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.

I'm sorry I was unaware, also I believe I did state in my post that It wasn't meant to offend anyone and I most certainly did not say he was "wrong" also...

"Just because you can do something in your country, doesn't mean we can in ours."

"You have to remember that different countries have different methods of doing things to yours."

Don't point out the obvious that makes you sound ignorant and is always very annoying to me personally I'm not sure about everyone else though. I know however you are not ignorant or annoying but others may not know this.
When responding to someones justified curiosity please try and be a bit more positive towards said curiosity. I was unaware of your health care differences and merely saying it was hard to believe that adult diapers were not provided, and in terms they still are. So forgive my natural human desire to learn and try and be a bit nicer when answering someones questions next time as to not sound ignorant and annoying. I would greatly appreciate not being demeaned. Thank you.

Sorry for my apparently stupid comments, although they are true...God forbid I'm honest...I don't see why it's all you can get...Unless you are stealing them from a sibling, you can get other diapers...They are in the same store as adult ones (usually), and they are only in a different section...You can easily get adult ones, so it's not a matter that you can't get them, it's a matter that you won't get them

And you know all our situations do you? No, you don't. I only have access to a big store (tesco), They only do baby one's, pull ups etc. Not adult. So, yet again you are incorrect. Yet another stupid comment saying we can get them, but we won't....so just stop assuming our situations are the same as yours. Ok?

Listen, folks, calm down! There's an ocean between you two, so stop trying to assume to know what it's like in the other part of the world unless you've been there yourself and have seen it with your own eyes.
Let me demonstrate my point:


I would strongly advice that everyone take a look at the other people's location and keep it in mind before arguing about where you can and cannot get diapers (or any other topic of discussion). Also familiarize yourself with the circumstances of the other country's political and social system before throwing out any comments. Too much of what we think we know about other countries is hearsay or pure stereotyping. Not every American drives a gas guzzling SUV, and not every Brit has ever had tea with the Queen.
So y'all come off your soap box and let people figure out for themselves how and where to get diapers, or encourage people to ask specific questions when seeking information from other members (i.e. not "Where can I get diapers?" but "Where can I get diapers in [country/region/city]?")

P.S.: Pojo - there's no cash-market for adult diapers in Europe. The diapers are provided and paid for by the country's health service or medical insurance system, so they are usually given out through specialized outlets (e.g. medical supply stores). In most countries in Europe, you can't just pop into a store, grab a package off the shelf and pay in cash without ever saying a word. In most cases, you'd be having a hard time to even locate an outlet for adult diapers, have to go in and ask in person and will then have to answer questions why you wish to pay in cash rather than through medical insurance/health system. Would you be prepared to go through that kind of effort for adult diapers?

he's right...again lol

[Mr Alex]

Europeans and your wrong side of the road driving. Good thing we rebelled.

Anyhow, keep stealing, do it for the rush until you can figure out how to get diapers, that are actually good. Or until you figure out an elaborate way to order from the US, which is odd because it used to be all the good diapers had to be ordered from he UK.

IE Mail Box (Private) Or the European equivalent of Fed Ex Kinkos or a UPS store (might be the same, I could be ignorant :P) order, have it sent to those and hide it well.

Edit: SPAM? I told him exactly how to get diapers in the future. Do you think that I really care that you drive on the wrong side of the road? I could have said, you drive on the left side therefore you are ****tards and should be eliminated from existence. I chose not to do that.

The plan I listed Tommy, if you are not the person who disagrees with me, is just about 100% foolproof, reguardless of where you live. Just pay for them with a Prepaid Card, if you can't get those where you live, bank up. If you can't drive, get a friend who can, and who doesn't care what you order online.

Stop saying my comments are stupid...Sorry I don't pay attention to where you live, but you still have access to adult diapers...So you still can get them, even if it's harder...So I can assume all that I want, and I never said it the same as my situation...God you're pissing the crap out of me

Only people on the British Isles drive on the wrong side of the road! The rest of Europe drives on the right/correct side of the road!
