Does anyone have any thoughts on Total Dry diapers? I’ve read a few reviews that they are a decent moderate capacity diaper and I’m thinking of ordering some.
It depends which one. The X Dry Plus is the same as Bambino Bianco. Not a heavyweight but decent thickness and about 3500 ml capacity. The Total Dry Overnight is a good choice for daytime despite its name. 2500 ml plastic backed and discreet. About $1 each plus shipping from Betty Mills. Overall good quality on both. The air or fabric versions of Total Dry are not that great.ThatHiddenDL said:Does anyone have any thoughts on Total Dry diapers?

I’m going to remember that. I went ahead and got the plus after reading up a little more. If for some reason they don’t work out for me they’ll just end up being emergency supply.Dalmatian said:It depends which one. The X Dry Plus is the same as Bambino Bianco.

I will certainly post about this!BrattyPrincessSophie said:I've been wanting to try these myself, I look forward to hearing how they perform.
Agreed. I still find them available at a website in the US meant as a supply house for nursing homes. It’s called Betty Mills.cmon6969 said:They have to bring the overnight version back those are good
they out of stock too. I am thinking they might have Discontinued the x plus and people are only selling the sizes they have left. Its a shame they won't even answer a email to a customer who has spent thousands with them. I switched to mega max about a year ago as my daily driver they fit very similar but are far more absorbent. Total Dry plus was a lot cheaper but I am not too sad I had to switch.Dalmatian said:Agreed. I still find them available at a website in the US meant as a supply house for nursing homes.

The x plus are way more absorbent and thicker but other than that they fit about the same. I wish I could still find them. I used them for close to 5 years but am now a Northshore fan Mega max has been good to me but they are pretty pricy too.ThatHiddenDL said:Mmk . . . So, here are my thoughts on these diapers:
I'll start with my overall impression which is that they are a sufficient diaper for moderate Urinary incontinence which is discreet and comfortable to wear during the day. I would highly recommend using a booster to help with capacity. They are certainly not a shining star, but I've experienced much worse.
Pros
These diapers are very discreet under any clothing.
Leak guards are tall and leg gathers fit snuggly enough that I experienced no leaks.
They don't retain body heat.
Plastic Landing Zone
Priced at ~$68.00 for 96 diapers
They seem to control odor well.
Cons
They don't absorb very fast and being so thin they don't retain moisture very well, so at times you feel wetness ( compared to other premium diapers).
Low SAP content.
Frequent changes will be necessary ( every 4-6 hours, depending on the person).
Likely will not be sufficient for bedwetting without a booster.
Wearing these today, I was very comfortable and they were not noisy despite the type of plastic used on the product. I'm not a heavy wetter, but it is very apparent that I will be going through 2-3 of these during the day; usually, one Tena will last the whole working day for me without needing a change. They are sooooo thin and light that I was concerned about leaking within a few hours, but that didn't become an issue so far. Obviously, I was not going into this expecting them to be a 5 star product, but they will work until I can get more of my normal product. I'm not entirely sure I would recommend these to most people, but if you're not a heavy wetter and you don't mind changing fairly often then these can be a cheap fall back option.
Yeah I was looking for them myself, but couldn't find them. Megamax are awesome to say the least, but, like you said, pricey.Diaperman95 said:The x plus are way more absorbent and thicker but other than that they fit about the same.

Sounds not too different than the kind of mileage I usually get from Tranquility ATN.ThatHiddenDL said:Frequent changes will be necessary ( every 4-6 hours, depending on the person).

The Bambino Bianco is the same diaper as the X-Plus and is available at Bambino’s site. Not cheap. $95 for a case of 48. Samples available too.Diaperman95 said:The x plus are way more absorbent and thicker but other than that they fit about the same. I wish I could still find them.

Thank you. I knew it was one of them. They are a pretty good diaper for the money. They always fit me well. That is not a horrible price for 48 quality diapers.Dalmatian said:The Bambino Bianco is the same diaper as the X-Plus and is available at Bambino’s site. Not cheap. $95 for a case of 48.
