Hi Will, I answered one of your posts before about your sister and her friends. I also saw your dad's post later about you and your brother Brad, so I might understand a little about your situation. Both you and your dad say that diapers are expensive and I agree, especially if your dad has to buy them for two of you. The best suggestion I can offer to save money is cloth diapers and plastic pants. Sure they cost a lot of money up front, but cloth diapers are less expensive than disposables over the long term. If your brother is 17 and still wets the bed, then you might wet a few more years before you stop. If you and Brad are close to the same size, you can probably share the same supply of diapers. There are lots of online suppliers of cloth diapers and some of them give a discount for buying in quantity, usually six or more at one time. A dozen cloth diapers and a few pairs of plastic pants would probably be enough to get started for both of you, if necessary you can get more later. Ask your dad to look into it. I use cloth myself every night when at home and only use disposables when away from home overnight. I know they are better than disposables both in cost and fewer leaks.
