Buying diapers in public

In my case I have no problem with the purchase of my diapers, this my wife who goes shopping at the local pharmacy.

Go into my local Boots. They stock them and must know people use them .No big deal. The lady at the check out just gives me a smile and asks?? , have I got a bag or do I want one..??.

I have to buy them in a town about 12 miles away. Our small town doesn't have a grocery store or Walgreen's type store. Anyway, I buy them at either Walgreen's or CVS in this neighboring town or at the nearest Walmart about 23 miles away when we do our grocery shopping. At 72 years old, I really don't have any issues buying diapers; and, I don't care who knows. While I don't truly have incontinence issues and wear them mostly to satisfy a pee kink/fetish, all my friends know I lost my prostate to cancer and if they discovered I wore diapers, I'd simply say, "That's sometimes the fate of prostate cancer." I will not have avoided the issue nor will I have lied to them as to why I wear them. I might have allowed them to draw their own conclusion in the direction I led them; but, those things happen.

Question for the On-line brigade - specifically the Amazon buyers.

My PC is a family one and everything I ever go onto Amazon for comes up forever as adverts and reminders on other websites that you looked at that item. Is there anyway of being certain of stopping Amazon from spamming this advertising to all and sundry?

Is there anyway of being certain of stopping Amazon from spamming this advertising to all and sundry?

Three things:

1) There are options within Amazon to either clear or not show recent history. That stops Amazon itself from showing the items that you searched for.

2) Always (repeat, always) completely clear all history and cookies from your browser when you've finished one of your shopping adventures.

3) Alternatively, you can use "incognito" mode in Chrome (YMMV with other browsers) so that cookies and history are not saved when the browser is closed.

Since my post of 2 weeks ago I have decided (for the foreseeable future) to buy Tranquility Overnight diapers. Their stated capacity is 34 oz. I don't believe they are carried in brick & mortar retail stores; so, I ordered them on-line. I've been looking at specs on various diapers to find their absorbancy capacities. Yes, all sorts of pop ups for diapers appear everywhere on my computer. I have my computer set up to delete cookies every 7 days. If I delete them every day, the sites I go to regularly will require me to log in each time. There are several, such as Zity, I don't want to be bothered with in that way. But, my laptop is my computer and nobody else ever uses it. The only other person that might is my wife and she's well aware I wear 24/7 so that's not a problem. If I had to hide my diaper wearing from her I don't believe I could wear them.

As I don't have a credit card or debit account and I can't get them online anymore due to myself being made redundant or fired from my last paid job almost 4 years ago due to no fault of my own then,

If I am in the UK I usually buy my own supply from ehither at boots chemist or from the Medical/mobility shop in my area of the UK as in town.

As for abroud usually from the nearest supermarket that is convenient to me and this usually means me going to the baby section or aisle and selecting a adult sized product based on my personal needs.

As for other situations well I may try to get reassessed by a different doctor to try and get nappies or diapers on the local health care scheme but that's a long shot at this point.

When I first had to start wearing diapers we did buy them at a medical supply company, and Wal-Mart. We tried different brands to see what would be best for me. Then my wife went on line and found North shore, and we have been getting my diapers from there for 9 months or so.

I usually go to pharmacies that aren't near my house and use the self checkout. It's still a bit embarrassing for me even though I've been doing it for years. Goodnites pullups are super comfy and fun to wet and aren't embarrassing to buy at a store.

I normally order my diapers online but before I had a credit card I always bought my diapers in person. My preferred store is Walmart and I'll still buy from stores if I'm running out. I get nervous about buying diapers in person but I also know that if I'm just confident and remember that nobody really cares what I'm purchasing that my experience will be rather uneventful.

I buy them from WalMart. Cheap and easy. I've used both the self checkout and the normal line. Once I was asked, "Do you want me to put your diapers in a bag?" i.e. so no one could see them. Seemed like a waste of bags to me.

I make myself go to CVS and pay the cashier. The embarrassment is a turn on for me

It is true that the internet diaper suppliers seem to have much superior disposables. I only started buying online when the stores stopped carring plastic backed diapers (which, obviously, I prefer). Not sure I've found a real favorite yet (on top of which my first preference is cloth with plastic panties). However ABU and Bambino have scored high.

The other thing that strikes me, and this has been discussed elsewhere, is that the AB_DL community must be considerably larger than appears to support so many merchants selling AB-DL aware diapers. Rather nice to know.

Up to now I’ve always bought mine from the supermarket in small quantities as they were an occasional treat but as I’m now totally hooked I’m thinking of ordering online and the suggestions from everyone are really helpful - thank you all

To Suzi Q I use Incontinence Choice they carry a large selection at reasonable prices but do not sell the AB pattern nappies

Thank you so much for the advice - I will investigate ?

I get my answers ready. I used to say it was for my neighbor.....then I said. Hey wait a minute......so many people have a weak bladder.........

So I look online for the type/capacity that gives me the best value and walk in and ask for it. Usually 3.9 liters but I never com close to that. buy I love the look, feel and sag. No big deal. Jut like buying anything else

I always go to a store i never go to. Use it specifically for this purpose. Just down the road ...

Besides, i can not order online because of my husband.

We buy Pull-Ups at our local grocery stores. Plastic backed disposables on-line. Back when we lived in another state, we bought from Walgreens (Depends Maximums) and a Medical Supply (Tranquility ATNs). We purchase all of her plastic pants on-line

I had an interesting experience with this YEARS AGO. We're talking, back when I was 23 or so. No internet, no adult incontinence products as there are today. I still lived with my parents so, no way I could have cloth diapers even if I'd known where to find them and been able to afford them because I'd have had to keep them for days in a bag in the closet, sneak them out of the house and off to a laundromat to wash them / back again.

I'd often buy toddler-sized Pampers in the purple boxes and tape two of them together lengthwise and wear because I could easily sneak those out a few at a time and toss them in a dumpster somewhere. But at some point I became aware that yes, there were "adult-sized" diapers but they were the kind they used at hospitals and could only be bought from a health care supply place.

So off I went to one of these places--where you go for crutches, wheelchairs, all those sorts of things. This friendly young guy about my age came out and asked what I needed and I asked about this and yes, they did have them. You could only buy them by the case and they were called "Disposable Adult Diapers". I asked how much a case was and he told me and I handed him the money.

Then he started asking questions. Good natured, of course. Stuff like "Why are you paying for them, your insurance would cover this!" Well at the time I only worked part-time and didn't have my own policy and was on my parents' policy. Even if I'd had my own I'm sure I'd have had to be diagnosed with incontinence in order for insurance to cover them. So that wasn't an option so I blurted out "Oh they're not for me they're for my brother."

He then kept asking questions. "Who is your brother? Does he have insurance?" He was trying to save me money but I just wanted to pay him and leave and eventually I said "Can I just please pay you for these?" He said "Well..... whatever...." and I did, grabbed them, and left.

That was a very nerve-wracking, embarrassing experience. Afterward I thought "Well maybe I should have just told him the truth--there's nothing wrong with me, I just LOVE WEARING DIAPERS!"

Worst part of this was, they WERE NOT good diapers. Large, rectangle-shaped and thin. After buying them and trying one of them I never wore the others, instead I just used them for pads to put underneath my taped-together Pampers.

We only buy the goodnites at Wal-Mart. We buy all my diapers thru Northshore. We have also bought the plain onesies thru Northshore.

The printed onesies I have are bought thru babypants.com

I wear GoodNites sometimes during the day and nobody cares when I buy them. I've never had a cashier say ARE THESE FOR YOU??? They just ring it up with all the other stuff and I pay. My mom orders my regular diapers online and they come in a big box with the name on the side. I guess the delivery guy maybe knows we get them but he probably thinks it's for an old person if he even notices.

I buy my diapers on-line as they are not sold in any stores. That's fine with me as it is quite convenient.

I pretty much just stick to online purchases nowadays. A few of the pharmacies around me used to carry the depend tape on diapers but were nearly as expensive as Abena online. They also had the Tena overnight pull-ups which I could use if I had access to a changing area. But now they’ve all been bought by the same chain that only carries depend and store brand pull-ups which are poor quality and overpriced. I’ve stoped at a few medical supply stores. One carries Tena and Tranquility but only in small size. They’ll order them for you but I may as well just buy online at that point. There was one really small medical supply store with the sweetest old lady tending the front of the store. She noticed me looking over their incontinence supplies and asked if there was anything she could help me “find in that area.” They had depends and I explained I needed something more absorbent. She went in the back and brought out a pack of Attend breathable briefs. They were $19 for 24. I thanked her and explained that they didn’t have leak guards, weren’t very soft against the skin and tend to clump up even when they’re dry. It was by far the most candid discussion I’ve ever had with another person about my diapers and she was so nice about it. When I’ve listed my medications or picked them up, I’ve had doctors and pharmacists say “you’re too young to need all of these” as if they feel bad for me or something. I can only imagine what it was like for the 70 something lady discussing diapers with a 20 something guy but she was so kind and understanding.

Seem like nowdays at least in my area getting any other brands other than the chain pharmacies brand no longer exists. I dont use the chain brand of diapers because there junk outside of and emergency. I'm currently using Northshore for all diapers and related items.

Due to this seemingly endless pandemic we have decided to totally minimise contact with everyone and therefore I ordered 6 months worth of Nappies so it all came in one delivery, the company was delighted to take my order for 8 triple packs of 28 Nappies, all 8 boxes arrived yesterday morning and are now in a super big pile in the garage-awesome !

The car will have to stay outside until the pile reduces in size.

Meanwhile I will just get on and keep using them whilst trying to nurse the wallet back to full health😢

I have no issues buying diapers in public but I have no need anymore I just click submit refill through the online pharmacy and magically 8 cases of Abena's show up on my doorstep the same with my wife but she is getting tranquility pullups and poise pads. we stopped trying to buy the Walmart wipes locally it's just easier to order our 4-6 cases of wipes online now as well.

I usually buy them at the local market, and use self checkout

I used to go to a local outlet for Medical Products. Diapers, padding, restraints and enema equipment filled the racks. Thick diapers on under my clothes with my Ex in tow. It was nice because she would wear her duties and make like she was my fulltime Nurse. Many times I would be in a changing room wearing only diapers. Mean while the sales clerk shuffled products back and forth for me to try on. The looks I would receive leaving the store carrying our latest diaper purchases to the car.

I have never seen cloth diapers for adults in stores or medical supply businesses even though I looked for them many times when shopping for plastic diaper covers which were often available in medical supply companies, pharmacies and drug stores. I know there are some stores around the country that sell ABDL products today but none locally. Before internet shopping I did enjoy embarrassing myself by wearing a cloth diaper and plastic pants when looking for new plastic pants to replace ones l had that were torn or worn out and asking for help from sales ladies. They'd take me to their changing room, bring samples of different size rubber pants to try on over my diaper. I always got such a rush, felt very embarrassed and naughty when they come in to the changing room and saw me in just my diaper, rubber pants and shirt. After finding one that fit and talking with the lady helping me, sometimes I'd potty in my diaper while going through checkout. Thank god diapers and rubber pants are so easy to shop for today over the internet and I have a girlfriend who shares my love for diapers and rubber pants. I still like to be naughty with my diapers and rubber pants and my girlfriend teases me often about that.
