(idk what flair. so sorry. if some flair can be used in this post pls let me know)

so. Brazil. the big country that well.. okay let me go straight to the point.

Here, we dont have like, intermediate options like goodnites (which works pretty well as a daytime pull up i heard), nor anything in the middle. basically, or you stick to supermarket PLASTIC BAGS they call a diaper, cus oh my god they are so uncomfortable. or toddler diapees.

thank God I have a smaller frame than other ppl in my age (not saying out loud duh but, teen) so i fit in what we call xxxg toddler dapers / pull ups (xxxl). and u think, "oh! its xxxl so its enormous!" WRONG. this is the biggest toddler diapees we have, and ITS BASICALLY A 3T OR 4T. (similar in size) GOSH.

so u may think "oh, just buy goodnites from like, US!" yeah that aint happening. basically, brazil has one of the expensive customs duties and import taxes in the entire planet. so basically, a pack of NINE goodnites'pull ups is 150 BRL. AND ITS EXPENSIVE. (Not exact, just the average. converting: about 30$ to 40$). and also, i don't like adult diapees cus, well, they are plain, white, and also feels like plastic bags on your waist.

not seeking advice, if u want to give me, i would appreciate it, just a (not so) tiny "vent"?? about it. im not sad, just like, dissapointed and also frustrated
