Thanks to people on this site mentioning their existence, I managed to locate and purchase these for myself. As with the other Rearz products I have reviewed, these diapers boast a much higher absorbency than most others on the market. In addition, they list 12 hours of protection just like the Princess, Rebel and Safari series. However it should be noted that Rearz Rebel, Rearz Princess and Rearz Safari are all listed to have a capacity of 4981ml compared to the Rearz Lil' Monsters with a capacity of 3700ml. That is quite a significant difference considering all Rearz products boast 12 hours of protection.
Let's begin with design. Overall appearance is beautiful! These are some of the cutest diapers I have ever owned and used! They are a mostly white and blue diaper with a bit of purple separating the colors. In the white area there are 4 monsters, a yellow one, a blue one, a pink one amd a purple one. They are all super cute and something I would expect to find on a baby diaper. Speaking of things I expect on a baby diaper, these are the ONLY Rearz product that I know of to have a wetness indicator in the form of fading monster "paw prints" between the monsters.
Let's get to absorbency. Now I would like to state for the record that my experience will be different as I am incontinent and also on a medication that causes me to be very thirsty, thus I drink and pee a LOT. In my time with the Rearz Lil' Monsters, they have held up for close to 9 hours before leaking. Unfortunately when they started leaking I was at my doctor's office and nearly broke down when I had to explain to the nurse that I had an accident on the chair in the waiting room. Regardless I got about 9 hours of use before leaking. Upon removing the diaper, the front and middle were flooded but the back still had a lot of dry padding. This happens to all diapers that I wear as I spend a lot of time on my feet, especially at work. Anyways, for the 9 hours I had one on for the other day, it remained comfortable the entire time. I didn't even realize how wet it was until I leaked on the chair in the doctor's office. I didn't feel wet or uncomfortable at all the entire time I had it on which I like about Rearz diapers. I never get that gross wet feeling that I get from other diapers.
Moving on to sound. This is something I love about diapers is the crinkle. Rearz Lil' Monsters are actually the best damn crinkle of any Rearz product that I have tried. Most people may be a bit turned off by the crinkle and want something less noisy and more discrete. I'm the oddball that LOVES a nice crinkly diaper! I don't care if people hear it. I LOVE noisy diapers!
Finally let's talk about tape. These are the normal adhesive tape that Rearz normally uses but oddly enough, it doesn't seem to work well on these ones. I am not sure if I got a bad batch or what but they just lose their adhesion way too quickly. I had one on to sleep in earlier and I fell asleep and woke up in the same position. Sometimes I move a bit in my sleep but this morning was a rare time when I didn't move at all until I woke up. Even as still as I was during my sleep, I still woke up to one of the tapes being entirely unstuck from the diaper. Thankfully ot didn't cause any leaks but still. It seems like I barely even have to move for the tapes to lose their grip. Which is quite sad really as I love these diapers! They would be my all-time favorites if not for that one issue with the tapes.
If I had to give a rating to these diapers, they definitely score a 4/5 with just how cute they are, how comfy and absorbent they are and for having the awesome crinkle. Despite the issues with tge tapes there is one more issue with these diapers. The cost. These are $32.99 for a pack of 14 medium diapers. That's about $2.36 per diaper. That actually falls right between the price per piece for a CASE of Rearz Princess at $3.03 for 36 ($110) and Rearz Rebel at $2.03 for 72 ($146). I would still recommend them to anyone wanting a super thick, absorbent, crinkly and babyish diaper. Just do yourself a favor and reinforce the tapes with some duct tape if you're going to be active.
