Understand what you mean. I may not like the guy's politics but they do make some mighty fine chicken... and I support them not being open on Sundays, as at least that gives employees one guaranteed day off.

I purchase through XP Medical. Northshore Care also carries them for a similar price.

What? You can't possibly be serious. Of course there are no taste buds on your butt!

Yeah... So, what do you do for money? A full-time caregiver and 12 diapers a day is mighty expensive. Also, no adult is going to get sufficient nutrition from a bottle of milk every 3 hours. Sorry, your little story just screams "BS!"

My wife & I generally wear Dry 24/7s when out and about, so we've got to be out for a very long time and/or consuming a LARGE amount of liquid in order for a change to be necessary. That being said, with a little practice it's pretty easy to change while standing up in a public restroom stall.

There go more governments of supposedly "free" nations trying to dictate morality. That is the job of the Church, not the government.

The Millennial cohort extends from the early 80's to the mid 90's... people who were children and in school at the turn of the 21st Century. Those born after Y2K are actually "Post Millennials" or "Generation Z."

Now that word has traveled around the ABDL community of exactly what Rearz tried I figure their days as a company are numbered. "Jacking up the cost" in response to increases in cost of doing business and shipping so you can keep the doors open is completely different from trying to gain legal control over a term describing the whole community and use it for commercial gain.

Try getting involved with your local kink community. The odds of finding a girl into ABDL are low, but you may meet someone who is open minded and willing to explore the lifestyle.

There is a difference between desperation and simply staying in business. Shipping costs for everything you buy are going to go up this year... get ready for it.

Water weighs in the neighborhood 2lbs per liter... so a diaper holding 6 liters of liquid would weigh more than 12lbs. A big thing when it comes to measuring real-world diaper capacity is what's called "press out"... or "will it leak if you sit down." This has a great effect on overall capacity because, while you really might be able to pack a lot of liquid into a diaper while standing, if it all comes squirting out when you sit down what good is it? I'm sure we're all intimately familiar with the damp butt of shame. XP Medical has some pretty good pages on scientific diaper testing and measurements. https://www.xpmedical.com/adult-diaper-reviews https://www.xpmedical.com/adult-diaper-testing-methods If you'll note the Dry 24/7 has an ISO rating of 4100ml, but taking press out into account it's usable capacity is only 95oz, which is 2.8 liters (2800ml). Now maybe the PeekABU held 6 liters on a test rig, but I'd say real life capacity is probably on the line of half the claimed amount. That puts it right up there with Dry 24/7... great performance, but hardly world beating.

That is completely different. Pot, while legal on the State level, is still ILLEGAL on the Federal level. Banks are concerned with handling what is for all intents at purposes "drug money" and therefore don't want to deal with it. Correct.

Can definitely tell you are 22, with little real-world business experience. ABU has to pay for their facilities, pay their employees, pay for web space, pay taxes on all of that, and they've still got to make a profit sufficient to continue their operation. They can either increase the prices of their product which, as you point out, are expensive already or they can charge shipping.

Trying to trademark the word ageplay is as dumb, possibly even dumber, than trying to trademark AB/DL or BDSM. So you got ageplay.com big deal. That doesn't give you exclusive rights to the use of the term.

I feel sorry for these people... having to wear an off-the-shelf adult diaper for 10+ hours.

That would be like trying to trademark BDSM... absolutely moronic.

Shipping costs for everything are going to go up significantly this year. New electronic logging laws are going into effect for truckers meaning they can spend less time driving which means more trucks & drivers will be needed to deliver the same amount of freight... and guess who gets to eat the cost of that?

It's a small, but growing, segment of the adult diaper market... and many ABDLs are willing to shell out big bucks for high profit margin niche products. Any seller of incontinence supplies would be foolish to disregard us.

Let me begin by saying that my job is as a trucking dispatcher, I deal with LTL and long haul truckers all across the nation every day. So don't think you're speaking to some layman here. First off: Laws can be changed. Right now every driverless vehicle still needs a human in the driver's seat... but what about 10 or 20 years from now? Twenty years ago autonomous vehicles were mere prototypes trying to navigate simple closed courses, today they're operating in limited numbers on our public roads. The future is wide open in this respect. Secondly: What makes you think we need an overhaul of infrastructure in order for automated vehicles to function? The ones already on the roads are functioning so far, and they'll only get better in the future. Thirty years ago there were people who were laughing about the subject of hybrids and EVs. Today those vehicles make up a small, but growing percentage of vehicles on the road. Toyota has sold 1.75 million Prius models in the US since 2002. That's nothing to laugh at. Making the statement that we will "never" live to see anything is foolish and shortsighted. I didn't say truck drivers were stupid, I said they weren't the brightest bunch. As in not intelligent enough to handle more mentally complex jobs, like computer programming. I've spent the last three years training hundreds of drivers on the use of my company's computerized in-truck dispatch system and the new Federally mandated electronic logs. Some of the drivers I work with are great people, hard working, helpful, easy to get along with. BUT we have to remember they're truckers, not rocket scientists... when it comes to technology most of them are challenged. I understand how challenging it is to safely drive a truck, I'm not saying the job is easy and I'm certainly not trying to belittle anyone who works in the field. The job is "menial " because it doesn't require a high degree of book learning or formal education in order to perform.

Trebek is 77 years old... so he probably does.

If memory serves the Abri-Let Maxi actually went out of production. It would not surprise me if XP tried to produce their own version to meet demand. Other incon suppliers may be selling old stock.

If you check sites like Wish or Alibaba you can buy the ABDL diapers direct from manufacturer at a MUCH lower cost. While I understand that companies like Bambino and ABU need to pay for employees, marketing and warehouse space the amount of markup vs cost from the manufacturer is ridiculous.

Surprisingly enough this is why tapestries were invented. Those old stone castles echoed like mad.

People who want to better themselves or society are already doing so... people who want to do the bare minimum in order to survive do that as well. We already have a version of Universal Basic Income here in the States, it just goes under different names. Welfare, Food Stamps, Obamacare, etc. Millions of people already live off the system. You are correct in that the future will propose a new set of social challenges for the human race, however UBI will also let artists and inventors be more free to create without having to worry about paying their bills every month... and that is where the true innovation comes from.

I continue to order from XP Medical on a regular basis... have not noticed any change in their service or the quality of their products.
