Mall: The mall is a place I visit often – I am a shopaholic.  I have probably mastered changing at the mall.  If I am by myself then I just go into a stall in one of the women’s public restrooms and change my diaper there.  I just lean myself up against the stall wall for support as I pull the adult diaper up between my legs to change.  Nothing fancy but I have probably mastered it so I can take off my wet diaper and change into a fresh one in probably under 3 minutes which to me is pretty good.  If my diaper happens to be messy – well that is a more time consuming process where I have to break out my disposable wipes I carry with me in my purse.  There really is no easy way to do it – I just sort of prop myself up against the wall or maneuver myself on the toilet and clean myself…graphic I know.  Some nice malls have stalls where they are completely enclosed, meaning you can technically lay on the floor and nobody would know…if that is the case, bring a changing pad to lay on and then you can lay on the changing pad on the floor and change yourself.  A lot easier if this is an option but it rarely is the case.

Park: I am a big outdoor type person so I love going to parks.  Sometimes I actually sunbathe like I am on a beach in just a diaper and bikini top but that is usually only if I can find a semi-private area.  The lure of sunbathing in a park in just a diaper is not as “appropriate” in my mind as it can be in a beach setting.  But, anyways when I need to change in a place like a park it really depends on the park I am at.  Some parks are really private and I will actually either change my diaper right there on my picnic blanket or towel or if Peter is there then he will do it for me.  If its not that private then typically I try to find the park restrooms and just change my diaper there.  I have to make sure I always bring my supplies because I always like to be prepared for the worst you could say…which believe me, it happens.

On The Road: I do like to travel when I get a chance which entails having my diaper changed in the car a lot of times on the side of the road.  Usually, if I am just wet then we try to make it to store or something like that but I will say that when I poop my diaper then neither I or Peter can really bare it too long so Peter ends up changing me on the side of the road in the car.  I don’t mind it too much, just make sure you have a blanket/towel/changing pad if you don’t want to get your seats messy.

Rest Stop: Rest stops can be a great place to change an adult diaper especially if you have someone that will change it for you.  Many rest stops have family restrooms in which you can go into and have someone help you change your diaper.  Peter and I usually go in there together and change our diapers if they have a family restroom with private sections in them.  This is probably the easiest way.  Some rest stops have private areas that you can go off to where nobody is around, look for these, and you can change your diaper there if you do not want to deal with a large crowd in the restrooms for some reason.  Some rest stops can get busy so sometimes we opt to find a private area around the rest stop and change our diapers.

Beach: Changing an adult’s diaper on the beach is very similar to the park.  Its just one of those things where it depends on how much privacy you have on whatever beach your at.  Some beach areas have like nobody on it that we have been to in which case I just change my diaper right there on my beach towel.  But, most beaches have at least some people on it – in which case I will be respectful and take a diaper out of my beach bag and walk up to a restroom or where ever I am staying and change my diaper there.

Changing an adult diaper in a public place is all about a moderation between your own comfort and respect.  You have to respect the others around you and realize that even if you are comfortable with it, they most likely aren’t.  So, please keep that in mind when you consider changing your diaper in public places.  Changing a diaper is a must especially if you poop your diaper because serious rashes and discomfort can come from it so changing in a public place is inevitable.  But, just keep in mind my experiences and be courteous to others and you will be fine with being comfortable wearing diapers out in public places without fear of having to change your diaper there.  I recognize men can’t always just carry around a bag with a diaper in it like women have purses – all I can say to that is to either carry a backpack in certain situations or keep your diapers in your car – preferably in a trunk where it is typically cooler.

Every morning I always have a bowl of oatmeal – oatmeal is super rich in fiber and is a nice way to wake up my stomach, intestines, and bowels and get them going.  Graphic, I know.  Being incontinent does not mean you should not keep your intestines and bowels running good.  Its still extremely important.  I usually by the High Fiber Quaker Oatmeal – it has about 40% of the recommended fiber intake (10 grams).  Through out the day I also try to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit even though I don’t always succeed.  But, I probably consume at least 25-35 grams of fiber each day…some days more and some days less.  Forces me to change my diaper a bit more since it makes me even more “regular” you could say – but, its worth it to me to be healthy.

I encourage everyone here if you are not getting enough fiber that you should.  It will just make you feel better, trust me.  Try eating more whole grains.  Simple things like substitute your white bread for 100% whole wheat bread and throw some nuts into your daily intake…preferably almonds!  Almonds are one of the best foods for you – good for protein, fiber, and healthy fats.  Healthy fats are super important too but that is another post for another day.

Plus, if you eat healthier and more whole grains, etc etc; your poop will be “firmer” (we are all adults here, graphic but only way to describe) and will come out easier and actually will not smell as potently.  One of my tricks Anyways, the point is that ever since I have been making sure to get fiber I typically poop at least once or twice a day which for me is healthy because I know my body.  Some people may go more or less – there is not set number for everyone.  Just be sure you have a good diaper to contain it all if you have been constipated or what not and you start taking fiber – because more than likely at first you will go a lot – like I did   I know this post was all over the place but hopefully you gleamed the important facts from it

1. Order Online: One of the best ways to save on adult diapers and products is to order your products online.  Online you cut out at least one middle man which ends up cutting costs when it comes to buying diapers.
2. Order Adult Diapers in Bulk: Bulk ordering is the way to go.  You may think your getting a great deal by ordering in packs in store but when you calculate the price per diaper – you are getting ripped off when it compares to ordering in bulk.  Trust me, order by the case!  You save a lot more money by ordering in bulk!
3. Go With Premium Adult Diapers: I learned the hard way with this.  I used to be the girl buying the cheap ol’ Depends or Attends because they were cheap but I would end up changing my diaper close to 6 times a day sometimes which is outrageous and you end up going through a pack super fast.  Order premium adult diapers with the best absorbency you can get because they will last you longer and make you more money.  (Recommendations: Secure X-Plus, Bambino Diapers, Abena X-Plus, Molicare)
4. Use Boosters: Looking for a good cheap way to extend your diapers even longer?  Buy some boosters to stuff in your diapers and it will make them last even longer!  You don’t need the super pricey ones if you don’t want.  Any boosters will work because they will add a lot of absorbency.
5. Don’t Pay Shipping: Don’t pay for shipping!  Shipping costs can be super expensive and add a ton of money to the total cost of the diapers.
6. Watch Your Changing: Watch how often you change.  Especially, if you buy premium adult diapers – you will be surprised how much those adult diapers would hold so watch changing after just one wetting.  Be frugal with your changes

Other than those tips – just be frugal and wear when the best times are for you if you are a pleasure wearer.  These tips may seem obvious for being frugal with adult diapers but trust me a lot of people don’t think about them when ordering their diapers…I know I don’t always.  But, TRUST ME, they can save you tons of money.  If you have any questions – feel free to ask – I will definitely help!

I am one of those obsessive people that have to make sure they have more than enough things (i.e. clothes, toiletries, diapers, wipes, etc) just in case.  I am a worry wort.  Yep, I am the person with like 4 bags for a 3 day trip.  That is me!  Make fun of me all you want to but I am always prepared Anyways, I am going to address packing and then dealing with wearing adult diapers when you are at the beach on vacation.

Packing: I highly suggest getting a roll away luggage bag instead of just a regular bag because these are able to fit your clothes and adult diapers and supplies a lot better AND neater!  I am a neat freak so I like my packing organized!  What I do is always bring the most absorbent adult diapers I have on vacation (typically Bambino, Secure, and if I have Abena then I will bring them) in order to minimize bringing tons and tons of diapers which takes up even more room.  The more absorbent adult diapers allow for longer lengths between changing which obviously reduces the amount of diapers you need to carry.  I usually pack my diapers in a whole separate luggage bag (that is just me though).  I will usually bring 2-3 thinner diapers which usually are Attends or Tranquility which I will wear on the beach.  Thinner diapers are a must on the beach because it is usually hot and I don’t want a huge bulky diaper on when I am on the beach.  So, you can go with Attends, Tranquility, or Secure Plus or Secure Premium adult diapers for the thinner ones…or Depends but I hate Depends lol.  Make sure you remember to pack lots of powder (helps to keep cool) and loose fitting clothing because when you are the beach you don’t want to feel so constricted when wearing diapers at a hot beach (at least I don’t).  Something about the beach instills a sense of “freedom” in me and I like to bring loose fitting shorts, wraps, etc that are just more “flowy” and “liberal”.  No tight jeans or pants for me usually unless we go to a nice restaurant.

Dealing With Adult Diapers at Beach: People ask me all the time how do I go about wearing diapers when I am at a beach.  Well, most times its on a “how I feel” basis.  If there are tons and tons of people around then I try to be a little bit mindful of people’s feelings and I will not just wear a diaper and top…I will usually put my bathing suit bottom over the top of the diaper just so it covers it up some.  For guys, its probably easier to cover it up all the way since they wear board shorts or something like that.  If there are not too many people or I am just in one of those I don’t care moods then I will just wear the diaper and my bathing suit top (sometimes I have a t-shirt on over my top).  I mean, that is how I handle it because its not a big thing to me anymore.  It is all about confidence and respect.  If you act like it is no big deal and you aren’t acting like some sort of crazy fool on the beach wearing a diaper then most people will not care and assume its for a disability.  But, if you are acting super babyish or being stupid then most likely people are going to give you strange looks a lot more often and criticize you – which is rightfully so!  So, it is all about being confident and not letting a few looks destroy your feelings BUT at the same time being respectful as well.  I am a very very accepting person and if I saw somebody doing something completely out of the ordinary I probably would not care (yeh I may look but not really care) BUT, if they are being stupid, disrespectful, completely inappropriate, hurting someone, etc. then of course I am going to give them strange looks.  So, the best advice I can give you with wearing diapers at the beach is to just be confident but also mindful if there are tons of people around.

Let me leave you with a rough statistic before I finish up this post…I have been to the beach probably over a 150 times in my entire life from just age 10 to now (mid 20′s).  I can count on probably 1 hand the amount of times anyone has ever said anything to me about my diapers while I am at the beach.  And, NONE of them were disrespectful – they were just curious.  Of course, I have had some strange looks but by no means is it the majority – and most people don’t notice unless you are all over the place.  So out of the thousands of hours I have been at the beach – MAYBE, an hour of those thousand hours was I ever interrupted about my diapers.  Hopefully, this helped some of you all gain a little more confidence in wearing your diapers and not letting it ruin a vacation or cause stress BUT also learn to show a little respect as well for others.

• Do not put your diaper on too tight so that it is right up against your crotch area or butt area.  You do not want the diaper super tight otherwise it makes it harder to pee sitting down because of pure pressure reasons.  Try fastening the diaper on a bit looser so that it allows more room in the crotch and bottom area.
• You can try lifting off the seat of wherever you are sitting slightly to allow yourself an easier time to pee.
• Slouch down in your seat so your bottom is NOT perpendicular with the seat but rather at a more parallel angle with what you are sitting on.

Other than those tips, it really is something I think that takes “practice” and getting used to.  I have heard over time as you get more comfortable using these tips, that you will be able to sit completely straight up and just wet your diaper sitting down without any tricks or help.  There really is no magic to it honestly.  It is all a comfort level and getting used to type of thing in my opinion and from other people’s perspectives.

If you have “mastered” wetting a diaper sitting down I am sure many others would love to hear how you in particular did it and some tips…feel free to leave them in the comments!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend – been a bit on the sick side lately so recovering!

3. Wet Diapers and Chafing One of the most important factors I take into consideration...

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Buy adult diapers that do not sag very much when they are wet. Adult diapers have to be supportive, hence why most adult diapers have either 4 or 6 tapes on the diaper because they are there to hold up the diaper and provide support from sagging. In addition, other factors that help prevent sagging in diapers is the core of the diaper. If the core of the diaper is made up good compacted material then it will also help support the diaper from sagging. One of the main reasons besides the features and absorbency that Bambino Diapers are my main diaper is because no matter how much I wet them, they never seem to sag on me that bad. Hence, no chafing! Sagging is one of the number one causes of chafing with adult diapers because the further it sags down, the more its going to rub on your legs and cause chafing.

Buy adult diapers that do not have a clammy feel on the outside of the diaper when wet. Cheaply made adult diapers do not use premium plastic material and instead go for cost-saving plastic materials that do not contain moisture as well. Have you ever wet a diaper and could feel on the outside of the diaper that moisture feel…hard to describe…but, it is like you can almost feel the wetness through the outside of the diaper. You want to try to avoid diapers like these. Preferably, use diapers that use premium materials when making their adult diapers.

Overall, chafing can come down to a lot of things including your body shape, the way you walk, how much you walk, when you walk, how you put the diaper on, how tight it is, etc. But, there are certain things you can do when it comes to buying the correct adult diaper to minimize chafing. But, try a few diapers out and see how it goes. In NO PARTICULAR ORDER, these are the diapers that I recommend that I have found to be good at minimizing chafing:

1. Bambino Diapers
2. Abena X-Plus
3. Tranquility (not very absorbent but have a good fit too them)
4. Depends (probably the worst absorbency but never had issues with chafing)
5. Secure X-Plus

1. Pick an adult diaper with a waistband because it really helps to prevents leaks and hugs the diaper closer to your body making it more comfortable.
2. Take the adult diapers out of the plastic bags they come in to allow them to expand.  When the diapers are in the plastic bags, they are compressed,  so take them out and allow them to expand so they are more flexible and softer.
3. When putting on an adult diaper, make the two top tapes tighter than the two bottom tapes.  The top tapes of the diaper will make the diaper tighter but the looser bottom tapes will still be secure but allow the flexibility of the legs.
4. Always pick an adult diaper with standing leg cuffs as this is the single most important thing in a diaper in preventing leaks.  You may be surprised how many adult diapers do not come with this important feature.
5. Change your diaper no later than 1 hour after a super wet diaper and 30 minutes after a poopy diaper.  These are the time restrictions I try to adhere to because otherwise I notice I may begin to chaff.
6. Always put powder on the inside areas of your crotch and on the inside of the diaper.  This will help keep you cool but also prevent rubbing and chaffing.
7. Pay attention to price per diaper in regards to buying diapers to make sure you are getting the best deal if you are watching your budget.
8. Buy your diapers online and in bulk to reduce costs.  Buy diapers in cases from reputable dealers to get the best price.  (i.e. Bambino Diapers, XP Medical, Secure Personal Care, etc)
9. Wear plastic pants to help reduce the smell of a poopy diaper if you are in a public area.
10. If you are a woman, position diaper doubler/boosters more towards the seat and back of the diaper to maximize absorbency.  If you are a man, position the diaper doubler/booster more towards the front of the diaper to maximize absorbency.

Hopefully, some of these tips helped you out or at least reinforced some concepts that really can help you not only maximize your diaper use but also save you money in the process.

An adult diaper is designed to only hold a certain amount of liquid and that amount of liquid varies highly across all the diaper brands.  Some adult diapers can barely manage to hold one wetting before they leak while others such as the premier Bambino Diapers, Secure X-Plus, or Abena can hold multiple wettings.  For those people who depend on adult diapers to keep them from leaking and want to save a little money in the long run, boosters are for you.  A booster, if chosen properly, can take ANY diaper and make it last twice or three times as long if used properly.  In the end, this adds to the life of the diaper and thus giving you an extension of time before one needs to change their diaper.

Many people, especially adult babies and diaper lovers, love the feeling of extra padding, especially if that padding is in the butt/seat area of the diaper.  If you like that feeling, a booster is definitely the answer because it provides instant padding that not only increases absorbency of the diaper but also gives you that nice padded feeling in the seat region of the diaper that many people love.

Choosing a booster for an adult diaper can actually be quite meticulous and should be chosen with care.  There are some boosters out there that are fairly absorbent but are super uncomfortable.  Watch out for those because though they will provide you with added absorbency BUT, they can cause chaffing issues in that region and discomfort which nobody wants.  Here are my recommendations for the best boosters you can buy:

1.  Bambino Quadro: This booster is the top-dog of all boosters.  It is extremely helpful in preventing people who leak from the sides while sleeping or out of the back of their diaper.  This booster completely stops all that.  It is the best booster money can buy.  Plus, this booster is made with a special material to give it a super soft feeling that most diapers can’t even compare to.

2.  Bambino Duo: This booster is probably the second best booster on the market.  It can absorb more than 90% of diapers on the market can by themselves so you can imagine sticking one of these booster in your diaper and how long you can last.  Plus, they are also made with Bambino’s super soft material so there is NO chaffing or discomfort.

3.  Tranquility Topliner Booster Pad: This booster is a very well designed booster with a good absorbency that is one of the better ones on the market.  Because the material is not as soft as the two above and the absorbency is significantly less…this gets the #3 spot but it is still a good booster to use.

4.  Depend Boost Inserts: These are the most popular just because they are the most well known because they are in most grocery stores.  The only reason they are on this list is because they are actually decent feeling as far as the material but the absorbency is not very good.  If you are looking for really good absorbency, I would go with another booster such as the Bambino Quadro or Duo.

There you have it…those are my choices of my favorite boosters that I have used.  I have both the Bambino Quadro and Duo taking up at least one whole decent size shelf and a few extra packs in storage.  That is how important I find boosters.  They not only save me money but also they can allow you to go a lot longer in between diaper changes especially if you get one of the better boosters.

1. Take Photos: Taking photos in diapers whether it is with clothes on or off is absolutely essential I think in keeping things fresh.  Its nice to have a photo or even a video record of what you looked like.  Then, you can share the photos with close friends or others.  Or, you can just keep them for yourself to look at or share them with your spouse.
2. Buy New Clothes: If you can afford it, buying new clothes that will look good while wearing a diaper or good for pictures can spice things up a bit.  For me, in the summer, buying a new mini skirt or workout shorts.  You see the angle I am getting at?
3. Tweak Diaper Changes: Make some changes in how you go about getting changed whether you change yourself or someone else changes you.  Peter likes to every once in awhile throw a curve ball into where he changes my diaper in our place.  There are so many options: the floor, the bed, couch, etc.
4. Talk to Others: Conversate with others that wear diapers or make some friends.  This can not only be good for your social life but also keep things new and refreshing in the diaper “realm”.  Obviously, this can prove difficult if you don’t live near anyone that is around your age that you feel comfortable talking with but there is always talking online to people.
5. Add Things To Your Night Out: So when you wear a diaper out and whether you are by yourself or with someone else.  Add some new things such as maybe your partner or friend will check your diaper while you are out or you can check yourself.  Don’t do anything completely crazy or absurd but minor things that won’t completely creep out the public.  A quick diaper check will at most leave a person curious and probably just assume you have some sort medical condition.  So, add a few tweaks to your night out to spice things up.

There are obviously a lot more things you can do to keep things new and refreshing but these happen to be the main ones that we try to do to make sure diapers never become a “going through the motion” type of experience.  They are a big part of our lives and we want to make the best of it.

I have always been pretty experienced with changing messy diapers whether it is Peter or when I have babysat.  But, I guess I got to thinking there must be something I could do thats easier or more convenient OR even something maybe Peter could do to make it easier when he does mess.  I don’t know – I am pretty open and all ears for those who are even more crafty and experienced than me.
