Tapes not sticking

Does anyone find that sometimes you run across bags of disposibles that the tape doesn't stick very well and you have to use other means to get them taped. ???

I have found that clear packing tape is the way to go it sticks like hell and is clear so as not to ruin the look

I use Tena Supers with a large insert and a booster pad. Their tape used to be bad, and I started using filiment tape. I buy the 1 inch stuff from Staples and add 6 tapes to the diaper. The filiment tape doesn't stretch and holds real well. I've also used it on Depends as well. Tena recently changed their strips to a kind of velro and it works pretty good. but I like the fit I can create with the extra tapes.

Of course on plastic diapers you can use duct tape, as it holds well, but it also rips the plastic.

Electrical tape comes in many colors, hold to plastic backings well, and won't tear the diaper when you pull the tabs.

On the cloth-like diapers, I have problems with the tapes ripping from the back of the diapers. I use a stapler. staple so the smooth side of the staple faces towards your body. Works perfect.

1. make sure your hands are clean and dry

2. only touch the outer edge of the tape where there is mo adhesive

3. don't try and tape the diaper to tight or your natural movement will stretch and un-stick the tape.

4. remember that temperature and humidity affect the adhesive, especially humidity.

I have the experience of very sticky tapes rather than the unsticky tapes 😁 When I want to refasten the diaper, the tapes make a loud noise >😢

Try duct tape. And make sure if you are using rash cream or powder that your hands are clean.

Only had this problem if I have reused the tapes. When I have a disposable on it stays on until soaked and at leak point!! I've never had a problem - providing I fixed it properly in the first place (I've had a couple come undone when I haven't stuck them down properly, but that's my fault!!!).

I tend to use Lille Supreme Maxi or Abena X-plus when in disposables - brilliant!

Cloth is best and pins only come undone when it's too tight and not properly fastened!

I use electrical tape seems to work fine comes in different colours.

I keep duct tape just for that , it also comes in different colors , I use white.

Cheap clear packing tape over the tabs works great. 😁

One thing I have found that helps out is to rub the tapes for a few seconds each after taping up the nappy. For me this seems to reduce the chance of the tapes popping.

I have this problem sometimes. Make sure your hands are clean from any oils, powder. I use disposable gloves to prep me and my diaper. I fit the diaper the best that I can without touching any part where the tabs go. Before I apply the tabs I remove the gloves. I also wash my hands good before any of this. I also use a small stapler to the tabs. This holds my diaper in place all day, nice and tight.

I would guess that we've all had the "bad tape" experience - ones that just pop off when they feel like it, leaving us with an unfastened diaper, usually at a very bad time. I've also had the other end of the tape to come unglued - I mean the end that is fastened to the diaper - usually in generic store brands. This is a problem - no choice but to chuck the diaper and start over. Has anyone else had this happen?

White duct tape works for me

Yes. It usually tends to be consistent across a pack, and to a lesser degree it will be consistent across a brand (for example I've always had more problems with Bambinos than any other brand).

Duct tape or packaging tape is what I use when diaper tapes aren't holding.

I had a problem with some Tranquility ATN's

I also had trouble with ATN's some time back. I informed my supplier and they replaced them at no charge to me.

I had two really old packs of "Tena slips" and they would not stick at all, I gave the pack a good look over and decided it was because they were almost 8 years old and every tape was affected.

As others say, make with the duct tape or even sellotape worked well.

In the past I have had tapes not sticking on my diapers. I agree that duct tape does work well when this happens.
