I refuse to buy these because the tapes are so bad. Anyone else have this problem? |

It's been quite a few years since I used Abena (Abri-Form plastic-backed), but I used to have more issues with tape failures with them, compared to other brands. I use NorthShore MegaMax exclusively now, and I have never had a tape failure with those...even when the diaper is very wet and heavy. My experience is that tapes on cloth-backed disposables don't perform as well as tapes on plastic-backed. |

Honestly, no problem here with the plastic-backed Abena L4's that I wear every night. In fact they will tear the plastic outer shell if I try to remove the main tape to take it off. Is it possible that you are getting some powder or cream on the outer shell before taping up? |

Like Mike, I had problems with the Abena tapes some years back but simply reinforced them with a thin strip of Duck tape. It should be noted that I often had to do this with other brands. However, over recent years most manufacturers have improved their tapes and I now rarely have a tape pop or pull loose from the backing. --John (double incontinent) |

Tapes on the plastic backed Abena nappies are usually pretty good; it's the 'cloth' type where the tapes just won't stick. The wings are also prone to coming detached during wear. Poor quality all round. |

I haven't used Abenas in a long time, but I bought a roll of Tyvek tape from Home Depot and used it to reinforce. It worked amazingly well. |

I'm having trouble with the bottom tape sticking and not being able to get it loose. And sometimes I pull too hard and it comes completely off. It may be user error. |
