Products that are gone now but you wish still around.

So years ago there was a product made by I believe Abena that was a cross between a pul-up and a brief, cloth-backed, and you would wrap these extra-long belly raps and then the front has a hook-loop to attach. They were 3 in absorbency were so easy to change. They were my go-to years ago.

I am sure some people here have a product that they wish was still around?

This product is not gone because it hasn't been invented yet and probably never will. A plastic backed pull up adult diaper! Why can't a diaper company come out with one of those?

I think those are still around I know I had some recently and I was pretty disappointed because I thought they were the same as the ones made by Tena which were plastic fact and much more absorbent but the same design, the belts that wrapped around you were cloth like but the main body of the brief was plastic covered, I recently went looking for them because I just had shoulder surgery and I knew getting changed was going to be extremely difficult. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find them in the United States. It’s been challenging getting a regular brief on but I’ve found the strength of the north shore tapes to be a big help Aside from that I have to say I’m pretty happy with the products today compared to what they used to be

this is due to the fact the trend is to go with the cloth-like covers and more "breathable" options and I have never had any success with cloth-like covered diapers and when you're talking breathable your also talking less odor containment it will breathe the odors out the trend is to be more discrete and look and feel like underwear well that's fine if you have lighter leakage issues but they do need to have heavier options for those with heavier leakage as well

I wish Abena had the same diapers that they had 20 years ago. They really went down hill. The same with molicare.

I remember one time my Mother used a diaper called Kimbies on me for my bedwetting I think they were the only diaper shaped like that I think they were replaced by Huggies they didn't have any elastic

Why couldn't they make adult versions of Kimbies or another type of plastic backed baby diaper?

years ago all the disposable diapers sold came in cardboard/paper boxes you keep hearing about reducing plastic usage but nowadays all diapers sold infant/toddler/youth and even adult diapers sold come in plastic bags if they started packaging all the diapers in cardboard/paper boxes again that would be a major reduction in plastic usage and the boxes would be more recyclable

If we made an effort to switch from plastic bottles back to the good old glass, stopped making car bumpers, and instituted mandated recycling at the landfill/ disposal site we could save tons on both gas well as plastic waste... I am not a go-green person but I dang sure to see that too much plastic goes to waste. 55% of all petroleum goes to plastics... So if we just did simple things as a country we could save a lot.

I am not a go green tree hugger myself but this is an obvious way to reduce plastic I mean granted the diapers still are plastic by they don't necessarily have to wrapped in plastic like they are

@ThatFLGuy Glass is actually barely recyclable because there is almost zero utility for recycled glass. Most recycling pants don't even want it. They have to be subsidized to take it or they just throw it away.

This post brings back flashbacks. those were diapers i was using, when i was bedwetting as a child. I would always have a big box in my room, until my night problems eventually resolved as a child.
