Zenute,
I looked on the XPmedical website under the AbriFlex pullups and found that indeed, they are a cloth backed product. I also looked at products by Attends and ProtectionPlus. They were all cloth backed. Come to think of it, I have never used a plastic backed pullup. I have never seen them anywhere, but I don't really shop for pull on garments. I am a disposable brief kind of guy for my incon issues. I just find them easier so I don't have to remove my clothing. I think the market for cloth like backing is greater in the pullup sector than the taped brief sector.
To answer your question on the reliability of the cloth like backing....I found that it feels "wetter" than a plastic backed garment. It gets cold when wet. I didn't care for it. Also, it gave me a rash rubbing between my legs. I prefer the plastic backed briefs because they glide more across my skin. The worst rash I ever had was caused by an Airplus. Since I switched to the original plastic backing, I have not had the problem since. I do have a standing prescription for diaper rash cream just in case though.
