I currently use the NorthShore Megamax line-up (all 3 permutations) for disposable diapers. On my last order I requested samples of their Supreme diapers, as I have not used them since they released Megamax. I was surprised at how well the Supreme worked for me.Sadly, manufacturers are either looking at means of reducing the cost of diapers to meet the demands of Institutional buyers for ultra-low cost diapers or huge capacity diapers. With hope, 2024 will bring some sanity to the industry.
Here are the attributes that make Megamax better than Supreme:
fuller fit, wider crotch, higher leak guards, tape landing zone, plastic backing on the original contains orders better.
Here are the attributes that make Supreme better than Megamax:
plastic backing on the original is very soft, absorbency, wicking, fast absorbency, excellent wicking, and did I mention absorbency & wicking.
Here are the attributes that make Megamax worse than Supreme:
much less discreet, slow wicking leads to leaks with multiple heavy voids leaving much of the diaper unused.
Here are the attributes that make Supreme worse than Megamax:
narrow crotch, second use tapes, very hard pad that must be overly "massaged" before wear leading to clumping during extended wear
Megamax is manufactured by a factory in China; Supreme is manufactured by a factory in Europe. If Northshore had full control over their manufacturing process they could combine the best elements of both diapers into one. But neither factory will retool without great expense or give up their pad "formula", so NorthShore carries two excellent but very different diapers types under their brand.
There are never simple answers with the expense of manufacturing. Either you create your own manufacturing and assembly line because you have the numbers or you rely on other companies to manufacture the various widgets to produce your product.
That sounds rather... kinky!I am anticipating some unique changes in 2024!
