How do you feel if someone asks who is that for?

I have no problem buying my diapers at the local pharmacy in Truth they bring them in especially for me and all the clerks know their for me

Yes, the dreaded "Black book of who's buying adult diapers." 😄 I think they publish it for all the drugstores, so don't think that going to another town works! They know too! It says "Name: Luvs It. Says they're for an elderly relative, but I don't know...he seems kind of weird." 😉

Seriously, they don't ask because they don't want to know.

What's to be embarrassed about ? Just go into the store and have fun buying whatever you want, powder, pacifiers, bottles,

baby food, toys, teddy bears, mobiles,..... All the cashier should be concerned about is taking your money, and nothing else. If they make comments, just smile and focus on him/her loading your items in the bag.

That's why credit cards are great, you can spend without thinking about actual cash.

Right now, I mean at this point, when I buy my diaper material from a frabric store and I bring it to the cashier,if she asks, I'll come right out and tell her that I have someone that will make them into diapers for me and let her see some of my plastic pants sticking out from my jeans. After all what can she say or do? What I do with the flannel is my business. I kind of hope that she'll want me to come back after she tells all the other salesgirls. And you know I will go back one day just to see if they know and how they will act around me.

I also have a panty fetish. I'm sure I have well over 200 pairs of panties. Often, I would buy when I was traveling. It was always my fear to be found out. The check out was always a stress point..

One time, a man said to be, "Gee, with these panties, I sure hope you are married and buying for her."

The one that really broke my ice (fear of being found out) was at a Vanity Fair Outlet. I had waited until a slow time for customers in the store. Even when I entered, I delayed going to the women's dept. until those shopping there went to the check out.

After getting a number of very femme panties and a pink nightgown, I delayed until there was no line at the check out. When I got there, two cashiers were both busy. One with a large purchase, the other with returns.

I waited patiently behind them. By the time, a cash register was open, I now had over 12 people in line behind me.

As I went to the register, the young lady smiled at me, then said, "MMMMM, these will be so cute on you honey."

As she rang up each item, she held it high (in plain site for those behind me) and made comments loud enough for others to hear like, "Oh, just your color hun." "These will be just purrrrfect on you." Then she placed each item in the package.

Since that time, I have openly shopped for me and have even had sales girls say, "We got new merchandize in this week and I held back some that I thought we look really nice on you."

Of course, I have also had some much older sales ladies that made me feel like I was a contagious lepper too.

It's not the cashier I worry about, it's the other shoppers! 😎

I'm way embarrassed everytime I go shopping for baby stuff, but that hasn't stopped me, yet! I wish I could buy everything online, it would be much easier, especially I that could include international stores! Local things are so bad... :'(

I get embarrassed easily so i buy my diaper things in a store several towns over from where i live so that no one i know will see me. i would love to be able to purchase them online, but i still live with my parents & they dont know about this. it would kind of difficult to explain why i'm getting a bag of diapers in the mail.

Well i dont feel embarrassed at all, maybe im used to buying baby things for me own children so i dont care who's gonna look at what im buying. 😜 But if i dont have a child i will also dont feel embarrassed at all i will just take what i need and paid. 😄 😉

I don't get embarrassed about anything any more. After a while one just gets over that. We were at Wal Mart today and bought two packages of Goodnites diapers and a pacifier for me and a clip to hold it on to my sleepers. My partner was with me and we went through the checkout together and neither of us got embarrassed. It will just takes a while, but we all do get over the nervousness! 😳

It's easy to explain these things to strangers and cashiers, but luckily most of the time people really don't care what you're buying.

Cashiers don't comment on what people buy; it's a big customer service no-no. Pharmacy workers see people buying hemorrhoid cream, condoms and laxatives just as much as they see people buying diapers and baby items.

If you go to the counter with a clear head and don't look nervous, chances are strangers won't notice, either. They might look, but most people won't ask questions.

The problem I have, is risking running into people I might know. That can be a little tougher to explain away, especially if you're buying baby items and they know you don't have kids. I go around this worry by going early in the morning on a weekday, when everyone's either asleep, in school or working.

I still get a little embarrassed when I buy some things. Im getting used to buying diapers, but some of the baby things still make me a little nervous.

I don't really get embarassed when I buy things just if I see some one I know. 😳 One time I bought some disposable diapers at a drug store and started to walk out with them and I ran into a couple of guys I work with talking outside the store. 😮 Needless to say I was really feeling embarassed about it. I said just a minute let me bring this to the car. I brought my diapers to the car and came back to talk with them. They never said a word about it but I could tell they were a little nevous at first. Oh well. 😁

Years ago when I could go the local medical supply store and buy real plastic pants(Bittner) it was real weird it was like being in A daze. but now when I go and ask about plastic pants or cloth diapers it doesen't bother me,probably because I know they won't have them or they didn't even know they made them at one time.

I bought my first pacifiers today, and in the couple of years I've spent buying diapers it didn't really embarrass me. But I admit I blushed a bit when the cashier rang up my new pacifiers.

For the past year I have been buying my diapers through a lady who has a delivery business for baby diapers but also has a good selection of adult disposables.

Her business is located not too far from where I live so rather than have my diapers delivered I go there in person. I always call her first to be sure she has my stock and will be there. She and I are on a first name basis and I always refer to my purchases as "my diapers". From time to time she gives me samples to try and then I tell her what I think.

So far I'm satisfied with Tranquility products and don't see a need to buy something else. It's nice being able to openly buy diapers from someone who is understanding of my needs.

I stopped worrying about what people think, especially total strangers in a store. Now I have to buy Kotex long thin pads every month for my drippy problem caused by a large prostate. I just throw them up on the counter and pay my money.

I contacted The kotex company about my findings, IE one pad VS another and how Carefree had a excellent pad but you had to use 3 for a male. I am now in touch with their development department and I have tried several experimental versions. You will see more and more of this as people live longer.

Bottom Line:

If it feels good, & it's legal, just do it. If someone looks at you funny, maybe they are jealous!

I am on a first name relationship with all of the suppliers here. They know me and my problems, I have even been helped changing by a few when looking at new products. When ever I go in I make sure you can see I am clearly diapered under my clothes, saves questions and explanations.

I also feel like everyone is watching me. I usually just grab a pack of depends and walk quickly to the counter hoping that no one recognizes me.

Don't worry about what they think. You might be so very surprised about how little people even care.

Actually elf my daughters father in law is my small town's pharmacist when he has questions about the quality of diapers by other patients he calls me (yes he knows I'm 24/7) and asks if i know who has the best diapers and who has the best price (i usually tell him that if the person is bedridden then to just use the cheap wings type cheapo diapers but if the customer is active then to sell them a better quality diaper and i prefer to use Secure X-Plus that has better absorbency and use for the cost) he does usually go by what I recommend 😃
