How to Use the New Teddy Comfort Stretch Tapes
Our Teddy comfort stretch tape is actually a 2-piece tape called a “Target Tape”, and the blue end tab is meant to stay put on the diaper as a marker, so that the tape can be refastened in the same spot in case temporary unfastening and refastening at the original location is desired. However, you have the option of removing and discarding the blue tab, and then fastening the tape on the printed frontal landing zone like the original tapes on our Classico or Bianco diapers if you prefer. Either way, you should first find a comfortable fit as you would with our original tapes. Do not overstretch the tapes at this point because they are meant to provide additional stretch as you bend or twist, not to draw them tighter after fastening. (The stretch tapes, like a rubber band, have a “memory” and will return to their original shape and dimensions unless stretched beyond a point called the elastic limit - you might want to try stretching one of the tapes by hand just to observe how much “give” it has before fastening for the first time).
Also, please realize the tapes are not meant to be a “size extender”. Because the new Teddy product won’t be available in size large until late August, it’s possible that some enthusiastic size large users have ordered in size medium just to try them out. Of course, we’re happy to accept orders for size medium, but we want you to be satisfied with the product, so please keep the size issue in mind. Thanks for your feedback, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the new Teddy!
I like these new teddys, but I’m having issues with the tapes, particularly at the top. It seems that when I put them on either the top feels too loose like the diaper is going to fall down or the diaper is just tight enough and then the tape breaks during the night. Also, the tapes tend to stretch and lose elasticity after a few hours…maybe due to body heat? Anyway, I like everything else about this diaper; can you make it the same with the regular tapes? Or do the other tapes require the thicker, glossy landing?
i love the new teddy bear prints. though the one downfall is the tape tabs need to be a lil thicker as in the flex part so they dont break so easily. even after following the best way to do it. a couple hours later they break. but other then that they absorb well and great print. now you just need to come up with some nice blue paw printed ones or pink paws.
