Buying diapers in public

I've done it so many times now I dont really worry about it. A clerk has not even so much as cracked a smile. I'm sure they sell them all the time.

When I was a teenager I used to drive 3 towns away about 50 miles always after midnight and hit up a 24 hour store to buy them. I would always put one on in parking lot for the ride home too.

Clerks sell Diapers all day long, every day. One of my AB/DL buddies works at krogers, and he sees people buying them allll the time. Most people are buying them for grandparents or other such reasons. He's stopped trying to guess what for, because there are just so many people buying them. If you go up and just buy them, and fore go any nervous chatter or explanations, no one will think twice.

Indeed Taggers, having the confidence in doing what your doing is the key. The clerk doesn't give two hoots about who's buying them really (just so long as they're not "memorable" and can recount the story of the nervous guy buying nappies/diapers to his buddies). Most likely the clerk is on minumum wage, and watching the clock til shift change.

OK so it's a little different, but I remember way back in high school. My first "real" job (aside from a paper carrier) was a cashier at a local grocery store. I remember thinking early on and wondering if it'd be weird for me to be ringing up tampons/feminine products. I honestly thought it would be, as a fairly sheltered 16-year-old kid. So, lo and behold, what happens? The very first time I sold any, it was a mom and her daughter, and it was HER first time buying them! When I saw the girl was the nervous one and her mom was like "You might as well get used to it, you'll be buying these for years to come," it took any nervousness I had away!

But I have been nervous early on myself buying diapers, but after a few times, you quickly realize the clerk doesn't car a bit what they ring up, it's just their job and they've seen it all. And trust me, as a former clerk, we do.

I like the thrill of buying diapers in person, but most of the diapers that they sell now are horrible. The ones you can get online are much better. 😃

I typically go to a local medical supply store. They sell molicare super plus and plastic pants. Went there today and got some. Great service and no one asks any questions. Occasionally I'll buy diapers at a local drug store. I'll mill about until the line is short, get to the register and make a quick exit. Bonus if there is an attractive female working the register... sometimes I'll get a curious smile out of them :-p

I usually buy depends maximum absorbancy and wear 3 at a time, with slits in the inner two. i buy them at a local drug store, sadly no places around with thicker diapers for sale

I usually used to always just by the pharmacy brand disposables or depends. Until recently i couldn't find attends briefs and when i bought briefs they are the new soft outer cover type which is not what i'm used to so i called up 3 or 4 medical supply stores and finally found one with the Attends poly briefs which are awesome! No one has even looked at me or commented in any of my buying adventures.

I went to a Kmart to by my first pack back in the 60's when i obtained my drivers lisence and then saved up extra money too.

Went in to the baby department grabbed one and got out as quick as i could. Once home i discovered i bought newborn size and would never fit my 32 inch waist size, so i took them back and told the return clerk i got the wrong size for my mothers request was for size 21x40 . she escorted me back to the department and helped me find them.. talk about being nervous.... I'm surely glad they started making disposables late sixtys and early 70's.

The first time i got my own diapers i was 24 and i drove like 45 min to a store and got some off brand diaper all wite loved them

When I first bought diapers from the store... it wasn't for me! It was for someone at work (I worked with people with learning disabilities at the time) and so although it was a little strange, I wasn't embarrassed because I knew they were for someone else.

However, when I bought diapers for the first time for me... completely different story. I went at a quiet time of the day, used the self service machines, etc. I had bought diapers a few times before, but because these ones were for myself, my mind thought that everyone else knew that they were for me too... really strange!

However, now I am not too fussed, sometimes I'll buy in store, and I am ok with it, no worries, but other times I'll buy online!!

Aww Bg there is nothing to be embarrassed about. However if you were buying them with me then there might be. Seeing i would have you in a dress just short enough to let everyone see the very bottom of your diaper below the hem line. And i would make sure that we get into a line that will take a while with lots of people so they can all see what a cute baby you are. If you start to fuss and cry dont worry i will just get the pacifier out of your diaper bag and make you suck it while we wait in line.

Imagine the looks of all the people in line as you put your baby powder and baby soap and baby shampoo and baby food on the conveyor line and then have to bend over to grab the diapers from below the cart which i so smartly put down there for this very reason. :O

*Glares at MB*

I hate dresses 😢 I thought you loved me MB!! Why would you do that?!!!

I think you should help unload the shopping... I am only little and I can't do it myself...

*is starting to think that MB has one very nasty side!!!!* 😉

Btw, I also sometimes buy the largest kids size diapers in public, with the intent of wearing them. I'm tiny, so i can pretty easily wear the "60-125+lbs. 27-57+kg L-XL" size. For instance, i can wear the "Goodnites girls underwear for nitetime". just put one on - only one more left... gotta get more

Hi Babygirl. MB and I will take you shopping, we promise you an exciting adventure in diaperland!

I order online alot. Its the best way if you don't want to be noticed. I use idiaper.com alot they ship out orders right away and I nevered had to wait more than five days for an order. In a pinch I do go to the store , and being as young as I am its pretty unusual when to seea 20 year old man buying diaper. its really embarrassing. but its worth it

I have purchased diapers from Bambino. They are great; but, a bit pricy. Now I use Wellness diapers and order from H.D,I.S. - They are dependable.

I live in a densely populated suburban area and just buy my diapers in a chain drug store. No one cares or has has ever questioned my purshase

The other day I stopped in the local Goodwill store, and there in the bath isle was 3 bags of attends

for 2.99 each , You can't beat that price, so 3 x24 == 72 comfy diapers for under 10 bucks.

I've been buying diapers in medical stores or pharmacies for nearly twenty years. The first time was downright traumatic but the anxiety eases over time to the point where it's not even a big deal anymore. There's one pharmacy that has a cute guy on the cash several days a week (I memorized his work schedule). A guy can dream, right?

I normally go to medical stores. If I need to buy at a grocery store, I just use the self check-out.

I do not care anymore i just buy my diapers (depends) at walmart i am 52 but act like i am 5 my diapers are wet so i better head home

now oops, how many times can you wet before your diapers leak

I've had some really good experiences in the past....everywhere from getting measured by a lovely-looking store owner to walking out with bags of free samples. I'll share my stories in future posts (one of which turned out totally erotic).

I'll start with the most recent: I decided to try a medical supply store that sells Tranquillity ATNs. The saleswoman was extremely knowledgeable about the diapers in stock (most places I go they're pretty clueless). She highly recommended the ATNs and said there are also PREMIUM ones but are a little "poofy in the butt" I didn't have the nerve to say I didn't care. :-)

For me its no big deal. for the most part i wear cloth so i just wash them and hand them out to dry. but when i travel i will just go to the store and buy them. funny i never had anyone say anything to me even when i was much "younger". i have bought some off the net just fun ones for playtime and show-offing. when its just part of your life you never think twice about it. so wear them with pride who knows if you are incontinent. "just wear them and be happy"

I remember the first time I bought diapers locally. Someone else here (and I am sure many more) shared the same experience. I walked around and around the store. I was nervous. I did not want anyone who knew me to see me. For the first time; I had a written note/list so it appeared like I was shopping for someone else. I was approached by a sales lady (this was at a local drug store) and she asked if she could help. She could tell I was uncomfortable. I used the note as a "cover" and she helped me. I remember asking if I could pay for them in the back; at the pharmacy counter. At this Drug store at this period of time; they weren't set up for that; so I had to pay for them up front. All went fine and I enjoyed my first adult diaper experience.

A lot of my future purchases were a little different. I did not use the "shopping list" anymore. I just usually drove to a drug store that was not so local. Being in a sub-burb of a major city; this was pretty easy and did not take long at all. In fact it was not unusual for me to hit 4 or 5 drug stores if I did not find the type I wanted or did not get a good "vibe" about shopping there (ie: too many people; the clerk(s) were not ones I felt would be discreet, etc). All said and done, I don't think I have had anyone ever question me if they were for me or not. The most embarrassing thing that I can remember ever happening was one time a clerk was trying to help but made the situation worse. She was overly concerned about finding me a bag to conceal the purchase. If she would have just done nothing; almost no one would have known or cared. But as it was; she drew more attention to my purchase because of trying to find a bag for my diapers. Oh Well!

All of this was solved when I found that the BEST way to purchase was on-line. There are lots of places to purchase adult diapers and you can get some pretty good deals. I usually purchase mine in bulk or by the case. I'm in Indiana and NorthShore in Chicago has GREAT prices and deliver in one day (because they are so close; no need for overnight).

Self checkout at the local supermarket works fine. it was pretty akward the 1st few times tho for sure. its all in your head tho.

Can't remember if I've answered before but I go to London regularly during the winter to watch football and there's a small independent chemist store near the ground that sells them. So I have a place where I know I can stock up and, at the same time, there's the bonus that there's no chance I'm going to bump into anyone I know. That said, I do still feel a little self-conscious buying them!

I did buy my first adult diapers at a drug store.

I was so scared to do it ! So, one early weekend morning I drove well out of town and found them. There was hardly anyone in the store and I was in sunglasses and baseball cap making the purchase.

I probably looked more like someone going to rob the place, hehe. I really never thought of that then.

But after the nerve racking purchase the fun of wearing them well outweighed the embarrassment !

Now I do buy them online. Except for pull-ups, which I can fit into nicely. Somehow pull-ups would be for a related child and so acceptable.

However you buy them, I hope you enjoy them !!

I just go to the store and get them.
