ANY one know when they plan to get more diapers in?
I've noticed that too. It is rare, but every once in a while I notice a bit of transfer/rub off.INCONTAL said:Yeah it a bummer. I like there diapers sometimes the abena irritate me. I have a good supply of the pleather. But don't like how the black rubs off on my bed pad. Im saving them for the winter when it's not to hot for plastic pants.
Definitely. But, in their (sort of) defense, they made no secret of their plans to grow too fast. Prior to the release of their original Waddler diaper, then-Snuggies sent out an investor packet with a downright comical business plan in it. The plan stated, in very general terms, that they meant to dominate the world diaper market. Oddly, though, beyond accumulating new facilities, they seem to spend most of their money on relatively niche products, like black/leather-themed diapers and diapers aimed at the BDSM community. Not that I have anything against those (they're not for me), but I get the feeling that Tykables diapers are, first and foremost, an expression of the owner's own diaper preferences--which, as a niche within a niche, probably aren't the sort of focus that can sustain the company long-term.INCONTAL said:I think tykables is trying to grow to fast.

Slomo said:...you'd think they would order more frequently (such as once every month instead of every other month, or whatever frequency needed). Their total inventory wouldn't grow by that much or if any, but their storage space wouldn't be so empty all the time.

todaler said:I can say that we have had talks with ABU as far back as when Casey bought the company about partnerships. ABU first approached us about a partnership back then but could not offer a way to partner, though we were open to the idea. They also declined 100% of the ideas we came up with, though they approched us with nothing. Recently We did offer an idea to ABU which they, as always, said no to. They then offered to buy Tykables but wanted to fire the entier staff of Tykables after doing so. We thank them for being so upfront but simply could not agree to such an arrangment. It seems that they then bought Barebums insted. Maybe they were in talks before, but then they waited a several months to anounce it.
