Just wanted to let anyone know, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or more specifically Santa Clara / Silicon Valley / South Bay, I found some actual stores you can walk into and buy thick plastic disposable diapers!

You can buy Abena Abri-form X-plus M4's and L4's (they sell both premium AND regular plastic backing kind) disposable diapers from a medical supply store called "Gateway Healthcare Products". They are located at: 112 E. Fremont Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94087. Their phone number is: (408) 735-7444


I get packs of M4s regular with plastic backing from them every few weeks. I know they have made a comment or two that I'm the only one they buy them for, so I'm hoping if other ABDL's in the area start going there, they'd carry more of a selection!


Also, I found another medical supply store that carries Molicare diapers (the thickest model) and also sells plastic pants too. It's called "ABC Medical Supply & Equipment" and they are located at: 1029 S Bascom Ave, San Jose,‎ CA‎ 95128. Their phone number is: (408) 295-1526


There's another store called "Alliance medical supply" in San Jose that sells Tranqulity ATN's. But I stopped going to both stores when I found out gateway sells the thickest Abena Abri-Form X-Pluses!!!

how muchare they?

[grayfile]

Thats good that you found a place that carries abri forms. The best diapers that I can get locally are ATN. I have found a place about three hours away that I frequent for business that carries Molicare Super Plus. The price is not that much higher than the net, so I usually get a couple of bags when I am in town.

I have also had medical supply stores order diapers just for me and I am pretty sure that they kept certain diapers in stock because they knew that I would buy them. I hope that more people buy from them so that they keep ordering them. That is a good business to support since they look like they are trying to offer a good product for you.

I am going up there today...it's about 25 minutes from where I live in San Jose. I hope their prices aren't too high like other Medical supply stores.

I have been to ABC Medical and bought Molicare but it was $35/bag. I bought two but vow to never pay that much again...especially when you can get a case for less than $100 online.

[lilchris]

Thanks for the heads up. I went there today and got a case of X-Plus.

[Leilin]

Hornsnyder's pharmacy in Santa Cruz carries/can order them too.

[diaperlovernv]

It was about $65/case at Gateway for Large X-plus. The guy was super helpful. Still I think I will order online since it is about 25 minutes each way up there.

Hum, so do they just sell by the case? If they sell by the bag also, do you know how much? I have to hide them and there is no way I can easily hide a whole case. So I am stuck buying by the bag at really expensive prices, even online due to the cost of shipping for shipping a single bag.

I had been getting the Molicare myself at ABC Medical until one day I drive there and see an empty store.

I did just order samples from xpmedical as I want to try some new ones and revisit some that I have not tried in awhile to see if they work any better now for me. I actually had some problems wit the xplus last time tried them, but if I can pick a bag up locally and be impulsive/impatient like I am then that is awesome!

Hum, so is Gateway still in business? Their website for sure is down...

About $22 for a box. Just picked up some today, along with some plastic pants. The big-breasted clerk there always remembers when I walk in that I want diapers, and while there was a few other people in the store she loudly shouted "ah hi, you're here for the diapers?". I bought a box of M4s and a box of L4's.

yup, sure is!

[dl_ashlee]

Glad to hear it. So these are the X-Plus with Plastic? I tried a sample from xpmedical of the delta-form L3 which is suppose to be equal in absorbency to the normal XPlus L4, but from what I remember of the XPlus a year ago these were no where close to the thickness or absorbency of the XPlus.

That is amazing only $22 for a bag of L4? Anything under $30 would still be a good deal. They are $21 before shipping/tax at xpmedical, so I think it ends up being a total of $33 if I just have one package shipped to me.

I just got a bag of Molicare Super Plus shipped to me, but once those are running low I will be heading over to this store to try me a bag of the recent L4.

Glad to see stores are carrying those diapers we enjoy wearing. Hopefully this will happen on the islands one of these days!!!! Enjoy!!!

I went and bought some Abena L4 Plastic Back from Gateway today, very happy right now. Except for the first one I tried gave me a couple pinhole leaks at the bottom of the back side. Checking a dry one feeling down the middle of the diaper I can feel hard little crystals that might be the cause of the pinholes. I think the problem was I put it on mid afternoon and took it off just a bit ago. I think those hard crystals rubbing on the back when I sit are poking pinholes in the diaper. I hope to remendy this by getting some duck tape and hopefully finding the spots where pinholes are appearing and stop them rubbing through the thin back sheet.

So buying from Gateway you have not had any problems with the Abena's? I am hoping I just got a bad bag.

nope, no problems here. and I been buying about every two weeks.

I just bought another bag of M4's (with plastic backing) today at gateway, and was surprised to see they are now being packaged in a completely clear bags!   It's the exact same packaging they have always been in, except it looks like they didn't print any graphics on the plastic bag.   So its just a clear bag (much like those generic diapers you see in clear bags).

 

 

I have to admit, as I'm into diaper humiliation, that not only does it look kind of hot (I love seeing stacks of diapers, and now that these are tightly bound in a clear bag, it's like a stack of diapers with a handle now) that it gave me a big erection walking out of the store in broad daylight with a clear bag of diapers.   Everyone in the parking lot could see what I had just bought and I had to walk across the entire parking lot as it was packed!

 

 

 

P.S.  They like to push the premium ones more, by having them front and center on the shelves.   But if you ever walk into the store, ask for the regular standard M4's and they will retrieve them from the back room.
