So far I have used 3 abu simple ultra's and I have been able to form a pretty good general opinion on them. The diaper is smaller then the previous abu line up, it is made to be hugged tight to your body with a "lower cut" So if your in between sizes and wear the current abu simple, little paws, space in medium, you may want to order larges in the new ultra diapers. The cut is almost identical to abu barebums.
The tapes are great, same clear strong ones that we've become use to.
The plastic is soft like the abu pre-schools, it would be really cool if the company took the pre-school tape panel art and made it available to be put on these new ones.
Thickness, my oh my, these diapers start out like pre-schools, nice, soft, and thin, but they grow, and grow, and grow. I actually made one of these leak this morning, but it didn't leak out in the traditional spots that I'm use to (rear lower sides) it leaked out the top lol, granted I was laying down and in a snapped onesie, but the diaper screamed uncle and a little drip came out the very top (never had that before)
Like I said earlier, I have worn 3 of these in the past 24 hours, I have drank an excessive amount of ice tea, water and coffee so I'm well hydrated and I feel as though I'm constantly leaking into these diapers, they have held up amazingly, there probably the thirstiest diapers I've ever worn with out doubling up or using inserts, the wicking is a lot better then the original simples, I could never get anything past the back seat of the diaper (always seemed to pool there) these new ones absorb, lock, and spread liquid pretty good, I'm impressed. I'm also impressed with how you don't feel "wet" after wetting until the diaper is really wet, it feels bulky, squishy, yet dry for the most part, its really nice actually.
So wrap things up, this is a great product, sizing is going to be an issue, if your a 34" waist and tall I would recommend going with size large on these, comfort is excellent, absorbency is excellent, construction of product is excellent, tapes are excellent, diaper padding clumping / falling apart - is a non issue. These are worth the money.
On a side note, I would like to see pre-school art on the tape panel, and stretchy tapes on this product, other then that, ABU - You Hit it out of the ball park again!!!! congrats on a job well done!!!!
