Ok, mods forgive teh multiple posts on the same subject, but the post where i first mentioned it was more of an update summary in general, and the follow up posts talked about the diaper itself. I did not metnion where to get it.
Well, the suspense is over. For those willing to try it here it is :
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/happy-f ... 85557.html They come in 4 sizes, from XS to L. The site advertises 5 but I don't see XL in stock. The size ranges are listed in centimeters, so you will have to convert to find your size. Keep in mind also the rise of the diaper. I say this because i could techiclaly fit a size medium according to the size chart, but I don;t know if the diaper would be high enough to cover my butt. I am a 44 inch waist, and i find that the Large fits well. Keep in mind im 6 3 1/2.
By itself without inserts, the diaper is roughly comparable to a midrange disposable. The built in absorbent pad is a 4 layer microfiber pad. The beauty of this diaper is you can either wear it as a mid range diaper like that and change after a few wettings, or you can add inserts in between the absorbent pad and the PUL shell. According to the site you can even add disposable inserts. I have recnetly field tested it with flour sack towels and it works well.
They only cost 22 dollars a piece, so it is definitely worth your while to try them. They come from China, so shipping takes a while. But i dont remember waiting too long for shipping.
I already know they absorb and contain well, what I don't know is how the material will hold up over time. I put my 3 in teh wash a while ago and took note and removed any loose threads. If tehre are loose threads when they come out. then my recommendation will have to be revised.
Peace out!
