Before reading ADISC forums I thought the Abena L4 was a top of line premium diaper. I had never heard of ABU “simple” or the newer “ultra”.
I realize if I purchased a case the price per diaper would be less. But just to try them out I bought a ten pack of each plus one of their onsies..... and was shocked to be paying basically $4 a diaper for the “ultra”.
Now to be honest it’s been sometime since I’ve calculated how much I’m really paying per change... as I’ve been always adding a doubler or two or more.... combining different ones, brands, shapes and sizes.
Thursday and Friday I had two long days. Each= 12+ hour of being wet and soiled, and working hard, sweating...lots of walking. On Thursday I wore an Abena L4 with a North Shore and tranquility extra pad, then with holes in the plastic shell I added Abena Abri-form XL ..... then my full body “skin suit”, and plastic bag.
Friday I wore just the “ultra” with one Northshore doubler. Skinsuit. Plastic bag.
( ABU simple... have not yet arrived)
Both uniform sets were removed before reaching saturation or failing. And I have to admit that the “ultra”performance was excellent and for the two day comparison...well worth $4.
Next week I’ll try it without the Northshore doubler and see how much it can really take solo...
And can’t wait to also try the “simple”... when they get here.
