Bambino Diapers?
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:15 pm
Hey all...
Have y'all heard about these Bambino brand adult diapers? They are apparently marketted as a diaper for AB/DLs... my fiancee showed me their website the other week and begged me to order some. The pricing is decently competitive with the Abena X-plus that I normally wear, so I bit the bullet and ordered a case.
They came in yesterday... discreetly shipped in a plain brown box. At first glance, yeah, they're really childish. The tape landing zone in the front is printed with an infantile design in pastel colors. I'm so-so on it but my fiancee thinks it's cute.
On the other hand I have to admit that these are the softest, most comfortable diapers that I have ever worn. I have no idea what they do during the manufacturing process but the outer plastic shell is very smooth and supple... and the inner lining is almost quiltlike and actually feels very good against the skin. The tapes are superbly durable and the front landing zone means you can refasten them many times for the perfect fit.
As far as capacity goes I am very impressed. I would say they are close to Abena X-plus. They must use a lot of gel in the stuffing because they are a bit slow to absorb... but if you give things a few moments to soak in they will actually hold more than you initially think. Unlike some other products this diaper actually spreads the wetness around so nearly all the padding is used for absorption. I've seen a lot of diapers that tend to keep the wetness in one spot so when you change the diaper is actually only about half used. One lasted me from 8 this morning to 2 this afternoon, and I actually indulged and had two extra glasses of sweet tea with lunch. It probably could have held for a bit longer... but I didn't want to push things and risk a leak at work.
I know that most folk here aren't big fans of the whole AB/DL persuasion... but whomever designed this particular diaper actually got a lot of things right. So if you can get over the childish prints and want something new maybe you should give 'em a try.
