I'm glad to hear you have a temporary solution, but it won't last. Try and find a way to get them to cover better diapers. And don't take no for an answer this time, you have a right to the basic medical equipment you need in spite of what some penny pincher says.

i have a new primary care doc who i dont see til late october and my urologist is useless.
for now im going to have to pay for my diapers out of pocket. ill just have to cut corners and be careful of how i spend. no more coffees out, eating out, etc. its just a price im gonna have to pay.

A bummer for sure I know. All I can say is,

1) Pursue seeing a new urologist even if it takes a while, just don't give up until you have a satisfactory solution.

2) don't look at the cost of each diaper compared to it's laboratory tested capacity. This is misleading and can be a costly mistake. You need to look at good premium diapers that work and will last for hours on end, and compare them as a total cost per day regardless of how much they are rated to hold.
