Buying diapers in public

That really does suck....i still cant even buy my own diapers i send my boyfriend in to buy them for me because i get to nervous...i was picked on alot as a kid so i don't take well to it.

As for the jerk, i will say there is something to be said about working retail that turns your heart to ice towards customers, they are never happy, they only seem to want to make you miserable, they feel because they shop there they own the place and they are generally rude ALL the time. HOWEVER! the way this particular employee treated you was a damn shame, he had no right to do it and should have been disciplined for it if not fired, it is NEVER ok no matter how bad a day you are having or what your personal views are to pick on a customer for any reason. you definitely should have talked to the manager and let them know that you felt a bit betrayed by there company that they would let such behavior slip through...wow..../rantoff

I had a great experiance at the medical store thursday. I went in and the asked me what I needed and I told her I Needed some adult diapers. she was very helpful and professionly about everything. She ask my size and what brand I needed and answered all my questions.Now I ready to go back again.

I stopped at Walgreen Monday to grab a package of diapers as I was almost out. While walking to the back of the store a female clerk, about 35, asked if she could help me find anything. I thought "this could be fun". I told her that I had lost a bet to my girlfriend and had to spend the rest of the week wearing diapers. She giggled and said "that's to cute, follow me". She led me to the diaper aisle and asked if I needed diapers or pullups. I looked silly and said that I didn't know. She then asked if I was going to be diapered or did I have to put them on myself. Again I said that I didn't know. By now she was having fun with this and I had a hard time not showing my enjoyment. She said that pullups would be more comfortable and easier to put on then said, what's the worst she's going to do if you bring home the wrong ones, spank you? We both laughed at that. I took the pullups, thanked her, and started for the check out. She then asked if I had ointment and powder and said a week wearing these and you'll need it. I bought those also. As I was leaving she said to stop back later in the week and let her know how things were going. I think her husband or boyfriend might have a bet real soon. I think I'll stop back on Thursday or Friday and see if she remembers me.

I went back to Walgreen yesterday and sure enough the same lady was there and waved when she saw me. After finishing what she was doing she came over and asked "how many more days". I told her 2 after today. She said "and you wore them all week"? When I said I did she said that I was a good sport and someone was lucky to have me. Little did she know that I wear them all the time anyways. I can see myself going back to that store more often now.

I always go at odd times of the day to avoid lines. Then I make sure a lady is working the counter. LOL

I guess it just depends on how open you are with your DL lifestyle. If your relatively open with it you probably dont have much trouble going to the store to buy them. If your a little more closed about your DL lifestyle, it definately makes it harder as your always wondering whose looking, what people think of you, and worrying about someone you know seeing you. I guess it just comes down to your frame of mind.

No one gives a second look at what your buying. I used to be nervous as well. Then later found out no one cares. So relax folks and don't be shy buying diapers or pull ups.

I agree it is a very common need for lots of people. Just look around any drug store or supermarket and you will notice every major chain carries adult incontinence products. People see other people buying them all the time, why would they even bat an Eye at you buying yours. Hell most people wouldn't say a word to a shoplifter the saw with their very own eyes. Much less report the bastards. Don't be shy. If it your thing buy em and own it.

Yes, you handled it as well as possible. I buy mine in towns not my own when I am on the road because I live in a small community that know everyone. However, if anyone familiar asked, or if anyone period asked, I would just say that I am picking them up for someone who cannot travel out of town to a walmart and am helping them save money. And I have to keep their name confidential (even though it is mine, I am not lying!) But then that depends on where you are shopping. I guess you could use that line or its equivalent a dollar general.

Just remember if your not in a diaper people in line have no idea who they are for. if you act like this is nothing most if not all people just shrugg it off like they are for someone else. i to have had me share of cashiers smirk a lil and yes its embaressing but i know this is just a product they sell like all others and seeing they never have much round here in my size i am to assume im not the only person who purchasses em . again tho i am sorry to hear he treated ya that way! u should have whisperd in his ear yeah they are for me and even tho i wear diapers and use em i still wouldnt do you

Boy, there was a time I felt the very same way, don't make any waves for me cashier person 😳 please! But I think as time goes on and you get passed some fears, you start to think. And, who the hell are you (cashier) to be making me feel bad, uncomfortable, and humiliated for buying some sort of aid. Doesn't have to be diapers either. Now, I kinda think of it like this,"Go ahead humiliate my day" cause like Dlcripple points out, I'm gonna slam you for being so stupid as to make fun of such a situation and me!

No need to feel belittled by someone with such a minute intellect. And if you should, I hope you can express to them, it's not acceptable, in any way!

I genwerally buy them at a local drug store when they are on sale. I use to get worried about someone I knew seeing me, still do to some extent, but have never had a problem.. It is a exciting in a way to buy them, the thought of possibly getting caught, etc.

Hahahahaha! There's a grocery store not far from my house but just far enough. They're going out of business and have 75% off everything. When I went in, I was one of only a few people in the place. I purchased 6 packs of Depend briefs, 15 packs of the store brand briefs and 4 packs of Tena guards all for about $50! I have over 260 diapers now in addition to what I already had. Tomorrow I'm going in for the underjams and maybe a pack of huggies size 6 and some pampers size 7. I've never tried to wear them and don't know if they'll even fit but for all of the above at less than $20 I'll give them a try. If all else fails, I'll have some great stuffers!

I always go to places where i know no one i know works or anywhere my family shops

one time i bought some from the pharmacy where my sister works but i made absolutly sure she wasn't on duty that day

Store clerks aren't allowed to ask why you're buying items. The only question I've ever been asked is "would you like a bag for this?" If a store clerk harasses you about any purchase you can (and probably should) talk to the manager and get them fired.

I generally use the Depend Fitted brief. Yes they are not the greatest but they are are easy to find and I love the plastic backing along with the elastic waist and leg openings.

My first few purchases were a struggle, but then you realize that no one really cares what you are buying and it gets much easier.

I to have gone to different drug stores to purchase my diapers. i found this one medical suppy store that carried plastic pants too. i told the lady there i needed some disposable diapers since i was running low. she helped me and asked did i need any plastic pants too. i told her yes and she helped me with the size i needed. She had a big bathroom in the back of the store she gave me the pairs of plastic pants and let me try them on over the disposable i already had on. She told me to come out to let her check the size. She ran her fingers along the waist and leg openings for fit. since then i always come back there to purchase my diapers and plastic pants

I get mine for free from the local health nurse, she has given me samples of different types to try and then I tell her what works best for me and she will order them.

I usually find the brand I want or am in the mood for, and google it under their shoping link to find the best price. My fav 3 are Molicare, Abena Abriform xplus, and of course Bambinos.

For the last 3 years I have only bought mine at thrift stores. You can find some pretty good deals sometimes

I was buying a package of disposable diapers at the K-Mart in Virginia Beach a couple years ago when the cashier, who was younger and cute (female) asked me if I wanted a bag for them. I told her no that wouldn't be necessary since it had the strap on it to carry them already. I told her when you've been wearing as long as I have you aren't worried about the laughs or teasing. She started to giggle and although I am not positive, I beleive she started hitting on me. I wish I would have persued that, but I ended up leaving the area shortly after the incident.

Buy them as far as you can get from people you might run into you know, that way you will never see them again. So really who cares what they think? its hard but youll get used to it.

I just bought some at the grocery store and used self checkout. If you don't make a big deal out of them, no one else will care.

Just tell them that it's for an elderly person or that you are playing a joke on someone for their birthday. Most people won't even pay attention.

I just bought some disposables today 24 pack of attends blue, i went in the drug store all the women were in there i asked them what i need they brought me over to the diaper isle and picked out what i needed. They asked if i need any thing else i said no. i then told them if they keep this kind in stock and size i will be back to buy more, they said they would.

I used to be TERRIFIED to go in and buy them! However, as of recently it has started to become a routine. I actually look forward to one of the nice ladies asking me if I need any help. I always ask for the thickest, most absorbent ones of course! Lately as I've gotten into more conversations with them about nighttime wetting, they've provided me with free samples. Free diapers, woo hoo!

I get a rush whenI buy my Depends. I buy them at the local drug store. I was buying 3 bags bags and the lady ask if i had enough diapers. I told her it would last a day or two. That was the only time any one has said anything about it

I travel some for business, and one of my favorite passtimes when in a new city is to visit hospital supply store and ask what they have in adult diapers, that are washable and can be used over and over again. I have had a few good experiences where I found a genuine caring female sale clerk, who was very happy to show me evrything they had. Nowadays it is very hard to find anything but disposables in a store. You pretty much have to go to the internet to find cloth diapers and plastic pants. There was one store in the Chicago area who had a nice selection, but they closed about five years ago. Lifestyles Emporium, in the San Francisco area, is the only place I know of where you can see and touch diapers and plastic pants before you buy them, does anyone know of another place?

Its always easy to purchase some where with a automatic check out. If someone ask you can tell them they are a gag gift or tell them the truth..... 😁

Have not been asked anything about my diapers they respect the problem i have
