I have of late been singing the praises of the Seni Quatro diaper, and it is in fact a very good product: it is absorbent as heck, wicks very quickly, and doesn't leak easily. However, this week I have discovered a fairly serious fly in the ointment.
If you are more or less sedentary, as in sleeping or sitting for the most part, then I think this diaper might just be the best thing on the market. And that has been, basically, my life in recent months, so it did not occur to me to question what would happen if I were walking much of the time I was wearing it.
Remember, I'm IC so the diaper is either wet or it will be soon. And now I am on vacation, stopping at national parks and other interesting sites that have me leaving my car and wandering around for significant amounts of time. And what I have found is that the Seni has a serious sagging problem. Most cloth diapers do, I'm told, but I had never witnessed it with the Seni before. But it is bad. I mean it has literally fallen off beneath my shorts twice. And when it isn't THAT bad, I'm pulling it up all the time, which can't look that great from the outside.
I'm the first to admit that my shorts are too loose and I probably should have onesies. I have a single pair at home, but I didn't bring it b/c it is too long despite being a medium, so it doesn't hold the diaper up anyway. And I have never ordered any others because they are expensive and I don't trust them to fit properly. Besides, they would be very hot on a summer day under another top. I've been trying to find a Target or someplace to buy better shorts, but have not had any luck. Trying a KMart tomorrow and if that doesn't work I'll swallow everything I believe in and enter a WalMart for the first time in years to see if THAT works. But the bottom line is that the diapers sag. The tapes loosen or stretch and the things just slip down.
I'll still use them for home, but once again I'm looking for something new for daily use. When the heck is Tykables going to get their product back on the shelves?
