Can other people smell it if you pee in your diaper.

I'm wondering how I can minimize the ability of others to smell a wet diaper. I wear diapers when driving a taxicab, because the opportunity to find a bathroom is limited. But the taxicab is often a closed confined space, and I can't always let outside air circulate in because I am sensitivie to car exhaust. Currenly I wear Abena Super X plus with the cloth-like backing. Would plastic backing work better? What about plastic pants over the diaper? Would love to hear feedback on this.

My mommy knows when I am wet in the morning. Mommy telks me what a stinky baby I am.

Drinking only water is a good suggestion, and less salt is too. Thanks! Not sure what "less drunk" means? (I never drink and drive, especially with my cabbie job.) 😉

Well, drinking things like coffee, and beer will make it smell more, even fresh pee. Some foods too, will make a heavy smell, asparagus comes to mind for one. Fresh pee will not smell as strong, but the older it gets, the more it will smell, and the more ripe it will become.

My wife usually tells me if I smell of pee when I get up.

Whether we like the smell or not, we have to Admit that there IS an odor, even just from a wet diaper. Cloth diapers especially create the need to change often, because as was pointed out earlier, the pee breaks down and plastic pants make the process worse by not allowing any air to get at the cloth.

I have found that tena pads and slips only smell if they are completely soaked yet attends no 8 which I sometimes wear smell as soon as they are more than just a little damp.

I don't think it to be very polite to subject others to my diaper desires. So if I go out diapered first of all I don't want to be recognized as wearing a diaper so I usually only go out in public in the winter when they are better concealed. If I venture out in warmer weather it is only if I am shure I won't see anyone. If I use my diaper wile out I stay away from others so as not to subject them to any oder I don't think it to be fair or polite to subject anyone else to my strange desires. just how I feel about it

I don't think it is too apparent until a few hours after peeing when the Amonia seeps out of the urine

You are SO very mistaken. You are so used to the smell, you don't notice it any more.

Non diaper wearers and especially mothers can smell it within minutes.

Yes - it smells and others certainly take notice of it. If you're soaking your diaper - change it immediately. Any place you sit - even if you think your not leaking, you are, and you're endangering the public's health. The longer you stew and ferment in your own urine... the more pungent and acrid of an odor you generate - even if you can't smell it. I don't want to think about what your bed must smell like!!!

The sense of smell is a strange thing. I am incontinent and wear nappies all the time. My wife tells me if I am starting to smell of urine and admits I often do. Our bedroom smells from my constant nightly bedwetting but she never comments on that yet I can smell the familiar bedwetting smell all the time.

@switchablesusie:

Thanks for the 'Moms' sensitivities perspective.

When subspacing, I'd find it wonderfully humiliating to be told by the Mom they could smell that I was wet (fantasy only).

It also might explain the glances I kept getting from the Mom of the famliy at the table next to us in a restaurant on our last trip.

It depends. Quite frankly, I would recommend plastic pants.

I can always smell it when someone young or old or someplace in between has a wet diaper. I don't know if it's the mom in me, the nurse in me, or the clean freak in me, but yes I can and yes it's a bit offensive to others just so you know. And I say that with all due respect.

As someon who wears for medical purposes if I have wet myself during the night I will usually at least get the vague smell of urine when I wake up which is why I wear a diaper at night to keep my bed and clothes from having that smell

I can smell my diaper when soaked and by being on for a good while. I've only noticed at diaper changes. I buy diapers that help with odor.

I sometimes think I can smell mine after some time from the first wetting but the wife has not said anything, maybe I am being oversensitive !

I think your wife is being kind.
