Since I don't have a paypal or a PO box big enough for large packages, let's talk about the merits of buying diapers in person.
Medical Supply Stores
<Pros
>Often stock good quality brands
>generally reasonable prices (9$-15$ a pack, occasionally more for really high end brands)
>Few people come in and out, you're unlikely to be seen by peers
>most staff take their job seriously enough to not judge
>good brand variety
>if you visit regularly and explain you're "caring for an elder," they'll be sympathetic and not judge
>Almost always stock proper briefs. Likely to stock plastic backed
<Cons
>Staff is often senile and take forever to check you out, which is awkward sometimes
>Staff tend to gravitate between (most of the time) excessively helpful "who are you buying these for? What is their waist size?" and (occasionally) grumpy misers who can't into customer service
>Some stores specialize in other medical goods and stock a low variety (this is uncommon)
>Few locations
I generally like these stores since they're private, cheap, have good brands, and mostly have good staff, but I've run into a couple of bad ones.
=Ma&Pa Pharmacies==
<Pros
>Generally good brands and decent variety
>Staff is personable
>Lower traffic than major pharmacies, is fairly private except late afternoon
>Usually stock briefs, often plastic backed
<Cons
>Tend to be a bit pricier, but not too bad
>More likely to be seen by peers than medical stores
>Few locations
They're similar to medical supply stores in terms of good service, but they're slightly less private
Thrift Stores
<Pros
>Dirt cheap
>Staff are often charitable, understanding types
>dirt cheap
>Plentiful locations
>dirt cheap
>Did I say dirt cheap? 5 dollars for any pack
<Cons
>some chains, especially Good Will, are crowded and attract normies, especially fashion conscious stacies
>Inconsistent supply, are often out of stock
>tend to stock lower end diapers, probably the surplus of deceased elders
Thrift stores fall into one of two castes
>Charity oriented thrift stores with low traffic and a variety of good. These often stock diapers (Think Salvation Army)
>Fashion oriented thrift stores that are full of people and stock mostly clothes (Think Good Will)
Franchise Pharmacies
<Pros
>Many locations
>Usually stock a decent "store brand" of tape up briefs for a decent price
>Also carry powder, oil, cream, pacifiers, and bottles (I wouldn't buy these and diapers in the same purchase)
>Carry goodnites if you're a pullupfag
>carry booze
<Cons
>Generally crowed
>Low brand variety; 90% of it is over priced depends
>most of said depends are "underwear style"
>only plastic backed are depends protection with tabs, which are over priced and suck
>chad and stacy cashiers
Big box stores and grociers
<Pros
>nothing
<cons
>19.99$ for depends underwear styles. The only thing they carry most of the time
>everyone in town sees what you're buying
