ABU cushies are my favorite brand.

What you lookin' at?!

Yeahhh, the shipping cost to me is like $50 for them. So won't be doing that! They look cute though.

Abena delta form are good to. But they are cloth like now.

Dry 24/7s, ABU Cushies, Bambino Classicos, and Abena Abri-Forms are all really nice, plastic backed diapers. The Cushies and Classicos are both AB/DL specific diapers that feature really cute patterns and tapes.

If you are looking for non-plastic for dealing with the summer, or for more subtle wearing, Abena Delta-Forms are my favorite.

Well now, you're quite the padding connoisseur aren't you? :P
But great! I've seen the Abena's available on Amazon, so they might have to be a thing! Thanks. :3

No problem! I really recommend the sample pack that ABU sells actually. Its a very good way of trying several brands to see what you like. They also have Molicares in them, which are another one of my favorite plastic diapers.

I live in Europe, so it's like another $50 for shipping. x3
So perhaps not.

Thanks though!

I really love Bambinos and I won't wear anything else. I prefer their Bellissimos

The Tena Slip Maxi are quite good. Bit on the thin side but hold quite well. They are a European brief that has finally been made available in the states thru a couple suppliers.
Another might be the Eurobrief if you can get the plastic backed version. They started using the cloth back style but couple places in the states still offered the original (plastic backed) style.
Third option should be the Abena M4s, again in the original plastic style.

Well, the Tena Slip Maxi looks like a pretty good option! I see packs of 24 are being sold on Amazon UK. I only indulge myself rarely, so that'd last me aaaaaages.
I'll look into the Abena's too. :3

I have to wear steadily, and the Tena is my choice for everyday, round the town use n such. Easily re-tapable for those times when I can make it to a bathroom in time while in public. And will hold quite well during those times that I don't.

Now when i want to be really cubby, i go with the Bambino Bellisimo. Suitably cubbish tape zone, all white otherwise, thick, and will last me over 24hrs (with my normal daily routine). It what i use for road trips actually, when changing isn't convenient till reaching the destination or hotel.

If I lived in Europe, I'd always have a supply of the tena slip maxi, euro attends, and abena plus, but definitely look into ordering the best on the planet which is the Fabine from Germany. It costs a fortune to order those shipped to the states, but probably reasonable for you, lucky... Www.buntewindel.de

Oooh. I just checked 'em out. They look good! But the price suddenly doubles at shipping, which is not ideal. Shame, really. :/
Ah well, maybe one day!

Based on the comments here, Abena seem to be a popular option.

The Tena Slip Maxi is available stateside now thru Bambino and Disposablemedicalexpress.

I know, I have a case. I get them directly though.

How much?

I think it came to .20 cheaper a piece... i don't remember, but it was not worth the trouble. It took so long and they mailed every piece individually so each box came on a different day over the course of 2 weeks. i had to pick them up at the post office too. it was very stressful overall. I'll order from bambino next time.

i seen you pic on tumblr you are cute

Abena plus is my favorite brand. Dry 24/7, and Tena are good too. But you can just get Fabine's for a lower shipping cost probably. Too expensive in the States ><

I'm a fan of Cuddlz/DryDayz myself! I'm a heavy user and they're pretty durable - I've never sprung any leaks while wearing them. I don't know how cost effective they are versus other more popular brands, but they're UK-based so they've got the convenience factor going for them as well.

Hehehe, I've been using Cuddlz up until this point too. :3 I really like them! But like you say, I'm not sure how cost effective they are either. So I'm on the hunt! I'll let you know if I stumble across anything. ;)

i like the depend breifs myself 32 to 65 my chubby rhini love them

I haven't tried all the brands out there, but as far as comfy diapers go, I usually gravitate towards Bambino and Molicare; not a fan of the plastic Bambino uses, but they're still comfy nonetheless.

dry 24/7s

Cushies don't hold a god-damned thing. They're thin as hell. All they have going for them is that they look cute.

I prefer Bambinos, as they're at least up front about how much something is going to cost when you buy it, and they ship from NorCal, which I like, since I live in NorCal. The pure white Bianco is nice since I'm not into baby stuff, plus they're thick, comfortable, and hold a good amount.

I've become a huge fan of cloth diapers. Reusable, comfortable... and THICK. (I've had three on at once; it was like wearing a small moon.) You can also get cloth-lined plastic pants if you prefer something with more of a plastic feel.

Alas, the two places I usually buy from (AdultClothDiaper and KINS) are in the U.S. and Canada respectively, so I don't know where you'd turn for good shipping options. That said, I'm sure there's something equivalent on the other side of the pond :)

just want to say its fucking horrible how they raised all the overseas freight rates... would be better to just pee on the floor at the prices charged

having said that, i hafta wear 24/7 and haz been thru a lot of diapers... what i find is, unless you are fancy prancin around in some kinda a/b outfits (nothin wrong with that) what makes the big difference is how they fit... a super duper abena the thickness of a furcoat won't hold yore pee unless it fits you, the individual furry... if you can get any kind of samples from euro companies, i'd' recommend that, would also recommend (since you are euro) the so-called "eurobriefs"

https://www.google.com/search?biw=1.....p;ved=0CFMQgxY

i have found these good for all-night use, the tapes are strong and they fit my medium-sized waist really snugly... don't leak for me and hold a lot of pee and poo

I don't remember the name of them, but IIRC there's some UK version of Bambino that's the same base diaper just with different tapes and a different brand name. If you figure that out, I'd say try them.

Bambino and Abena, in my experience, are both good - I'd choose Bambino over Abena, but it depends on your price point; abenas are slightly cheaper I think. They do both seem to have the padding inside start to fall when worn too long, however.

The last I ordered was a bunch of ABU diapers, and yes while they don't hold much they're perfectly serviceable with a stuffer in them, Unique Ultra booster pads. Bambino's website has basically the same thing as the Quadro stuffer. (If you do get these, take note to adhere the ends to the sticky adhesive side - I find that otherwise the stuffer has a tendency to break at the end if the ends aren't secure. I'd assume the same thing to happen to Bambino.) The ABUs I found, with their one tape, were easier to fit my fat ass into than some of the other brands, & that's why I chose them. That and their price compared to ordering only a few Bambinos vs a few of those...

On the Dry 24/7, I tried as sample of theirs. They were HUGE, to the point where there were no pants I could ever wear to cover these outside of the dorm; that being said, I found they performed poorly on wicking, but on the flip side they stayed true to their name. The pee didn't absorb all around through the padding and it just kind of stood there, but still when it was the point of leaking (for what it was) the inside was hardly even damp.

I don't know if they have Molicare there, but they're an alright mid-line diaper that's purple.. They're good on wicking to use up that whole back (and purple!), but they don't hold as much as the Abena or Bambino. Did I mention they're purple?

I have always wanted to try out the Tena line that they manufacture in Europe. I'm not even sure which "model" is the top-of-the-line one to look for, but the pictures I've seen make them out to be amazing - the rival of Abena.

I don't know how much it'd cost for you in the UK compared to us in the USA, but you could look into Fabines. They're supposedly god tier, obviously only something like that could be made from German engineering. They're like a cushie fused with a bambino but made better; they've got what looks like a great AB design. I'd love to wear one at some point...
Here's a video comparing them to the other German-born Abena: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2sDHYSvxGY

I think possibly the UK version of Bambinos is DryDayz. Possibly. I can't be 100% on this, but they're my regular brand and I really like 'em! They can be quite pricey, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

I'm sure I've seen Molicare available here, and purple is my favourite colour! But I haven't heard that they're amazing, just kind of ok.

As for Tena, it was thanks to this journal that I ordered some of the Slip Maxi's. :o I went for mediums with I kinda regret now as they're a bit of a stretch for me to get into. Not impossible! But at the limit of snugness, I'd say. Definitely will go for large next time!
First impressions: I thought they looked really thin and not really up to the job, HOWEVER after rigorous tests (one of which is currently still in progress ohohoho *crinkle*) I found that they swell and balloon hugely with no leaks. Fair to say I was and am impressed at their capacity! Oh, and they have purple on them, so that's nice.

I did try and find some Fabines initially, but the shipping cost more than the product so I was like "NOPE".

Thanks for your lengthy reply! Very informative. :3

So even just across continent, not inter-continental, shipping is prohibitively expensive huh? Well darn.

I know I saw one of the websites that they might end up carrying Fabines, but I don't know whatever happened to that. I know they were on hold for more production runs, but never saw if they came back up to stock.
