The only time I've ever bought diapers myself was when I was on the way to my college campus for the first time on my own, where I would stay in a hotel for an evening before going to a pre-school year event (this was about 2-3 weeks ago). I used my iPhone GPS to locate a CVS pharmacy in a town on the way and stopped there both to buy diapers and get some fast food at a nearby McDonald's. I go in, look at sizes, blush furiously, and read the fine print on the package until my cheeks felt not so red, then checked on my blushing status in the sunglasses display before heading to the counter with my gigantic package of adult diapers in just my size. I get in line behind this woman who's ringing up a bunch of items (at the only register) and begin to wait. The woman of COURSE has problems with her items, price disagreements, coupons she can't find, etc... and leaves her transaction incomplete as she wanders back into the store, looking for a price tag to check whether her random item costs $7.99 or $6.99. The cashier looks at me apologetically and says "I'm sorry, I can't ring you up until she's finished." I say that's fine, and wait.
Then, three very attractive girls about my age walk up to me (still holding my package of diapers) and ask "Is this the line?" I nod, noticing that they're examining my package closely. They also looked at the pack of diapers. :P (Just kidding about that last one.)
Eventually, the woman returns, rings her stuff up, and I buy the diapers and toss the receipt into the nearest trash can, then get into my car. My heart is beating a mile a minute here as I tear open the package and pull one out. It's awesome even to hold, especially after a long period of diaper deprivation. I kept that diaper within arm's reach for the rest of the trip (about an hour once I left the CVS) and I occasionally reached over to feel it.
I got to the hotel, checked in, carried about seven diapers into the room in my clothes bag, and began an awesome night full of incredible diapered fun.
