Abena discontinuing a diaper

I just saw on xpmedical.com that Abena is discontinuing their X-Large Abriform X=Plus diapers with the plastic cover. They are replacing it with the X-Large Abriform AirPlus X-Plus diapers with the cloth cover. I hope that this isn't going to be a trend with them. I just ordered two bags before they are all gone.

They also had the new attends extended wear diapers. They are supposed to be the highest capacity Attends available in the US. I wonder how they compare to the Attends Special Care available in Europe.

It seems everyone is trying the cloth cover and I personally hate them I love the crinkle of plastic and the cloth lets out alot of odor

Wow, I didn't know this. That stinks.

Oh my that is very concerning and disappointing. I wear the Abena Abriform X-Plus Original. They have the plastic backing. Which keeps odor in and prevents leaks far better. I realize the cloth like covering is actually overlayed on a thinner plastic but they still dont hold fluid well and they emit odor more. I predict a catastrophic decision in the future for the rest of the Abena Diapers as well. I feel they will discontinue all plastic backing because it would cost more to keep both styles than to have just one. I will be forced to stop buying Abena Products and swith back to Molicare Super. This is a Tragedy. I think all those in favor of keeping the plastic backing should begin to send email to Abena customer relations or feedback email address or street address to corporate. Otherwise I see it inevitable that they do away with plastic for all diapers.

No good that is but it seems almost inevitable that cloth cover will take over just like it has with most baby diapers, ohhh how much i am disturbed by this undertaking of events that will lead to many icky diapers in the future, but still i'm sure there will still be few that will hopefully keep the plastic style ???

I also had some problems with the tapes in Abena Air Plus.

I don't like them at all. If they used velcro, it might be the best diaper.

I really what to try those... the Abena air. Do you like them? do they have the velcro tabs? or just the ragular sticky kind?

Cloth covers always seemed more prone to leakage to me...guess I'll just pick up some plastic pants

Maybe im used to wearing baby diaper, i think that cloth like cover is good cos it let hot air inside the diaper to flow out is also good for the skin. 😄

Whilst I used to be an extra large, I am now a medium, so it doesn't really affect me at the moment, but I will definately be stocking up just in case. I used to wear Attends diapers, but they changed to the horrible 1 tab per side things, and the fit is just awful.

I like each kind of cover for different occasions. Cloth covers to wear in public and plastic around the house. You just can't beat that plastic rustle but I also like be discreet sometimes.

Really sucks the x plus was awesome

I saw it too. I also order two cases and thinking about a couple more. That will really be sad. I won't mind at night because I wear plastic panties over my diaper but during the day, it just won't be the same. I don't like molicare but may have to switch back. XP is great, that where I get mine as well.

Durring the week i was in drugstor.com to gget a pack of abena,when i got thers it said product no longer there. i went to a few other sits & fond abena products r dissapearing from some sites. Im wondering if they stoped making them or stoped shipping to the US. if anyone knows what going on let me know .

I'd check either xpmedical.com or abaip.com which is where I get my Abenas from.

Mr Evans at XP medical assures me that the warehouse is stocked full and abena is the top seller.

I know XP medical has them & Continence Connection. but some of the regular site like drugstore.com had them for years & now gone same with magicmedical & a few other sites.

Does anyone know if they are sold in physical stores? preferably in socal?

Just went back to drugstore.com and they have listed the abenas again. Hopefully, it was just some kind of mistake or computer error that made them disappear for awhile. Their prices are comparable to other places, but they have some better rates on their shipping prices.

Drugstore.com is owened by riteaide corp. You could ask them to carry them at your local store.
