DailyDi Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 How "comfortable" do your finances have to be for you to splurge on good or new diapers? For me diapers rank pretty high on the want list, but that's because I don't tend to crave a lot of things so it's diaperes or pie lol. 3 2 Link to comment
Crinklz Kat Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 It's not finances for me, but physical space. But otherwise... my diapers do get pretty rank even in the odor blocking bags. 😝 1 Link to comment
Little Sherri Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 They rank pretty high for me. So far, I haven't had to choose between them and something else, due to finances, but if I had to, things would be pretty bleak before I decided that omitting diapers was going to be the solution. I don't even know if I could anymore, at least at night, anyway. I'd probably start making my own cloth diapers or something! But if it came down to, I don't know, downgrading our cable package, or even downgrading a car, versus not wearing diapers anymore... yeah, I'll be driving around in a Chevette, wearing a diaper...

ValentinesStuff Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Since I don't do any money sucking things; drugs, drinking, family, partying. Diapers are really my only extra expense. Link to comment
Thetlus Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I don't wear them often so I don't buy them too often either. I'll buy 1-3 cases at a time and that will last me quite a while. Once I'm down to 1-3 bags left I'll buy some more unless I see a really good sale. Not much else I splurge on so finances isn't too much of a problem. Link to comment
Cruiser 03 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I haven’t needed to buy any diapers since 2019( saw the pandemic from a distance and got ready for shortages broken supply lines and price gouging) . I purchased a couple cases of every color NS supreme and Megamax and haven’t done much traveling , I get 4 cases of disposables by insurance a month , however at home I wear cloth , only disposables for going out . They are not optional however I have more than I need already on hand . Link to comment
MegaChar Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 They are very high on my want list but my income tends to be low enough that I cant buy them all the time but had to change jobs after a very ugly battle with my former job and it seems to be soon that I can start buying them again. 1 Link to comment
2sail2 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Other issues get in the way such as being at work, comfort, storage space (well I could use the basement), they make me hot and cold, having "sticky" skin, tired of wearing too long. Link to comment
Pampertimmy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I’m diapered 24/7 so they rank up top along with food and air. Link to comment
Spanky Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 They're pretty high for me, most of the time. I go through the binge stages where they're a lot higher for me than other times. Link to comment
diapered charles Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 With an FSA accout, I get whatever diapers I want, when I want. Tax free! Link to comment
Dubious Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Thankfully my favorite food is bread and water. I very rarely make myself a proper dinner, or eat anything else than whole grain bread. Link to comment
absorbance irrigator Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Sadly, its at the very bottom of the priorities list for now. I'm lucky i can savage some second hand deal now and then, but any sort of real budget for diapers is out of the question for the time being 😔 Link to comment
Snugglebear_69 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 They are a nice to have for me but certainly not a priority. We have enough of an income that we've never really had to think about it. We just get more as we need them. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Sometimes my diapers are very rank! 💩 Seriously, I am not a slave to diapers. When I want a particular brand or have a trip coming up, I will buy what I want or need. I may take a solo trip every 2 years and go 24/7, there may be a couple times a year I get the house to myself for a few days and then it's premium diapers. Otherwise I may wear once or twice a week for a few hours and low end diapers from Goodwill do well enough. When I have other bills or other things I want or need, I won't buy diapers and unlike a lot of members who may wear every day or 24/7/365, diapers don't rule my life and when I do need to buy premium diapers, that might be 2 or 3 times a year. Otherwise the 20 pack of Attends I get at Goodwill for $3.50 a package when they have them works well enough for my once or twice a week. Link to comment
ppdude Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 For me, diapers are an absolute necessity. I can budget for them and do have to watch the pennies disappear as I use them. Price/performance matters a it's almost exclusively Better Dry as it meets that ratio and gives me warm, fuzzy feelings. Link to comment
Three Rivers Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I enjoy them on a regular basis, finances are not an issue. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Not very highy since I use cloth, the cost is relatively low over time I, do however, have an addiction. Where I get meds is a "pharmacy" where they sell musical equipment, especially synthesizers, is a "drug store" Link to comment
