Padded53 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I know this sounds a bit strange but I've found that lately I'm actually enjoying buying diapers and pads. Maybe it's some sort of exhibitionist thing although I've never had any tendencies like that. It's not like I run around making it obvious that I'm wearing a diaper/protection but somehow it seems like fun to put the bags of diapers up on the counter like it's just a bag of chips. I've never had a cashier other than at a medical supply store say anything other than if I wanted them put in a bag. At the medical supply they may ask you if your sure of the size/type or if you need any other items but they've always been very professional and it's been a very comfortable situation. Maybe it's just that I'm getting so comfortable wearing them 24/7 that I've just totally accepted it as just a part of me now. My Wife (obviously) and several of my good friends know I wear diapers 24/7 and they're just fine with it since they know it's basically a medical IC thing. Anyway, does anyone else actually enjoy buying diapers and what good experiences have you had? Link to comment
notyalc Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I enjoy shopping online like oh man when i get paid im getting these and this! And i don't get the weird looks that i subconsciously think i get when I'm in line at a store with a pack of adult diapers like yea these are for my grandma I'll say that if anybody asks. So i think buying online in that aspect is Better Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Stores don't have any good diapers, so if I'm buying them in a store I'm pretty bummed that I have to use inferior stuff. Online ordering my usual diapers is pretty mundane too, nothing exciting about that. Link to comment
DLdapper Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I love diaper shopping, but I do not like how much they cost $_$. I do enjoy looking at all the designs and new diapers people are coming out with though, and usually end up ordering a few just to try them! 1 Link to comment
Toddy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I hated buying diapers. I always felt my blood-pressure would pop my head clean off my shoulders - cartoon style. But in my late 20's/early 30's - and once my wife knew and accepted me - it wasn't as bad. It's easier when your best friend still loves you regardless. 1 Link to comment
Hookedondiapers Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I enjoy buying them in person - I'm always confident and don't worry about what the people in the shops think. Link to comment
kevindhca Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Been buying at the same medical supply store for more than 20 years. Must be a good place to work, because they have had mostly the same people all this time. They always recognize me and say hi and know what my order is going to be. Always a pleasant experience.

Dubious Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 When shopping at the mall I prefer older cashiers as they seem more skilled.. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I like seeing diapers online, seeing new designs, and discovering new diapers that I might like to try sometime in the future. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have to admit I'm a little excited for the new crinklez diapers. I haven't been able to verify the if the lower tapes are actually positioned low or not though. Supposedly they are modeled after Confidry diapers though. Link to comment
anned Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not any more i have to drive over 300 miles round trip to buy good diapers. I buy most of mine over the internet now. Link to comment
oliver d Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I buy all of mine in the factory outlet of the manufacture or in a pharmacy.In the beginning I used to feel that every one was looking at me ,today I don't really care if they are Link to comment
pampersrock Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 i love buying diapers also from the store. something about having the physical package in hand. Link to comment
Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I buy my baby diapers/Pull-Ups/GoodNites from local stores as often as possible, ditto for menstrual pads. I always enjoy going to the store, selecting the package I'm going to purchase myself, and occasionally just browsing through the diaper and pad aisles while I'm there. I typically try to go to stores with self-checkout though since that allows me to avoid someone else handling my purchase. (I've had one too many cashiers who think whatever I'm buying needs to be strangled and thrown into a bag with as much force as possible for no real reason.) I try to avoid buying my diapers online whenever possible. I like to see the package I'm buying in person, and I can't do that if I order it online. Link to comment
Lee B Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I don't get the opportunity to purchase my diapers at the local pharmacy or Wal-Mart anymore. Link to comment
Dubious Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 No store that I have been to has adult diapers out in the store Pharmacies have them behind the counter, other stores just don't have em at all Link to comment
kevindhca Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Went to a home health care supply store the other day to pick up some Tena Ultras. The clerk says," Oh, it's senior day tomorrow, rather than make you come back, we'll give you the discount today." I sure don't look like a senior, but I didn't say anything. $8 off the price isn't something to say no to. I was thinking on the way out, dummies, ya only seniors wear diapers.lol. Link to comment
willnotwill Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If I don't get the discount, sonny, nobody gets the discount! Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If I don't get the discount, sonny, nobody gets the discount! I'm a military disabled retiree and living in a military town. It's awesome how many discounts I can get, even on stuff like diapers sometimes. Link to comment
noahVmiller Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I definetly get a rush buying diapers in the store but unfortunately they don't sell anything worth buying in stores so it's hard to justify buying products that won't really work. As of late I have bought TENA pullups that gave me a bit of a rush Link to comment
hti24 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Oh, for sure. I've got a few medical supply stores close by and absolutely love buying my diapers over the counter. One of the stores doesn't have a showroom: they keep everything in the back. I didn't know that the first time I went there, and it ended with me having to specifically request they bring me a bag of M4s. The next time, which was for buying M4 Air Pluses, the girl actually recognized me from my previous visit. That had me briefly worried; now I think it's kinda cool Link to comment
justatoddler Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I get most of mine online, but I do have a medical supply store that I do enjoy going to. It's kinda nice because the girls that work there know me, and they're always so nice. I wonder if they know the diapers are mine. I'm sure they probably suspect they are Link to comment

Padded53 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Thanks for all the great replies. Yesterday I purchased a couple of bags of Tena Pullups for Women at our local Walmart. As usual the young lady cashier was very friendly and didn't even blink at what I was buying even though that was all I was buying. There was only one person behind me in line and she didn't seem to notice, or at least didn't give any indication that she noticed, what I was buying. All in all another very pleasant buying experience. Link to comment
