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.

I thought I would make my first post on something one of my readers have asked me.  How do you change a diaper in an airplane and contain the smell?

Wearing a diaper and changing a diaper in an airplane is handled I would say in the same manner you would any tight space or close-quartered area.  If you wet your diaper on an airplane and it isn’t at risk of leaking then see if you are able to wait until the plane lands – it would just be easier in general to change your diaper in an airport bathroom for obvious reasons.  If you are on a long flight though and have no choice and need to change your wet diaper then just take a diaper out of where ever you have it stored – don’t look suspicious though – just act like it is not a big deal.  Especially on a plane you don’t want to be pulling anything out of a bag and look suspicious if you catch my drift.  So, some tips for changing your diaper in an airplane bathroom would be to bring a pull-up to last you the rest of the way if you think it will be able to hold.  A pull-up is a lot easier to put on then a diaper is and less time consuming.  But, if all you have is diapers then just put the diaper on while sitting down if there is a space in that particular airplane bathroom…it is way easier than trying to stand up and changing.  But, if you have to change your diaper standing up just use the wall to brace yourself against to provide some leverage so you don’t go swaying everywhere.

When it comes to messy and poopy diapers – I would suggest some pre-planning for this, which is what I have always done.  If you are a person that does poop their diapers then changing in an airplane will prove extremely difficult.  I would HIGHLY suggest first putting a lot of powder inside your diaper before you get on the plane and make sure the diaper is tight around the edges so the smell has less space to come out.  Then, make sure to put on a good pair of plastic pants or even two of them which will immensely help contain the smell and keep it inside your pants.  Also, wear a good perfume/cologne which will help mask anything that does get out.  This is what I have always done and never run into many issues.  If you absolutely have to change a poopy diaper in an airplane bathroom then make sure you brought your own baby wipes and a lot of them.  Brace your legs against the sides of the bathroom walls so that you are stabilized and can reach the areas you need to wipe in order to clean your bottom.  Then, as usual brace yourself against a wall to secure a diaper on.  I would also highly suggest wearing a premium diaper along the lines of a Bambino Diaper…that sort of premium.  It will allow more wettings and provides more of a cushion and barrier between your bottom and the outside which also helps to contain the smell.

Some of these are obvious tips but some aren’t, so hopefully these tips help you next time you decide to wear a diaper on an airplane and need to change.  If you have any other tips please do share them as I am just basing this off my personal experiences and what I have done.

Incontinence works the same way as people without incontinence in the sense that more fiber and what not makes you poop more often – we just don’t have control.  So, I am trying to become more regular in that sense because it is healthier.  Peter will end up changing more messy diapers but I don’t think he minds especially if it is for a good reason.  Regularity is defined by the individual and is not a “set in stone” type of thing.  Some people poop 3-4 times a day and some may only go once.  As long as you are “regularly” going then you are OK but if you find yourself not pooping whether it is in a diaper or not for a couple days or more than you may want to reconsider your diet and exercise habits.  Exercising in fact does help regularity.

I know many of you probably think I am skinny and in shape looking but I will disagree a little bit.  I am skinny but I am not tone which is what I am trying to do.  I need to cut back on the fat, exercise more, and increase my protein so that I can put on more muscle and get rid of the excess flab I do have on my body.  I don’t necessarily want to lose a lot of weight – I just want to tone my body.  Gotta get my diaper butt in shape!  My butt especially needs toning because I don’t have a huge butt but I wish it was a bit bigger.  So, if I tone it up a little bit then it will look a little bigger…at least that is my plan.  I will keep you all up to date with my status of my exercising and dieting.

• Use Nair For Men to get rid of the outside butt hair off (not the inside as you are not suppose to get it close to your ‘anus’ per the instructions).
• Use a hair trimmer or shaver to get rid of any excess and use to shave inside the crack area to get rid of a lot of the hairs.  This way it doesn’t cut into the root of the hair which causes a lot of the itching you experience.
• Use a good moisturizer lotion afterwards and every time you get out of the shower all over your butt.
• Always use baby powder when putting on a diaper or changing.

These are some helpful tips for making messy diaper changes easier to cleanup and also preventing that itchiness that comes with shaving.  Don’t use a razor as that will for sure cause you to itch down there and from experience (both Peter and I) – its not fun at all.
