Bambino Diapers
The question is what could be the next move for Bambino Diapers? Or, more importantly what would people really truly like to see next from Bambino that would make you go “YES!” or “Wow!”. Everyone of course will have their own opinions and wants but there typically is a consistent overall consensus.
Personally, what I would like to see come out next is simple but I think would be a huge hit in the adult baby and diaper lover world. I would like to see a thick (as thick or thicker than the Bambino Bellissimo) all-white adult diaper with blue tapes. If they had to add thickness somewhere more than others I would like to see the thickness more in the butt and back of the diaper. It adds that babyish feeling to it. The blue tapes bring back memories of the original Attends Diapers with the blue tapes that everyone loved so much before they did away with them. I think a very thick all-white, soft-plastic adult diaper with blue tapes would sell like wildfire and I would be their first customer to jump on it and buy it. Just thinking about that diaper makes me excited if they were to EVER come out with it.
Other things I think would be neat would be the Bambino Bellissimo diaper but with a different design.
Bambino Diapers specializes in making the best adult diaper on the market and hopefully they stick with the trend of adult baby diapers and grow that line of products more and more – I would much rather see that then them try and branch off into other random adult baby items. Because in the end, the importance of the diaper is #1 typically in an ABDL’s mind. If the diaper doesn’t feel babyish or good or comforting or perform right – then, it ruins the feeling of that babyish feeling to some extent.
So, the question is what is next for Bambino Diapers? Whatever it is, I am sure it will be exciting – in the meantime I will be waiting and anticipating hopefully my all-white adult diaper with blue tapes 🙂
The extra thick, all white diaper would be a nice addition to their line, but I would cross it with the ABU Cushies and give it one really strong tape on each side. Bambino is by far the best for thickness and absorbency, but I love the way the Cushies fit and the tapes are way stronger.
What I’d like to see are Bambinos sold in stores. For everyone who buys online, there are plenty who would rather go to a store and see, to feel, and possibly to try on, a Bambino adult diaper.
That would be AWSOME! go to the store and get 2 or 3 free samples of Bambino diapers to try.
I like to see Bambino’s in different designs. Not just the frontal design that says “BABY” but in multiple designs. Maybe they could put one with just balloons or cartoon animal characters, etc. Have multiple choices of what design you prefer. Just like buying baby diapers. They come make them in a variety of ways. I like to see that happen. I don’t mind the Bambino diaper but I’m not in all for the AB diaper. That says Baby in front. I’m a diaper lover, not really an AB. Although I own footed PJ’s, and onsies.
Hey as long as they don’t change quality and comfort, I agree. A different print on the Bellissimo like the Teddy print I like better. The all white diaper as thick and as good as the Bellissimo I’m with ya on that too!
I agree, Bambino. Quality is everything. If the tapes come undone, that’s crappy quality. I’ve had plenty of diapers where the tapes some undone and some have the plastic come apart when I need to re-position the tapes. If that isn’t shitty quality, I don’t know what is.
I agree with that, All diapers need to have VERY strong tapes that won’t come apart and different designs like baby diapers.
Honestly, I think Bambino could clinch the title as the perfect AB/DL producers by setting up a site with more customization. For a few more bucks, I’d be absolutely ecstatic to have the ability to generate a diaper of my own choice with their presses available to the consumer to ship! The ability to get a teddy Bambino with Bellissimo thickness? Yes please. Even thicker? I’d be exuberant! A number of other patterns available to tack onto a diaper, a wee bit thicker or even less for those looking for day time diapers from Bambino.
I’m a consumer that loves customization, and a home gathered kit to customize isn’t quite up to snuff, really.
That would be nice, t create your own diaper, it would be just like that and it would have the old time pampers odor, when I was an infant and toddler, I wore pampers, and still love them.
LOVE the thick bulky diapers more butt padding would be great wider crotch love to waddle that is the perfect fit for a good happy baby
I’m more practical when it comes to diapers. I don’t mind bulkiness if there’s some functional purpose. Like for example. I like a diaper to be absorbent enough to absorb as much as one can dish out for the day before I need a diaper change.
I like that too, a diaper where it’s got lots of fluff and big elastic leg gathers leaks.
Interesting advertising for Bambino…
I’ll stick to cloth 90% of the time and a high quality, highly absorbent, yet as thin as practical disposable diaper for the remainder of my need. There again, for those who want to feel and look diapered, thicker is likely better, as well as wider crotch area. You may want to consider a louder plastic sound too to include all senses. One thing I truly do think would be great is to have premium diapers available on drug store and grocery shelves to offer people easy access to what they want or need. As for the current offerings (Depend, and all the other cheap stuff), they would likely be out of business soon if people had easy access to much better quality.
Though I love Bambinos, making them available in Europe would be wonderful! As an American living in Spain, I usually use Abenas.
I’d like to see all-over prints like the Cushies over at ABU. I don’t really care for the sharp demarcation of the design that the tape panel on the Bambino’s creates, and a more flowing, all-over design would really help me appreciate the look more.
That’s fine, but I’d like my diapers without prints.
I would love to see a plain white Bellisimo. That would be too cool.
So would I.
If they made them as thick as Abena and you can buy them in store, I would buy them in seconds
So would I, believe me.
I would too.
A coloured backsheet would be pretty cool to see and maybe easier than a printed backsheet? Other than that they’ve pretty much got everything covered. It’s always exciting when Bambino releases a new product!
Same here. To me, it’s not what a diaper looks like – after all, it’s usually covered by pants and other clothing – but about how well it contains what you do.
I agree Jason, a diaper is specifically made for protection to keep what a wearer dishes out, nothing else, Whether you soil in it or we in it.
Do you all think they’re coming out with something new??
I wish I could say for sure. I’ve never worn Bambino diapers before. It’d be fun to see something new and different.
Hope so, i’d order a couple samples to try.

I would like to see the ultimate pull up. There just arnt any babyish pull ups close except for goodnites. If it had a soft of platic cover to it that would be even better!
I agree. I’m not a big fan of pull-on diapers, but if they fit up to waist sizes up to 45-50″, that’d help for those who are heavy set.
ok so I would rreally love to see them come out with an adult baby pull up really thick pull up like goodnites !!!!!!!!!!
I’d go for that. I’d really like to see them sold in stores. 🙂
What a coincidence. I just put in my very first order for some samples from Bambino.
I guess I’d love to see a new thick all-white diaper. I’m more of a classic Diaper Lover so I don’t need much in the way of babyish prints.
I agree. Adult diapers aren’t baby diapers, so they don’t need all that infantile look to them. It’s all a matter of personal taste. I’m more for function than look. If a diaper can contain whatever you do until you can change into a clean diaper, then I’d be a happy man. 🙂
Me too, i’m a classic DL meaning pampers.
Bambino is a great company; they are in a niche market but still offer great customer service and my FSA accepts receipts from them for my healthcare reimbursement. Since I am genuinely incontinent, getting healthcare dollars for diapers isn’t a problem as long as the products I buy are diapers, pull-ups or labeled for incontinence. My wife was the one that got me to try Bambino’s products and they are superior to any disposable out there, even Abena in my opinion.
As far as new products, my wife would love to see a monkey print since monkeys are our ‘mascot’. Thicker than Bellissimo in the butt and rear section would be great for all-day wetting and definitely would add to the baby appeal but the leg elastics would need to work better to protect from press-out in that area since diapers tend to sag there without a fitting product or onesie over top. They would probably be closer to $2+ a diaper for mediums, but I would pay that (pre-tax makes it cheaper).
Overnight I would still use Bellissimo with a doubler since it is rare I can actually use more than just past the beginning of the rear panel. However, for times when I am frustrated with leakage in the evening or my back is acting up I would definitely appreciate something even thicker and more absorbent :).
Take care,

While I’d still prefer the Bambino Bianco, I agree. I don’t like a diaper that sags. That makes for serious leaks.
I’d prefer they make a nighttime or bed and wheelchair diaper for those of us who don’t have to worry about walking with a bulky diaper. It’s rather harder to find a place to change me that an able bodied person, so a more infant like diaper, with heavier padding and Ph neutralization etc would be a godsend, yet none of the other adult diaper makers have anything close except Fabine, and some of the insane patterns they sell are even sillier than that on the Bellasimo, and don’t look half as good.
I’ve never tried Fabine. For some reason, they’re not sold in stores. They should be.
You took the same idea for a new diaper out my head, WOW!
But, that is the Best Diaper Model Yet!
I REALLY HOPE IT GETS MADE!
I’ve worn the Abenas and while they’re absorbent enough, I’ve never been a fan of diapers that have cloth like backing. Cloth is fine if it’s a reusable cloth diaper, but for disposable diapers, definitely plastic.
@Jason,
The main reasons Fabine, Bambino, Awww So Cute, ABUniverse, etc. are not sold in stores is:
a) They are primarily for the AB/DL community which is outside the normal incontinent community.
b) Any association between adults and child-like diapers is a very strong public taboo, and
c) Stores could never hope to turn a profit since volume would be too low for required shelf space, prices too high and VERY few people would actually purchase them through stores due to the humiliation factor. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a store purchasing a package of Bambinos, even though I use them every day and don’t have a problem submitting my many receipts from them (over $1,000) to my FSA.
A certain modicum of discretion is necessary in the AB/DL community – the more it is flaunted the less acceptance it will gain, whether or not members of the community truly have a need for the products or not (which I do). Internet ordering is safest for all; if one cannot get packages to their home then a PO box is another option.
Take care,
Colin
@ Colin: I agree. That can be a problem. If they were sold under a different name, that might help.
Another neat thing they could do is add a “feel wet” liner. Many of us enjoy the feeling of a wet diaper and by the time we can feel any level of wetness our diaper is leaking. I would love to feel wet in my diaper, while not being anywhere near the point of leaking.
I can usually tell when I’m wet. I don’t need a “feel wet” liner. What I need is a diaper that has plastic outer shell, not some cloth like outer area. Cloth is fine for cloth diapers. But these are disposable diapers we’re talking about.
Actually, Gordon doesn’t need the feel-wet liner although he would enjoy it. It would be a product that would appeal to those that want to feel wet in their diapers. I think it’s a cool idea :). The feel-wet liner isn’t on the outside, either. It’s on the inside. All of Bambino’s products are plastic-backed except for their Abena cloth-backed products.
Take care,
Colin
OK. As a male, the thing I have always wanted to see in a diaper is a pocket. Basically between the leg gathers you would put a thin sheet with a hole (elastic around the hole). You would put your organ inside the hole as you put on the diaper. This would prevent my biggest pain which is a wet bed because it wouldn’t leak when laying on your side. However, this would also render the diaper pretty useless for women so I doubt anyone would ever make it.
@ LargeDiaperz: I agree. That’s basically what a diaper is, a large pocket to wear over your lower half. I see it as a makeshift toilet, something to use if you can’t be near the real thing.
I would love to see a thicker all white diaper from Bambino too. My preference would be that they model it after the disposable baby diapers I remember wearing in childhood, ie the 1970s vintage pampers that were extra thick and crinkly. I remember that my pampers were very conspicuous and made me feel babyish.
I remember when adult diapers were more bulky than they are now. They looked similar to the baby diapers, except they were bigger, to fit adult sizes, plus they had more than one set of tapes.
I agree with that, when I was an infant and toddler, I wore only pampers, not Huggies or Luvs, only pampers, LOVE em.
Well, I just bought a case of the Bambino diapers with the new “softer” lining and I have to tell you I am very disappointed. They are thin and hold less than half of what the old Bambinos hold and they DO NOT swell like the old ones. Now I am stuck with a case of diapers that suck. I’ve been a faithful Bambino customer, but if this is the new quality, I will find another brand to invest in. I’ve sent two emails to the company, but have yet to hear from them. If I wanted thin, leaky diapers I would buy Depends. Gordon
I haven’t worn Depends in a long time, and I can see why. They’re almost paper thin, and they barely hold any more than a dribble wetting. I’m talking about the fitted briefs (diapers with tapes). In other words, they suck!
I know, Depends SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know the need to be discreet, but get real! It’s impossible to be discreet when your diaper leaks and piss starts running down your pants legs.
For sure
Or worse. If you for some reason poop in your diaper and shit leaks out the sides. That can be a disaster. 🙁
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly!
I compared one of my older Bambino diapers against the new ones and I am right. The new “softer” lined diapers barely hold a full wetting and will leak on the second. They don’t swell up and the stuffing falls apart. I sure hope they correct this. I don’t know why they had to mess with a product that works and we all loved.
Wish I’d have read this yesterday before ordering a case of the new Teddy’s from them (they being out of the Bellasimo right now). I have to use these for MS related incontinence and my regular choice, the Dry 24/7, went offline forever after a short but brilliant run. Meanwhile I’m hassling with the VA about prescriptions, my size is fluctuating so I’m RIGHT in between a medium and a large for most brands, and now the new ones don’t work even as well as the already second rate teddies did before . . . just NOT good.
As for why they messed with the product, I imagine they did it to increase their margins and cut down on shipping expense, the same reason diapers for adults got worse and worse as companies in the US found out that Medicaid or Medicare or Obamacare gives them the same money even if the product costs half of what a competing decent product does, giving those producing the crappiest products the best bidding advantage.
I’m not a big fan of today’s diapers. They may be softer, but they suck in terms of absorbency and containment. What’s always pissed me off is how poorly the tapes keep the diapers in place.
FYI… Bambino Bellissimo are not out of stock , I just checked. They still have in stock the Bellissimo with the print upside down. Secondly , how do you know dry 24/7 is done. I received an email from them at the beginning of February that says they are still working things out. Due to Bambino lack of responses on faulty product and now this new less absorbent run, I would like to try dry 24/7.
