Always good to have new AB diapers on the market, shame about it being only in size medium though. I get that however, they probably wanna test it out to see if it has a market before overproducing them.
Yup! You're correct, this was my thought process. Large is in the works, hopefully in the near future. Right now, I'm shooting for Q1 of 2019.

The design leaves a bit to be desired though. The print is really baffling to me, I don't mind an alphabet motif, but the designs feel awkwardly spaced and difficult to make out and poorly designed, it's almost like the print was an afterthought. Add in that blue trim, which is not unlike the blue trim along the sides of Tykables and you have a diaper that basically looks like a failed Tykables design/spin-off.
I had to laugh at myself when I read this. The design was without question the
hardest part of this process. I probably spent close to 100 hours trying to come up with a design that I liked, coupled with countless email threads back and forth with our manufacturer discussing manufacturing limitations and revisions. Not trying to make excuses - just thought this was a funny comment as this was
exactly what I was hoping to avoid! I do appreciate the feedback.
My thought process around the design that ended up being produced probably makes more sense when viewed in a vertical format. I've attached a picture of the design in that format to this post (Edit: still working out how to attach the pic...). That being said, I am aware that the number of customers who purchase the product and post it on their wall in that format is probably quite small :biggrin: I will take this feedback into account for the next iteration of the design.

Also, not fond of the name. I know it's trying to be childlike and cute, but when I first read it in the thread title and on the website, I thought it said Bumooze... Bum Ooze... two words you usually don't want next to one another :laugh:
Lol! I was somewhat mortified when I read a similar comment on the introductory reddit thread. Hearing this feedback was a big "Duh!". I honestly hadn't put the two and two together until it was mentioned. I'm going to have to pull a "Tykables" (Snuggies?) and re-brand eventually, but I'm sticking with Bumooza for now to avoid confusion, being a new brand and all.

Still, my gripes aside, if you're the type who favours performance over aesthetic, these look to be a good alternative to some of the other brands out there, the price is right too.
For those who aren't extremely fond of the aesthetic, I hope so! I can say in honesty that I tried my best to bring another high end offering to the AB/DL market.
Thank you for your input!

Dangit, when is an ABDL company gonna ask an ABDL graphic designer to help with the designs? It is entirely possible for us to be total babs AND be good at making artwork/layouts. ;D
Feel free to contact me! I'd love to source designs from other members of the community / via community input. The best way to contact me is through the site, as I don't know if I get instant email notifications of messages from this forum yet. I like to respond promptly.

(Also not a fan of the "Ooza" part of the name...but that might just be because I was psychologically scarred as a child by the Smooze on My Little Pony. :laugh
Also made me think of this quote from Ratatouille:
Linguini: "Ratatouille! It's like a stew, right? Why do they call it that? If you're gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious! "Ratatouille" doesn't sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie". Rat-patootie...which does not sound delicious."
Lol! Love the Ratatouille quote. Yeah, the naming was a bit of an oversight on my end. Didn't even think of it until it was pointed out, honestly!

Odd..they released video otherwise ...I wonder...(and not to get political but hopefully this trade war stupidity doesn't ruin anything)
Mabey that was just the printing machine
I can't speak for ABU of course, but perhaps the video was taken at a third party factory? I'm not sure.
To answer your question - we don't have a dedicated diaper manufacturing machine. That'd be quite the investment, as well as sourcing raw materials, getting space for a factory, etc. We use a third party manufacturer, and I believe it's the same manufacturer a lot of our competitors use for their high end diapers. That was one of the reasons why I specifically chose them.
