Yes, it is hard to believe. But for diaper companies it wouldn't be profitable because we have the NHS (National Health Service). Which means if you need them, you get them perscribed by a doctor. So the people who need the diapers get them. For you they are, but you don't get free medical treatment, do you? It's all privatised, isn't it? Ours is a state service, and as a knock on effect, most medical needs a catered for within that service. Some shops occasionally have them, but very rarely, and even more rarely that they come as tape ones. Just because you can do something in your country, doesn't mean we can in ours. If you can't find a medical supplies depot or a specialist pharmacy in your area, then it is practically impossible to find anything. You have to remember that different countries have different methods of doing things to yours. I don't say learn everything about other countries (that's impossible) but if something comes across as weird in another country, and other members from that country confirm it, there is probably a reason somewhere why that country is different to yours, as opposed to them just being wrong.
