Hey all,
I'd just like to share my expereinces with you over this past summer when it comes to product selection. I'm sure i mentioned this before, but I thought I'd repost it for people who are reading this forum for the first time. I have learned that sticky tape tab diapers, while usually reliable in the fall and winter and spring, don't stick as well in the summer. I have found this to be the case regardless of brand. A+, Abena, and Confi Dry all had hte same sticky tab issues.. which is why next sumemr i plan to use Northshore Care Air supreme exclusively. During adult camp, i ordered a bag of ConfiDry because I was worried that he northshore care woudlnt be absorbent enough. The funny thing is... most of the times that i had a leak where the underwer, onesie or pants got wet.. I was wearing a Confidry! I think the problem stemed from needing a better taping technique to get a good seal at the legs. if i get that, then Confi Dry are hard to beat. Northshore care were less complciated in that regard.. just tug the brief to activate leak guards.. fold in half to get a gutter shape.. apply, and youre good to go. I am EXTREMELY pleased with how well the Northshore care performed.. I never had any clumping issues... I did have some leaks..b ut htey were contaiined by the plastic patns/underwear combo, most of the time. I did not have any incidences where the front of my pants or the side of my leg were soaked.. at most it was a spot. Note to self.. wear dark colored jeans
The biggest drawback to Confiy dry is this: once the brief is on, it stays on... if itry to cinch it down to use the toiliet, i risk ripping it. if it gets too full. the plastic backing strectches and tears and leaves a big mess.. SAP crystals everywhere.. I NEVER had this probelm with northsore care..
Peace out!
Rob
