Have you seen Kiddos Teddy Ultra. It's a single tape cloth backed diaper.
As far as I know all the single tape ABDL diapers are 4500ml. SDKs, Cushies, Kiddos Junior Plus. Rearz Select Vintage is 3800ml.
Yes :3
I've tried them and like them but they have 2 flaws. One of them is that the diaper isn't snug no mater how you tape it. The Second is that the tapes will peel up from the bottom up when the brief gets wet. The Teddies have a perfect core. That is the whole of the diaper without the wings and tapes attached to it. Its outer cotton lining is soft but its inside is like silky soft way better then any of the diaper on the market.
I think the wing's need re-engineering. Regardless of how we tape the diaper, tapes up high, low, tight, snuggish we find the wings still not staying snug or secured to the body even when the tapes hold. Now on paper that may be ok if its still functional but it leaks in the rear and feels wierd and insecure. The diaper fit is off and based of my measurements i cant see how anyone will get a perfect fit.
If I may ill reference some measurements and later give my solution to the problem.
Tape: 2"& 7/8" tall (Y-axis) AND 1"& 3/4" wide (X-axis)
Tape's Hook&Loop Adhesive Patch: 2"& 7/8" tall (Y-axis) AND 3/4" wide (X-axis)
Landing Zone: 6"& 5/8" tall (Y-axis) AND 24"& 7/8" wide (X-axis)
Top Of Front Waist Band To Landing Zone: 7" (top to bottom)
Rear Wing: 12" tall (Y-axis) at ends
Front Wing: 5" tall (Y-axis) at ends
My first thoughts after taking these measurements was that there is a problem in the size of the tapes. The wing at its shortest point is
4x times the height (X-axis) of the tape. Now these tapes are centered at 6" on the wing, dead in the middle. This leaves (4"& 5/8") of unsupported fabric at the end of the wings when diapered. This is the reason why the diaper feels loose and is prone to leak. Someone might say. "What if you make the tapes bigger?" Well we are already having problems with the current ones and making them bigger would only make that issue worst.
The issue with the tapes is twofold. First off the tapes will peel up or roll up when the diaper is wet and swollen or if you're dry and have been in a sitting position for a while. Second the hook and loop pad on the tape only covers 3/7 of the actual tape. The other 4/7 is just sticky glue that doesn't bond well to the fabric landing pad for long.
Now my solution is hard to accurately explain in words and i wish i could share with you some drawings but ill do my best to explain in text.
So to start we will talk about fixing the tapes and then go into possible reshaping of the wing and perhaps maybe selecting a different material for the wings even tho it may be to costly for manufacturing.
Now the tapes are currently at 3/7 usefulness and 4/7 uselessness. I say we flip that number or maybe make one that is 100% (hook and loop type adhesive taping) and run it through some test.
Reshape the wings is next and i think we need to shave some of the excess off. Maybe leave about 2" under the tapes and sweep the rest of it down in a ark to the leg cuffs. Personally i want to have something more stretchy that would form to fit snug around the hips and waist. Maybe implementing the same stretchy technology that they use in the flexible adult briefs, (Attends stretch brief) is a good example. The wings will need to be angled so that the brief stays snug against the butt and the leg cuffs don't sag under weight.
Over all i hope for a new next gen 1tape sooon.
