Ok.. I am a fan of the Absorbency plus..dont get me wrong.. i like the value..I like the cushiny comfort of the padding.. I like the gel core...
my issue is with the tapes.. they don't seem to stick as well ever since they went to the refastenable tapes. I know they work well for some people, but I actualyl find them harder to stick than the orginal tapes. I suppose that is a distinct advantage of the clothbacked diapers with the hook and loop tabs. It seems clear that a diaper with a frontal tape panel would be more ideal for me.. which is why I am trying out Secore X-Plus.. still waiting ont hem to arrive...they did not send them via fed ex like XP does.. but, then agin..shipping from them is free on bags, and cases..just takes a bit longer..

For those of you who use the superabsorbent extended wear types (Abena, Molicare, Dry 24/7, Absorbency plus) which brand has the best tapes? I do remember when I sampled Abena X-Plus, the tapes held up well enough. Any input would beaprpecated..and yes, i am a ware of the supplemntal taling option.. id like to use that as a last resort :)

Peace out!

Rob

Believe it or not, the Northshore Supreme Briefs, in my opinion, has great tapes.

Hi all

I wear taped Attends Active Slip/Diaper during the day and the two tapes hold really well and have not let me down even after a refixing. At night I wear a traditional Attends Regular Plus Slip/Diaper initially I had tape issues however this was down to user error not the Diaper I now have no problems with four tapes.
