Drugstore brands are too thin.

I don't know about you but the only options for diaper purchases in my location are CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Walmart, Target and Doller General. It seems that all these stores carry the same type of inadequate diapers. They can't seem to hold much pee at all and leave me with wetness that shows through my clothing.

Living with other people makes it inconvenient for me to order diapers online and have them shipped to my house.

Lately I've had the idea of going to a medical supply store. Has anyone done that? Or do you have any suggestions?

For the most part the local medical supply stores carry hospital grade diapers cheap and a waste of money. cvs brand are pretty good i use them on trips. and yes not many with take a flood. i just was given tena overnight pad by my doctor. just add that to your disposables. it is bulky. its like $13.00 for 30 at cvs. and by a good plastic pants. now you are set pee yourself silly with no fears.

Quite a while ago I had the same problem. Medical supply stores are a good idea, more on that in a bit. if CVS and walmart are all you have right now you can make due, but your going to need to be a little creative. WHat I used to do was buy depend with tapes (they were called briefs or something) and the thickest incontinence pads that they sold, I think they were tena ultimate or overnight (not sure exactly). Open up the depend and lay it out. then take a pad out of the wrapper but leave the paper backing in place. Use a razor blade or really sharp scissors to make slits all over the backing of the pad. Remove the paper backing and stick it to the inside of the depend. Make sure that it is going to be positioned well under you when the diaper is taped on and that it is centered between the "leak guards." Now tape up the diaper and make sure it is snug and the pad is held nice and close to you. The pad actually absorbs about 2 average pees or one really big one. The problem is that it will dribble out of the pad or 100% of the pee wont get absorbed quick enough. Thats where the depend actually does its job... catches your pad dribbles. Just change soon after you wet and you shouldnt have too many leaks.

Not back to the medical supply stores... find one. they should have a better diaper then depend. The ones I have found there are tena (us cloth version) and attends.

I have used Depends, although they seem to be going away, with a baby diaper as a stuffer. It adds bulk as well as letting you pee more before having to change your diaper.

I definitely agree that drugstore diapers are too thin. I have had a standing order with my local medical supply provider for about 2 and a half years now.

I have found that the only thing out there that's decent has to be ordered off the internet. But back in the 80's, everything seemed to be better quality, I guess now it's all about profit.

Could you have them delivered to a local friend and just pick them up?
