Hoarding Diapers

I do have alot of diapers at my place. I also have them at my friends house. Sometimes she will buy them also, and keep them at her place.

That's not really all that much , several times a year I have so many cases of diapers and catheters that I run out of room and beg people to come take some of my hands, there is no official diaper bank in my area but i fill in as needed. In the event of a natural disaster I can hold out a long time if shipping gets screwed up , I generally have about 30-40 cases of disposables on hand plus my cloth diapers , how and why we do it is a mystery to me , I have never gone to a female friends house and seen floor to ceiling product so it's not directly linked to need as far as i can tell, and it's not something I have ever seen with deodorant or soap or anything , all though some of that has definately rubbed of on my grocery shopping I will buy a ton of stuff on buy one get one free , my aide thinks I am crazy but also frequently comments I eat a he'll of a lot better than he does, he is pretty typical in the way he shops going to the store every three or so days , whereas I shop the weekly sales and load up , I could easily not go to the store for a month and not run out of things to eat , even then I could hold out longer if I just ate something simple like rice and beans .

So where or how that switch gets thrown in our brains , that we collect unreasonable quantities of diapers is a mystery that science will probably never answer because they don't know much about ABDL/ IC people as a group let alone getting into minutia of purchasing habits, it's definately not the same as people who hoard useless junk or garbage, diapers have a purpose and use. My one thought is that manufacturers are so frequently ( to quote Depend new improved) screwing things up maybe its a hedge against there improvements and tinkering to make a usable product cheaper for them but never less expensive for us or for that matter more effective .

I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them, so when I can, I stock up. I buy abenas by the case, and only wear a few times a week. It seems like a security thing.

Honestly, I do it because I know if I unexpectedly become ill I'll need a lot more diapers, and/or the place might be out of stock, and/or, and/or, and/or ... I just like to have as many diapers as I can get on hand.

I would be the first to admit to being a "hoarder" as it worries me as to how I would manage without a nappy on.

I always try to keep a months spare supply in stock.

Having recently moved this proved to be a life saver as I had serious difficulties getting new suitable supplies.

I am now building up my emergency stash again as I was down to my last pack of 28 and that was serious worry.

Wow, I'm amazed at what I just read about how many some folks have. And I thought I had a lot. Currently I had a little over 3 packs of M4s, left from a case. I had found a sale on Rearz Inspires so bought a case of 72. Convinced the wife that it was such a good deal and the price wouldn't last so should probably buy some more. She agreed so immediately went back online and bought 2 more cases, so another 144. I absolutely love them, and try to wear more often than just at night. Also have a huge pack of Tena Overnight booster pads and a partial pack of Always Discreet pullups. Guessing total is over 260 plus the odds and ends. I guess I should be set for a little while now....lol.

This seems to be mostly a "disposable diapers" kind of thing and I wear cloth 95% of the time. I have enough cloth diapers to "assemble" six-seven "changings" (and for me one "changing" includes at least a thin flannel contour on the outside which I pin, a big thick rectangular "soaker" that I fold into thirds lengthwise and put in the middle, and a thick soft flannel contour that goes on the inside). And I usually have a package of Molicares in the closet for the times I want to wear a disposable (usually on those days when I feel daring and want to wear one to work). So I wouldn't really call that "hoarding".

However, I do find that I'm drawn to shopping for and often buying ABDL items--lately it's been small soaker pads to use with the disposables or to thicken the cloth diapers, and I always love buying more plastic pants. Even when I know I don't need anymore of this stuff I still love shopping for it and buying it anyway--and I think this is because it's another way I can enjoy my fetish during times when I can't go "all out". For example, when I'm at work and am not diapered (which I'm usually not) but find myself longing for my diapers, I'll go on Ebay or other mainstream sites that sell adult incontinence supplies and go shopping and I usually end up buying something. This makes me feel like I'm participating in this wonderful fetish even when I'm not able to go "all the way" with it.

And I think that this may partially explain why some people love to accumulate and "hoard", it's just another way we all have fun with this. The more diapers / plastic pants / baby clothes / etc that we have, the more it makes us feel like the big babies we know we are.

I tend to be a collector anyway, so especially with Rearz offering all kinds of nice plastic panties, rompers, and dresses at practically giveaway prices I've accumulated lifetime supplies. And I already wasn't exactly short on plastic panties.... The good side, I suppose, is that I seldom have to throw away a worn-out item.

Yep, I hoard. I LOVE the piles of diaper stuff blowing out all over the place in my room. Half a dozen pairs of plastic pants hanging there drying out not to mention the dozens of brand new put away. One thing I found though, if you have a "favorite", lay up as huge a stock as you can, It seems the diaper industries' only norm is to change products and go out of business often. Don't take for granted they will be around a month from now.

Comco made the PERFECT plastic pants as far as I am concerned. I just about melted down when they went out of business after many years of being there. I still have some brand new, but the day is coming where they'll be just a fond memory.....UGH.
