How do you feel if someone asks who is that for?

I always get a little guilty and excited about bying baby things. Bottles, powder,

diaper rash creme, pacifiers usually aren't too much of a problem but I make a lot

of my own diapers (cloth) and buying "diaper flannel" by the yard has given me a

few surprised questions.

I usually go to the same fabric store -- maybe two or three times a year--

older women work there and I'm sure they talk about some of the guys who

buy this material.

One time-- a nice lady was helping me and as she was cutting the cloth-- she

asked me what all the material was for --I blushed and said "a project"--

she smiled and said -- I'll let you out the back after-- if you want-- she knew!!!!

Another time, I was cashing out and the cashier said " if this is for diapers--

make sure you wash the material first-- red, red, red, face-- thanks maaam.

Next time I go there,I think I'll just wear my diapers under my pants--

and if they ask--who knows -- matbe I'll say diapers and I need a seamtress.

Has anyone else had embarrassing experiences while buying baby things?

When buying diapers in public how do you feel if someone asks who is that for?

Every time I buy diapers in public I feel like everyone are looking at me so I wait till no one is near me so that I can pick a packet and bring it to the counter. Does anyone feel the same way?

I used to but if anyone who works there says anything they can be fired

If someone asks I just say they are for my handicapped brother. It works every time.

Well i guess it depends on who asks me . if its the pharmacist ill say they are for me and anyone who works there. if its a guy ill say its for my parents. and if its a girl well i might say its for me if shes cute LOL and see if she asks to change me LOL

I tell them they're for my goldfish, Rosco, he has trouble holding his water.

Well i like that one mo i may use it you dont mind LOL because who could resist helping out a bladder incontinent goldfish

I've been buying my Attends at a medical supply company. There are only a couple employees, so they've gotten to know me by sight. One day they were out of my size Attends, I asked if they had any more, they checked in back and were very apologetic for being out.

Recently they made a point of telling me the store was moving about 1/2 down the street, because the woman waiting on me recognizes me. It's less and less of a deal for me. That same time, the woman rushed to wait on me so I could leave - she was about to measure an older woman customer who needed to know what size plastic panties to buy for over her diapers... do you think you are the only, only one in the world who wears diapers? Who's to know you may not need them? I doubt you've got ABDL stamped on your forehead! Relax! 😁

Do you get a bag to carry them out? I've stopped bothering with a bag...no one cares that you have adult diapers.

Well for me i have to say it hasnt really been an issue. When i was buying Depend from the store nobody asked anything. However when I went to a medical supply store i simply told them they were for me. I have found tha it is just easier for me to simply tell any who ask that they are for me.

I use to worry about such things too, but I guess I'm getting older and it don't matter much anymore. Let them have the embarrassment on them, put them on the defencive.

Luvs It.

I've tried an experiment while diapered in public - I'm a DL, but discreet. Depending upon how EYE look at other people, the look on MY face, what I'm doing or what I'm looking at, has a direct correlation to how OTHERS look back at ME. If I look nonchalant, calm, cool, collected, and go about my business, and just buy the diapers, like it's no big deal, most people - if they even NOTICE that I'm buying diapers - are more likely to ignore me or if they think anything, they are empathetic. The worst thing is that the selection of decent disposables in stores is pathetic, and the only place you MIGHT be able to get cloth diapers and plastic pants is at a surgical/medical supply house. Thankfully, about anything an AB/DL wants can be gotten online, and delivered directly to an apartment or house, in plain packaging.

You're right on that note Tom. People pick up on your signals, how you act dictates how they react. If you look guilty of something, or act in that manner, there must be something to it then. If you look and act scared, you must be scared of something. If you go into a store and just do what you have to do, like for any other items you would buy, it's more than likely it will be no thing.

Luvs It.

Who cares what other people think. Our underwear is simply different, and more convenient, than other people's. We do what is necessary and adjust to that. I have learned to LOVE wearing diapers because I have to wear them anyway so just love them!

I dont care what people think of what or who i am buying them for i know they are for me and dont care. i get turned on when i by them. i love going to the counter with the hot girl there and i dont try to hide them

:😃 I'm with you daiperboy. I've gotten to the point I don't really care if people know or not. Most of the time no one says anything. Even seeing people I know don't say anything most of the time. One time a guy I bowl with came over to me while I was waiting in line at the checkout. He pointed at my bag of depends and said Hey I never knew and kinda laughed. I said well yea we all have our crosses to bear. He never said anouther word about it. I have seen him looking at my diaper area sometimes . I think he's looking to see if I have one on. :😃 I guess he'll just have to keep on wondering. 😁

I had the same feeling at the beginning; however, I have not been asked.

Furthermore, there is no one would pay attention on you unless you are very handsome or beautiful. If you always look around, you will find most people are looking at you. This is because you look around so you find someone looking at you. And the second reason is you will attract some people pay attention on you, especially the security guards, if you always look around, most people think you are going to steal or something unexpected.

So, choose the diaper in the same way you choose toothbrush or magazine, even someone think the diaper is for yourself, what they can do ? Buy diaper is legal, no one can stop you !

When I started to buy diapers I thought people would look at me strange at the store. I'd even go to the checkers that were female just for fun. I was disapointed when nobody paid much attention. So one day I went to Wal-Mart and grabbed a pack of depends. I made sure I soaked my diaper before going in there.

The Diaper was buldging and saggy. I had to pee more so I did. When I finaly got up to the cashier...she rang me up...then I paid and opened the package of depends right there and took one out. I told the cashier I'd be back. I walked to the bathroom with my diaper in hand and changed it.

I walked back to the checkstand. My actions got me plenty of looks from the cashier and other employees. It was awsome.

I bought my first pack last week and I have to say I actually got quite a buzz at asking a well presented middle aged supermarket female assistant where I could find adult diapers. I was able to tell her I was new to the problem and to discuss what would best fit me. She was very helpful and considered her answers carefully. Here was a total stranger and I was discussing everything with her. I stopped short of telling her why though, she would have assumed I had a medical problem. I walked out feeling really good about it.

Yeah, I've always been worried about that once or twice. I try to get my diapers within a half hour after they open, so the pharmacy is empty. Usually I do it on the weekdays, too, so there aren't too many people walking around.

I've never had anyone ask me who they're for, but if anyone asks, I'm running errands for a neighbor. That's it.

Some people dread buying diapers, or even baby powder, in public. But some people get a kick out of it, and almost want the sales clerk to know that the diapers are for them. That's what makes life interesting, everyone is a little different. I have not bought diapers in public in a long time, because they are cheaper and more convenient to buy on the internet.

Hmm i just feel normal as if im there for shopping, so far no one ever asked me before who is it for.

I always feel embarrassed but have learnt to pretend they re for some one else and this helps

I went this morning for a new pack. There weren't too many people there but someone was watching me go up to the counter and pay for diapers. It was a girl, just my type, someone I wouldn't mind saying hello to... well, if I weren't carrying diapers. I wanted her to ask me who the diapers were for (I hear girls love embarrassing secrets!!). I wanted to catch a sly grin. Nothing. Damn it.

I have bought diapers from the chemist loads of times normally things like Tena Maxi or Flex with out any problems or questions I have even ordered them because they have not been in stock it's not a problem. If you can keep a straight face and not blush no one will assume they are for you they will probably think you are looking after an elderly relative or something. 😉

I always feel that the best way is to be honest with the shop particulary if its your regular one as they can often give advice.

One of the first time I bought a pack of nappies I was asked i asked a stsff member that i was looking for incontinece products and asked me was it pads or nappies with tape, I said nappies with tape and asked her if they had plastic pants as well. She said yes and advised me to buy them a couple of sizes bigger than my own waist as they might split. They will always keep a packet for me as they can have a run on them when they get them.

I actually gained some adrenaline from it as there is always a risk someone may recognise me and then would tell everyone i know, although i never really think there is any chance of that ever happening

The true professional sales people selling adult diapers in Canada,are very good at being tactfull about the diapers they are selling.Linda takes me in some times and makes a little bit of a spectical of me over my diapers.Being a nurse she seems to get away with a little more than civilians buying adult diapers.

I used to buy my diapers at Wal-mart, but now I just order them over the phone. I used to get DEPENDS maximum protection,

they're a big seller, and lots of older people buy them, so

it was no big deal to buy cases of these. But I know people that are embarrassed to buy them, so avoid the humiliation

and just order them over the phone.

I've always buy diapers in public.

The cashiers don't care about u buying diapers.

[/quote]Oh see, you didn't know! Every time you buy diapers, they mark it down in a book. I haven't found out what happens with that book yet, but you're in there! 😄 😄 😄 I think that's why some people are scared to buy out in public 😁
