Have you ever gone in a retail store and bought your toys and supplies

Shops sell these type of things for a reason, to make money, not to find out who's into what, so I have no issues in buying my supplies from a shop rather than the internet.

I prefer to shop for supplies this way. I don't care for internet shopping. I like to see the quality and etc. I have never really had a bad experience. People are generally just professional or interested in helping. Only once, at a rite aid, a heard the pharmacist say, "another AB..." to the pharmacy tech...it made me more curious than anything despite her nasty look. How did she become AB aware lol? Also, I thought it very facetious and obviously based only on my age. I was dressed 100% normal and had my cane. Ironically, I am incon. I felt like saying, "You know young people can suffer incontinence too right"? But, I am not the confrontational type.

All the time I don’t care about it if I need a new pacifier I get a pacifier yes I have gone shopping with my friends and family.

Lots of times and even been given a diaper check I some . I been shopping with friends and they go in the clothes find some bibs and bring them back and say they will look good on you. I don’t make any special trips to get my food or formula if I shopping and I need that item I get them doesn’t make any sense to go back because I with them

Any time I go shopping I will go down the baby section and look be it with family/friends or on my own.

My family knows that I prefer a toddler style bib or bottle and toys and normally ask in a quiet way if I want it.

My friends are more likely to buy me it and then give it to me after.

Like today I need to get some shopping after work and ended up buying a new plate and bowl with some cutlery all for a toddler.

I am more respectful that it’s not everyone’s life style so we will not be over the top.

I am having my diapers shipped to Whole Foods to pick up. Will that count

In 2020, after COVID-19, I was in the hospital for a month and a half. For the 1st 21/2 weeks, I assume I was drained by a catheter as I was put into a coma. I was probably out of the ICU and was in a private room. I was drinking water but not peeing. They drained me, then I wet the bed, yes, there was a pee pad under, but I peed so much I flooded the bed. They did this for a day and a half. When the overnight nurse (whom I really liked, and I think she liked me) came into my room, she had an army load of diapers. After some discussion and, of course, changing my sheets. She then, after some more discussion she diapered me. And it is now Oct. 2025, and I have peed in my wet diaper. I either wear Pull-Ups or Diapers 24/7 365.

So, all that being said, I have tried shopping at Walmart, Meijer, and you name the drugstore chain. I eventually mainly bought from Walgreens for a couple of years until they quit shipping automatically from a warehouse. Yeah, it was embarrassing standing in line carrying adult diapers around in the drug store. I even did the order online and then drove to the drugstore and waited until they brought them out. I just did not like doing it. I now do the online shopping with Carewell Health. I like their products and the pricing and costs of shipping. They ship directly to my house, unless you know the names of products on the brown box, they are delivered to my house.

I now wear Pull-Ups mostly during the day for work and sometimes when Home or for running around town, not knowing when or where I will need to pee. Otherwise, at night, I will always wear my Night Diapers with a couple of Booster Pads and my Plastic Pants. When I wake, I am always quite Wet and Soggy.

Buying supplies in public is one of my favourite things to do. My issue is I live on a rural acreage hours from shopping. My girlfriend and I make a day of our shopping trip. I wear my usual diaper plus a booster pad for added protection.

The suppliers I deal with have known me for years and have been vital suppliers of all things medical and diapers. I am spoiled being treated with so much professionalism when dealing with my support. Now I know this is pretty vanilla for the diaper fetish readers but we really need to appreciate our good suppliers / diaper facilitators.

I was at a diaper store once with my sister and we needed to go into an office to pay. I was wearing my normal clothing and we looked like two people just buying diapers in a store. No one at this point would say there was a little by the looks of it. As I was talking to the sales person sister just interrupted mid sentence and said: “what do you know? You’re just two and a half years old”. The sales person looked at me with a very knowingly smile and didn’t say anything in that moment. When we were done we walked towards the door to go out as I took a sigarette out of my pocket and the sales person turned to my sister and said: “that isn’t really age appropriate, is it?”.

I just felt so busted and very acknowledged at the same time. Was fun 🙂.

Back in the day, I was able to find some glass rectal thermometers, and some plastic screw top jars of petroleum jelly, in one of the stores that buys out liquidated items. It was actually the last time that I ever saw them in any store. Today they’re available on EBay for outrageous prices.

Well, there was one time when I was in a local store and saw a couple of plastic raincoats that would fit me, in colors I didn't have, so I bought them - on what turned out to be the hottest day that summer.
