    Diapers

    Diapers are a BIG part of our life. They always have been and always will be. This is the case for many children with special needs. In many states (in the US) diapers can be purchased through Medicaid or other state funding if prescribed by a doctor. Right now we get Pampers sz 6 for daytime and Goodnights for nighttime. Jake is almost too big for sz 6, so I purchased a sample pack of youth briefs (diapers) through HDIS. You get 20 diapers for around $10.  Click on the thumbnails and see a comparison with a Pamper Babydry size 6. ***(This page is several years old and MAY not be accurate. O have no way of knowing if any of these manufacturers have changed their products. Also, Pampers now has a size 7 diaper!!)
