How does getting pads/diapers work in the states (which I assume you're in)? Here in the UK if you get them on the nhs they are delivered to you and then you ring up to confirm the next order so you have to remember the date of your deadline rather than whether or not you have pads...unless you are buying privately anyway

tangerine,

Unfortunately, in the U.S. most medical insurance does not cover incontinence supplies such as diapers or pads.

That is an issue that needs to be dealt with, in my opinion.
If other countries have it so people can get free supplies, then the US should, too.
However, you can thank the government for how it is now....LOL

Yes they don't cover. Sometimes to save diapers I would just sit or lay on a pad.

Surely that just floods it though? If I did that back when I wore pads I would have either flooded the under pad or gone through loads of them.
