Nervous About Buying And Ordering Diapers

[Guest xaldin]

I'm still living with my parents just about, and i have ordered diapers before but they have been close to finding out. I live in England and its hard to find a store that sell adult sized Diapers. I'm nervous about ordering some more incase they find out about it.

I live on the other side of the pond over here in the States we have UPS stores where you can have items delivered to. If you are nervous about your parents receiving the package of diapers you ordered you should try that approach.

if you have a good friend, or have met, in person someone from the boards, you could always set it up where you order the diapers and have them shipped to this person's house and pick them up there.

The UPS Store concept doesn't really exist in the UK. You can get PO boxes, of course, but not located inside a specialist shipping store like that. PO boxes in general are not nearly so prevalent and the likelihood of getting a company to ship to one is slim to nil.

To the OP, I was in that situation for several years and it's tough. Essentially, you have two options:

1: Go to or phone the chemists in your area and find out if they can order the diapers you want. Most areas in the UK have at least one designated chemist that stocks adult diapers although the quality may be poor and you may have to ask for them (not on the shelves). You need to find out which chemist it is and either buy the low-quality brand they may have in stock or ask them if they can order some in for you. They'll call you when they're available (give them a mobile number, obviously!) and you can go and collect them when the coast is clear at home.

2: Orchestrate your ordering time carefully to ensure you're home alone on the delivery date. Order from a company who dispatch same-day (most do if you order early in the day) and cough up the extra couple of quid for 24hr delivery. That way you know that if you're going to be on your own all-day Tuesday, you can order on Monday morning, the order will be shipped that afternoon and delivered on Tuesday. I did this for several years and whilst there were a couple of close calls, I was never discovered. Of course if you can't predict when your parents will be out of the house, this isn't so easy and option 1 might be better.
