Recently got a case of medium dry 24/7 and to me the plastic seems duller and quieter. There is a noticeable difference in the tapes. There is more "blue" showing (like the 2015 original post picture of this thread) and the blue backing is dull like duct tape - it doesn't have a landing zone layer of shine to it. The outer shell plastic seems to rip easier too. I think this is the old version.
From what I can read I think most of us enjoy the "smooth crinkle" plastic feature of the 24/7 and from the pictures I can see the current/new version of the 24/7 has smooth, louder plastic and the tapes have a small amount of blue showing (1/8" vs 1/4" old version) and the blue tape portion under the white tape has a very shiny smooth layer over it if you peel off the white tape, almost like a landing zone cover.
Can someone help me out?
Old version - duller plastic, 1/4" strip of blue tape showing on tapes, dull duct-tape blue tape surface
New version - smoother plastic, 1/8" strip of blue showing on tapes, shiny smooth blue tape surface
These have been a main-use diaper for me and I just want to make sure I got a older case and not a new case. This is my first post and I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks!
Edit in -just noticed that that "old" version doesn't have any light blue at all showing on the blue tapes. The new version has a very small amount of light blue showing, I guess because there is a shiny landing zone layer on it.
If this understanding is correct please let me know. Thanks again.
