I got a case of the tena slip maxi (large size, new "clothlike sides") recently from XP Medical, that just started carrying them here in the USA. They currently stock the original in small, and the new in med and large. I'd have definitely preferred the original. I don't like the new ones either. Too bad I'm defintely not a small.
So all of you out there (in the americas) looking for a good small diaper, there you go. Get them from XP Medical before they run out.
Wearing one now... the center padded area is amazing, both the outer shell material itself and the padding are VERY soft, but the sides... ick... .it's this weird sheer material. It feels just like the "sheers" people have up in front of their drapes. It's stiff, super thin, and completely rigid. (no stretch) It may be breatheable, but has a terrible feel to it, and bunches up like nothing I've ever seen before in a diaper wing.
