Tena Super Vs ATN

Mr Alex · 06-08-2008

Need an opinion. We need a Diaper comparison sticky IMO, where people can post, Q blank v blank. Then people can answer.

Well, Tena Super's are the pull-up kind, IIRC... so I'm going out on a limb and assuming you mean the Tena Slip range, which are the tape-ups. I can't give a comparison to the ATNs as I've never tired them, however, I'll say a few words about the Slip's.

I've only tried the Tena Slip Maxi's before and I think they're a one of the best diapers I've ever tried (and that's in competition with Bambino's, Abri-Form X-Plus and Molicare Super Plus). Of all the diapers I have tried, they fit me the best. I found them a little more discreet than the other diapers and they have a great absorbency/thickness ratio. I had no problems with the tapes at all.

In the USA Tena Supers are tape-on diapers. Their absorbancy is excellent, but Tena recently switched to an all-cloth outer covering with velcro fasteners instead of tapes. I used to wear these a lot... but I found that the velcro fasteners wouldn't hold snug enough to give a comfortable fit that didn't sag all over the place. The fasteners kept pulling off of the back of the diaper.

I haven't tried ATNs that extensively... but I say go with them b/c they are plastic backed.

That is what I was planning on DF, we have Tena's here POSSIBLY, but only if our Walgreens store has them.

Bullcrap.

Edit: ATN's all the way now I suppose.

No there not buddy. Someone didn't do there research.

In my opinion, the Tena suck now. They switched from a plastic backing to a cloth backing. I'm all about plastic backed diapers, so that rules out the Tenas.

I've found the Atn's to be very good. Highly absorbant and at a very reasonable price. I recomend them to anyone looking for a good diaper.

Thanks John, but Darkfinn already pointed it out!

TENA-Pro-(Absorbancy of an Abena X-Plus (give or take a wetting))
TENA-Con-(Paper Backed)
___________________________
TRANQ-Pro-(Decent Absorbancy, nice salmon colored interior)
TRANQ-Con-(Tapes don't un-stick, BUT DO become loose after time)
___________________________

Reccomendation: Abena Super. Highly absorbant, and not too thick for public.

Have you guys seen the northshore care thing.

Currently only size youth has cloth like rustle free exterior. I love ATN's, they are the perfect somewhat cheapo and great plastic diaper. I refuse to buy one that doesn't have plastic, if they go to cloth, I demand that everyone here that has ever used them complains. Immediately after they switch.

If by Northshore care thing you mean, 5% off, then yes.

Mr Alex · 07-08-2008

What? I mean that the X Smalls/youth are cloth covered which as we know is crap. This can't happen.
