Hello everybody!!
Reading the posts I´m really amazed of hearing almost everyone talk about the european diapers as "the best of the best" I mean like if they were of another division compared to the american products and that has surprised me very much. I thought the North America diapers were at least in the standard quality as euros, but it seems not! So I wanted to explain wich ones are sold here and know more about the brands sold here and there...
As I explained in recent posts the situation of the diaper market in Spain is quite special due to it´s reembursement by the public health system so we´re not the best country of EU to compare but anyway we got enough options to choose (as I explained in other posts as the government pays here the diapers for disabled with heavy incontinence, I mean just diapers not pull-ups or pads, etc. here the top quality ones normally are even out of commerce like tena maxi and it´s not allowed to announce them in the media, but just diapers the rest of products yes as they aren´t paied with public money and neither prescribed by doctors). Normally if you don´t know how it works normally doctors prescribe de incopack, that is the spanish mark used in hospitals and with good quality-price relation, almost as good as tena, the matter is that they are very noisy for its plastic and they have a kind of parfum to hide odours that is very very caracteristic and strong so if you smelled it once you can recognise it very easily!! Those deffects are the reasons that make I prefer Tena (cause you can just have one mark and kind prescribed, if you want another of the admitted ones you can send them and pass inspection but then it´s not 100% reembursed, just 90%, so for the 80 units box you pay between 8-10 american dollars). So, that spanish Incopack (day and night, and pads), Tena (super and plus, in Slip Flex or Comfort model), Molicare (I used them but a lot of time ago so I forgot the model but there´d be 2 with more or less abosrbency as the others), Depend, a few generic ones that are very very bad
, and the lindor ausonia. There I have a question to make: the 3 most popular in adults are Tena, Incopack and those Lindor. The Lindor are not plastic and witj just 2 (not 4) replaceable stickers, they are of very good quality and very comfortable, and that´s why I pay that 10% sometimes because for the sports I can still do after my spinal injury (table tennis specially, but also the gym or anything that requires sport clothes for discretion and comfort) so I prefer them to the tena in those occasions. Ihaven´t heard anyone speak about lindor or ausonia and I´d like to know if there´s something of that mark in the US because the owner enterprise is Arbora&Ausonia and it´s american, and owner of a lot hygiene women babys and incontinent products, specially dodot that is the babys diaper mark traditional in Spain, in fact a lot of people refer to diapers as "dodotis" that´s the name for babys, I suppose like Pampers in America or so. Isn´t there any Ausonia diaper sold in the US? In fact the babys ones are of very good quality and that finishes reflected in thier adult ones. Can somebody tell me that?
In other post I talked of the situation in France when I worked there but I don´t know too much the variety cause I just used tena maxis then. I´d be glad if you answer me that question, or want to talk about the variety you can buy in your living place. Thanks!!
Salutations.
PS: I think I left clear that my personal preferences are Tena And Ausonia-Lindor, for sure!!
