Interesting. You might want to make a separate post about your experiences with this supplier just in case someone else is considering them. They might not have read this one. Thanks for sharing. Ruffles

A pleasant post and kind thing for you to do. Thanks for sharing. ***HUGS*** Ruffles

I've done the real thing a few times but, like many others, don't care for the clean-up too much and the smell runs the wife off. Can't blame her there. We were into the oatmeal thing for a while but I usually have to change shortly after or have an even bigger mess if it leaks out during the night. Then i feel like I've wasted the diaper before it's time, so to speak. Here's something that gets me though. I've seen threads in the past that deals with the use of various foodstuffs and what gets me is when someone replies that they are bothered by the waste of food. What I find interesting is that they consider it wrong to waste food but, on the other hand, see nothing wrong for somebody who is not incontinent to spend even more money on diapers. Maybe it's just me but I find that a bit ironic.

Got an email from PayPal yesterday. Gotta give them a thumbs-up. Got my full amount credited back to me. To be honest, I really didn't think I'd see that money again. So, if you ever buy anything via PayPal and the transaction goes awry, definitely let PayPal know about it. Cheers! Ruffles

I seem to recall Diaper Station carrying this sort of product but I don't remember the sizes. Unfortunately, they're also going through a "reorganization" at this time and I've no idea when they'll be back up for business. You might keep checking back with them though. http://www.diaperstation.com/ Another alternative, if you know anybody who does sewing, is have some made up for you. WalMart carries lots of fabric in babyish prints and another nice source is an Ebay store by name of: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Fabrics-From-T...t__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Good luck! Ruffles

Here's a wonderful shoe source if you like the old 50's style saddle shoes. They also have some with heels, for those who prefer them, along with Mary janes and other miscellaneous styles suitable for folks like us. I hope to do some shopping here real soon! http://www.muffys.com/ Here are some more selections I have found: http://www.shoebuy.com/softwalk-mary-jane/34873 http://www.allheelsformen.com/Merchant2/me...;Category_Code= http://www.nextag.com/All~mary+jane+shoesz...23uszmainz5-htm http://www.shoeparlor.com/istar.asp?a=29 http://www.shoebuy.com/softwalk-mary-jane/34873 http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/2805647?origin=shoppingbag Hope these help you find what you're looking for. ***HUGS*** Ruffles

Also, if you don't have a onesie, firm control panties, bicycle shorts, or a girdle does wonders too. I often wear the latter when working outside without a onesie. Also helps compress the diaper so less bulge is showing through my jeans. Enjoy and good luck! Ruffles

I'd certainly be willing to give them a try. Do they have sample packs? Also, would you mind providing a link to the supplier? Thanks you. Cheers! Ruffles

Hi Tom If you think those Depends were comfortable, you haven't felt anything yet. I wore the Wal Mart variety for quite some time and thought all was fine until I broke down and tried better. Do yourself a favor and try either the Molicares, Abenas, or Bambinos. They are available in sample packs so you don't have to shell out a lot of money for a test-drive. I know, the Depends seem fine for you now, but then, peanut butter and jelly is just fine until you taste filet mignon. Then there's no going back. Try them, you won't regret it. Molicares and Abenas http://www.xpmedical.com/ Bambinos http://bambinodiapers.com/ Welcome to the club. You're not alone sweety! ***HUGS*** Ruffles

You might contact Mike at http://fetware.com/ I recently approached him about stocking 3" pins (giving him the overseas source where I'd got mine) and he was very responsive to the idea. We corresponded some more and by our last conversation it looked pretty definite that he was going to be acquiring a large quantity of them (probably already ordered). Here's what he will be getting (the larger one in the picture): Tell him I sent you. Ruffles aka: Mike

I would simply call or email the company and explain your situation as you have here. Perhaps they'll have you send them back in a different package, or work out another arrangement. Not having dealt with Drugstore.com, I cannot say. I always buy from XP medical and have never seen what you have described. I did have a problem with a shipment from them once (no fault of theirs) and they were very quick to remedy the situation. Good luck!

Desitin http://www.desitin.com/ Works great! When I first started using it, I would apply it to a rash and it would clear up overnight. Later, I started using it when getting diapered and from that day forward, it is extremely rare when I get a rash. I have never had it stain my cloth diapers in any way and it doesn't appear to have any effect on plastic pants either; if so, it is almost indetectable. The stuff also works great for clearing up razor burn and other heat-type rashes. Doesn't do a thing for poison ivy though. Good luck! ***HUGS*** Ruffles

Happy birthday sweety! Best wishes and ***HUGS*** Ruffles

Granted: Your poo smells significantly better but alas, you've developed allergic reactions to eating anything other than flower petals and you fart a lot. On the other hand, people enjoy having you over as you're now a walking room deodorizer. =============================================================================== I wish I were very petite and dominated by a controlling "mommy" with a penchant for corset training, diapers, petticoats, and little girl Easter dresses.

Update to the initial post: Today at 1:20 pm, I escalated the "item not received dispute" to a "claim." At this stage, PayPal steps in and does what they can to resolve the case. Interestingly enough, at 1:57 PM, I finally received an email acknowledging the order from the ABDL Mall of America. No apologies or explanations, but at least its more than I had before. This is the first time I have seen correspondence of any kind from them since the order was placed over a month ago on February 28. Perhaps PayPal has some leverage or just a coincidence? I'll probably never know. I DO know that I'm not discontinuing the claim with PayPal until I have received my order. Incidently, a little while ago I noticed that their website is now back online; not that I'm going to be doing business with them anymore. Hopefully, I will see my order soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DD!! Thanks for the best ABDL site on the web! ***HUGS*** Ruffles

Very Good Experience XP Medical 1682 E. Ocean Ave. Ventura, CA 93001 1-888-485-2268 http://www.xpmedical.com/id.html Having purchased Abena Abri-Form diapers and boosters from them on numerous occasions, I have nothing but good to say about this vendor. If an order is processed on Monday, I usually have them by Thursday or Friday (I'm 1,600 miles from their location). I have periodically looked elsewhere for the same product and have been unable to find them anywhere cheaper overall. On one occasion, and no fault of XP Medical, a case of boosters had become contaminated by some form of solvent while on the FedEx truck. One call to XP and the matter was promptly taken care of. On a Five-Star scale, I give XP a full Five. Thanks XP! Ruffles

So far, I've only bought a sample pack of the Classico diapers from them and I was very pleased with the product; not to mention that they arrived quickly in relation to the order date. Until now I have been a die-hard Abri-Form user but, with the tapes being better and the Bambinos now being the same price, my next order is going to be Bambinos (the wife likes the baby print). Yes, most definitely a "thumbs up" for this vendor. Ruffles

For me it would be the Huggies brand, Soft Skin, Shea butter. Also, it seems to me that the Huggies are more durable than the Pampers brand. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the cheap ones. They all but fall apart as you're trying to use them. ***HUGS*** Ruffles

Scary, huh!? Some years back I was the driver of an armored truck. My partner was a retired New York state detective with over 20 years experience. One time we were talking about this same thing. I had expressed my opinion that it was somewhere from 3 to 5 percent and he answered with "more like 20." Yikes! Makes one NOT want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time! Ruffles

Unfortunately, even with a will, I don't believe this could "easily" be prevented. The only possible scenario I could see is in the case of a terminal illness where such 'private' items could be preboxed and addressed to the recipient. Sorry for the gloomy thoughts. Ruffles

Would love to. We plan on visiting Vegas, but I fear the dates won't coincide. Bummer!

I'd be more than happy to check on that property for you Square Duck. You can PM or email me with directions and/or details (i.e., occupied, need pictures, location of land mines, etc.). Actually, we were planning a side-trip to vegas and would love to meet up but alas, I fear we'll be back in Arkansas or on our way by the 1st of May. Bummer! I don't have exact dates yet from the missus, but I know she wants to get back early enough to have a few days to recuperate before returning to work. If the dates change though, I'll be certain to contact you. Interesting about your grandmother. Oh my, those Packards!! One of my favorites, a 1933 Sport Phaeton. Plenty of room in the back for changing those nappies while on the road. Cheers! Ruffles

Hi! The wife and I will be traveling to cedar City, Utah late April via the old Route 66. If anyone would liek to get together for chat, a munch, coffee, etc., let me know. Re: http://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?showtopic=15550 Cheers! Ruffles

An interesting topic. I'd volunteer since everyone in this household knows about, accepts, or are into our lifestyle. However, inasmuch that I do not live nearby, it would suit you better to find someone geographically closer to you. For me, the dilemma does not present itself. Odds are, with my heart condition, I'll be the first to go; but then, one never knows. All the more reason that I am quite serious when I tell the wife to be careful each time she leaves for work. The missus and I are going on a road-trip late April and if something were to happen to both of us, then it would fall upon my mother-in-law. She's ABDL supportive, very open-minded, and I have nothing that I would be embarrassed for her to see. In fact, this topic gives me an idea for our pre-departure checkoff list; sealed instructions for the distribution of various personal items were we not to return. I would leave such a thing in plain site on our bed as the presence of such a thing would upset her, but readily found in the event of our demise. Food for thought. regards, Ruffles
