Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone had tried the Eurobrief? I'm thinking about getting some.
Thanks!

I tried the Eurobrief a long time ago. It was bulky and expensive. I would recommend using the Dry 24/7 instead.

Hi Diaperdan!

I'm with johnstone! It's been a long, long time since I tried the Eurobrief. When it first appeared on the US market, I think our premium diaper was the Molicare. Abena and all the very good diapers we have now were not yet on the scene. The Eurobrief touted its claim to fame with high capacity and reduced changes.... which I found true up to a point.... you know how advertising claims are!

I just checked their site and they don't offer free shipping which puts their medium diaper in $1.60 class which I feel is expensive, especially these days when you can get a "decent" diaper like the Unique Wellness Brief for around $1.00

Without checking into it, I think many of the premium diapers now can be had in the $1.20 to $1.30 range.

And there is a newbie for us in the US, with someone now importing the Tena Maxi Slip; that news was posted on this board not long ago. It caught my eye as I discovered the Tena Maxi Slip back in 1997 while on a trip to Ireland. I recall being astounded by the performance and brought a lot back with me as we had nothing in the US to compare with the European technology. Tena USA made/makes a totally different product that is not up to the Tena Slip in perfomance. There is some non-compete thing that precludes Tena USA from offering the superior European Tena. But I suspect the cost is high given the importing involved, and since we now have great diapers available, I did not pursue the Tena Slip.

And I think you'll find you won't really need to pursue the Eurobrief to get superior performance from a diaper.

Since I have got them and used them, they are not as great as the 24/7. I just got a small package. Thanks for the info!
