welp, this is exactly as the title suggests. how often do you wear diapers and how many diapers do you buy at one time?

i wear 24/7 due to ic and i usually buy a case (80 diapers) per month. its much more cost effective to buy them in bulk so that seems most reasonable to me.

i see a lot of variance in this here, some people have insane stashes that look to be 4 cases at a time, whereas some only buy samples and keep them hidden. i thought it would be interesting to hear from everybody on this

I usually buy 2 cases from Northshore at a time. Usually when they are having a sale and/or I have a discount code. 2 cases lasts me a long time but it gets the total high enough for free shipping and takes advantage of the sale or discount.

I’m IC and wear 24/7 and I buy a case of more every three weeks. I try to not have less then 75 on hand at anyone time. Shipping these days can be rough and I can’t run out.

My last order of Mega-Max was 6 cases, my wife yesterday picked up 3 cases of my pull-ups that i use during the day , We have plenty of space to keep them stored.

I buy two cases a month. Usually about once a year I buy an extra order of two cases. Just so I have a surplus and dont have to worry about running low on my day time diapers between orders.

More than I need, but less than I'd like.

I have a bit of a backlog to go through, but then a new design comes out, or there's a sale on a style I haven't tried yet. The cheaper item cost of bulk buying is what gets me, lol

Usually as needed, whether a case or a package. So I guess I buy about 30 a month, just enough to keep me sleeping cozy at night. ❤️

I’d say a case of 80 at least once every quarter. I wear by choice and don’t wear all the time, so a case usually lasts me a few months.

I'm coming back to the idea of "wearing more often" and have actually been keeping records of how many diapers I'm going through to better gauge how often I should be buying. I recently purchased 2 cases of Abena L4s and a case from Northshore. I am thinking that will last me 3 months, but I'm not totally sure yet.

If you wear 24/7, how do you stretch out 80 diapers to last an entire month? That's not quite 3 per day...

Depending on the absorbency level I am ordering, I buy 56 to 80 at a time; one case in both instances. I find it works well for me by not taking up to much space in my bedroom.

That case lasts me around two months. I always reorder when I am down to the last two week's briefs. I only need them to manage night time so this works well.

I do have an opened pack of backups just in case there is an issue with my order and it has come in handy one time when I received defective briefs.

I buy a case at a time which is 72 pull ups. Because I split my time between diapers and panties, I order about every 7 - 8 weeks. Before I started wearing panties, I was 24/7 in diapers and I used 2 different diapers which meant when I ordered a case of each. That was 152 diapers which lasted about 9 - 10 weeks.
 
Usually, I get a case due to lower cost and sometime free shipping due to meeting the minimum cost for free shipping.
 
My orders vary in size from a sample pack of two ABDL nappies, up to a single order of 80 forma-care medical nappies.

sometimes i use more and sometimes i use less, most often i am using only 2 diapers a day as i am only urinary incontinent and one premium diaper lasts me pretty much all day. it also helps that being ic my voids are small and frequent instead of big floods. i also get a couple more here and there so i always have a variety + extra diapers just in case. hope this helps :)

I’ve started ordering a case of Abena M4s every month for my current habit of wearing all day at work (from home) and most nights. I like to hydrate and leak freely, especially during boring, pointless meetings. In fact, a diaper check is a standard part of my premeeting checklist. So is keeping my camera covered.

It makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only person that practices this.
