i know a solid block color isn't for everyone; for me it feels quite nice, but overall i really like these. normally i use a northshore megamax and this feels like a new iteration of that design. nice and comfy, large capacity, and feels nice whether dry or wet. a big thing for me is how well the shape of the diaper hugs the back of my legs. normally it's loose back there and the primary place i leak. this fixes that issue.
