My Official Review of the Bambino brand ABDL diapers
Now I know that nearly everyone in the ABDL community raves about these diapers, but I’m pretty upset with them. The first time I bought them, I was told to purchase the XL because even though the L may sound like it will fit, they apparently run small. Well, apparently they run even smaller than that because the XL is supposed to fit waists over 61″ and I still have issues with sizing. I’m not going to reveal my waist size, we’ll just say that it falls into what should be the L size range for the Bambinos (L is supposed to fit waists size 45 to 60 inches). My most recent experience with them, I was putting them on myself, and due to the size, I ended up ripping the sides and couldn’t keep it on, even with packing tape. There are two tabs, and at only one square inch apiece, they are far too small for my liking. They also fasten strictly as tape, so they’re nearly impossible to readjust more than once. I can’t say I know how absorbant they are, as I only put up with them long enough to wet once. They do have a few advantages over incontinence diapers, in that the Classico diapers have a very cute print (kind of a vintage baby diaper print). Both the Bianco and Classico diapers are very thick, and claim to be very absorbant. Definite waddle factor with these diapers. They are also very crinkly. However, at an average of 2 dollars per diaper (depending upon which size package you buy them in), I would personally say they are not worth the cost. Perhaps if Bambino redid their sizing (as I know I am not the only person who has had an issue there, hence the recommendation to try one size up) and figured out a way to redevelop the fastening system, perhaps by covering the front panel with the cloth-like diaper material (which wouldn’t detract from the crinkle factor, and would still allow for a design) and redesigning the tabs, it would be more worth it. I also believe that Bambino would benefit by offering different designs, perhaps some that are more girly and some that are more boyish. All in all, I would give these diapers a 2 out of 5.

More Diaper Pictures!
Sooo… Someone super super nice bought me a box of Bambinos to play with and I got them today and put one on and took some more pictures while I had it on. Unfortunately, it did not fit right. I might try again but I think I’m still going to have the same problem. So far, I definitely prefer the Tena Ultra Stretch Briefs. They’re easier to put on yourself, cheaper, and roomier. Plus the longer tab and full-velcro of the tab, compared to the one-inch, mostly-tape tabs of the Bambinos were a huge plus and allowed for easy readjustments and more security in fastening. They’re also cheaper, at about a buck each, as opposed to anywhere from 2-4 bucks each. Also, the Tena’s are stronger and much less prone to tearing/ripping (which kept happening when I was putting the Bambinos on – had to resort to packing tape, and even then they kept trying to come off). So, now on my little wishlist are more Tena Ultra Stretch Briefs (hint: go donate so I can buy more and take more diaper pictures and tell more diaper stories!). Anyway, you wanted pictures, right?
