Vivactive is a budget brand sold online in the UK. Ontex and Drylock manufacture their nappies and pull ups. I’ve been trying out their slips for the last 2 weeks. I usually wear Tena ProSkin slips, but thought I’d give these a try. Mainly down to cost, as these are the cheapest nappies available in the UK.
They do two absorbencies of slips. Plus and Super. Both look pretty much identical plain white and discreet. The Super has 3 lines on the wetness indicator, the Plus has 2.
The plus is very thin and will hold around 1-2 wettings. The super is thicker whilst still remaining discreet, it holds around 3-4 wettings and does bulge out quite a bit when wet.
I’d say the Super is the best out of the two. I’m very surprised at how much it holds for a budget nappy. Comparing it with Tena, I’d say it holds almost as much as an Ultima. And what impresses me the most about this product is how well it masks odours. There is no smell of urine under the bedsheets at all in the morning. Something that Tena doesn’t seem to do very well. The only flaw I find with this nappy is the cloth wings. They are very thin and become quite loose fitting after a while. But I always wear a pair of underwear over my nappy which seems to keep it in place.
These slips are made by Ontex, so It’s said to be similar to an iD slip. And yes, it does look identical in shape and form, but I haven’t worn an iD slip in a while so can’t compare.
All in all, I am seriously considering changing my usual Tena to the Vivactive Slip Super. It’s discreet enough as a daytime nappy, but also works well for night time. It’s the impressive odour control that’s winning me over with these. And of course the very competitive price. Around £8 for a pack of 15, or a case of 90 for less than £50. If you are on a budget, then these definitely tick the box.
