oops NOT preschool, this is for Rearz "Vintage Baby Dry Replica", there still appears to be no way to edit a subject, maybe a mod can fix it.
Just got them in today. I ordered two bags of 10. The box they were in was a larger box broken down to the right size, and in that were two plastic shopping bags with 10 diapers each. (they DID say they don't have them in "retail packaging" yet, so this was fairly expected)
OK first off... these were supposed to be a clothlike or hybrid diaper of some sort, or so I thought. They are neither. The shell is plastic, front and sides. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I prefer it, but I could have sworn all the prior discussion on these were that they were a clothlike or hybrid. The liner inside the sides looks like it should do a respectable job of keeping the sides a little breathable.
I haven't done much with them yet so this really is my "initial impressions", I'll probably have more details and pics this weekend. First off, the crotch is narrower. The initial look is very much like an SDKv2. Rearz's inspire and seduction are both thinner, and this looks to match that form factor. They're not a wide crotch like the safari. This is good for daytime wear.
Leak guards are excellent, the front elastis is pretty good. Since diapers are made in a continuous run, they can pick where they cut to put the elastic on the front, back, or both. It looks like this run was set to "both". Although the rear LOOKS elastic and ribbed, it has much less spring to it than the front. This may be an interesting compromise, as it should help prevent sweating in back at least.
The shell is entirely white and pretty soft to the touch. It's neither rigid nor hard. The front tape pattern is interesting... it's lightweight pastels of teddy bears (naked, not wearing a diaper), with a fair amount of white space between them. There's not a lot of variety in color or in characters. This overall combination does a very good job of creating a "vintage look". You know how you can always recognize old cartoons compared to new ones? That's what this does, it just gives you that subconscious "this is from back when I was a kid" impression.
The padding is also unusual. It's somewhat thin, but very flexible and compressible. It's also lightweight. I believe these are fairly low sap. They're very similar to bambino teddy in many ways. Possibly slightly thinner padding. I'm expecting them to wick well but not lock away wetness well, and press-out may be an issue. It's the usual necessary trade between pulp and sap. But diapers 20 yrs ago didn't have sap, so there you go, all in with the vintage choice.
There are four tapes, two on each side, the typical rearz ones. They stick realy well to the front panel but are movable. The height on the front tape panel seems to be a little short, so I wonder if the lower tapes are going to get me a good fit when stuck on the landing zone or if I'm going to have to position them a little below it.
The combination of the shell look and feel and tape panel together do an excellent job of creating a "vintage pampers in adult size". I seriously think this is the best thing available right now if you're looking for a functional diaper you can wear comfortably that looks and feels pretty much exactly like you remember from your childhood.
