What Discontinued Diaper Do You Miss the Most? ... And Why?

[Voksenbleie.Komfort@gmail.com]

For me it is Lil’ Squirts and Attends Waistband because Lil’ Squirts gives ekstrem komfort and last a long long time, definitely all night and (if wearing loose sweat pant) this thick diaper can last all day long. Attends Waistband has amazing outer soft smooth surface and makes the crinkly sound when moving. I only have several boxes left and I’m wearing them in these 2 photos with some sadness wishing they would still be making them both before I run out.[emoji20]

my all time favorite diaper was the six tape permadry attends with the plastic backing.. back with P&G had them.. paperpak did ok with them but killed the diaper off later on. The had the perfect bulk and crinkle factor and the tapes held extremely well.. I most use the dry 24/7 diaper these days, which very good quality as well.

I agree on the P & G Attends. I also liked the original green Depends.

I'm with Glennie and babystevie on the P&G Attends.  You could buy them in almost any drugstore in the 90's.

Second would be Abena Abri-Form plastic backed - but I recently learned that DryLife XPlus is the same diaper, just rebranded.

Yes, the good old 6 tape Attends from the mid 1990's by P&G were great!  They had padding in the wings and not just down the center of the diaper.  Keep in mind that we probably thought they were the greatest diaper back them because they were!  No Confidry 24/7, Abena, Northsore, Rearz or other premium diapers!

Now, here is one that I doubt anyone here remembers.  It was called Kay Plus and made in Canada. It had a soft plastic outer cover and was like a pillow!  Thick, puffy and almost like a polyester inner padding that made it absorbent but also very puffy!  No SAP back then so it was thick and so comfortable and very absorbent!  I just think they couldn't compete with Attends and Depends back then.  I only had the opportunity to wear a few of them and then I couldn't get them anywhere.  I think I heard about 35 to 40 years ago that they sold out to some other company who discontinued making them.  Probably was bought out by another company just to eliminate them as competition.  If anyone here remembers these diapers from around 35 to 40 years ago, please let me know and let me know what you thought of them.

I miss the old plastic backed Abena L4, They actually worked for me overnight.

Everything they made after was gradually less absorbent and didn't work for me.

...even though I am a cloth diaper person, I did use some disposable here & there 30-35yrs ago when due to living arrangements I couldn't have cloth diapers. My ultimate favorite disposable was(and see if any of you remember)were those two tape all white wingfold "Ambeeze" disposables. They were identical to the very first baby Pamper diapers. Two tape, all white, no leg gatherers, no wet strip indicator and package said "fits up to 40" waist". Package also said in plain view in a 4" circle "DIAPER STYLE". Man, I'd put two & three of those on and it was almost a "no touch" orgasm, if ya know what I mean, He-he. Wish I could find a trunkload of new old stock of these diapers!!! This was about '83-'88 time frame for these?

My first was the P&G Attends as far as disposable diapers. They were amazing ! They would on the top of the list .  Molicares were the first imported diapers I remember and then abriforms.  I liked moliforms when they first came out . They seemed to hold more than our American brands. It`s a shame these have also changed.

Purple Molicares!  

Also there is a specific brand of Tena pullups I really loved.

Oh, yes!  I remember those Ambeez diapers.  They were just as you described.  Wingfold, no elastics and two tapes.  As far as absorbency, probably one sheet of paper towel would be as absorbent but they were plastic backed and like one of the early Pampers.  OK to try 35 or 40 years ago when that was all you could find in a mom and pop drug store or for very light bladder leakage (the type that people wear pull up disposable underwear for now days), but for any real type of protection they were pretty poor.  Only thing I can say good about them was they looked and felt like very old style disposable baby diapers from the 70's

Sound like very comfortable diaper. Would be good having chance to try these.

Yes, the old purple Molicares were great.

The original green depend diapers

[Elfy]

100% the plastic backed Tena Maxi.

The best all-purpose nappy there's been.

I'm with Elfy on this one

[Rachael-Little]

Yes another fan of the 6 tape attends. They had that perfect crinkle factor 

First real adult diaper I ever wore 

[dlnoir]

Diapers not so much as I prefer cloth diapers and plastic pants. I do however miss the old style plastic pants they used to make here in Europe.  

 

[Lil Fox Scotty 91]

The old dry 24/7's right before they moved production to the USA. They felt thicker back then.

[Little Baby Becca]

Huggies Baby Steps, circa 1990's. They came in boys and girls versions. Soft plastic outer-shell. I have about a half of package left so I wear them sparingly. (and yes I can wear them right out of the package) Check my profile for more pictures.

I bought a case of Tykables Little Builders before they discontinued them.  I still have a good amount left, but was disappointed when they were discontinued because I liked the Velcro fastening system, the print, and they were a "Goldilocks" diaper, i.e. discreet, yet absorbent for daytime wear and  functional for night time use for an average wetter.

[Andrew54]

I miss the old original Depend briefs that had THREE tabs each side and plastic backed, as they were my first true style adult nappy, not just a incontinence pad you needed extra plastic protection to keep in place,(Soft-eze, comes to mind)

....exactly, that's what I liked about them. No fancy prints, no color leak detector stripe, just a nice, plain white disposable 2 tape no leg gatherers, exactly like the first '70s Pampers. Putting two or three of them on was great!!!

Yep, Same here, wish P & G had never sold out!!!

For me it its the Tena slip super plastic backed.Thought it was the ideal midway between the maxi which was pretty bulky (Not always bad but sometimes wanted a bit less) and plus which couldn't take a lot, So that worked pretty well for me.
