Bambino Baby Diaper

I got two Bambino Baby diapers to try. I have heard lots of good things about these diapers. I received the medium diaper which is big for me as I wear small diapers.

First Glance: They look great. The front panel has a baby print pattern with soft baby pastel colours. The best however is that the front is covered with a cute pattern of baby blocks spelling out "BABY". If that doesn't help regress you back to baby or toddler land nothing can! I knew from pictures I would love the look of them, and I wasn't disappointed. They rock.

The diaper: The Bambino is just a little thinner than an Abena X Plus. The plastic is softer and it has the same kind of blue waist band as those Pampers you may have worn as a little kid. Wide deep leg guards that are soft. The crotch is wide and suggests you can wear these for awhile!
Putting it on: As I said above, they are mediums and I really need a small. It took some working to get them on because of that. Its absolutely key when putting a diaper on you get a good fit at the bottom for good reason.

I had to re tape the bottom tapes three times to get the fit i needed. I was thrilled I was able to do this. The tape on most diapers would have lost its ability to stick! The sides of the diaper are big. They wrap well around my small frame, but would do a good job on those needing a medium diaper.

Absorbency: The Bambino Diaper felt good and it was thick between my legs. It gave me a little waddle and i sure knew I had a diaper on. The waist band didn't pinch or feel uncomfortable. The diaper felt good. I'm hard on diapers because I pee alot. I wore the Bambino from 4pm overnight till 9:30am the next morning. After I wet it, its started to swell up. I loved that. It felt like Huggies do when you wear them. I was in heaven. Through the later afternoon it started to swell more, the leg guards held and the diaper was getting bigger.

I love that feeling. My waddle got more pronounced. Remember this is a medium diaper on someone that should have a small diaper. When I went to bed I felt the diaper could take more, so tempting fate, I did not wear plastic pants. I wanted to know if they would leak as i am a bed wetter.

Endurance: After 17.5 hours the diaper was still holding up. It was heavy because it was wet and i messed during the night. I don't doubt it might have gone longer but I had to go out so a change was required.
AB Appeal: Very High. If this does not take you to Baby land you need to loosen up!

Rating: 5 ricky's
