Lets start back at the beggining. I've almost used up my Tenas, and wanted a good daytime diaper, something I could wear around the house that I could take on and off, but still wet if I needed too and won't feel bad about using up. I raided my coupons and found a 5$ off Kimberly Clarke Products coupon and went to the store, I'd bought diapers at this CVS before, and wasn't really worried about anything. Now that I'm an adult I get less embarrassed about buying diapers that would fit a teen, like goodnites, and more about buying Depends and Enemas and stuff.
So I was standing in the diaper aisle, I reached for the bright pink package that I always get, the one with the little girl on the cover and the cute pink designs... and I stopped. I realized I still have boyparts, and that maybe I should get the boys ones, if my overall goal is absorbency and staying diapered then I must concede. The boys ones have "custom abosrbancy" for boys, or as it doesn't mention on the label, girls with penises. The designs on the goodnites are lame, I used to like the boys underjams because they had turntables on them, and that's cool, turntables are cool, so naturally I'd like anything that has a turntable on it. I also wet one today, sitting down which is usually leaky diaper time for me, I kinda forgot what I was wearing, but it stayed, and I wet it one more time before I decided it was time for a change.
So regardless of if they're cute or not, they work, but it was kinda strange buying them. The interaction at the register, silent other than usual transaction stuff, I felt as if I was actually buying diapers as if I needed them, a very internal feeling, the rare embarrassment that comes from within, not from anyone else's eyes or motions, but from ones own realization. Deep stuff we're dealing with here, I guess it's all part of being 24/7, as my Christian friend says "revelations come when you least expect them".
More stuff soon, I'm talking to a guy on craigslist thats supposed to sell me some diapers tomorrow, Prevail something, they're what I wouldn't call a "good" diaper, but I'm getting alot of them for a good price, and I need lots and lots of good fitting, absorbent diapers, more than I need expensive, comfy or cute ones.
You can't always get what you want...

Well actually it's been reported that the girl Goodnites are more absorbent than the boy's for those that have gone through puberty.
ReplyDeleteSo you might want to compare for yourself and see if the female version does work for you.
I've done years (maybe a decade now) of research on various goodnites, and as far as I can see these boys ones are holding up good. I always wondered with the Wetting zone how true all that is, but on Pampers website they mention how Girls can wear Boys UnderJams, but not the other way around. Interesting stuff, i guess only time and lots of wettings will tell :)
