Buying diapers online or in person?

Which way do you prefer? Online shopping or in person? I would love to be able to go into shops and buy adult cloth diapers and plastic pants, but I wonder how many of you feel like I do?

I would prefer on-line anonymous, But have no where to send it to. So I shop in person, sometimes I can find a self check out line. I do go to this medical supply store that carries plastic pants and good quality diapers. The same lady is always there and sells them to me and gives me mischievous smile.

I prefer to go directly buy my diapers but in france we have too much "cloth like" covered diapers that's why I prefer buying online on german or italian shops

I would like to be able to buy my diapers in person. i have not yet found a store that sells adult diapers near my area.

I have ordered on line in the past but a I found a pharmacy not to far from our home that carries premium diapers like Abena and their prices are inline to what I pay online so now I order through the, for the most part as it's simpler to call in the order then head over and pickup the cases.

Always online, no good premium diapers at stores near me :/

I'll buy them in person, but I walk around the store to make sure no one I know is in there, and often chicken out. Online is easier.

In person, that's all part of the fun of wearing diapers.

I prefer in person. That wasn't always the case. At first I was embarrassed. Today, I like to test the embarrassment threshold of the checkout clerk. I wish I had an ABDL store nearby with clothes as well, especially vinyl clothes, sissy dresses as well as diapers. And I'm extremely disappointed in the recent trend of diaper brands now being sold in the retail pharmacy chain stores. Quite frankly, they suck. I don't want those cloth-like exteriors with Velcro tabs. I want plastic exteriors that crinkle, thicker padding, and real tapes. Now I'm forced to give up buying my diapers in person locally, and instead order online from mail order business. Thankfully, many of the mail order companies I buy from still sell diaper brands with plastic packing and real tape closures.

Being a cloth diaper and plastic pants fan, I've come to see that the net is the only place to get my things. I'd love to be able to go to a store and be able to check out the stuff and pick out what I want. Back in the seventies before disposables, the diapers and waterproof pants were made to look completely different than baby things. The pants were this nasty plastic covered nylon (yuck). The diapers always had this barrier made of the same stuff as the pants. It really ruined them for me. You had to go to Sears or Pennys and order "real" plastic pants. Even then they were flannel lined on the inside. It wasn't till The internet that I could get the "real deal".

Same here. I wear cloth and buy them online because that's the only place I can find them. If they were available locally I'd buy them locally as long as it wasn't a medical supply company. Years ago I went into one of those and bought a big box of "Disposable Adult Diapers." That's all it said on the box. This was 1981--years before you ever was adult incontinence products in the stores. (And for the record, "Disposable Adult Diapers" were horrible--flat, thin, and rectangular with bad tape. After wearing a few I ended up using them for "changing pads" under my cloth ones.)

Anyway I went in there, I was about 22 at the time, asked the sales guy for them and he kept asking me for my insurance information. I didn't want to have them billed to insurance because--technically--there was nothing wrong with me. But back then I was too scared to just come right out and tell the guy "There's nothing wrong with me, I JUST LOVE WEARING DIAPERS!" Finally he did let me pay cash but kept shaking his head and telling me "I don't know why you want to pay for these if your insurance would cover them."

But if there were some ABDL themed store--at this point in life with me older and really not caring anymore--I'd go in there to buy diapers while wearing diapers. That would be a rush, for sure.

I did once go into a drug store while wearing thick wet diapers under my shorts to buy some diaper pins. I got up to the check-out and the cashier (an attractive 40-something woman) rang them up, looked at me, smiled, and said "Well THOSE oughta hold 'em up!" I started to pull my shorts down, look at her, and say "Thanks, because they're about to fall down right now!" This was about 20 years ago and I was still too shy to do that sort of thing. I think if it happened again now, I'd do it. LOL.

I buy in person usually at rite aid , it is exciting buying diapers wondering if the cashier even considers that they might be used for something sexual,but I could be buying for an elderly parent or have a real medical need myself ,so with that in mind I don`t get too nervous.

Up till now I have always bought them in person and never online. Here you can buy them in most of the bigger supermarkets.

I use to buy from a medical supply company and go in every month. I now just order online, less Hassel

I buy them always online. When you buy diapers in a store, your neighbours, friends or family can see that.

I have no where to ship them to so when I go through issues with incontinence I have to buy them in person usually look for a store with a self check out line

Wouldn't you ship them to your house??????

I'm in college and in the summer I live at home with my parents who I haven't told about this and while at college I share a dorm room with people I don't want to find out about this so it is a lot easier for me when I need them to just go buy them at the store because I don't need the best brands so the bargain generic brands work fine for me

If you wanted to buy them on line and can not send them to your home. Rent a PO box. Buy a amazon gift card with cash if you didn't want to use your credit card. Open a seperate account. And just have them sent to your PO box. If the box is to big they keep it behind the counter for you until you pick them up. I do this all the time.They have always been in a amazon box. No one will ever know.

I could do that but for now it is easier to buy in stores I only wear when my overactive bladder is being screwy causing me to need to wear one at night

I prefer online.

My biggest concern is that it's easier. I go through 80 to 100 diapers a month on average, so getting one shipment of 4 packs a month is a lot easier than constantly trying to find time to shop.

I don't have any particular problems with buying them in person, although I prefer not to because good diapers aren't sold in brick and mortar stores here. I usually only drop into brick and mortar stores on the very rare occasion that I run out of diapers while on the go.
