Hi All,
I want to canvass information about how much people are spending on their products every month and tips on saving money.
For myself, I go through 3-4 premium diapers (Abena M4) a day. Add the cost of wipes and the occasional plastic pant replacement, I spend on average $200 which I pay out of my health savings account.
I don't have any tips on saving money other than to use a health savings account because it is tax free money.

Other input??

I think I am closing in on $225 or so a month now and unfortunately our health care plan does not cover Diapers.

Ditto on cost and ditto on lack of coverage

Maybe around $40 a month for two packs of Real Fits. It changes from month to month because I don't always wear them.

About $175. Which is a lot when you are on disability.
Thankfully I got tranquility atns and booster pads covered under my insurance (along with wipes, barrier cream, and bed pads) so starting next month I won't have to pay for anything.

So im sure that my insurance will cover about 200 units sense I moved to florida and now fall under a different policy, but im not sure aboit going about doing it. Should I go to a Dr and ask or just call my insurance? As of right now I go through about two abenas a day and 2 depends pull ups, it all really differs by each day.

My costs generally hover in the $200 +/- range. With that in mind, I transitioned to using cloth at night, which according to my calculations saves me $10-$12 a week when the cost of laundry is included. I try to stay in my night diaper until I'm ready to get in the shower, which can help cut out an extra disposable per day. Also, if I know I will be around the house for the day, I will often wear cloth. I figure if I have to wash cloth diapers anyway, another one isn't going to be a problem.

Roughly £160 a month for incontinence nappies (I use Molicare Slip) Then another £30 for disposable chair pads and wet wipes. Total £190 a month. I have my pads on monthly auto order.

My monthly expenditures for incontinence supplies is right around $130. This can vary a bit if there are unusual circumstances or if I have an unusual expense like PUL pants or a large mattress covers but that's a pretty good average.

I spend about $350 per month on diapers.
