Comments on: Don’t Judge a Diaper by its Thickness

I have to agree with a lot of the posters on here. I am not incontinent in any way. When I chose an ABDL diaper, I pick the diaper that comes farthest up my waist, is thickest, and is super crinkly sounding. I usually wear a double Abena X-Plus Large to get there. I would love if a manufacturer could produce a diaper with more pulp with no regard for absorbency. I usually use it for solids more than liquids anyway!

I like my diapers to be thick, and not because of absorbancy. I simply enjoy the bulky feeling between my legs, and the padded feeling on my bum when I sit. I wish that bambinos were three times as thick as they currently are.

I stopped wearing bambinos for quite some time. I’ve been wearing abenas and attends for the past few months. I can honestly say…..I’m preparing to buy a few cases of bambinos again and give all thise ones I have AWAY.

I think they are thick enough. Certainly better than most diaposables. People who want the “waddle” effect I think forget that the toddler waddle is due to body mechanics rather than diaper thickness. Also, SAP only adds thickness when wet. Dry thickness comes from the pulp. For me, more SAP is unnecessary and a wasted expense, because you can only wear a wet diaper for so long before you really need to change for health reasons. I say put the super adhesive regular tapes on the teddy and call it good. Maybe change up the design on the front panel every 6 months to keep things interesting.

I am a customer of Bambino diapers and I do like the product but I think as others have alluded to that you might be missing the reason that alot of adult/babies want a thicker diaper. It has little at all to do with the absorbency and more to do with the “feeling” of the diaper. Alot of adult babies or diaper lovers want to feel the diaper, they want the diaper to be thick to get the sensation of spreading and the forced waddeling. You speak of comfort, as if people want the effect of wearing the diaper to be minimal, it is in fact quite the opposite for many of your customers.

I would LOVE to see you offer a thicker diaper with simply loads more SAP, I dont care in the slightest how that affects the absorbency, I simply want the diaper to be thicker and have a feeling of bulkiness and pressence. As far as cost? Heck, if you made a diaper that was litterly jammed full of SAP and twice as thick as the current Bambino I would pay double the price. As it stands I will often put two on to begin with, not for the extra absorbency, but because I want the sensation that a very thick diaper gives.

Don’t worry about absorbency, you have that covered, but go for thick just for the sake of “THICK”, I think you might be shocked how popular a overthick disposable diaper would be for the adult baby and diaper lover crowd just for the sensation it gives.

Good read, but since you’re addressing the “thicker isn’t better” issue, it’s obviously in response to a great number of inquiries about thicker diapers (or numerous comparisons) online referencing thickness. Does this mean that people want a thicker diaper? Is there a way to increase absorbency and capacity, while increasing thickness? More SAP? Obviously cost is a factor. I obviously LOVE Bambino’s, I’ve tried all competing brands and while some have their good points, nothing is worse than poor performance. Bambino’s are superior IMO, I have no interest in using anything else. BUT.. it would be really interesting to try a thicker version. Since I use a Bambino Duo, or Quarto every time to get the performance where I need it, it would be nice to have that built into the diaper.

I tried them for the first time yesterday. I have a new diaper now. It is the best diaper that I have worn.

Well, keep in mind that many AB’s aren’t only interested in thickness for the sake of absorbency; they’re also interested in it because it adds to the “babyishness” of the diaper, which is why they’re wearing one in the first place.

Very nice article! I think it is important that people realize that thickness doesn’t always mean better absorbency.
