Abena Abri-Form Comfort Plastic-Backed Briefs, Level 4, (Medium To Large Sizes) Medium, 14 Count

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've tried lots of different adult incontinence products and these simply hold more and leak less than anything short of MegaMax or abdl specific products. These do have a plastic backing so they have a pleasant crinkle sound but its more subtle than some. So while I do love the super padded super loud abdl style diapers the cost of these and the functionality make them hands down my everyday diapers. With a booster I can wear these 8+ hours to work through several settings with no leaks. They can get very heavy and squishy but even then don't often leak even on my heaviest days.

They work as they should.

My best value (and safest bet) for an effective overnight wear with minimal discomfort.Honestly.......there is no single standalone product that is 💯💦 effective for me overnight. -Well not that's cost effective anyway 🤔😑😕.....anymore?! whatever.......Nor is there a product that fits me perfectly comfortably.But these L4s are a decent value, and in conjunction with booster insert and exterior cover of some type I generally remain comfortable throughout the 🌙

Fit and work just like they should

The Abena X-Plus is my go-to adult diaper. I've tried plenty of brands over the years, but so far none can beat the X-Plus in terms of being a well balanced product. For me, the X-Plus provides the best balance of overall comfort, great absorbency, consistent quality, and total coverage area. Although there are a lot of specialty diapers on the market that have more absorbancy, I find the competitors to Abena's products don't often fit as well and I experience frequent leaks, particularly from the leg gathers. The Abena X-Plus is superior in this regard because the lower tapes are actually pretty low on the wings of the diaper, so it's possible to get a tight seal around each leg. The upper tapes are high enough you can get a good fit around your waistline, and that helps hold the diaper up when it's getting very saturated. Those two qualities alone go a long way in preventing leaks and letting the diaper do it's job. Many others I've tried will have both tapes higher up on the wings, and that's when I have issues with leaks from the leg area.Another beneficial attribute is the great coverage offered by the X-Plus. The absorbent material is plenty wide throughout the crotch area of the diaper, and extends pretty high up in the front and back. This means that you're well protected in almost every circumstance, as there is plenty of material available regardless of how your body is positioned. Whether you're standing, sitting, or sleeping, the X-Plus performs admirably. The fact the absorbent material rises up further than other diapers makes me feel a lot more secure when wearing these, as I know there's plenty of absorbency to go around, and I don't have to worry about leaks.Further, these do a fantastic job of wicking moisture across all of the absorbent material, as Abena uses a balanced mix of wood pulp and super absorbent polymer. This means the diaper will naturally balance out wetness across all of the absorbent material over time, which helps maximize time between changes and keeps you feeling drier in between. I also like that these are still plastic backed - I've had too many issues with cloth backed diapers either leaking through the backing material or quite frankly allowing too much odor to escape.For those that are caregivers, or for those who have a caregiver, you'll be glad to know that the wetness indicators on the outside of the diaper work very well. They turn from yellow to blue in the presence of initial wetness, and once the blue indicators start to fade it's about time to change. Not everybody will care about this feature, but it's there and it works for those who need it.Overall, these are the best of the best in my opinion. There are other diapers on the market that may do one single thing better than the Abena X-Plus, but I've never found a product that is superior in more than just one aspect. I've been wearing these for over 10 years, and as much as I have tried all the alternatives, the X-Plus continually remains my favorite.

Abena used to make a much better project, but it seems they're trying desperately to master mediocrity. Managing incontinence for 30 years, these used to be my go-to, but I dropped the brand years ago for better performing options. While traveling recently, needed to order supplies and the only 'next-day' option on Amazon was Abena.Capacity and comfort have always been good; but the quality of their tapes and pad construction is terrible. The deciding factors for me to change brands ten years ago were Abena's push to 'cloth-like' covers and their horrible tapes that tore or failed to hold. While Abena still offers these with smooth plastic backing, their tape quality is still very poor. On every brief, the tabs on the right side were either broken or folded in the middle of the tab - making it impossible to secure the brief well.Abena needs to improve their QA/QC process. While I understand this line of product has been in place for a long time, and I'd venture a guess the machines used to produce them is worn - Abena needs to make the decision: either keep the line and improve production or end the production and move on...
