I’m totally frustrated with everything right now, on top of this whole corona virus thing and not being able to find certain things in stores. My recent order of Sposie booster pads from Amazon was shipped in the original bright and colorful package, that had a very clear description of what they were (The toddler sized booster pads are the perfect size to place across the front of the diaper to prevent leaks, that’s why I use them) And to make matters worse, they were shipped to my moms house, and my little brother saw them. For the longest time only my mom had known about my situation, but now I guess more of the family knows. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, I’m just so frustrated with everything and I wish that I didn’t have to deal with this anymore.

The ability to vent is one of things I like about this site. This brought back the memory of getting depends flex fit from the VA. the box is shipped with all marking still there. The UPS driver misread the address and delivered them to my neighbors house. Did I mention I work in the same area as him? Nothing was said, they were out of town, but his niece had called him and asked what to do with it before I got the text from him. After that text, I had wished it had been porch pirates instead.

Tallandbald, the next time you order from Amazon, pay close attention to where the product is being shipped from. If shipped directly from an Amazon warehouse, Amazon will put the original box inside another cardboard box that always is discreet. However, if it is being shipped directly from a supplier, there is no guarantee. :(

Unfortunately I was in such a hurry to buy extra for this whole virus thing, that I neglected to look at that, lesson learned I guess.

I have stopped ordering from Amazon. They will not hire someone of my age, so they have lost much of my business.

I actually do buy most of my supplies from NorthShore, but for some reason I was under the impression that their smallest booster was a size small , which is too long to be placed across the front of the diapers that I use. Although I did just re check their website, and they do indeed have one that is smaller, I guess that I’ll be ordering those in the future.

I've used the extra small Northshore boosters with great success. The best thing about them is they are small enough to fit between the leak guards of even inexpensive diapers.

Let me second what Padded said about NorthShore small booster pads.

Select your booster sizes carefully. If you purchase a booster that is too long, the rear of the booster may not be used and that absorbency is wasted.
