Went to store and got to embarrassed.

3 Replies

So I went to a local drugstore looked at the diapers and underwear, been thinking of buying them and trying them out. Unfortunately the guards are not always leak proof for me. How do I get over this embarrassment and just try them?

Get a sample through the mail! All the online retailers send them in plain brown boxes and so no one is the wiser. Try a couple of different companies and absorbencies as samples. It's the way to go! And it takes all the embarrassment out of shopping in a store.

I have some samples on the way! Thank you. I did also get the courage to purchase a package at the store to try. What a difference compared to using gaurds.

just buy them online and you won’t have to worry about that.
