I've just had them delivered, and I must say they are pretty good, they are plastic backed, and have quite a good crinkle , not too loud but you can hear it when you walk, the plastic is very smooth, they look quite similar to Abena in their design with stripes going down them with Gompels written down the front, which I think is the wetness indicator, they have leak guards and waistband elastic on the legs and back, I've given them 2 medium wetting's and had no leaks as of yet!
My only grumble are the taps are quite weak, not the stickyness as they haven't come off yet but when I put on the first nappy, the tab broke, but I think that was probably me trying to put them on too tightly as I like the feeling of a tight feeling nappy.
As far as UK nappies go these are pretty good, probably not on par with the Tena's but I still recommend them
Give them a try see what you think.
Hope that helps.
