The Tranquility booster pads sound like I should try them.

How does the thickness compare to, say, the Abena Normal and Maxi?

And what is a good supplier?

Thanks.

They are thinner but are shaped in an hour glass shape so the cover more area. I get them off Ebay. There is an auction for them right now. The item number is 290113022492 They are $27.99 plus shipping for a case of 120 :D .......................Sandy :)

I have to agree I like both boosters! The Abena is thick, for sure, but makes the Abena X-Plus diaper good for all day, no matter what! And no holding back on drinking fluids, enjoy as much as you like!

The Tranquility top liner is excellent, as Sandy points out, and it fits better in most all diapers....whereas the Abena is best fit in the Abena diaper. Tranquility does a great job without adding a lot of objectional bulk to your diaper.

The Ebay auction Sandy points out for $30 for a case of 120 was most attractive until I saw the $20 flat shipping fee for the US, making it $50.

So many times I find the shipping to be deal killer, not only on Ebay but a lot of on-line stores where you find something you want and then find it cost as almost as much as the item for shipping! Grrrrrrrrrrrr....don't you lust hate that!

Checking a retail source, the usual price of the case of 120 with shipping can be about $70 but Magic Medical has the pads on their site for $55 which is only $5 more than the auction price of $50. So go figgure....you do have to shop carefully trying to get deals!
