Free Diapers

Emily2me · April 2011

I signed up to do diaper studies through P&G, but was declined because apparently my husband's place of employment is a conflict of interest.

If you participate in the diaper studies, you get a free box of diapers each time you do the study. I have a friend who has never paid for diapers because she always participates.

Some of this involves freezing diapers, doing surveys, etc.

If anyone wants the info, leave your email address and I will gladly forward it to you!

Interesting that your husband's employer is a conflict of interest - I guess we wouldn't qualify either. Boo

I know! I have no idea how the financial industry would have anything to do with diapers! I just got the letter today, I was bummed.

I hate that our line of work is considered a conflict of interest for most market research. BOO!

It is due to the fact that when you are participating in a survey and/or study, you are privied to insider knowledge of a company. The company is most likely testing a new product/service that has yet to see the market shelves. If you as a participant see that this product will bring market share or increase revenues/stocks for said company, you could then begin to move stocks around to invest in said company and make a profit off of it. Essentially you are buying stocks at a low price before they shoot up from a new product launch.

Also, spouses are denied due to the fact that you can easily share this information through a basic conversation that could begin to turn the wheels of the spouse who works in the financial industry.

Make sense?

Definitely makes sense. I just don't see how that's any different from anyone who invests their money, whether or not they are in the industry.

Bummer! I signed up to do diaper studies, but DH works at 5/3rd so I doubt we'll be doing any.

Can you forward me the info? My email address is tb583 at hotmail dot com. Thanks!

I've done a ton of diaper studies for P&G and have never gotten a free box of diapers.

So you paid for the diapers that you tested? That doesnt sound right... we are doing a study right now and all the diapers we are testing have been free... ie. the free diaper title of this post...

I have heard about these diaper studies from one of the moms from my play date group. She said the ones you do there pay $75-$100 and are easy. Anyone else have positive or negative experiences from these?
