Diaper Review: InControl BeDry EliteCare Premium

Hello, dear readers! It’s Crinkle Cat here, back with a diaper review tailored for the adult baby/diaper lover (ABDL) and babyfur community. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the InControl BeDry EliteCare Premium Incontinence Briefs.

When I first put these diapers on, I immediately recognized how comfy they were. The EliteCares are bulky and can be a little noisy when they’re worn without anything else over them. But the moment I slipped on some plastic pants or boxer-briefs over them, the noise and bulkiness were surprisingly suppressed.

As someone who has heavy bladder voids and am usually skeptical about diapers that promise 10,000 ml absorbency, I was pleasantly surprised by this diaper. Despite some issues here and there, the EliteCares are quite dependable for those who often put diapers through a stress test. The diaper swells gradually and store away most of the odor, which means a lot to me as a 24/7 wearer. I can press on the outer shell after a wetting, and it won’t leak out the front.

Let’s get down to the pros and cons of the InControl BeDry EliteCare Premium Incontinence Briefs:

Here are the pros:

1. Maximum Absorbency: InControl boasts that these briefs offer “unbeatable leakage protection” with a “super absorbent core.” From personal experience, I can attest that these diapers can indeed handle multiple wettings, making them ideal for extended wear or overnight use. If you’re staying hydrated and wet on a regular enough schedule to require 2-3 changes a day, the absorbency is perfect.
2. Breathable Waterproof Plastic Outer Layer: The diaper has a breathable, cloth-like plastic outer layer, which is a comfortable and unique texture that I don’t see enough. This feature is fantastic for reducing the risk of diaper rash and irritation, and it also makes the diaper quite discreet, especially when wet.
3. Refastenable Hook and Loop Tapes: The EliteCare briefs come with strong, adjustable hook and loop tapes that InControl claims is “easy to fasten and unfasten.” True. This allows for a secure and customizable fit, ensuring the diaper stays in place during all your activities. As someone who is physically active during the week, these tapes definitely come in handy.
4. Soft, Comfortable Inner Lining: InControl describes as “soft and gentle against the skin.” I think it definitely does. No chaffing of the skin when the diaper is on for an extended period. Doesn’t hurt to line the inside of the diaper with some baby powder for added comfort, by it’s comfortable as is.
5. Wide Range of Sizes: InControl offers these diapers in sizes ranging from Small to XX-Large, catering to a broad range of users. The diapers do run on the smaller side, however, but when taped and adjusted correctly, you can achieve a nice, snug fit.
6. Value: InControl BeDry EliteCare Premium Incontinence Briefs are a great value. For example, a case of three bags of 12 diapers for $89 USD before tax is excellent. That’s approximately $2.47 per 10,000 ml diaper. Compare this to Trest Elite Care diapers at around 9,500 ml. A case of three bags of 10 Trest diapers each for those put you at $96, so that’s $3.20 a diaper.

And the cons:

1. Absorbing Core Position: While not explicitly mentioned by InControl, it’s important to note that the absorbing triple-action core sits rather low in the diaper. This design may suit women better than men, so it’s something to consider depending on your anatomy. With the male anatomy, the diaper rides up against an area that isn’t fully protected by the Whiff-X core, so there is a chance of leaks if a man is pointing straight or slightly up.
2. Leaking During Heavy Flooding: Although InControl emphasizes the brief’s leakage protection, users should be aware that heavy flooding can sometimes lead to leaks. The core wicks moisture quickly to the leg gathers, which may cause overflow. I noticed about 8-10 seconds into a consistent, no-drip void the feeling of seepage by the leg gathers. I’d recommend reducing the heaviness of the flow slightly once you get that feeling to prevent leaks.
3. Bulkiness: While InControl mentions that these briefs are designed for “discretion and dignity,” some users might find them a bit bulky compared to other brands. This isn’t necessarily a negative, but rather a personal preference. Personally, I found the bulkiness to be easily mitigated with tight-fitting underwear placed over the diaper.

Overall Impression:

The InControl BeDry EliteCare Premium Incontinence Briefs offer a compelling blend of absorbency, comfort, security and value. Their breathable backing, strong tapes, and wide range of sizes make them a popular choice among the AB/DL and babyfur community. However, the position of the absorbing core and the potential for leaks during heavy flooding are factors to consider when deciding if these briefs are the right fit for you.

Always remember that diaper choice is highly personal. What works best for you will depend on your unique needs and preferences. I hope this review, combined with the information from InControl’s product page, helps you make an informed decision!

Until next time, stay padded and happy crinkling!
