Diaper tapes too good?

[Pampers4Ever]

Can your diaper tapes be too good? I have a new package of pink MegaMax from Northshore. After wearing for 15 hours today, I had a difficult time taking them off. After pulling on the tapes to remove them from the taping panel on the front. It started to rip a hole in the taping panel and the plastic back sheet. I ended up slipping them off like underwear. I even had a difficult time pulling them down because of how tight I tape up my top tapes. Has anyone else run into tapes possibly being too good?

There is no question that Northshore's tapes are strong and very long usage can set them very well.
I have found that when placing the diaper on that a simple tap to the tape surface will allow it to be removed and adjusted. Setting the tape with a bit of force can lock them in.

I am 24/7, U-IC and had always just pulled the diaper down and not played with the tapes as the over-night diaper can be in place between 10 and twelve hours and, yes they are well set. Assure that you are landing the tapes on the heavy /shinny area as that is the proper landing zone and you will find that although still well set, they are less likely to cause the heavy plastic landing zone from tearing.

Sometimes, to be discreet at night I use scissors to discretely take them off when I must without causing the "lightning-bolt-effect" sound in the bathroom.🤫🤭

I would not want to have to pull those tapes off in a public change room that’s for sure!

Yes, I wish the mega max tapes were not so stout. I try not to stick them down real well when I put it on. I feel like I always have to be very careful when taking it off otherwise it will rip the tape landing zone.

Yeah, I've had a few instances where the tapes were TOO secure and mommy ending up ripping the plastic of the diaper off before she could get the tapes off.

Quite funny to say this, but I actually hurt my wrist with the tapes..I believe! Now my left-hand goes numb! I swear! Honest! I was given a brace, but it's useless. I dare not try to explain. But I originally thought I was "a-goner!" with heart trouble! Lol. Clearly, I should use my pliers when appreciating the strong tapes...alone. Privately, of course. (Tee-hee). 🤭 😱 🤫

It's much more better your tapes of your diapers are 'too good' than little bit bad. You can use the too good but little bad ones need some duck tape. And that will be also too good😄

Yes that what I really one of many things like about MagaMax tapes !!
Another thing is that you take them off a few time if you don't get them on just right or you can make them more comfy fitting ! Have use other diaper the tapes, once they on there done, can't do any readjusting !
Now I wish that make a tapes when you get baby powder on them they still can stick !!

One trick I use on diapers is to apply a pallet plastic wrap cutter/box cutter with a guarded hook. It’s like a giant letter opener, but for quickly slicing the plastic wrap off a fully wrapped pallet. You simply slide the hook into the side of your diaper and pull. It cuts the diaper off with much less noise and without compromising the front plastic of the diaper.

It might not be what you have in mind, but it’s one tool I keep in my ABDL toolbox.

For Tranquility ATN's, are the tapes too good, or is the plastic backing too bad? 🤔

I had the same issue with the Str8Ups white. Damn did those tapes stick. Was thinking that anyone with hand problems like severe carpal tunnel would never be able to get the diaper off.
But on the bright side of super strong tapes...it's better than hearing that infamous little "pop".

 

[NorthwestDiaperDude]

Yes, MegaMax diaper tapes are very strong! Like her-ka-leez! Haha.... I don't even try untapping anymore, I just slip my diaper down and step out.

Okay, I just alerted the regional Hospitals that they will be faced with any number of hip level leg cuts!! LOL!!!
Great explanation and recommendation, love your concept, but!! I can see this going so very wrong with individuals using a traditional box cutter.

Oh, god, no. Obviously, not a box cutter with an exposed edge. If you can cut yourself on the blade, then it’s not the device I’m talking about.

 

[Edgewater]

Yes, I fully agree with what you defined, but!!
For a period of my life I wrote manuals for equipment that melted aluminum. One of the warnings that was mandated was: Do Not Touch Hot Surfaces!!

Given that the plastic material can be pretty easily ripped off at the sides, I cannot think of this as being anything but a good thing. Tape them on, then when you are ready to remove them, just rip the plastic sides and put on a new one.

I like that I know when it’s on it’s on no worries about things coming loose.

At least the tape doesn't come off the wing where it's attached! This always blew my mind away when simply standing in the kitchen. "What???" I look down after feeling less snug and find one side more "airy". I do the inspection.
At first, I assume a simple re-tape is in order. NO? Wait. The tape is on, but the wing isn't connected. Hmmmm. I find either my body heat melted the tape's attachment site where manufacturing pressed it on or in other cases, the tape simply tore free from the wing. (common with cloth-backed) but plastic ones did this, too. I don't pooch out my paunch, so beats me. 🤪🤭
I stand there with a flappy wing and consider prudence and the political ramifications of pulling out the duct tape and think about what the garbage collectors would think of when garbage bags are torn open at the dump and them possibly seeing a duct-taped diaper with horror (!?!!). I then make my decision.
If I am in a fun "mood" I throw caution to the wind and duct tape away. Sword held high, so to speak.
Or I toss it out with the cheated feeling in my head I could have added another gallon of fluid, or so.

There have been a number of different brands that did this with me. From nearly all the main companies. Sometimes, just like tires blow out regardless of car or tire model: diapers fail, I guess. Or conquer like a pro gamer.

So, I understand the strong tape epidemic. So long as the wings can hold the tape. Cool. Or, back to duct tape, fun music, and good movies. Life goes on.

Enjoyed the Humor!
FYI: Duck tape is available in 'colors'! The trash bag inspectors would have to be overly interested, which brings a whole new level of intrigue into the discussion!
