![]() ![]() The NorthShore MegaMax easily absorbed the first wetting while standing with minimal pooling. Padding to Absorbency Score: 0.70 ml / cm 2 (0.16 oz / in 2) Its performance was backed up in real world testing, even when wet this diaper rarely felt damp and it deserves a spot among the top performers in this regard.Ģ.1 Wet vs Dry Diaper After Capacity TestĢ.2 Used vs Unused Padding After Capacity Test I couldn’t give it a perfect score because I do account for the fact a significant amount of moisture was repelled by the topsheet and could result in a lot of temporary surface dampness. During lab testing there was no apparent surface dampness in the first 3 wettings and no substantial surface dampness until the 6th wetting. The NorthShore MegaMax performed very well when it came to surface dampness. ![]() Total Padding to Absorbency Ratio: 1.05 ml / cm 2 (0.24 oz / in 2) Total Absorption Volume (before press out): 1942 ml (68.5 oz) Total Absorption Volume (after press out): 1917 ml (67.63 oz) Padding Wing Shape (Front, Rear): Semicircle, Semicircle Wing Shape (Front, Rear): Rectangular, Rectangular Inner Color: White (bright blue rectangle in middle padding)ĭiaper Dimensions (L x fW x mW x bW): 80 cm (31.5") x 63 cm (24.8") x 34 cm (13.4") x 62 cm (24.4") Manufacturer: China Hengyuan Group Co., Ltdĭimensions (L x W x H): 29 cm (11.4") x 17 cm (6.7") x 25 cm (9.8")Īdvertised Absorbency: Maximum (12 hours) However, other available sizes are listed below: That said, perhaps with some design improvements it could be a great diaper for long duration wear.įor the purpose of this post I will be reviewing and referring to the small-sized NorthShore MegaMax Diaper. Also, it’s marketed as a medical diaper, but it comes at a very high unit cost and after testing both I feel the NorthShore Supreme provides a better value. The theoretical capacity of this diaper is certainly much greater than observed in testing, perhaps closer to the lab test result. Overall, I found this diaper to be comfortable and surprisingly breathable, but it fell short when it came to absorbency, largely as a result of the topsheet repelling moisture causing leakage through the sides. The sizing is comparable to the ConfiDry 24/7, which now has me curious about how the small size of that diaper would fit. The sizing of this diaper runs large and in my review, following the recommended sizing I went with a small rather than the usual medium. The backsheet comes in several additional colors including blue, pink, black and tie-dye (of all things). The topsheet is also far more resistant to surface dampness than those other diapers, while the waistbands are wider. However, its padding is thinner and has a honeycomb-like texture. The exterior is similar to those diapers with a firm plastic landing zone. ![]() But in contrast to the Rearz, Forsite or Bambino diapers, the MegaMax has a considerably different construct, suggesting a different manufacturing process. In this way it follows a trend of companies like Rearz or Forsite importing from China to market as in house. It’s the second of their “in house” line of products, introduced after the NorthShore Supreme and advertised as more absorbent, but comes with a higher price. The NorthShore MegaMax is a high absorbency adult diaper sold by the incontinence supplier NorthShore. ![]()
