To Mikejames,
How do you compare the betterdry to other diapers on the market namely the northshore supreme?
I was using Northshore Supreme Lites as my daytime diaper. They're awesome. So are the regular supremes. They wick really well. They're confidence inspiring for sure.
For me, the BetterDry just have a better and more comfortable fit. The plastic and padding are also softer and the BetterDry leak guards are taller than any wall Trump cold dream to build....also front and rear elastic waistband as well as really effective leg gathers.
The Northshores, while fantastic from a utility standpoint, are very unrefined in my opinion. The padding is super stiff, and breaks apart after several hours, the plastic is rough and cheap feeling, and there are no elastic waistbands. Considering the price per diaper is nearly the same, the Better Dry are really just SO much better. It's like comparing Volkswagen to a Mercedes. Volkswagen makes a damn fine car, high end German engineering, but Mercedes is just better and more refined.
This diaper could easily be my one and only diaper forever.
I got home from work last night and my diaper was soaked. I wanted to go for a run and just wanted to bang it out while motivated rather than take time to change. I ran 2 miles in a damn-near-capacity BetterDry and it held up just fine. Padding didn't break apart, it was still snugly taped, and it handled another accident as I was walking up my stairs from the garage. I fully expected that it would be the straw that broke the camels back and it would leak badly, but nope. Not a drop escaped. It was 8pm, five hours into this diaper, near capacity, after a 2 mile run and it still performed!
