Ah the anticipation of a new hitherto untried diaper arriving at your doorstep. Will it perform exactly as described? Will it fit me just right? Will it magically transport me back to when I was two? You rip the package open and pull the new diaper out and...
If you've worn and purchased more than one type of diaper for any length of time, you know what I'm talking about. And, if you're like me and you've worn dozens of types of disposable and reuseable diapers over the years, you probably have stumbled on to more than a few duds and disasters. These are diapers or waterproof pants that don't fit you well, leak like a sieve and maybe even hurt you when wearing them. Here's a brief list of some of mine from the mildly annoying to the "Oh hell no."
Rearz Safari (Med) - Thick and thirsty they were matey, arggh. Way too big on me. I didn't care for the plastic either. It reminded me of a shower curtain. Okay, that was probably a surprise for some people. Not a deal breaker, but I wasn't impressed.
Snap-Ez All-in-One (Med) - Too wide in the legs and small on the waist. This reuseable diaper did not fit my body type. Relegated to the rarely worn pile and eventually discarded.
Suprima Plastic Pants (Med)- OMG. If they had been a little tighter they would have cut my legs off! A lot of plastic pants can have a tendency to leave marks, these were leaving wounds.
Tranquility ATNs (Med) - Purchased a case years ago from Magic Medical. Opened them up, looked at them and immediately sent them back. Yes, they took the whole case back and gave me a refund. I can't remember now what I disliked about them, but it must have been pretty bad.
Angel Fluff Gauze Diaper - Ordered a medium or so I thought. They were extremely thin and covered me like a blanket. Also relegated to the rarely worn pile and eventually used as a rag. They didn't last long as a rag.
DPF Cloud Pants - This was nearly 30 years ago and some of the stuff DPF sold via their mailed catalogue (yes mailed) was actually pretty good. These pants looked like grandma Huggins was learning how to sew. Leg openings were too wide, plastic was brittle and stitching was coming lose everywhere. I think I tossed them in the garbage after trying them on for the first time.
Come on ADISCers, what have been your new diaper duds and disasters!
