Are Betterdrys thicker/bulkier than Confidrys? Confidry is getting about as bulky as I find comfortable to wear and sometime too bulky. I don’t mind changing an extra time if I find the diaper more comfortable to wear.Slomo said:They are ok at best. Given they cost nearly the same as betterdry though, and how much more betterdry performs, it's a wonder anyone even buys confidry these days.
They were about the same thickness before, but when confidry was cheapened up they did make it thinner. So currently betterdry is a little bit thicker to start out. However, betterdry doesn't have as high of a sap content ratio like confidry does, so it doesn't swell up quite as much. Meaning when soaked, I'd say both diapers are going to be close to the same thickeness. Maybe someone else can corfirm or refute that?AAO said:Are Betterdrys thicker/bulkier than Confidrys?

Ok, I was going by when confidry had just been cheapened up a few years ago. Sounds like they've been revised a bunch more since then.bambinod said:I seem to have had the opposite experience... for me, crinklz and betterdry start out fairly thin and stiff, but swell a lot when wet. Confidry 247 on the other hand are about the same thickness when dry, but are more flexible, and hardly seem to swell at all. (but they do wick very fast - although betterdry wick pretty good too considering their swell)

Confidry are the same they have been for several years. They swell to about twice the thickness when wet. I use both Confidry and Betterdry. Betterdry swells more, thus they must have a higher sap ratio. A wet Betterdry is much thicker than a wet Confidry. So much so that I prefer Confidry because I can walk more normally.Slomo said:They were about the same thickness before, but when confidry was cheapened up they did make it thinner.

I'd guess it was about 4 years ago now. Confidry was absolutelty cheapened up. They used to be every bit as good as betterdry is now. Thicker padding, tougher plastic shell, better tapes, and one and on. That cheapening is exactly what allowed ther rise of betterdry in the first place. Thrust vector heard of our complaints, saw the new maket opening, and took advantage of it.MarcusP said:Confidry are the same they have been for several years.

Some people claim Confidry has been cheapened over the years, but I have not noticed it at all. If anything they are better because they finally got their tapes fixed. They are my favorite diaper because they have the best fit for my body type. I also prefer the high rise because I have a skinny waist and high rise diapers never get loose on me. Betterdry are ok, but they always feel less secure being attached more on the hips.
