Changing at Public events

It happens to all of us, being at a public event , whether it is a movie or a sporting venet having a accident.

For the past few years when I have a accident at a sporting event what happens is that my wife starts to smell the odor. Then we casually walk out of the event but tell the ushers we will be back. We walk to the parking lot. I'm placed on the well tinted back of the car on a mat. First comes the baby bottle to relax me. After the bottle I'm wiped, cleaned up and powdered, lotioned and changing into a new diaper . After the bottle having a paci to suck on.

After being changed then walked back to the event for the remainder of the day.

How do other handle public requirements for changing

I have a radar key and use the disabled toilet.

When I need a diaper change when I'm out in public I use the family restrooms.

With the events/venues that I have been to (mostly sporting events), they rarely are willing to let you back in. Typically my approach is to change into a fresh, thick diaper just beforehand so that there is no need to change during. If for any reason I anticipate needing to change during the event I take a small bag with me, which since I can claim it as a medical item, am typically not given any trouble. Then I can just take it to any bathroom stall and change in there.

I use the Family bathrooms or the disabled bathrooms.

For me I just change in a restroom stall

Thankfully in 10yrs I have had only two messy accidents while out in public. Both times, I was able to just leave and head home to change. As for being soaked, I will go ahead and find a private restroom if I can and change there.

I'm accustomed to changing in bathroom stalls. I've been in diapers my entire life, so I've done my fair share of changes in public spaces. I can't control my bladder, so changes aren't always in convenient places, so I just have to power through sometimes and change in tiny stalls, or other similar inconvenient places.

Who, at least IF you really are incontinent, hasn't had to change at Public events. Not the best thing to have to do BUT you may very well have to do so, expecially at a lengthy event lasting several hours (football games and other major sporting events). I refuse REFUSE to attempt to limit my liquids.

For me, I am talking only about the urinary side of the equation. IF I get dehydrated, my thinking clearly is threatened and I can get disoriented. My wife can tell in an instant when this is beginning. So limiting liquids is NOT AN OPTION. Now the issue at hand. IF you are wearing a wrap-around-brief (diaper with side tapes) and you have to 'sit', that is terrible. Seldom (IF ever) can I get a wet, wrap-around-brief refastened and comfortable after removing the side tapes to 'sit'. Often (no not always) the side tapes rip the plastic of the wrap-around-brief.

My solution. I use the high qualilty, Abena brand, pullup briefs (protective underwear / disposable absorbent underwear) with a high quality booster pad inside. Then I can easily just pull out the wet booster pad and slip a fresh one inside the pullups.

Here is the problem with this above solution. IF I have to 'sit', and IF the pullup I am wearing is saturated (the booster pads absorb urine but also let it pass through into the pullups) then it is an issue to even attempt to think in terms of changing into a fresh pullup in a public restroom stall at a major event. My answer to this is to carry a wrap-around-brief with me. It is easy far easier to change-out a wrap around brief in a stall than to get a fresh pullup in place.

Having my nappy changed at a public event can be a challenge.

Some of the modern venues do have changing facilities and if it is an outdoor event I am taken to a quieter location to be changed

But often it is on a dirty floor somewhere and not pleasant

Maybe I am spoiled but when i need to change ,my wheelchair reclines and my feet go up with one button press and i changed right were I am. If it's not a family style you simply get rid of the people and do it in front of the door ,there aren't many people who can muscle my wheelchair it's 500 pounds without me ,it's about 620 with me ,my aide is 6'4" 6'5" and another 280 ,so you better bring some elephants if you want in .I don't intentionally be a dick about it ,but sometimes you do what's neccsary ,there are malls I have been to that the doors open out ,in that instance we will find an empty back corridor where stores have there back doors for restocking .as long as mall security hasnt done something cute like put up a camera ,were in business!

Changing can be a problem some of the time.

It is made harder by the disgusting state of most toilets open to the public.

If I can I try to find a restaurant or somewhere that looks like it has good standards of cleanliness.

I also try to use family bathrooms or the disabled bathrooms whenever possible. If I can't find one of those, I will change in the bathroom of a restaurant.

Planning is key. Unless I know there is going to be a good clean family restroom available, I try to plan so that a change in public will not be necessary. That may mean an extra thick diaper and plastic pants. If I know it’s possible in advance, it may mean leaving the event and being changed in the back of the car. Changes in public restroom stalls are possible, If I’m not too wet or messy. That means frequent checks during the event. At football games my caretaker likes to take me before quarterly or half time breaks. That way the restroom is not very crowded.Unfortunately when I am checked and changed in public it’s usually not as discreet as I would like. When I get them I get embarrassed and I wet even more.

If I had someone in diapers I would have them try to use the potty and put a dry diaper on them before we left.

While we are out I would give them frequent diaper checks and encourage them to tell me if they are wet so they can be changed before an embarrassing leak occurs.

That's what my wife does as well. Also frequent diaper checks when we are out, not always done so discreetly. We always take our diaper bag with us, in case I need to be changed. Since I'm always diapered when we go out, and we often are out for many hours, my wife changes me fairly often. We use family style or handicapped restrooms, ones big enough to change my cloth diapers and pin fresh dry diapers on me. She has also changed me in the backseat of our car, or in a local park under a tree, or on a picnic table, or on the trail away from people. I've always found it a little exciting but at the same time embarrassing to be changed in public.

Been changed at Parking lot's drive in movie theater's county fair medical tent's etc. ( by my aid) when you are paralised you have no choice

I have key for disabled toilets I was given and use it as in uk a lot been adapted large nappy changing tables
