I am opening up a diaper store

cristina1 · #1 10-16-2002, 12:12 PM

or at least, I could. Devon uses size 4 diapers in the day and size 5's at night. Zachary still needs a pull-up at night. And we just put Nicholas in a size 6! (OMG the kid is HUGE!) Size 5's barely were able to close - the tabs were right at the edge of the diaper causing massive leaks. I am running out of room to fit all the different sized diapers we use!

I thought you were going to give me tips on how to sell diapers.

I have in my kitchen three cases of Huggies size 6 - this has four packages of 32

I also have four cases of Huggies size 6 - these are eight packages of 18

I also have 9 cases (24 cans) of ensure plus

This was provided by Insurance for my son and they send three month supply at a time, actually I told them to wait on the next order.

In my cabinets I have three jumbo packages of huggies diapers size 6, and in my minivan two cases of Size Medium Huggies Goodnites.

I placed an ad in pennysaver listing the sizes and all my calls were for size 1, 2 and 3. I HAVE SIZE SIX.

I gave away a package of Goodnites and Huggies to a kid in my sons class.

I am trying to get Huggies natural care wipes paid for by insurance as well.

This also means that I have TONS of Huggies points in case anyone wants them to order when they have the next catalog out.

If you ever want to make a deal, we can find out how much it costs to ship a case from CA via UPS.

I have never had good luck with huggies diapers. I love their wipes, and they have wonderful pull-ups, but their diapers always leaked all over the place. Doesnt matter if I tried supremes, the ultratrim, the ones specifically for boys - the kids would wake up soaked.

I

huggie points. I used all the ones from Nicholas' first year or so to get him the Stargazer set. It's great - a tent, a sleeping bag, a bean bag, and some glow-in-the-dark star stickers.

I just went to the huggies site to see if I could find a picture of the tent, but instead I found a notice that the program has ended

Offer Ended
But all the packages still have the huggies points on them.

After I picked up Nicholas from the daycare last week I had to change his diaper. It was a very small diaper

I figured out that they had put Julia's size three on his size six bottom

Ms. Diaper Store Owner,

Got any good suggestions for a 190 pound kid?

magenta321 · #7 10-16-2002, 09:27 PM

Does this kid have a curly tail?

**slick4591**[$] · #8 10-16-2002, 09:28 PM

Nope. Just a tail.

magenta321 · #9 10-16-2002, 09:33 PM

A black, bristly tail?

**slick4591**[$] · #10 10-16-2002, 09:40 PM

Smooth, non-hairy.

Well, if my kid keeps growing the way he is, we are going to have to use depends

Maybe that would work. Of course, you would have to cut out a spot for the tail.

I still save the Huggies though because over the last seven years they always have had some form of catalog, unless it is never coming back?

I always wanted to get the bathrobes for my kids but never did. Hopefully they might have something start November 1. Lets keep our fingers crossed. I use the wipes too and can go through all my boxes to cut points!

Silly question Bonnie

If you have too many diapers -- why not tell insurance you don't need that many.

I'm sure they'd be glad to save a dollar or two and give you back storage space

bonniesayers · #14 10-17-2002, 12:45 AM

I had to figure out how many diapers my son uses a day and then the Dr wrote a prescription for so many cases a month. But I had no idea that Insurance and the pharmacy send these out three months at a time.

Then the State agency that used to pay for them rolled it over accidentally this past summer and sent two months worth, now have it cancelled, so I got too many in one months time.

The gal at the pharmacy told me to donate some packages if I had too many since it had been paid for already.

That is why I told her to hold off on this next order.

ROFL, I thought you were going to announce that you were going to start making and selling your own cloth diapers!

Yeah, I'm sick of buying diapers. I was using cloth for awhile but gave up under duress from the hubby. I'm sick of buying diapers for my 3.5 year old, and I told her I'm not buying anymore after this pack runs out. If I ever get my @#@$#$%% washing machine fixed, I might actually go back to cloth.
