So I went to pick up my diaper shopping today and chucked it in the car and went straight to work. There is something about knowing you have a whole bunch of cool new diapers to try out and your stuck all day at work. Anyway, after plenty of mucking around, I got home this evening and snuck in my boxes of new diapers while my house mates were occupied. I tell you, diapers and house mates is tough, especially when they don't know and you have absolutely no desire to tell them :P but thats a story for next time.
Anyway the first thing I did was open a pack of the Abena pull-ups that I was talking about. Let me say they are AMAZING. Possibly the best fitting pull up I have ever tried, and to top it of they are incredibly comfortable. The fabric that they are made from feels like satin against your skin. So I will post some pics tomorrow and let you know how they perform, but so far so good =)

New diapers!
Hi All,
Finally it's starting to get cooler, thank god! If you haven't already picked up, I am not a summer person whatsoever. Normally this time of the year is still pretty hot, luckily enough we have been getting a lot of rain. In fact we have had so much, I cant remember when the last time it rained for the better part of 2 weeks straight. There are a lot of people who I am sure are very happy to see the rain. The rain has reached much further inland which is fantastic for our farmers who have been in drought for decades. Unfortunately with the good there is always the bad, a lot of the eastern part of Australia has been effected by sever flash flooding (Melbourne) and very serious flooding in Queensland. Anyways enoughabout the weather.
So I am about to try out some new diapers, I have just done some shopping and stocked up on my regulars, Tena super slips and Abri-form extra but I have also decided to try out some pullups. I have been wearing Eenee Pants with flushable inserts all summer and have been really loving the convenience and the fact that I can wear them to work without feeling overly paranoid, So I thought I would try out Abena abrflex special.
I have used pullups before like the Tena pants but never really liked the fit, they were always really loose feeling. I love the tightness of regular diapers so I think this always made it had to make the change. Also the capacity was average and they leaked which forced me to wear plastic pants which is not always convenient.
So anyways, I will keep you updated and I will post some pics when I get them in a couple of days.

At Home
So its not often that I get the chance to have a day off at home alone and I get the opportunity to do nothing more than hanging out. Its currently summer here in Australia and diapers are usually just not an option because of the heat. Over the last couple of days it has been raining and overcast which has kept the heat away. Its not uncommon for it to reach 35deg C with 70% humidity, so it gets sticky very, very quickly.
Nothing beats a nice cosy Abena, my favourite pair of plastic pants and a t-shirt :-) . At the moment my favourite diapers are the Abena's followed by Tena slips for when I want to wear diapers out. I find the Tena's just a little thinner and not as obvious under clothes. I also have some fantastic all in ones from Kins in canada which I strongly recommend.
As summer is usually too hot to wear in diapers where I live, I have discovered a comfortable alternative, In summer, pretty much the only thing I can wear without sweating more than peeing, is Eenee Undies, a breathable waterproof pant that looks like a regular pair of undies. The other fantastic thing is that they also make flushable pads to use in them which are FANTASTIC! really worth checking out. www.eenee.com.au
Any way I am off to watch a movie,
