What are your favorite brands of Diapers?

I like Abri-Form Original X-Plus in medium with 2 Abena Abri-Let Maxi boosters. Has anybody tried Bambino diapers? Is http://bambinodiapers.com a trustworthy web site?

I like Bambinos for disposables, but they're expensive and shipping to where I live is expensive, so I don't use them very often. So I usually end up buying Walmart's diapers, which aren't bad, they're very soft and all, but they're thin, so I usually double them up. I often put a Longs Drugs diaper (same as CVS) inside and the combination feels great. I also like to wear cloth diapers with plastic pants. Gabbys makes great cloth diapers and I just got some all-in-one diapers from Yuyun in China, which are also very comfy.

In disposables, it is Abri_form Plus (40oz.) or heavy nighttime gauze cloth diapers from ACD on the internet. i like cloth for both the feel and number you can add. i like the plastic for the naughty crinkle of the plastic

Ilove secure X-plus work just as well as abenas and tape are better and can be refastened.

I like disposable diapers with plastic front on them, with very cute designs, any stores sell them. in pink would be nice.

I love the bambino brand diapers! Really, I'll most any diaper that is very absorbent and is somewhat bulky though.

I agree that Abena X-plus is the very best disposable diaper. I wear a size medium and they will hold 3600 ml. Larger sizes will hold even more. That is a lot of pee. :😃

I guess my favorite is a pin on cloth diaper, with an attends with the waistband over that, works very well.

Abena X-Plus and Tranquility ATN

Abena abri-form pads. They are an X-Plus diaper without the side plastic and tape. I wear them inside compression shorts. It's as good as a diaper. If you're wearing a diaper, and it gets out of the absorbent stuff, it will leak through the plastic anyway. So why hassle with the tapes?

I like the abena abri-form x-plus as well because of the absorbency and thickness. I have worn several different brands and those are the best I have found. I would love to do cloth and plastic pants, but I have to dispose of what I use and can't be having them in the laundry with kids around.

I am fortunate to live about 30 mins from the Comco plant in North St. Paul. I go over there 2 or 3 times a year and usually buy 3 pairs at a time. I was so disappointed when they discontinued the colors but I just love the way their pants fit and feel.

Even though I wear disposable diapers I always wear plastic pants with the diapers. I just love the sound of the words "diapers and plastic pants".

Check out hdis.com and dry247.com both have good choices

I know it sounds silly, but I like Depends because they AREN'T as absorbent as the others. When I pee, it makes me feel very warm and if I'm worried about leaks, I just make sure to wear a nice pair of plastic pants to help keep everything but me clean.

Most of the time I wear Depends, but only because of its availability. I've also had some good results with Assurance diapers, which is Walmart's store brand. They're a little thicker than Depend but don't have the plastic backing I like. If I decide to wear anytime other than the night I'd wear Assurance because it doesn't make any noise.

I desperately want to try some other brands, but the ones I want to wear can only be bought online. That can't happen until I move out, because I don't want to draw attention with a big cumbersome box coming to my door; my family tends to ask too many questions. My friend has recently switched to Tena briefs but she orders online and wears the small size anyway, too small for me.

Have resigned myself to 24/7 usage. Hoping to make the best of it, I'm circling in on Abena incontinence products.

Does it make sense to start with Abri-Form Super during the day? Then X-Plus for over night?

I do not leak continuously. Rather, I let go when my bladder is about half full. So I'm concerned about leaks.

Also considering booster inserts. Are they worth the extra protection? I am now able to change often, so booster pads could reduce the cost.

Also, would Abena Fixing Pants be helpful, especially when going out? The cotton or mesh option? Concerned about appearance and sagging when wet.

Finally, at night with an X-Plus and a booster pad, do you think rubber pants would be wise as a last barrier? Or a bed pad?

Thank you for your input.

Personally, I prefer the abena super over the x-plus. I find this diaper to be more comfortable and the tapes seem to hold better.

OK, you seem sincere, so here goes with a straight answer.

Supers are very nice and comfy, like Tx said the tapes seem to hold better, maybe because there is less to hold. They leak every time on the third serious wetting, and sometimes when you sit down after the second serious wetting. You say "half-full then let go" so you might make it to 4 to 6 times before they leak.

Extras make it to 4 plus wettings with no leaks. Very nice diaper, very comfortable.

X-Pluses are very bushy. Comfortable, too, esp after the first wetting, after which they mold to your personal body shape very nicely. The tapes sometimes do unexpectedly give out, which can be very inconvenient. But for absorbancy and leak-free confidence, they are hard to beat.

At night, I wear X-Plus with a Abri-Let booster, normal "briefs" underwear over the diaper, then Suprima plastic pants over that, then a pair of lycra enhanced boxers over all.

I often add a layer of tape over the top nappy tapes for security. Had the tape give out on me one night when I rolled over with fairly unacceptable consequences!

That much nappy and pants results in a very cosy fit, and, most importantly, a little bit of absorbency from the underwear outside the diaper-inside the plastic pants. Disposables tend to leak a little bit at night, just from the fact you are in a prone position. Wetness tends to end up under the side panels where there is no absorbant material, then find it's way to the surface, and then to your mattress. It is not like it is a major leak, but even a tablespoon or pee on your bed = extra laundry. Layering like this works 95%+ of the time for me. Plastic pants with no absorbent layer between the diaper and the plastic pants does not solve the problem - it just takes a bit longer for the pee to find its way to your mattress.

So, buy all 4: Super, Extra, X-Plus and Abrilet. They all have a useful place, and you'll learn what youwant to wear at any time to manage comfort, discretion, and security with how easy it will be to change your nappy.

Thank you for the great advice!

Yes, the challenge with disposables comes at night, particularly since I sleep on my side. I had hoped that X-Pluses could cope, and I'm sure they will be better than my present brands.

I would recomend this with a bed pad aslo. this helps with laundry for me. Leaks happen even to the best of them . if the bris do not work then another option is cloth diapers. Now these will absorb even side sleeping but are extremely bulky and very cold in the morning. They defintly let you know your in a diaper and it is wet. only draw back to them. Ohh well hope we helped you out falcon.

Can abena's be bought in the store if so what kind of store?

specialty store or supermarket?

XP Medical at

I think Abena are the best disposibles, that said, I like cloth better, but not always practical.

We've prettymuch only got Walmart brands and the Walgreens/CVS/etc. type brands that always seem to be the same, and worse than even the Walmart brands...

I have tried every brand and type out there. And the winner is abena x plus diapers hands down. They are thicker and hold more with no leaks. I can go twelve hours with out a change and no leaks. They do get pretty heavy by that time. I have never seen a diaper that thirsty before. Cost a bit more but worth it in the long run.XP medical sells them on the net.

Even the Abena pullup holds a ton, I got a sampler of 2 of those, 2 super, and 2 x-plus and they lasted through quite a few wettings

I've been wearing abena super's 24/7 for several years, and they work great. The xplus absorb more, but are more bulky and visible during the day. As a student at college, the last thing I need is to be sporting a huge diaper bulge. You just have to be careful not to drink too much at night, or it's quite possible to wet through a super, but I don't recall having that problem with the xplus.

My favorite are the Attends with 3 tapes and the elastic waistband. I also sometimes like the Bambinos and Molicare, but 90% time use the Attends.

I am currently trying abenas xplus medium for the first time tonight. I love the big comfy feel, it is like a big hug on my bottom. I have worn depends for a long time, but these will leak if I am not in the right position. So I am excited to see the outcome when I wet tonight.

Normally I wear Goodnites however I sometimes use Huggies Junior but they are a bit small for me.
