This is my 'real world' review of the new Alpaca diapers by Rearz. I am going to cover how they hold up during real nighttime use on 3 incontinent adults ( myself and the 2 ""children"" I take care of ), AND I am going to cover what I believe to be very misleading and false advertising by Rearz .
.
.
We received our order of 2 cases yesterday, and I decided to put everyone in these diapers to test out how well they work.
--> About us:
* I am medically incontinent and have Nocturnal Polyuria ( my kidneys produce too much urine while I sleep ). My bladder leaks during the nighttime, and I frequently have uncontrollable full bladder voids .
* The ""2 year old"" is diaper incontinent. He has very poor bladder retention and uncontrollably has small voids while he sleeps.
* The ""7 year old"" has medically fecal incontinence and has occasional urge incontinence . He has fecal accidents almost every night, and most of the time just after he wakes up as well .
--> Bedtime:
I got the ""children"" ready for bed as usual, nothing out of the ordinary in our bedtime routine . I put all of us in Alpaca diapers instead of the normal ones we sleep in.
--> Fit:
The diapers fit all 3 of us well, with no gaps
--> Next Morning:
All 3 of did out normal morning routine, and took our showers about 2 hours after waking up. This is when I examined each diaper and talked to the ""children"" about how they felt about them.
Both me and the ""2 year old"" noted that the diaper swelled a LOT during the night, and became droopy as we walked around in the morning.
* My diaper did not leak. By the time I took my diaper off for shower time, it was hanging very low and would not offer any protection if my bladder voided while I was sitting down thanks to the very large gaps in the legs.
* The ""2 year old"" leaked into his diaper cover pretty badly.
* The ""7 year old"" had a big fecal accident as he was sitting up in bed. The diaper contained the mess very well and did not leak out the sides.
--> Assessment:
All 3 of us agreed that Alpaca diapers by Rearz make OK nighttime diapers, but none of us think they would hold up very well during the daytime when we are all physically active. They have a tendency to droop badly as they get wet .

I have a problem with the way Rearz marketed these diapers ... they made 2 claims that I find are false / misleading:
1: they claimed these diapers where very thick and fluffy .
2: they claimed that since they where so thick, only 10 would fit into a pack instead of the standard 12 .
The first claim they are very thick and fluffy can easily debunked by comparing Alpaca diapers to other Rearz diapers I have on-hand ...
Starting from the top: Violet Seduction - Dinosaur Elite - Barnyard - Alpaca - Safari - inControl
.
.
The second claim that they could only fit 10 in a pack is very misleading ... Rearz is using smaller packs for the Alpaca diapers.
