Rope, I agree with you with the clumping issue.. I noticed that myself.. but then again, I noticed the same thing with the Dry 24/7... I did not order a case..but only a pack. I don't think i will ever be ordering extended wear premium by the case; I simply can't afford to be doing that.. at the most, id do half a case at a time.
To be fair, i notice the clumping issue with a lot of different disposable brands..my attends breathable from medicaid included. Gary's Absorbency plus used to have that issue, but he recently redesigned the absorbent core to hold to gether better.
Honestly, the jury is still out on whether the Delta Form would be a long-term, use-in-every-extended-wear-situation diaper.. I guess i like to be eclectic in my extended wear.. mixing and matching.. a little confidry here, some A+ there... Because as we all know, no product is 100% perfect.. They all have their strengths and weakness.. Pehaps the next thing to do is to compare Delta form to Northshore Care's Air Supreme..because I REALLY like the hook and loop tabs.. It makes things a cinch to use the toilet when I can.. Has anyone noticed any clumping with Abena X-Plus? I did try a sample recently and didnt have many complaints...at first I thought the tapes were iffy..but they held just fine.
Speaking of Northshore Care, I was considering them for extended wear use this summer.. since they are a cost saving alternitve to name brands like Abena and confidry, but.. i was concerned when i read that their absorbency was actutally less than the dry 24/7 and abena and Gary's X-plus..until i read on the Northshore care website that according to their tests Abena held less than what Gary's test came up with.. that convinced me to keep an open mind.. However, the fit is a bit bulky for my taste.. but hey, if they make it so i can save money but still be protected for 4 or 5 hours and not have to worry about toilets.. i can wear my pants a size up..or wear coveralls.. protection in all cirumstances trumps any other concerns..
Peace out!
Rob
