I just received my shipment about an hour ago, so this is just a quick first impression as a full-time Incontrol user:
-very familiar looks, feeling and fit. As I have come to expect from Incontrol, the BeDry feels good to wear. Very snug everywhere at once, doesn’t feel like a plastic bag the way some cheap diapers do. Might be a bit “bunchier” between the legs than the Essential, but not sure yet.
-absorption seems excellent so far
-same excellent tapes, landing zone and taping guide that I’m used to
-compared with Essential, I find the plastic shell on the BeDry to be *slightly* (again, slightly) more crinkly than what I’m used to, but it’s not bad at all. No where near something like Tranquility which are flat out loud. Based on that, so far I will have no issues with wearing BeDry anywhere I go.
-they seem to mostly disappear under my pants, which is nice. Not too bulky.
All said, I‘m very happy so far. It’s worrisome to lose a staple product, but these seem to be a great replacement, and it’s probably best as well to not have the “smells like diapers” scent of the Essential. Although I kinda liked the smell, it got a bit of attention a couple of times that I didn’t want
