DRY 24/7

First off I don't wear such thick diapers when out and about as I find them cumbersome and unneeded as a 24/7 wearer but for when I do need such a diaper (and I always have some on hand) I always turned to the Abena X-Plus, well not anymore. I have found a new diaper for this requirement and I like it so much I thought id pass on my initial 'review', but please feel free to try them out yourself, I can assure you that you wont be disappointed.

for anyone considering a change in brand or maybe looking for a first brand I can honestly recommend going with the Dry 24/7 by DryCare. I have tested this diaper out the past week and it is by far the best diaper on the market in my opinion. (keep in mind I have been wearing Abena for quite a number of years) it is better than the Abena X-Plus in just about every way. in fact the only thing that I think the Abena has an edge with is price (of course that's due to wider distribution and better brand recognition). it is just about as thick as the X-Plus, (really only a tiny negligible difference) just as absorbent, has just as good PH and odor control, absorbs just as fast, has leg gatherers, good strong tapes (two on each side) feels great & fits wonderfully, has an elastic waist band in both front and back (abena only has a waistband in back) you don't really know just how big a difference dual waistbands can have when it comes to a comfortable secure fit until you've used a diaper with them. and the biggest plus in my book, it has the softest plastic outer layer of any diaper on the market, period.

I found that after about 10 hours (mind you I don't normally wear a diaper this long) I had no more bunching than the X-Plus. what I did find interesting is that the front had no stretching or 'warping' is that he right word? of the side panels or the front waist band (unlike the X-Plus) it stayed securely in place and had no problems with tapes coming undone. I work at night and I do a lot of up and down motion (on my knees, kneeling, standing up, squatting down, bending, lifting, etc.) and had no problems what so ever. I also had no problems with leaking (or leaking due to pressure ie: sitting) it had about as much sag as one would expect for such a diaper, I think slightly better than the X-Plus in this regard. the outer layer as well as the inside layer are so soft and itch free that I had no problems what so ever with comfort during extended wear, unlike the X-Plus which can at times become uncomfortable. despite its thickness I found it to be a fare bit quieter than the X-Plus(I know this can be a big plus for some) I imagine that is due to the unusually soft plastic outer layer. it was actually a bit more discreet than the X-Plus overall despite being nearly identical in overall size and thickness. all in all it is a wonderful diaper and more than up to the task, Abena should watch out.

it comes in only two sizes small/medium & medium/large. I don't really like the purplish color of the medium/large but it fits better than an abena and if you wear a medium or large in abena (I wear medium) it will fit great ill put money on it. it has a problem with bunching up in the middle like all thick 'overnight' or 'long wear' diapers, the X-Plus included so I cant really knock it for that. but wow what a diaper! its the first diaper I have found that can honestly compete with the X-Plus. I encourage everyone to try a sample pack of two diapers $5.00 or $10.00 for canada. and you get that cost back if you order a case. I have just ordered two cases myself.

just to be clear I am in no way affiliated with DryCare just a newly satisfied customer passing along my thoughts,

I have worn cloth diapers and plastic pants at night for many years as I sleep on my side and they tend not to leak with cloth wrapped around butt compared to disposables. However its always a hassle when I travel and always use disposable with a bed protector. I found these DRY 24/7 on line and bought a case and WOW 😮 they are thick and feel soooo nice on and when they wet they get really big. 😃 Talk about fun! 😜 They hold up to three liters and have never filled them yet! I have to waddle when I get up! 😁 Not that much into Baby things but this was awesome. Not to be worn under pants and shorts and have not tried under a skirt or kilt yet. Great for long drives too.

Where can one go to buy realy thick and absorbant diapers. I have been buying depends only because they are the only ones i can find.

I have switched to the Dry Care Dry 24/7. They do really hold a lot. I can go all night with out changing and it still holds all of my morning pee too. I normally can get one to last 8 to 10 hrs depending on how much I drink. They are very thick and do a great job of holding up during a long work day.

Does any one know if you can get this dry care in uk would love to try them

I've tried the dry 24/7 diapers and for the price they aren't bad. I like to get my diapers on tight though and can't always do that on the first try, and I found that trying to redo the tapes would rip the plastic. I would definetly agree that the plastic is very soft and they feel thick between your legs. For me though, I'll be sticking with the Bambino blanco.

Let me just start out by saying, I am in no way affiliated with Dry 24/7.

So somewhere on here, someone suggested to try the diaper Dry 24/7. I had been using tranquility ATNs, and don't get me wrong, they are great. So they are having a sale and I ordered a case of the (72 for $75 free shipping). Figured I would try em anyway, and let me tell you, worth EVERY penny. To start with they are not your traditional white, the are purple, which to me makes me feel more like a baby. They start out a little thick as it is, also, for me, a plus. Then when you do peepees in them they get even thicker and then I really realize that I am a baby. Some tests I ran...

The first test was the 10 diaper test. I like my diapers so thick that it is hard to walk if at all possible, and after ten of these, I am stranded :-D. Walking was very difficult, so I crawled for the day 😃. After the day was over and I went peepees in them, they still felt empty. So as not to waste diapers, I started filling them with water 😁. I put five gallons in these guys, and they were STILL HOLDING UP! Now I couldn't walk at all, good thing mommy was ready to bathe me and re-diaper me (hey a boy can dream right 😃). Got a bathe and the a new diaper which leads me to the next test.

I went to bed and wet my diaper (still dreaming, but did once I was awake) I was laying down and wasn't sure where my wee wee was pointing 😮 and just let nature roll. After filling up the front, my mommy was gone, so I had to stay in them. And she wasn't coming home until the following morning, I was hoping my diapers didn't leak at all!!! They didn't, I tried my hardest! I drank sooo much water and tried to fill it up, but 30 hours after it was put on, it was still going strong. I feel like a real baby in these guys. I don't have to worry about leaking with these!

Just thought I would share with the rest of you!

My your diapers contain whatever you put in them!

Ive said it on this forum dozens of times now. DryCare diapers by Dry 24/7 are the BEST diapers on the market, period. they became my high absorbency diaper of choice over Abena the first time I tried them, and I cant see that changing anytime soon. I really cant say enough about them. oh and they are better than bambino ever could be, and much cheaper as well.

I agree gentlemen the most absorbent diaper i have ever used for sure. i got my free samoles and orderd a case gret great great wow are they leak proof for sure at least so far but im gonna try a 24 hour period one day and see what happens i think its like 3 liters of holding power or somehting very wet and very thick. kudos to the makers for such a greta product to say the least

😁 i just ordered a case of them today without trying samples first. i hope everybodies opinion is good.

I am wondering how these compare to the Abena X plus or the Secure X pluses? Are they just as thick? Wondering also if the tapes on them are good?

Thanks

I very much prefer Abenas. Dry 24/7 come in only 2 sizes, and I'm right between the 2. I've tried the large, which is too big. The padding bunches up on me, and gets lose. They are very absorbant, but I personally prefer Abenas.

For me it's Dry 24/7. I have not woke up yet with a leak. If I don't have them, I won't use anything else, I end up using a Foley Catheter until I get more.

😁 i love'm except for a minor problem with the tapes not sticking very well!

After reading that, i have to try them. What website did you order them throuh?

Does anybody know what kind of box are they shipped in?

Just ordered some. Can't wait to try them out!

I've just ordered the bambino's sample pack and know it looks like i have to try another? I love the print on my new diapers and I'm compareing them to tranquility witch is supose to hold more peepee but it sounds like the 2 4 7 s don't leak..... the color alone at this point is not going to make me switch but I think that bambinos has tranquility beat in the quantity it holds[peepee].

So far I've tryed bambinos, dry 24/7, ABuniverse's [both styles]diapers, and TRANQUILITY ATN's.... I like Bambinos, there cute and absorbant

Anyone know what's up with Dry Care 24/7 diaper site? The site has been down for a long time. They say it should be back up, but that was months ago! I know they have the phone number to order up there. Has anyone placed an order lately? Are they indeed taking and shipping orders without problems?

I sent them an email asking if all was well, and when the site would be back up. That was over two weeks ago, no response from them???

I thought I would pass this along to everyone who likes the great Dry Care 24/7 diapers. The website is back up and running !!! They say there have been some changes, for the better. We will have to see...

If you want to check them out, here's the link,

Sweet. I wonder how Dry 24/7 Compares to Abena or dose Dry Give Abena a run for it's Money

I don't think I have ever been able to try the Abena's yet Kat, but I know the Dry 24/7's can take at least three good floodings, and then some.

I'm more of a cloth diaper baby anyway, but I know these have been good in the past.

Oh, and they do free shipping in the US by the way! I think it's something like $42.95 for the large size, with a package count of 18. That comes to about $2.38 per. Not bad when you figure you can go a long time between changes! That's less going to the landfill too! 😄

True, But a case must be very expensive and that's where Abena's got Dry their.

Case of 72 Dry Care 24/7's is $99.95, that is shipping included. That comes to $1.39 per diaper, or just a bit less.

The dry care are a lil better than abena in absorbency. There tapes are not as sticky though.But the tapes don't tear like abena.

All,

XP Medical is now selling a new disposable diaper. They are called the Dry 24/7 Maximum Absorbency Briefs. According to their tests, they hold 93 ounces!!!! That's 24% MORE than the Abena Abri-Form X-Plus! 😃 😃 😃

I ordered mine today... I'll post an update after I've had a chance to try a few out!!

wd

Okay, so I realized after I wrote my first post here that I didn't do my homework on the site about previous people's experiences with the Dry 24/7 diapers. They aren't a new product. However, in the interest of providing another point of view, here is my review:

ABSORBENCY:

The most important feature of any diaper is its absorbency. This is where the 24/7 really shines. I'm pleased to say that it excels in total capacity and in squeeze-out leaks. My test setup with this diaper was just a single 24/7 with one large booster (the large Abena booster sold at XP Medical). What a combination!! This diaper made it through 6 hours of small but frequent wettings that were fueled by a 64oz. Diet Mountain Dew and at least another 48oz. of plain water with no leaks and no squeeze out at all. Believe me folks, that's way more than the average person would drink in that time period. I felt like I was floating away. The rate of absorbency is also good, but like any diaper, numerous small wettings are WAY better than big floods. Don't try to hold your bladder!

BULK:

This is a pretty bulky diaper, especially when wet. It seems to me that it's just a tiny bit thinner than the Abena X-plus when dry, but definitely gets thicker than the Abena when wet.

WICKING:

This is another stand-out area for the 24/7. I'm not sure how much of the wicking performance was assisted by the booster, but during almost every change this week my diapers were wet from front edge to back edge. What that really means is that you get more effective capacity because the wetness gets pulled away from your heaviest wetting spot. This performance is closely tied to our next category...

CLUMPING:

Another stand-out area for the 24/7. I don't know about you folks, but it seems that the Abenas I've been getting for the last year or so have more clumping problems than I remember from the past. I don't know if they changed the construction or what, but I've been disappointed. The Dry 24/7s have had NOTICEABLY less clumping than any other diaper I've ever worn. Hats-off to these guys in this regard. The longer the padding stays intact, the longer you can wear. This can also be affected by how much walking you do in your diaper. While I didn't do a ton of walking, I probably did an average amount, and these diapers held up very well.

TAPES:

Okay, there's no perfect diaper, and here's the real Achilles Heal for these. The tapes stink. They have the exact same tapes as the Abena X-Pluses (blue grounding tape with clear outer tape), but they are smaller. If you think you have problems with Abena's tapes, watch out. Wearing plastic pants over the diapers helps some, as does wearing pantyhose ( 😄) or other form-fitting garments. I had tape failures on both of the first two diapers I wore. On one the tape itself physically broke in half, and on the other I had the tape pull the plastic off on the diaper. Not good. However, besides the plastic pants, this problem was also mostly alleviated by taping just a little bit looser than I normally do. The diapers absorb so well and so quickly that I didn't experience any overflow leaks as I was wetting.

APPEARANCE:

Diapers are completely white with the aforementioned blue grounding tapes. Whether or not you like that is up to your personal taste.

NOISE:

All in all I would describe these as a pretty quiet diaper. Pretty much the same as the Abenas, quieter than your average store brand.

COST:

The cost of the Dry 24/7s is comparable to other premium diapers on the market. However, I would say that due to the amount they hold and their great ability to stay together, you will get much longer term wear out of these than many other brands. Considering that, these diapers are a bargain. Also, when ordering by the case they are a little more convenient since they come 72 to a case instead of 36 like the X-Pluses. Shipping is still free on cases at XP Medical, and I usually get my diapers either 2 or 3 days after my order. Great service!

FINAL IMPRESSIONS:

In the last week I've gone through my first pack of Dry 24/7s (18 diapers). That's a very respectable 3 diapers per day. Two will get me through all of my waking hours no problem, and one at night. I LOVE THESE DIAPERS!! I have been truly converted. If anyone has questions about these diapers that I haven't answered here, let me know! I'll do my best to answer them.

Happy diapering!
