I am debating buying between absorbency a+ level 3 or 4, or Northshore plastic briefs. What are your opinions? I am around a 34 inch waist should I go medium or regular size on the A+??
mattyd said:Get samples before buying either. I like the Northshore Care Briefs more, but you have to let them decompress and you knead them a bit, otherwise they are a bit stiff. They hold an amazing amount of liquid. I do use the absorbency plus 3 off and on for morning diaper use and use the northshore ones in the afternoon. The cost of the northshore ones are a lot less, especially if you use the free shipping code NSC87. Northshore also has the standing leg gatherers. The benefit I see with the absorbency plus ones is they have a middle size that works better for those with thick thighs or have a waist that is kind of in-between large and medium.
mattyd said:A+ Level 4 is $90 for a case of 64 ($1.41 per diaper), Northshore Care is $78 for a case of 60 ($1.30 per diaper). I had mentioned that with the free shipping promo they end up being cheaper, if you pay shipping, its about $89 a case, makes the cost about $1.48 per diaper. They've been having the free shipping promo for a while, so with that, it does actually become cheaper. With the size large. It is a bit more for the northshore diapers I suppose, but its only $1.40 for A+ and $1.44 for the Northshores.
Azie said:Don't discount the A+ because of lack of leak guards. The level 4's are one of my go to day diapers. Really don't miss the standing leak guards on them myself.
I never had tape issues with both the first and second gen absorbancy+ diapers. That said, the refastenable tapes for the second gen are great. It's not that much for a pack of 8, so definitely worth giving the levels 4s another try imo.Lorica said:I tried a sample back before Gary fixed the tape issues, etc. They better now? I typically won't use a diaper for daytime wear without the leg guards because I have to be active at my job.
