Akastus said:Ordered a pack. Looks like £1.80 per nappy if you order by the case, £1.50 if you claim the VAT exemption. Though I'm surprised that they offer than on what they know is a product targeted at the fetish market.
I wonder if this will be the price going forward, or if they're just gouging early adopters?
Honeywell6180 said:I spoke with a Strom Holdings representative, and he made it VERY CLEAR to me that ABUniverse is NOT targeting the fetish market. ABUniverse is simply using a unique marketing approach to present their offerings to the public. Their primary market is to the AB/DL community. However, that is starting to change as more people with disabilities start taking advantage of what they have available.
Akastus said:Sorry, but that does seem a bit disingenuous. ABUs market to date has almost exclusively been ABDL, and they've just released a product that is designed to appeal to ABDLs. How is that not targeting the fetish market? The fact that they're hoping that ICs may buy it as well doesn't change the fact that, at least for now, it's primarily a fetish product. Or do you not classify the ABDL community as a part of the fetish community?
In any case, what I was referring to was the likelihood that HMRC will be more inclined to take a close look at people claiming VAT exemption on what THEY perceive is primarily a fetish product. Tykables don't offer VAT exemption, for example.
Honeywell6180 said:They may be "fetish", but people are buying them with flexible spending accounts. Why? Because the drug store and "legitimate" online products such as the Wellness "superio" are TRASH. GARBAGE. They sell, because nursing homes are cheap and don't care about the comfort of their patients. And those who buy the junky Depend "pull-ups" are either ignorant, or so broken hearted that they view the purchase of incontinence products the same way a love one feels when they have to buy a casket for a loved one at a funeral home. I'm sorry. I would rather buy the Space diaper, than a widow garment.
Akastus said:Perfectly understandable. The test is going to be how well the plain white version of the Space sells. The problem is that even if it is a superior product, there are still going to people who are extremely uncomfortable buying from a company that is AB-oriented.
Out of interest, how much evidence do you have of ICs purchasing Space? Beyond the stated intentions of people on this board?

Akastus said:I'd be interested to know if sales had increased since they changed the name. I would imagine that many ICs would have been extremely uncomfortable buying a product named SEx.

INTrePid said:I'm a DL and would actually prefer a plain white version of the Space diaper. I love being able to see the change in color from white to yellow when I pee. It just doesn't have the same effect for me if the exterior of the diaper is a darker color and looks basically the same wet or dry.
bambinod said:that IS interesting, here in the USA we don't really have good access to the all-white stock comficare, but we have all these other highly patterend variations... something about that seems backward from the status quo?
