Hello. Selling a variety of diapers I’ve collected and saved over the years. All are plastic aside from the goodnites and two hybrids (noted below). These span from the 90s through the 2010s. Some are fairly recent but from original runs. Don’t think I’ve opened the container this collection was in over the past five years. At least two of each unless otherwise noted. Some I have up to 5-10 off. All were kept in a sealed plastic container. Pet and smoke free. No noticeable damage, but keep in mind especially with the older diapers that age and general exposure can cause some yellowing, degradation, or minor spotting on the inside of the diaper or wetness indicator. All are as-is. Pittsburgh area if someone prefers pickup. Willing to sell in pieces or together, obviously shipping should be a consideration of the total cost. Happy to add more detailed photos of specific diapers as requested.

Hello! I’ve got three packs of large size Confidry Dry 24/7 diapers I’m selling to free up some space. Ideally local to Pittsburgh, but willing to ship, just keep in mind it can get expensive (currently $80-85 for two packs pricing it out on USPS and FedEx sites).

Not sure what to think about this XD https://totallythebomb.com/jeans-peed-your-pants?fbclid=IwAR21KZe_GnWm__ry2mO05XsRxcRRLgV_ivMVU072FFmUFl_fj9rCswElkE8

I’m hoping it’s just an adjustment to the design tweaks. But the diapers with the fabric outer tape are thinner, which personal preference aside is fine, but the result is that they all sag a lot more now. Plus the tapes are positioned really high, like as far up as you can without being off the diaper, which I’m not sure if that’s impacting the fit or not. Really love these so will see how the next batch turns out I guess.

Argh...if only they had wanted to do that a few months ago when I was actually there!

Wow! Awesomeness. Thanks for the photos

Kawaii...such a cute story so far! XD

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here at DD. : D Japan is awesome! After reading your post I want to go back there again...I miss it so much! T_T Kanashii na...

Ahh, nice! I did my undergrad around here too.

Haha, thanks. I like it too ; ) Happy to be back home with family and friends. What brings you to the area?

Yup. Actually just got back into town early this week.

Hey there! From Pittsburgh too!

I know it doesn't seem like they exist at all, but most places carry them in the company, and will request a pack or more if you ask them. I ended up just ordering from Germany, which ended up being most convenient for me. Though after some digging found the occasional UK website. My first purchase was the most nerve wracking, as I ended up venturing to a medical complex outside of town and found a medical supply store, but they were out of my size, so they had to order it anyway. The package was so big, they just barely fit into the bag I brought. I had to catch two separate buses while walking through town to transfer. Worth it, but that's why I switched to online ordering in the UK, haha.

Welcome! ::nods in agreement with the above post:: There are a lot of different ways to manage your feelings, though you'll slowly find what is best for you and makes you happy!

Hey there! From Pittsburgh...though out of the country until the 5th of July.

The apparent culture of the community, at least in DD in terms of the voiced opinion, created by itself, is that extreme exhibitionist actions are heavily frowned upon. Which itself is an extension of the culture at large and the view of misinformed or uninformed masses because of stories which make the news. It is okay for a baby to have a messy diaper…but unpleasant for others to experience. We'd all hope it was taken care of post-haste. We can all find exceptions if we look hard enough. On the individual side, I personally find smoking repugnant. Having to choke on smoke in public,inhaling all that shit expelled from other people, having it blown in my face, having to be stuck behind it on the street, and having to avoid tossed butts and having to see pictures of diseased body parts on empty boxes littered in the streets. Everything about it bothers me a lot. But I suppose I'm in the minority there, yet the general consensus has changed that is should not be forced upon people indoors and in certain outdoor areas. But overall it is accepted by most that my personal plight is overlooked and extremist. From that I could say that wearing and using in public is just the same, the smell is irritating, but they could walk elsewhere or if I'm walking by it would only be temporary. But it isn't seen as such, is it because they aren't smoking out of their asses? I don't know. It is culturally formed and reinforced. You look atthe skimpy things some people wear and ask why a diaper, which is more substantial, is not okay. Maybe the issue is the discretion lent to that area of the body as related to the bathroom and bodily waste? People want to pretend it doesn't exist (like I'd like to be able to do with smoking). There are circumstances where wearing a skimpy outfit IS inappropriate regardless. In regards to Christine, I'm going to have to disagree and side with Necros in certain regards. Your opinion is valid, and welcome, but to say that everything is very solidly right or wrong is a bit narrow and a result of socio-cultural conditioning, as well as life experiences. Again, I'm not saying it is bad or necessarily wrong. But there is a lot more grey area to everything beyond the castle walls of our lives or cultures. People do things in many various ways in all aspects of life. Taking your example of 1+1=2 and saying otherwise is ridiculous would be seen by many and agreed upon; however, 1+1=sq rt 2 is true in the case of vectors, but most are unaware of that, as I was until recently (but I understand the point you were trying to make with general views and information you had…it's impossible to know everything). It depends on the perspective. Also the fact that what has defined itself as the 'hard sciences' as epistemologically and ontologically superior, which it is no more that any of the other 'soft' sciences is because of the institutional and other factors that are wrapped in assumptions that we take for granted. Again, not saying that we can question it all, because we'd never get anywhere; however, being able to question those assumptions when aberrations appear is key to progression instead of, for example, the labeling of Copernicus a fool by his scientific peers for insinuating the earth was not the center of the universe, despite the fact that we could look up at the sky everyday and say with certainty that through OUR OBSERVATIONS that the sun moved across the sky, not the other way around. Science consists of theories, posits, and assumptions…the law of gravity is not absolute, there are aberrations. Testing runs on statistical confidence of 90, 95, or 99% confidence, certainly strong, but by no means definitive. Even something simple like determining if all doves are white, by counting and observing white doves could be done differently by different people. What do I define as white (could vary culturally or personally)? Any shade or just a bright white? Do dirty doves that look grey count? What is a proper sample size? It could be done by 100 people and come back with 100 different, yet in many ways valid, answers. Moving back to the sharp divisions, we create those, not necessarily intentionally. An outspoken minority shapes the discourse into an all or nothing dualism. I fear opening another can of worms, but say the prolife/prochoice debate. I, and I venture to guess most others fall into a grey area, if they really took the time to consider things, though I could be wrong. What I can say is that the two polarized positions are extremes themselves, and in the process of supporting them they have walled themselves in against the other pole…it attempts to remove ambiguity, but in doing so it creates a solid distinction between the two, which becomes a matter of yes or no in support of a position, not, 'yes,but…' when is the combined sperm and egg an actual person? Or what if the pregnancy has a very high risk of death for the baby and or mother? Or what if the developing person is severely damaged? Or what if the pregnant party was raped; is it the woman's body or the baby's; do we have the right to decide for the developing baby to abort it? And the list goes on. Here some may have a strong opinion or belief that there are no exceptions. That's perfectly fine, but others might find that not to be the case. And there has been lots of debate in trying to iron out details like when 'it' becomes a person, etc. Those dualistic distinctions simplify, but also generalize…which has its problems, just like moving in the opposite direction can be seen as too specific or nit-picking. The maturation and defining of a community is important, and not all agree completely, but it is what it is in regards to the socio-cultural boundaries we've created (or those before us have), whether intentionally or not; but it keeps a semblance of order, predictability, and reliability in adhering to it. Overall: 1) Be wary of hidden assumptions in our thinking (I certainly rely on many myself to make life easier, but also unintentionally overlooking those things I take for granted when looking for a solution). 2) Perspective of other possibilities can always be found. It could always be otherwise if you look at other cultures. But what we have (socially and individually in our experiences) is what we take as our practices. 3) There are many instances where there is not a solid boundary between right and wrong. Using points 1 & 2 we can see these more clearly because our culture and individual natures can blind us to other possibilities. To avoid sipping down the slippery slope of philosophical conjectures, even right and wrong are tied up in our personal and social milieu. I'd love to ponder the thrill and embarrassment of being discovered in public at times. And others, too, ponder various other acts that would likely be frowned upon by others outside and inside the ab/dl community. That is the great thing about this site, is that it allows us to explore those feelings without actually doing it. We were all noobs in the scene at one point. Should most of these people be directed to the role-play section? Probably. But we want to nurture an open-minded community and not tell people who have had the same thoughts and feelings others have had at one point or another that they are fools, losers, etc. in a condescending attitude (though we often mean well to help others avoid getting into trouble or further hurting the perception of the community). We have made great strides in developing a community that is going through growing pains as it matures in its structure here, but we need to engage, educate, and NOT give into the gut reaction of a solid boundary between right and wrong by telling another person off or putting them down (not saying all are doing this, but in general the comments can be off-putting and act condescending to isolate the other party and opinion against the generally said/unsaid majority). I count myself among one of the many, many lurkers, who make up the true majority of the community. I'm not saying they share in my opinion, but that there exists a large, unseen mass of members beyond those who are confident enough to post regularly. Taking the route of teaching, like has been done by Betty and others in various ways in this thread, but focusing more on nurturing those misinformed or who don't take the time to read the entire board archive before their first post (yet some also get annoyed when others 'necro' a long dead thread), will go a long ways in growing the community to a point where maybe, just maybe it could one day be mainstream and accepted to an extent. This cannot happen if we isolate our own. These are just my musings on the subject... ::sneaks out the side door to return to the shadows::

There are definitely loads of alternative 'plastics' made from corn, etc. that are being developed. So it is just a matter of responding to cost or public opinion for an eventual switch in the future. I don't see them going anywhere either, unless there is some other huge relative advance.

Haha! I suppose if you REALLY wanted to... Though if some place decided to deal with diapers separately, like recycling is separately collected, then it could help reduce what sits in landfills, over time It was diaper related and I thought it was interesting...doesn't mean everyone else necessarily agrees.

Came across this article on mushrooms that can break down a diaper completely in four months. I thought it was a pretty awesome possibility. http://www.economist.com/node/18584104 Bottom feeders A novel way of dealing with an unpleasant problem DESPITE their name, disposable nappies are notoriously difficult to dispose of. Studies of landfills suggest they may take centuries to rot away. But Alethia Vázquez-Morillas of the Autonomous Metropolitan University in Mexico City thinks she has found a method of speeding the process up. As she and her colleagues describe in Waste Management, cultivating the right type of mushroom on soiled nappies can break down 90% of the material they are made of within two months. Within four, they are degraded completely. What is more, she says, despite their unsavoury diet the fungi in question, Pleurotus ostreatus (better known as oyster mushrooms), are safe to eat. To prove the point she has, indeed, eaten them. The culinary use of oyster mushrooms was one reason why she picked them for the experiment. The species is frequently used in stir-fries and is often added to soups. The other reason was that Pleurotus ostreatus is widely used in what is known as mycoremediation—the deployment of fungi to clean up waste. It is, for example, already grown on agricultural materials such as wheat and barley straw, and industrial waste like coffee grounds and the leftovers from making tequila. Dr Vázquez-Morillas and her colleagues were trying to extend the oyster mushroom’s own culinary range. The reason nappies are difficult to break down has nothing to do with their use. Even a clean nappy would hang around for a long time in a dump. The main ingredient of a nappy is cellulose, an annoyingly persistent material. Pleurotus, however, grows on dead or dying trees in the wild and is thus well provided with enzymes that break cellulose down. And, since Mexicans alone throw away 5 billion nappies every year, there is plenty of material from this source for them to get their mycelia into. The idea that the result might be sold and eaten may be controversial but it is not absurd. The nappies the researchers used were contaminated only with urine, not faeces. A healthy person’s urine is sterile and Dr Vázquez-Morillas also treated the nappies with steam, to make sure. Such treatment would kill the nasty bugs in faeces, too, though, so mushrooms grown on treated nappies should, in theory, be safe to eat. In practice, overcoming the yuck factor might be an insuperable barrier to marketing nappy-grown fungi, and the cost of the steam treatment could make the exercise futile. Mycoremediation of this sort does not, however, depend for its success on selling the results. Merely getting rid of what would otherwise hang around indefinitely is worthwhile. And of the fungi themselves, Dr Vázquez-Morillas observes, “they are cleaner than most of the vegetables you can find in the market, at least in Mexico.

I think I've seen that one on here before. There are a few other minor references, but the character is mostly superfluous to the series. But I liked that it was worked in...also a very graphic series...too gory for me, but interesting philosophical thoughts raised, lol.

Very nice!

Ditto on the locking footlocker.

I've thought about that too in the past. The only thing I'd be concerned about is that while it absorbs, does it hold it well. Like if you stuffed a diaper with it, soaked it, then sat down, would the pressure unleash a torrent, lol. If you do try it out, definitely let me know how it goes!

Don't know if this has been brought up before, but this is a more serious manga, but there are a few pages in this chapter that reference diapers; nothing visible. Just figured I would share the link. http://www.mangaread...chapter-15.html
