Traveling

Just returned from a week plus vacation. I did not wear a diaper the whole time. For those that need obviously a solution is found, so for those of us that wear (and sometimes use) for ‘comfort’ or whatever; how does one travel with enough diapers and supplies for an extended time? Finding diapers in stores in foreign countries is not always obvious. I always wear plastic panties over my diapers. Traveling with 3 or 4 pairs is not a problem, but if one uses cloth, which I like, that is a lot of bulk to pack and laundry to do. So curious about different solutions.

To save on space and laundry use disposable diapers. You probably can have diapers ship to the hotel or your place of stay in advance. Just takes some planning ahead and communicate with your place of stay.

Planning ahead is a normal for a 24/7 diaper wearing individual. Doesn't matter if it's for need or fun. By wearing disposable diapers there isn't any laundry to as far as diapers.

I haven't traveled any long distance or even flying since I became incontinent. However I've been on vacation for a week or so and packed the need amount and plus some.

If I was spending time in a foreign country I would ship supplies ahead of time. All of the major Hotels that provided us with long-term stays would place our supplies in our waiting rooms. This was a godsend to anyone that needed special items.

No wonder you were having a hard time with all the Americans who were crapping their pants trying to get out of there.

Of course there was a shortage of Diapers

When we travel, my wife and I make arrangements with the hotels we are staying at to store the diaper supplies we send in advance and make sure they have laundry service for my cloth diapers. Not every hotel is cooperative but most are, especially those that are more in the luxury category. The housekeepers have been very helpful in making sure our room had my diapers and stuff set up, and the laundered diapers are returned by the end of the day, that way I don't have to have that many diapers on our trips.

If catching a plane inside the US going anywhere your covered under the ADA , it allows you a an extra suitcase without charge for medical supplies , leave full of diapers return full of souvenirs .

the second is most companies will drop ship supplies to your destination , most hotels will receive and hold diapers for 2 weeks pending your arrival . Traveling with diapers isn’t much trouble compared to local sourcing of decent quality diapers being almost impossible in some places .

I really worry should I get a SSSS on my ticket as that I have to wear nappies on the plane. Some searches have been a little embarrassing.

Thanks. Realistic solutions for realistic problem. If the hotels know they are holding diapers for you do they put protection on the beds?

From my experience on all of this, 1. all of my diapers are shipped in non labeled boxes. So they won't know what it is unless you tell them. 2. I've contacted my hotel in advance that I wear diapers and may need bed protection. All of them said they don't provide bed protection. It was my responsibility. So I wouldn't count on them providing any bed protection.

I understand your embarrassing situation. That might be a good idea to get one to perhaps help with this. Just know and remember that you are not the only person wearing diapers for need. Make the best of it and go on. No one has a perfect body.

@ concrete look around on the web there are TSA notification cards you can print out . And you do not under any circumstances have to justify or get approval from anybody to wear/use diapers. Matter of fact if anyone asks you to “prove“ your condition, is committing a felony and subject to a massive expensive to them eventual settlement for violating your rights . There is no requirement beyond you saying if you want that you use diapers , you are a “protected class” under the Americans with disabilities act , so anybody who wants more info than you are willing to share is discriminating against you .that simple, just one piece of advice go thru security as dry as possible because if you sent to the human sized microwave scanner in a wet one TSA is gonna cop a feel and make you change into a dry one . Have fun send me a postcard wherever you going .

I was in the Intercontinental Hotel in Frankfurt Germany for a ten-week stay. KLM Airlines picked up my luggage and required extras for my stay. When I arrived the staff of the Hotel had hung my suits and shirts and filled a wardrobe with all of my diaper supplies. In addition, they did have a mattress protector and an additional garbage pail. I did have a visit from the Concierge of the hotel asking if there was anything I needed in addition. Nice touch I thought.

I did feel rather over-prepared when I found a Medical Supply outlet just two blocks away from the hotel.

We spent two months on our boat traveling. That was a LOAD of diapers. I took a couple cases and half a dozen cloth diapers plus a bunch of rubber pants. Staying on the boat made diaper life pretty easy. I wore disposables 24/7. At nighttime I added a heavy cloth diaper over my disposable and my ever present rubber pants. Never had a leak, but several times the cloth diaper saved the day. We just washed my wet diapers with the rest of the laundry.

There was a ton of storage space by the time we got back…..
