I know this post is a bit old but GreenJello just sent me your way... Apparently we're on the same wavelenght since we went through the same Diaper Doubler shortage over at my place. We ended up using maxi pads and they're still getting us through the night. Good luck with your super soaker! Caseys last blog post..You Know You’re Getting Old When

I have no real suggestions (which makes me worthless to you), but welcome to a life-long struggle with embarrassin' shopping. The other day one of my old "clubbing friends" texted me, "What are you doing?" I replied, "buying pull-ups for the kindergartener & meds for her bladder infection." He never answered me back.

The question is will you bring this up when he brings girls home for dates in the future. Stopping by via Blog to Fit. Funny stuff. White Hot Magiks last blog post..Getting Back in the Saddle Again

It's a little unconventional, to be sure, but a creative solution nonetheless. Or you could just not give him anything to drink after dinner.... Kool Aids last blog post..Patterns

That is too funny! But I say, hey, if it works, why not? I let my daughter play with pantyliners for about two hours last week. She had them stuck all over herself. Those pictures are going to come in handy someday, as will your story about your son using pads! Petras last blog post..He Blogs, She Blogs: Farts, Sex and Boobs--Oh My!

Washable flannel inserts work just as well, actually. They're not difficult to make. And pads are also good to put in your first aid kit-- they are masterful for stopping heavy bleeding. You can put a lot of pressure on something with one, and they don't "stick" to the wound. GreenJellos last blog post..Conversation

I would vote with Tara here, don’t tell your son ever…ever….
I have never heard of diaper doublers and I had to use cloth diapers because the new disposables were not affordable to the average parent..I just used extra flannel pads we made and put inside the diaper, then changed the sheets in the morning along with changing clothing…wow

I will say that my kiddos potty trained fast with the cloth diapers vs the disposable… Kiddo #3 was in disposable until 6 as she had such low muscle tone …and other problems….wow My best suggestion would be to look under handicapped supplies or senior citizen stuff…I know when my mum was in the hospital they used extra padding which came in bulk and were not that expensive and for men and women….

Isn’t it awful when you begin to count on something and it disappears..
That has happened so many times in my life…aargh

Good post

Matthew- haha – no wings.

Dave – We actually tried the other method, spent a good amount of money on the cloth diapers, but they didn’t work for us. Believe me, I don’t ENJOY paying a zillion dollars per year on disposable diapers.

Tara – Tell him? I’m going to take photos for blackmail purposes!

Buy the big ol’ maxi-pads. You know, the ones that look like pillows. Take your last empty sack of doublers. Put the pads in and throw away the incriminating evidence. Repeat as necessary. The world will never know.

My mother in law still thinks I buy name-brand Crisco…..
