BlakeJordan Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 They told me- after a crazy furious letter ( I had been order w cases a month for 2 years of Bella's). That they are reworking their entire line due to the input they are receiving from from customers, and hoping to have both a new bella and Classic. That was 3 months ago. Around the time that they did the limited quantity. (I was among the first to receive the new Bella's, having a reoccurring order set with them) In any case. They also said they would send me a new sample as soon as they were ready. No word yet. -Blake- Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So without starting any more controversy, Let me see if I have the facts straight from what I have gathered in multiple posts. The diaper is now 1.5" longer, yet the padding is 1.5" shorter? Is that measurement taken from the old to the new, or are you taking measurements from the new one down to the padding. IF so it seems rather obvious they added plastic but not deducted any padding..granted they didn't add any either . SO I guess it all depends, some people say they are just as absorbent as before others add arguments that they aren't, but come up with statistics that counter balance. The company stated the same amount of product has not changed in padding. So I would say take a old one and a new one and accurately weigh them. Also the plastic has been discussed in the past the main roll will vary in thickness through the production as the roll decreases in size from the reel. Not much one can do about that except use half a reel and then pass on cost to customers. I don't use them anymore as a regular one, as I use small. But I have had on quite a few mediums since then. And I will tell you if a small guy uses a medium diaper, the stresses on the diaper itself are far more than a diaper used for one of appropriate size. Sorry to hear of the whoas of the bambino line but let's give them a chance to correct. Link to comment
DLdapper Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Repaid1 - I just recently added an update concerning some of the points you mentioned in my review of the changes (Post #2309). The new diaper is is larger in all areas except for the padding, which has less coverage in all areas than the previous design. I don't understand their logic for this but that's what they did. I even re-measured it because it didn't make sense to me when I was initially creating the review. On the topic of padding, many have stated the company told them the amount of padding in the diaper has not changed, and after the tests I did I can agree with that. They hold similar amounts of liquid in ideal situations. This leads me to believe that the leaking/capacity issues people are having is more of a design flaw. Hopefully the company design team understands the issues at hand and know how to fix them for the future. They provide my favorite diapers and I would like it to stay that way. Link to comment

whip2896 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I can't believe there isn't more of a forum uproar about the Bambino out of stock issue, I always thought they were the most absorbent and popular ABDL diaper around. I guess I was just ignorant. Link to comment
BlakeJordan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 They are... It's just been a steady decline in service and quality- and the regulars are just in disgust. I think at this point those who are really fed up prolly don't have the energy to complain here as they know complaining directly to bambino is of little use even of done in a constructive manner and repeatedly or through multiple channels/outlets. It becomes a waste of energy to complain and any posts in forums are more about awareness/experience/ status updates/reviews. That's my guess. Link to comment
crawling-in-diapers Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well I've emailed the owner a few times, and according to him, they will be shocking some very soon. Two weeks ago he said it could be up to three months, but he changed it and said, " We will have the regular product in stock around 30 to 60 days. However, we will post the availability of our products as soon as we have an exact date. Link to comment

Spargano Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 surprisingly, one of the best incontinence support website forums is very aware of Bambino and quality diapers from them. Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 surprisingly, one of the best incontinence support website forums is very aware of Bambino and quality diapers from them. One of the best? Would that be the one Daily Di runs separate from this site? 1 Link to comment

DailyDi Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Contrary to some of the comments we have read on the boards and forums, Bambino Diapers is NOT going out of business. We have delayed all the new production orders from our manufacturers until we are satisfied that our customers' concerns for quality and comfort can be met. We do not want to sell product that fails to meet the expectations of our customers. We still have inventory on Tena Slip Maxi (original all plastic diaper from Europe), Abena and Molicare-All Plastic Diapers. We will be receiving samples of our new production in the next few days and believe that we can be fully stocked with most of our more than 15 SKU's of all Link to comment
diaperboyMKE Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I hope they meet their end of June expected delivery date, I'm down 2 two left and I really want to order some more! Link to comment
adriansurley Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 They have been out of stock for awhile - hoping to place an order when they are suppose to get stock back in! Hoping their timeline is accurate Link to comment
BlakeJordan Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm surprised they have yet to put a date on their site yet. I really want to try their new run. I am at the moment in between a good 24/7 diaper. I'm hoping that they will fix things. My fallback was tena. But with the tena going to the fabric liner style. /groan. Link to comment
BlakeJordan Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks like they have their estimated ship date of "after July 4th Holiday " in big red text on homepage. Link to comment
adriansurley Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Should be interesting as I imagine they will have a mass run on their diapers come that time...maybe it will coincide with a sale? Link to comment
DailyDi Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hope they do come in and are up to their standards. Very low on diapers! Using Bambinos during the day and Confidry at night to conserve my bambinos for now. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 While nobody likes to run out, I still like their perseverance on quality. And since I've been working my butt off, I'm going to get more TSM's while I can. For me they're the only diaper I like more than Bambinos And when they get stocked up again, that will leave more Bambinos for everyone else too Link to comment
Darkfinn Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Bambino still having stock problems? That's ridiculous. Link to comment
PaddedPat Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 FYI to those not on Bambino's email list: Hot off the presses as of a couple hours ago. --- "Medium & Large Diapers Ready to Ship! The newest production of Bambino diapers has an improved unitized core design. This new proprietary design which increases the dispersion of urine while maximizing the function of the diaper greatly enhances its comfort. The new addition of TRP (Time Released Polymers) increases wicking and strike through while increasing the resistance of the core from tearing or bunching. The TRP technology also helps increase the rate of absorption. Diapers that are Back in Stock: Bellisimo, Bianco, Variety, Classico, Teddy, and TotalDry X-Plus Extra Large Diaper Update We expect to begin shipping Extra Large sizes mid August. Watch our website for updates." --- Same prices, as far as I can tell. Hopefully they've resolved the absorbency issues from the last batch. All the other changes were quite a step forward, IMO. Best diaper ever? I hope to find out soon enough. **furiously reassesses finances with fervent anticipation** Link to comment
WBDaddy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Shame I blew the budget for my babygirl on a case of ATN's... I'd like to see just how "small" the Bellissimos run versus other M's... Link to comment
DailyDi Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 They are "in hand" in stock too. Ordered at 4:30 and got a shipping notice an hour later! Link to comment
PaddedPat Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Nice! Sorry about the cross-post, DailyDi. I was so jazzed, I couldn't help myself! :-P Link to comment
