im looking to get a second diaper for backups. my insurance gives me tranquility atn but i would like a better quality diaper for when im out. northshore supreme seems to be a good diaper from the reviews and you get a good amount for the price. im already gonna be ordering some boosters from northshore so i figured id stick with the same company when ordering backup diapers.

i do have tranquility atns out the wazzoo. my supplier sent me 6 boxes which should arrive today (2 of those should be the actual diapers, the rest i guess wipes, bed pads, etc.). i told them i just needed the diapers but they sent me everything. i may donate some of it. i cant store all this stuff. i live in a stuido apartment. and they just sent me my shipment a couple of weeks ago! i never thought id be complaining that i have too many incontinence supplies. hahahaha

I've tried out the northshore supreme diaper. They are a really good choice, and my backup diaper too.

And aren't insurance companies stupid like that. They won't spend the money to get you decent diaper (which would save them money overall), but they also insist on spending money for stuff you don't need or even want.

yeah i didnt even ASK for this stuff. they just sent it. like gloves. i dont need gloves! the wipes are nice and so are the bed pads but i dont need 20 packs of wipes. and i specifically asked for just the diapers to be delivered and they still sent more.

good to know about the northshore. ill give em a try.

well i got the delivery and it wasnt 6 cases of briefs, ups was just too lazy to enter the correct weight. speaking of laziness, the driver left all of my packages in our lobby, requiring me to carry extremely heavy boxes up a flight of stairs by myself. with my bad legs, it was horrible. and i was supposed to refuse 4 of those boxes (becuase i dont need it all and have no place to put them), but the driver was too lazy to contact me when they arrived and instead of letting me know they were there so i could refuse the packages, just left them in the lobby. ive called ups 3 times once being disconnected and am on hold with them once again. so frustrating.....ugh.

i am just going to keep the packages. my medical supply place screwed up and im going to have to spend friday sitting at my apartment waiting for them to pick it up. and i have my urologist on friday. no can do.
ill just have them make sure they dont send stuff for awhile and find places to put stuff to the best of my ability.
it sucks that i had to climb all those stairs with my bad legs, but at least i have stuff and for that i am grateful. ill probably donate the gloves and whatnot

Try boxers on top to help hold them up. It looks better too!
