I come to point that I don't want to be at but I need to share... But first do my reviews and videos help you? any? the videos take a great deal of time and effort to create and have Hard costs to make. the reality is that I as a person am no longer able to cover the costs to make these videos. this is a one-person team and I have devoted most of my free time and until now all of my personal money to produce but I am no longer able to do this on my own. If a fraction of 1% of my viewers used the links we provide to trusted vendors... (most of you use them!) I could make videos without stopping! many people have been suffering I Know this.... I am not here trying to beg for money but to be honest with the reality of the situation I find myself and this project! if you purchase supplies from the vendors we partnered with why not use my links? they add no cost to you! they are secure and safe! please understand that I find this my calling at the moment but also find that I cant continue on my own... thank you for understanding and listening!

I have only watched a few of your videos honestly. I don’t find what works for most people works for me. I don’t do my own ordering of diapers either generally. I may randomly buy a case to check something out but I have a guy who does my ordering. (He bills Medicaid for me). I hope you find way to continue your calling. |

I find it helpful, but I don't use the links because the VA provides the my supplies so I shop sales for the rest. Also, I tend to shop direct from the manufacture for those. Maybe a sponsorship or Patreon or some other support venture? |

Success is not guaranteed in this life... it is hard sometimes to see things you have worked for getting washed away, the truth is if things are meant to work out they do and that is the way of things... I hate being negative but had a rough day and needed to vent. |

I find your videos helpful. They help me decide which products to try and which to avoid. Please keep posting them. I realize that they represent a lot of time and effort on your part, but I appreciate your efforts. |

Because I mostly use washables, your site is less useful for me. Although I regret your current difficulties, I do appreciate your efforts. Your site is a Consumer Reports for diapers; the diapers I use when on vacation (thanks covid) I bought after reading your reviews. I commend you for the time and effort you have invested in this project; however, I do understand your exhaustion and need to step back and catch your breath. I thank you for your contribution and wish you all the best in the future. |

Thank you for your support! I don't plan to stop making videos altogether if I am able... I cant see the future to at what level my videos will keep coming... I have a few still in the works at different levels and a great many I hope to do... 2020 was rough on many people I spent my energy and time on this project it really kept me focused and sane during that time ... however my options are becoming difficult to see, And I will have to direct my attention elsewhere and this may require to go dark for an unknown amount of time... I just don't know. like many, I have frustrations that I have to work out... again thank you for the support. |

Thanks for actually putting your position out there. I really respect that and your effort. The brutally honest side from me is that I have only seen maybe parts of two reviews and did not find either particularly useful. They seemed really long and somewhat tedious. The most useful information I've found is from individual posts on this forum. Guess I feel a bit off sharing the negative, but you asked. Good luck with your venture. |

I have eagerly watched about 90% of your videos and have found all of them to be extremely helpful. Your reviews of disposable adult diapers and booster pads are the most useful to me. Although I use pull-ups less, I do use tham and your reviews of those also have been helpful. It is important to all of us that you are providing facts from scientific testing as opposed to advertising hype or vague euphemisms. Your videos forced me to reconsider some preconceptions I had held, all for the better. Your videos have helped me to make practical decisions by evaluating both the best performing disposable adult diapers and those offering the best value within a given cost category. I suspect that you also have provided incentive to several manufacturers to improve their products. As I am double incontinent, all aspects of your reviews can be useful for me. Thank you for all of your time and effort. Good luck and best wishes, --John (double incontinent) |

Sincerely, I am aware of my lack of making the videos entertaining, it is hard to be analytical and entertaining... I also AM VERY aware I am not a great host that is a talent I do not possess BUT I TRY My videos are long because for the In-depth reviews I want to show SOME of the testing, truth is for a 10 min final in-depth video there are almost 60 hours of actual testing! no one would watch that! my reviews are not for everyone and not intended to be, simply I saw a lack of more analytic reviews, people pouring water and (not custom saline to mimic urine) in a diaper as saying see it holds a ton of fluid!... anyway If my videos help a few it was a success and if I have to stop I can say I helped a few and that's good enough for me! I did not make these to be wealthy or be famous but I did hope it could pay for itself and that issue is my lack of talents. again I truly do appreciate the honesty! |
