In any case, you can definitely try to place the tabs like in following picture - bottom tabs head up, whereas upper tabs head down. It may sound illogical, and it might not create the best look of the diaper, but in most cases, it will give you the best possible fit. Link to comment
Dubious Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Large, 36" waist I use medium with a 41" waist, its a tight fit, but it never leaks and large is too loose Link to comment
warpiper Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Are you using the plastic backed or the cloth backed? I find that cloth backed diapers tend to creep and get looser as the night wears on. Link to comment
technomonkey Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I have used the tena slip maxi for the last few years and i am 38 waist and use a large diaper med to tight. I miss the ones that had the cloth sides and plastic center for summer. Link to comment
Dubious Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I use tena Slip Active Fit (Plastic) Maxi and ultima Large is too large on my 41" waist, imo, rather a tight fit, than loose and leaking Link to comment
FullyLoaded Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think that fit is more important than absorbency. The best fitting diaper for me Northshore Supreme. I can't really get a good fit with Tena, dry 24/7 and some other popular brands. So if you can't seem to get the Tena Slips to fit right maybe they're not for you. Link to comment
Yooo Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think that fit is more important than absorbency. The best fitting diaper for me Northshore Supreme. I can't really get a good fit with Tena, dry 24/7 and some other popular brands. So if you can't seem to get the Tena Slips to fit right maybe they're not for you. I am trying the Tena Slip Maxi right now for the first time. I have the version with the breathable sides, and I'm wearing a size medium. I have a 34" waist, so the bottom adhesive tapes don't reach all the way to the plastic shell, rather I had to place them on the breathable side panels. I'm sure that they will start to loosen around the legs because of that, but I'll have to see! Different diapers fit differently due to the cut, padding, and tape placement. I also feel that the NorthShore Supreme fit best for me, they only ever leak if I know that I'm pushing the boundary. ABU's diapers always leak around the leg way before their limit whether I'm standing, sitting, or laying down. They just don't fit me. I've heard others say that their bottom tapes are rather high, and it could be that I have the same issue as them. Link to comment
Dubious Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Breathable side is no good and it doesn't really help at all, imo Link to comment
