Yea it just sucks when you have such a tight budget that you're like "welp am I gonna be in the negative at the end of the month because I have to buy incontinence supplies?" I was really hoping that the tranquility would work. And maybe they still will with the boosters I dunno.

That's ironic, since I was forced to switch from ConfiDry 24/7 to Abena's and am hating it. But hey, what works for you is what's most important individual consideration!

the thing i am not a fan of is something like 62.00 or so a case and it is only 3 packs of 12 diapers northshore supreme are like 64.00 a case for 3 packs of 15 and i feel the northshore are just as good if somewhat better than abena both money wise and function wise

Agreed mattwp. Which is why I ended up going with northshore. I was just wondering why porkchop didnt like them because he gets them free from the VA

Justej,

Have you considered trying cloth diapers>? The startup cost is steep but once you save and can but them, overtime they pay for themselves. Until I gained weight, i was saving hundreds on diapers. I really like the pocket style diapers because you can totally custimize the absorbency. If youre interested, i can sell you my lot that i hardly ever use. What is your waist size? Id be willing to let them go at 15 sollars a oiece for the diapers, and 0 a piece for the inserts. Just let mme know1

sociologygeek - wow thank you! Yes I have considered them its the initial cost. I usually just cant afford to pay it up front. I wear a size 44 (a large in disposables). That may be too big for what you've got though.

I briefly wore one diaper with 3 inserts and it fit just fine. So, i will wash the one I wore. Let me know if youre interested. Do you do paypal? If not, you can send me a check. I will ship after I recieve payment. Do you want all the inserts I have?
Sorry I misqouted the price for inserts. on the site they are selling them for 8. per insert. I will let them go for 5. So, if you wanted all 12 of my diapers at 15 per diaper comes to 180. Thats much less than what i paid for tehm. I paid 270. its another 80 for the inserts. 16 inserts times 5 comes to 80. But Ill tell you what! If you want to buy all the diapers and all the inserts.. Ill sell them to you at a flat 200 (plus shipping..i cant afford to ship for free). Thats a 40 dollar savings. Think about it and let me know. That offer stands to anyone else in this group as well.

Justej,
Have you tried Betterdry? They are actually more absorbent than Confidry. Do you shop at XP Medical? I recommend them over nortshore Care.. Better prices and free shipping.

95 dollars for size large case of 60. Not bad. Gives Confidry a run for the money. Confidry is 118 for a case of 72 in size large.
