How many of you have or do use duct tape on your diapers? I have it on mine right now.
AAO said:I'm not sure what kind of packing tape that you guys use that it's easier to tear than duct tape. Any packing tape I have ever used I have to have scissors or a dispenser to cut it. But duct tape I can tear off pieces easily.
Barnboy said:True Duct tape, like packing tape, is not that easy to cut without scissors. Just a bit easier. You may be thinking of masking tape or painters tape. This a thinner, paper based tape designed to be used when painting a straight line. It peels off easy and can be torn without scissors. It is usually beige, blue or green.
The other type of plastic based, thicker tape is electrical tape (used to insulate exposed wires so you don't get a shock or short). This tends to be narrow in width, comes in many colors, is softer in feel due to its thicker, non fiborous, construction (unlike duct tapes rough fibers) and is quite smooth. It can work with diapers for its nice feel and variety of colors. Tough to cut without scissors as it tend to stretch when pulled (also making it an interesting choice with diapers as they fill up and expand).

We even special order ours to get a better quality than what is found on most store shelves. I also know the difference between packing, masking and electrical tape.
