I think the print is sharper because it got smaller :O It looks pretty nice like this, yeah!
Also, the shell is surprisingly strong!! I just spent a night in one, and unlike usually, continued my morning in this diaper. I have re-fastened the tape 4 times by placing it back on the blue tape and it held until some dog hair got under it (dog hair strikes again!!!) and now the left side is taped up with duct tape.
Yeah, I'm still happy with Crinklz..! I was a bit wary of how this change will go, but it was allright. I'm still going to continue buying.
Also, the front AND rear elastic make the fit really good. I like to have leg cuffs tight (no leaks) and waistband kinda loose (skin can breathe) so yes. snug.
Ps. Try tearing the tape off slooooooow from the shell. It just stretches :O!
Just got up from
my first night in one, and it was a very positive experience. As you said, the shell is deceptively strong. I think that stretch is what makes it soft and smooth without making it weak. I somehow found the perfect taping position on the first try, so no need to use the white tapes. The tape changes was a pleasant surprise too - MOST manufacturers are using heavier, stiffer tapes, and the corners and edges of them poke me in the wrist as I sleep on my back. But these tapes are a lot thinner and more flexible, and don't dig into my skin.
HUGE improvement over say the tapes on the confidrys.
The inner liner is very soft - hard to tell apart from say the kittens, which are known for their soft liner. (it's like everyone is making the same great improvements at the same time, it's awesome!) Although the padding felt a bit thnner than say a kitten, the swelling that happened was off the charts, along with liquid acquisition. I usually get a fair amount of runoff to the back when I wet rapidly, but these absorbed almost entirely in the crotch before reaching the back. This, combined with the major swelling, lead to a diaper that was hard to roll over onto my side to sleep, because of how huge the crotch had become.
Also of note, the standing leak guards
are enourmous. 50% higher than anything I've ever seen. And they're not stiff (like the confidry for example), they're very soft at the top. I was amazed that no amount of gapping lifted them off my skin. A+ here.
Capacity was naturally very good. I was still dry for at least the back 5 inches by morning, following 4-5 wettings. Fit and comfort (besides the trouble with side-sleeping) was outstanding.
That being said, for some reason the sides of the leg cuffs felt unpleasantly wet by morning. The leak guards are anchored at or just off the padding, so that may be part of the problem. It gave me that "are you leaking?" feeling, without there actually being any danger of a leak. If I had to find a fault with these diapers, this is pretty much the only point I could pick on. I'd have to give them a "9.5".
My only remaining concern is wicking all the way to the back. Most diapers with this level of sap don't wick well, but these absorb so fast that just may cancel out. I'll have to drink a bit more before bed here soon and see if I can reach the back before leaking.
