I'm sure there is a post on here for this topic but I'm lazy and am just looking for a quick answer.
Are there any plastic backed disposable diapers left? I prefer wearing cloth but I do wear disposables when travelling and for convenience and all I am able to find are the so called cloth backed disposable diapers. It also seems as if Depends has been taking over the market in the stores. It is either Depends or the store brands and they are all cloth backed diapers. I find the cloth backed diapers do not work as well as the plastic backed diapers. They tend to weep around the leg openings much sooner and the velcro type fasteners do not hold as well as the tape fasteners.

Very surprised your having trouble finding plastic backed diapers over in the USA it's the other way round in the UK.
Most diapers over hear are plastic backed which I agree is better than the material backed ones.
I think all the ones made by Tena are plastic backed which I will be switching over to in April.
Hope you find some.

Hi DDS,

Plastic-backed disposables that I use, or have used. include: Molicare Super Plus, Wellness Superio Signature, Tranquility ATN, Absorbency Plus, and Tena Slip Maxi. The Tena Slip Maxi is rather pricey whereas the Absorbency Plus and Tranqulity ATN are less expensive. Most of these will not be readily available at your local drugstore and will need to be ordered. I prefer to use XPMed as the owner, Gary, also is incontinent and has provided very helpful information as well as good service and good products.

Good luck.

--JD

I use Abena AbriForm M-4's from XP Medical. They also have their own A+ but they aren't as good for me
