Bambino Diapers

I'm not sure if Bambino is a sponsor of this site or not so it may get pulled. I have been wanting to try these for a while. I have been using Abena's so I think I can make a fair comparison. First, dealing with Bambino was excellent, no complaints. The product shipped quickly and in a box that didn't tell the world that I just got a shipment of adult diapers. Second, the quality is every bit as good as any diaper out there except Molicare and Abena. They are not nearly as thick. That said, they are reasonably thick. Maybe with a booster I'll get that exceptional feeling I get with my Abena super X plus. I purchased the all white ones and not the pretty baby on the front ones. I haven't had the chance to wet them yet but will and will follow up with you all. If they don't pool in the croch as do most cheap diapers when you let go after two or three beers, they pass my test. I hate to sit down and have the puddle of pee squish out the sides. I like the look and the feel and the tapes are great. Would I buy them over an Abena? I'll let you know in a couple of days but for you all that are still using Depends, Attends, whatevers, you will really like them. For us that use Abenas, the jury is still out.

Let me answer that.... Go buy some more Abenas maybe it was just me but i didnt find the Bambinos to be that grand a product true they where fun diapers but i seemed to need to change a lot quicker in them than with the X-plus. the whole tout that they swell as u wet i didnt notice any more swelling than with the x-plus... all in all a nice "fun" diaper but ull get more enjoyment for long wears outta the Abenas.

That said a buddy from a diff site turned me onto a new AB/DL diaper maker ABUniverse.com who make both a day and night time diaper, the night times large tape zone is emblazoned with a cartoonish dragon logo that is ABUs own. Its around as cheap looking as the Bambinos with the baby print looks stuck on and cuts off suddenly. but the day time diaper is modeled after the Pampers baby dry and looks like a decent product possibly even on par with an Abena. I have not yet ordered a pack so i can't do more than speculate as to the quality from there online info and images. One of the biggest things I've noticed is that the inside unfolded shot shows predominate honey comb channeling in the absorbent core should keep the padding where it belongs and route flow nicely allowing one to flood it w/o worry. I do plan to order a sample in the immediate future and should have an actual review soon.

Well, the data is in. I won't by another Bambino. I have to hand it to their marketing department though, they sure made it sound like a great product. Frankly, it is no better than any of the cheap drug store varieties that you find at wal-mart, k-mart or any chain. For me, its a two time diaper, wet once, wet twice and change. With Abena I can easily go four or more and, and this is big, the Abenas never-never pool in the crotch. When I wet the Bambino for the third time last evening I had a pool that if I had sat down would have squished out and made a real mess. Good think I only bought eight! Bambino, bamzoodled me!

For those who are doubting bambimo (myself included) they have apparently redesigned the absorbent core of the diaper. it is supposed to be softer, more absorbent and much thicker. likely still not worth the price they charge, but I think its worth checking out if you have been dissatisfied with them like I have. I will withhold my judgment until I can try them. as far as I can see the website does not mention the redesigned core, But I assume all diapers shipped are of the new updated kind.

The new 'core' of the diaper is alot softer and i find they pool alot less that the old style. but as far as absorbancy goes, the abena x-plus still takes the cake hands down.

But i definately prefer to wear the bambinos because the tapes are 10x better and i find them alot more comfortable

Its not the tapes. the tapes on bambinos are no different than any other diaper. its that plastic strip across the front that covers the baby print (also on the bianco white diaper) that allows the tapes to stick so well. that plastic strip affords plenty of grip for the tapes unlike the soft plastic of the outer shell.

Yes, i am aware of that. but its still the functionality of the tapes that is a whole hella lot better than pretty much any other diaper out there!
