I've been trying out many different booster pads since the really good ones were discontinues many years ago (old Abri-let Maxi, AO Vorlage and Azipads - if you didn't try any of these, you don't know what good booster is). Unfortunately all of the current available ones are really disappointing. Let's go in to the details.
All of the ABDL booster pads such as Tykable Dubblers, ABU Powerupps and White Max mega booster and analogs follow the very same road. They all about 40cm or 16" long, 15cm /6" wide and 2cm thick. They have very high SAP content and hold around 2,500 ml or liquid. Obviously the factory setting seems to be pretty much the same in every abdl booster pad. Ok, now what's wrong with these?
They are too short! I've never understood the decision not to make full-length boosters but leave them short. Why is that? I've tried to put them in the diaper on the front, but then there is a step, a difference in thickness, in the middle of my butt which is uncomfortable. And they have the possibility of sliding back into the middle of the diaper when moving. I've tried to put them on the middle. That just doesn't make sense because then they fall short on the front and all the liquids will go into the diaper bypassing the booster completely. In the back it gives nice thick feeling, but then there is nothing on the front again and they will slide into the middle anyway at some point. It would be awesome if some of you ABDL companies would actually make full-length booster pads (65cm/25").
They have too much SAP! This leads the booster to actually absorb ridiculous amount of liquids and then they burst. They prevent the main diaper doing its job as now the booster pad is doing all the work. A booster pad should absorb liquid of course, but I think the more important thing for them is to be able to wick fast and transport the wetness in to a larger area on the main diaper and after that feel dry to the skin. These SAP filled booster pads just swell uncontrollably and presses the liquid filled SAP layers to your skin which makes the skin start itching leaving the diaper dry. It's like sitting on a jelly. Not cool. Maybe I'm weird, but I like seeing my diaper wet once in a while.
Those are the main problems I have with ABDL booster pads. However there are medical booster pads available out there which are full-length, such as new Abri-form maxi, ID expert maxi, Lille classic extra and other clones. What are wrong with these then?
Quite simply they are SAP filled and very thin. I've used these for now, but I just can't shake that uncomfortable feeling they have when wet. It's as if they harden and press the wet hard booster against my skin while still being underwhelming from the thickness point of view. They don't actually really swell. It really makes me wonder why would anyone discontinue good product and make a bad one instead.
The old purely fluff filled booster never had any of these problems. The felt dry after a night against the skin, although the diaper itself was wet. They were as thick as ABDL booster pads, but softer. They were full-length, they did their job wicking fast and distributing the wetness throughout the diaper. I didn't feel like having a jelly cake in my pants. I don't believe I'm nostalgic about these feelings because I tried thin SAP booster clones already at the time those better booster pads were available and I felt the same.
Why do I need booster when ABDL diapers already hold 7,000 ml liquids at best?
To add bulk. Diapers are just too thin for me. Anything above 4,000 ml absorbency is enough for me, so I don't really care about absorbency that much. I would never use one diaper for 12 hours! But I have my history in the 80's so I like diapers to be plastic packed and bulky and fluffy. ABDL diapers deliver the plastic. Maybe some day they can also be thick and fluffy as well. I know it's mostly the Chinese factory machines that will dictate the limits of what the diapers can be today sadly. I will leave the rant of ABDL diapers for some other day.
But the factories should be able to make old style full length thick SAPless booster pads! Please ABU and others, make these happen! Name them vintage boosters or something, but make it happen! Maybe I could actually start enjoying wearing diapers again.
Tl;dr
Modern booster pads are bad. Someone please bring back old ones.
