Fanfold disposables for adults?

[willnotwill]

That's how the early adult diapers were as well even after infant diapers went to the fitted shape. You can still find some as the "Kendall Ables" diaper.

Interesting, I've never seen a diaper that was advertised as being able to be used as an underpad, as well.

Dollar Tree has a 2 pk of a undepad. Plastic backed. Has the right dimensions to be crafted in a fan fold diaper. To really make real. Use hot glue gun or safe for skin glue to make inner middle fold. Use white duct tape as tabs
At Dollar Tree. Located in Women's hygiene section. Or with cotton balls

I wore vintage style Pampers growing up (fanfold). They leaked and messes were also prone to falling out. Early adult disposables were also fanfold with one tab per side (Surecare and Ambeze, to name a few of the brands). They were much thinner than Pampers and prone to leaking and tearing.

I don’t know about others, but I wear diapers to keep in leaks and messes. if you want fanfold, try a cloth prefold and plastic pants, otherwise the disposables available today are way better than those of the 70’s and 80’s.

Larger underpads were available with two pairs of side tabs.

I had a Catalog given to me at a medical supply store it was a thin flyer type catalog for Whitestone Medical and on one page it showed the adult Ameze diapers on the opposite page was the Ambeze Junior diapers it showed the package and a boy who looked to be about 10 years old kneeling on one knee and all he had one was n Ambeeze Junior I once saw the same photo of the boy in an ad somewhere I don't remember where I would love to find that ad that was the first time I saw someone older than a Toddler in a disposable diaper

AB Universe had them back in the day, but I guess it was never a big seller. I never tried them.

Seeing that old site brought back memories

Ambeze was one of my goto diapers back in the early 80's.

As a parent who had to deal with fanfold diapers for my children I can definitely say that they were terrible. They leaked frequently and were absolutely terrible for #2. It is understandable why they are no longer manufactured.
I still have one plain white fanfold baby diaper from that era that I keep as a historical artifact. Considering its size it is very bulky compared to today’s diapers because they were filled with pulp and no SAP.

Neither me nor my sisters were in fanfold pampers style (weren't really a thing yet). My brother was (he's seven years younger than me). Mom still put rubber (probably plastic but she always called them rubber) pants over them. Still it was how I remembered infant pampers (before the days of "baby-shaped kimbies and the more modern hourglass ones) so I kept wearing the fanfolds for as long as I could get them. Yeah, they didn't work real well functionally compared to what we have now.

Hey, check it out! That last photo of an adult in the baby blue T-shirt and fanfold diaper is me! Here's another few shots from that same set just to prove it:




PS. The diapers are vintage 70s fanfold Pampers Toddler size, two or three glued together to fit the 50-year old me!

Like them a lot, hope your wife will finally allow you post more pics with your new acquisitions.

I for one would love to wear a fan fold diaper made in adult size.
As I have not seen or worn any since 1985.

Fanfolds are the ONLY diapers for me! I have no desire for hourglass diapers with elastic gathers, etc. However, those thin, flimsy Ambeze, SureCare, and other "glorified changing mats that are supposed to pass off as adult diapers" never did anything for my diaper fetish so I took to attaching a few vintage baby sized 70s Toddler Pampers to achieve, for me, what is as authentic a diaper feel as I can. No, the result would probably NOT serve any functional wetting or messing purpose, but then again I NEVER wet or mess my diapers so I am okie-dokie!

Here is what the end result looks like (all photos are high-res so click thumbnail for larger view...)

You are absolutely correct, they where not useful for wetting or messing, but they where the first adult size diapers I got to wear when I started my diaper training.

When I think of fanfold disposable diapers, I remember leaks more than anything else. Both pee and poop leaks. And they did not fit especially well. I liked the plastic backing with its crinkling sound, though. Today's premium disposable diapers are far more comfortable and keep my clothes, bedding, and furniture dry much more reliably.

Luvs and Huggies with their hourglass design became the foundation for the modern adult disposable diaper which debuted in the late 1970s.

Actually, as far as hourglass diapers go, those first line 1978 Huggies (and the early Kimbies that they themselves were modeled after) are the ONLY two non-fanfold diapers that ever caught my interest, and that is because both the 1978 Huggies (as well as the Kimbies) featured the diamond-embossed plastic like 70s Pampers--the feature I HAVE TO HAVE in a diaper. By comparison, from the beginning, Luvs hourglass diapers NEVER had the diamond embossing. The plastic was ALWAYS buttery smooth from the very beginning (something that does nothing for my diaper fetish at all).

So if an adult diaper company were to at least make hourglass diapers with diamond-embossed plastic (like Pampers, Kimbies, or 1978 Huggies) then I would buy them in a heartbeat!! I don't really need the fanfold design... I just need that damned diamond embossing!!!

How about a petition to major ABDL diaper makers to include the «rubberized» plastics in their sposies?
