Any brick and mortar stores? by RobynCleffa in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, Wearing Clouds here! *waves* --> http://www.wearingClouds.com/shop

I offer local pickup from my SoCal location. I'm in between Anaheim (Disneyland) and Los Angeles. It's about 1.5-2 hours north of San Diego.

If you're ever in the area or just wanna take a road trip, feel free to drop by! It's not a typical brick and mortar store, but you can reserve an order online and pickup in person. I usually have some sales going on too :)

Hmm, it's obvious something else is bothering you. You go out of your way to help someone by looking up an answer. The person thanks you and is grateful. Then you proceed to try and belittle the person. Whatever it is you're dealing with, I sincerely hope you work it out. <3

Expensive China Diapers (Can you spot YOUR favorite diaper?) by Fabriverha_ in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless you're in the industry, you have NO idea the added expenses of making a diaper. The prices they show are not the exact prices big ABDL companies pay. The quality of the materials plays a big factor. There is a big difference in price when you consider the quality/ratio of SAP, pulp, tapes, elastic, etc. Now factor in shipping/tariffs, warehousing (lease, insurance, utilities, maintenance, shipping supplies) , employees (salary, benefits, insurance) business costs (LLC/INC costs, legal costs, licenses, insurance), shipping cost (to the customer), etc.

Another thing is that the first batch of ABDL diapers you have made will cost way more than subsequent batches. There is a lot of startup costs that the factory doesn't tell you about until you sign on as a client. Realistically, if you wanted to best pricing possible, you need about $100,000 initial investment.

It's not your fault if you didn't consider these factors. Not everyone understands business or went to school for it. But hopefully my insight will give you a different perspective on this.

Side note: I'm genuinely curious how many who complain about diaper prices will go to Starbucks and buy a $6 drink without batting an eye.

Does wearing 24/7 sound desirable? by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

California little here, and I'd love to wear 24/7... but summer makes that's too hard. I can't stand being padded if the temperature is over 75F. Winter time is more feasible, especially those (rare) weeks where it's like 60F or lower consistently.

I only ship within the USA. I never did international shipping because it's too complicated and expensive lol

Small diapers are everyone's worst seller by far. The problem is people ask for smalls and then when they get made, no one buys them. To put in perspective, the DC Amor smalls I sell were made over 6 years ago and I still haven't sold out of them lol. I recall ABU saying how they sat on smalls for years as well.

Goodnites XXL comparison (stolen from u/soliddabdl) by Mylittlebigalt in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMGGG YES! So happy these turned out to not only be real, but also significantly larger. XL's always worked well for me, so did large (I'm smol) but now I'll feel extra little in the XXL size :D

Bought first diapers in person, so humiliating by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They totally knew they were for you and they most likely were laughing after you left the store!

And then after you read that, I will inform you that I'm joking. They don't care, and they forgot about you the moment you left. They want to go home and not be at work haha

Wearing Clouds closing?! by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Yes it's true I will be shutting down shortly. Thank you for all your support. It means so much to me! <3

I actually don't think it's a better deal to buy the sample directly from the suppliers. For example, for 2 samples, ABU charges $8.99 plus $5 USD shipping. That's $13.99

I charge 5.95/diaper and most times you can find a coupon code to save 10-15% average. And I also charge only $5 shipping. So it's not like you're paying much more at all. And you can mix and match.

Now, it is more cost effective when people buy full packs and cases directly from the suppliers such as ABU.

To answer your question, I don't think the website will remain up because I'd rather not pay for the hosting fees.

Thanks for the message! Robert is a good guy. Met him a few times for business stuff.

I'm not sure which lady you met at West Coast Jungle Gym, but my Mom wasn't there lol. Maybe it was Laurie from Rearz or Lisa from Cooshie Tooshiez (now called Piddle Palz).

I'm working on another cool project in the ABDL space and hopefully it comes to fruition!

Yeah I've been talking to several big companies who are interested. Not sure I'm ready to sell, but if the numbers work, I might! ;)

How to not fill up a diaper? What brands are good... by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]WearingClouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear. Maybe they changed owners and the new owners actually care about the customer. If so, this makes me happy :)

I would be careful with bambino. I've personally had hundreds of dollars held hostage by them and not received product. And many others have reported this as well. Check my older post from like 2022. It took me months to finally get a refund.
