Tartlon, I'm curious.. didn't you say you were a priest? Would you then not have housing near the church where you are stationed making the commute unnecessary? I'm confused. If you don't want to share.. don't worry. Just being nosy.
The parishes I have served often do not have a rectory so my family has to find its own housing. Because chicago is so expensive, I live out in the suburbs. Additionally, I have a son with needs and his therapy and school are perfect here. Plus, my in-laws live near. Win win. But, that does mean it can take 40-90 minutes to get to work and the same back. I am with people all day. It’s not feasible to get to the restroom every 10 minutes during services, counseling secessions, appointments or my other work.
I had been getting by with better dry with boosters, but they were hit and miss. Many times I would come home and immediately have to change my pants and shirt because the diaper just couldn’t keep up.
Thankfully, rearz came up with their new 8500 capacity diapers and those, with a booster can legitimately make it 12 hours. I use the mega inspire + diapers that are all white. I purchase them during a bogo half price sale and basically got the diapers for less than $2 a brief which is worth it because I use less briefs this way and often don’t need a booster, which I always did in better dry .
These are now my go to diapers and I will basically do feast and famine with them. Instead of buying each month, I will buy 3-4 months of diapers at a time (I store the boxes in my garage) when I encounter a huge sale. Given the shorterages of diapers of late, I am actually glad I did this because I still have 4 cases of 108 diapers each in the garage and one opened case in the house that I just opened. +5 bags of betterdry (I tried to offload them but it was almost $100 to ship a case, and that’s $30 more than most companies charge for the diapers.) which I use when I am only going to be gone for a few hours so I don’t waste one of the high capacity diapers.
Hope that answered your question
