How many people are truly 24/7 and pay for diapers yourself

I quit dealing with insurance so spend about $225.00 on my abenas myself

I buy my diapers on line, usually go thru diaper buys or northshore. I wear the tranquility atn, and have never gone thru insurance companies.

I don't have the greatest insurance , they will pay for catheters but not any kind of diapers. I will not use catheters because of the bad experience with UTIs. I also don't like carrying a bag on my leg all the time. I buy all my diapers basically online and powder, booster pads, lotion , wipes at the local drug store myself.

I am. I'm incontinent partly as a result of my own actions so I figure I don't need to use that funding the same way that people who didn't ask for it do.

I have excellent insurance that pays doctors' bills and other medical expenses including prescription drugs. But I have to pay for my diapers out of my own pocket.

I do. I'm incon but I probably wouldn't be if I hadn't made some of the decisions I have made so I pay for my own diapers.

I am diapered 24/7 99% of the time and I buy my diapers myself. I go through a little bit less than a case of abenas every week plus whatever "fun" diapers I want to use. I am a little lucky in the fact that my SO pays for most of our bills (she makes alot more than me).

I am a genuine 24/7 nappy wearer I get some pads from the NHS continence service and buy the rest from ebay. I use about three tena comfort extra pads or similar a day and one tena maxi slip or similar at night.

I have always paid for my own diapers. I've been casual on and off for a little over a year now, but started 24/7 three weeks ago. Ive tried full time wearing before, and liked it, but never went more than 2 wks at a time. Right now I use 1 North Shore Supreme, 1 Tena Stretch and 1 pull up a day.

Tomorrow will start my 4th week of 24/7 and I have every intention of staying with it. The more I'm diapered, the more I like it. It's just somthing that's gotten into my system and doesn't seem to be going away. I'm prepared to take care of the added expense and feel it's money well spent.

Not to be mean, but if this is a FETISH, then I think it would be wrong to use any insurance to pay for it. If there is a real medical problem with incontinence, then certainly use whatever benefits are available through your insurance, but a kink shouldn't be paid for by the public.

CJ1999 I totally agree with you if it's a fetish and insurance is paying for it. I'm urinary incontinent and wear disposable diapers because of a spinal cord injury. I do pay for all my diapers, creams out of my own pocket. My insurance will pay for diapers, but they are the cheap junk diapers and it's a bunch of red tape that's not worth it to me. I think most of the one's that are truly incontinent and need diapers may consider themselves as a DL.

With that being said I somewhat consider myself as a DL. As a person that is wearing a diaper every minute learns to make the best out of it.

That is one way I coped with the embarrassing, humiliating, depressed feelings that I had being incontinent needing diapers at a younger age. Yes, I need diapers for my incontinence, but wouldn't be wearing them if I didn't.

Any way this is my case. I hope this makes since. Respectfully Indiana

I'm 24/7, and have been for almost 5 years. I pay for my diapers myself. Usually two disposable diapers per day, and clothdiapers and plasticpants at night.

I always wanted to be back in diapers, and im slowly loosing continence. My choice.

I pay out of my pocket

I wear 24/7 for incontinence, but still being in college, my parents are covering the cost of buying diapers for now.

Since 1992, I've worn incontince protection of one sort or another. Mostly I've worn a thick plastic backed disposable diaper with a booster every day. I've changed once in the afternoon. At night I wear a cloth diaper and plastic pants.

I've paid for my supplies at an average cost of $5 per day. Add that up for the last 25 years and it comes to about $45,500. That would be a nice car!

Can anyone truly define 24/7 for me. We truly are all different. As for me, I have from 30-seconds to 5-minutes before I void / empty my bladder whether I like-it-or-not from my urinary incontinence. So when I am out-and-about I must wear absorbent protection. At home, close to a toilet, often I will wear plain, cotton underwear beneath plastic overpants just-in-case I don't have the 30-seconds advance notice of oh-oh I am going to void. I do this because of skin care. I am lucky in this regard. Some people are leaking and dribbling constantly and do not have the luxury of letting their skin be dry and exposed to some air. So NO I guess I don't qualify for 24/7 use and shouldn't even be commenting here.

I most certainly DO purchase each and every single incontinence product myself. Yes, it costs money. Yes, it costs considerable money. Thank goodness for booster pads that can extend the absorbent life of quality (read costly) adult diapers.

Insurance doesn't cover reusable diapers so my diapers plastic pants onesies are all out of pocket .

I am shipped 3 cases of diapers a month I only use them if I am going out ,a majority of them I give away.

I am on a 100% disability with the VA due to complications caused by Agent Orange. One of those complications was prostate cancer; and, I had my prostate removed. Based on that fact alone, I could have the VA provide me 3 or 4 diapers per day for incontinence. However, lying is something I try to avoid at all times; so, I buy my own diapers. If I ever truly become incontinent, then I will ask for the VA to provide them to me. I would feel horrible asking the taxpayers to financially support my kink. Anyway, I wear 24/7, love it, and intend to continue doing so.

I'm in diapers 24/7. It is more comfortable

I am at the layers 24/7, the insurance does not cover the diapers, but I am waiting for revision with the prescription of my doctor, for the moment I pay from my pocket, Mostly at night, I wear a diaper in fabric and plastic pants. and a disposable diaper the day, yes I also faced embarrassing feelings, humiliation. It's my wife who buys my cloth diapers and my plastic panties online, and for my disposable diapers, the powder, the cream for buttocks and wipes at the local pharmacy.

I wear 24/7 for fun and buy my diapers myself. Not long ago I calculated the yearly cost and I don't recall the exact cost now; but, I believe it is right around $1,000.00/year.

$234.00 a month

I wear diapers now 24/7. it's a must! On occasions at home, i can wear the disposable varieties. Cloth are much more comfortable with plastic panties. It's takes a lot more with clothe like the diaper pail and washing and folding. It's all worth it to me as i'm the one wearing!

Today is my one month anniversary of no underwear all diapers and 24/7

All myself right now cuz I'm just not using that many

But I lied to my doctor she told me if it came a problem I can get a script if I need more than one day otherwise it's just not worth it eif I am paying 15 bucks a month

24/7 means 24 hrs a day 7 days a week

which since my surgery I am diapered 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, all year long for the rest of my life

my medical pays for cheap hospital grade diapers which do not last but a couple hrs, I pay out of pocket for thicker diapers that can last up to 24 hrs
