BetterDry... I think I'm a convert!

[mattyd]

Betterdry were my go to night diaper. Then the absorbency went down a lot. Have they fixed that?

I wasn’t aware of this, when did you notice this occurring? I haven’t bought any better dry since their last supply chain crunch a few months ago. Prior to that I hadn’t noticed much differences and I was getting them almost monthly for a while. I had noticed some changes in XP 5000 but I think it was just a fluke with a bag or two.

It was last year around this time if i recall correctly. Here is a thread i started about them.

Better dry diapers change in performance.

Hello i have been using the better dry for at night and long outings. For quite some time now. Lately i noticed a lack in absorbency. To the point i have to use booster pads. Has anyone else had a problems with them. Thanks Al.

Betterdry has been my diaper of choice but I am testing the new BeDry Night from inontrol diapers I have tested a few samples and have now ordered a case to give them a real daily test an may switch to them if Betterdry has made any changes to their diapers as the prices have increased this year as well

I used to love BetterDry but lately the quality has not been up to par for my needs. BetterDry was my go-to until the MegaMax came out with more colors. I still wear BetterDry occasionally but mostly Tena, NorthShore or InControl. The recent BetterDry are not great, if I wear them to bed they work fine but if I wear during the daytime they tend to break down before I actually need to change.

Maybe if I was still wearing as only a choice I’d feel differently about my diapers, but since I leak 24/7 now (with occasional bowel accidents) I only feel comfortable with specific diapers in the daytime.

The BetterDry absorbency has not changed.

I didn't like Better Dry when I first tried them but gave them another shot this year/late last year and found out I loved them. Both the day diapers and the night diapers. I am feeling the desire to change it up a little bit though and try another diaper for a while. Back before I was urinary incontinent this would be the time that I would switch from wearing white briefs to colored/print ones or vice versa.

They're excellent. I use them on a nightly basis. One of my favorites, especially for the price

I've had a similar experience. Last time I tried them I was getting skin issues. I think a combo of having lost weight in the interim and taping them differently has meant I haven't had the issues these times around. I think they really are the best bang for buck (especially as everything's going up nowadays). I also like how compact they are. I feel the only downside is that whilst they are compact to pack for a day out, they do tend to be super bulky at the front when they're unfolded and put on. They also really swell so I do think they're probably one of the least discreet products out there as even the ultra high absorbency products tend to disperse the bulk more evenly.

Been using them at night for the past year or two since Drylife stopped stocking Abena old-style M4/L4. Not leak-proof but with a towel then plastic pants over them, I've not had a leak onto the sheets in ages. Tena Active Fit for daytime though.
