Does anyone else experience anxiety when they are down to their last package?

In general, if I can visually count how many diapers I have left without any math, I start having mild panic attacks that can only be stopped by making a purchase.

…either I just identified that I have an addiction… or I need to get start a diaper company.

Well I try not to let it get down to that point. I generally have a couple of cases worth of diapers on hand since I wear all the time.

When I’m in a wearing binge I buy cases and cases off nappies, The thinking around this is that I’m going to wear 24/7 but end up not wearing as I’ve gone into a purge. So I always have cases. I currently have 4 cases of BetterDry

Not quite anxiety, but I do like to keep a reasonable supply on hand.

Yeah, I get nervous as I wear anymore for medical needs, so when my supply drops I worry if I’ll make it through the night without needing to do laundry the next day, and with the pandemic it’s a mix of “are my brands actually in stock” with “ok, if I get this, it’ll probably kill me, but how many diapers would I need in reserve to make it through the XYZ months of misery”? I’ll be restocking come the first of the month just so I have a decent reserve

Lol, being 24/7 means cases, not bags… And I’d be getting pretty anxious if it ever got down to one case… However, for a very long time it hasn’t been an issue since my supply is diversified with three or four primary diaper brand /styles. If any one gets down to a case or less, I’m more likely than not to place an order immediately so I don’t have a chance of running out of the style that I enjoy wearing.

No .. I just get more

I was down to 5 diapers left and could feel my anxiety, the next day a pack of 28 arrived, then following day 8 samples, nicely stocked up again for a while, much more content

I usually always have at least 3/4 of a case. Don’t want to end up in a situation where I have to do extra laundry. Plus I don’t want to have a wet spot on my pants at work.

I get anxiety when I’m down to the last couple cases :joy:

I wear 2 brands of diapers. I order a case of each at a time. One brand is 80 to a case and the other is 72 diapers/case. I come nowhere near running out when I re-order. If ever I did run extremely low, I probably would get a bit anxious as I do want them on hand.

A few years ago I was into wearing the Attends waistband diapers. They arent everyones favorite I know, but I liked that they were all white and very crinkly, also inexpensive. So I would always order 2 bundles every few months or so from the local pharmacy. It was great because I could just go there pick them up and bring them home. I was avoiding having them shipped home because the household is very busy and lots of packages end up getting opened before I get to them…So anyway I lapsed getting a new bundle ordered and I remember feeling a little worried when i was getting down to the last bunch. I kept putting off ordering and I shouldnt have. I got to the pharmacy finally and the person in charge of orders told me they stopped making the Attends waistband at that point. So I was out of luck and shouldve heeded the anxiety earlier and ordered before they were gone. So the days of wearing those are over. I wont spend insane prices on Ebay for discontinued diapers, good lord some are selling like a two sample packs for like almost 100 dollars!! I miss those diapers but not that desperate…

I would be in big trouble if my stock of diapers got so low. I would have to go out and buy cheap diapers at the stores or something until I can get good ones back in. Because I have no choice and have to wear 24/7 I am always buying up some medium to cheaper diapers at thrift stores so that I can use them at home and or double/triple diaper to help save on my good diapers.

There are times that I have plenty of diapers and I have to stop myself from buying any extra diapers but if the price is right, and my wife is with me and she knows I am pondering it, she will tell me to go ahead and get them, better safe than sorry.

No but if I get low I just order another case from NorthShore. They ship fast and I’m happy to open that box to restock my closet shelf.

Yes!

When my supply of diapers gets bellow 200 diapers I start to worry if I will have enough to get me through to the first of the next month.

I have 100 days worth right now. I order when I have ten to go. Works out just fine for me.

anxiety starts to go away after you have a few hundred packs :wink:
