Changing pullups in public

My question for pullup wearers is how do you change it easily in public? In public I have shoes, socks, pants (often wear jeans) and it can be a hassle to get all of that off to change in addition to not liking to step without shoes on a public bathroom floor. I find the whole thing to be a bit of a balancing act and is awkward. Im think of switching to something with tapes just to make it easier.

Any tips or advice?

There is no way to change a pull up in a public bathroom with any comfort . I now wear a catheter for medical reasons but went though a few years of having to wear a diaper . It became apparent very fast that pullups were not an option . Tape on's worked best for me for two years until I had a stroke .

The worst time I had with a pullup was going home at or past midnight I had to change it desperately and pulled up next to a lake way out in the country ,Off road in my Bronco , got on the passenger side to change when a cop ‘, out of nowhere asked what I was doing . I told him "I’m changing my adult diaper do you want to help ? He left quite quickly .All said and done pullups are worthless . At best they leak and strand you in impossible places . I found that tape on diapers from north shore worked the best for me until i was put on a catheter .

I just go into a stall in the restroom and slip off my shoes and trousers. As far as removing the wet pull-up. I tear the thinner material down each side and take it off like a diaper. Then I just put on the fresh pull up. I find this much simpler than trying position a diaper with tabs and get it taped correctly in such a confined space.

I no longer wear pull-ups when I am traveling. The last time I had to change I was in an airport bathroom and the floor was covered with water or something. I tried to do one leg at a time as there was no hook to hang my pants on. Ended up getting the seat of my pants wet so it looked like I had an accident anyway. i found that putting on a diaper is much easier and I also find siting in an airline seat in a full diaper to be more comfortable than a pull-up.

Most people I know that haven’t surrendered to the convenience of 2 piece diaper wear double pull ups when first ones used they tear it at seams remove it and pull second one up and keep on going .another method for extended wear comfort is using a plastic backed doubler in the crotch because of the plastic back it doesn’t pass wetness , so when it’s full you yank it and toss it leaving you with a still dry and fresh pull-up .

For me the simplest option is to use tabbed/taped disposable Nappies, stand up in the stall then rip off the tapes roll up the dead Nappy and then put on the new one, no need to sit on a filthy toilet or even get anywhere near the floor.

I too fell into the “If I do this little thing I can take care of it myself” trap . Started leaking at night , Kept a urinal jug at my bed side , can't get to the bathroom in time , pullups , can't change my pullups in time , tape on . If I lean on the wall I can change myself in a public bathroom . If I do this one little thing I can do this . Until I couldn't . Until it cascaded into my world fell in on me . Good for you looking to make you're life better . I know some wear diapers because they want to . But others need to . For those Kudos for trying to improve you're life . It's not easy , don't give up , It can be done ,

The easiest way to change a pull up in public. Is to double or triple up before you leave the house. If you wet the one closest to your body simply tear it off and you have a fresh one ready to go… No remova of pants or shoe nessary. Or make use of pads in the pull-ups.

This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't use pull ups. Yes you do have to remove clothes and shoes.

I only use pull ups for doctors appointments and such as I know that I will be examined there. However as so as the appointment is over I will change back in my regular plastic backing diapers.

I've had not luck with pull ups because of the leaks, same as clothlike diapers.

Never changed my diaper in public but I did go into Walmart and hobby lobby diapered plastic backed. Went into the bathroom and adjusted my diaper by undoing the tapes a few times hoping someone would here it and wonder.

If you're going to need to change in public you're definitely best off with a tape fastening nappy/diaper, as you don't need to remove your trousers, shoes etc.

If you prefer a pull-up but might have to change while you're out, take a tape-up as your change and then if you need to remove the pull-up just tear down the side seams.

I don't wear pullups or disposables for that matter. I wear pinned on cloth diapers and rubber pants. I have changed myself a few times in public places but I admit its hard, not taking the wet diaper off but pinning a fresh one on and getting it right. I've done it by pressing my butt with the diaper over it against the door, pulling the front of the diaper up to my waist and then pinning each side. After that I just pull up my rubber pants and pants and I'm good to go. In recent years my wife has done this for me and it's much easier when she changes me in public places. I imagine changing pullups would be easier for girls, at least when she is wearing a dress or skirt.

If I'm going to wear pull-ups out I will put on three pair and that way as the innermost one gets soiled all I have to do is tear it off and pull the other two up usually that will get me through my time out until I get home and then I can strip and put another pull up on.

Can't explain here lol

It taboo..

Love the advice on wearing two and tearing off the one underneath!

I agree. Diapers are much easier to change in public than pull-ups. That's why I don't understand why marketing doesn't promote diapers as the best choice for everyone instead of pull-ups or guards.
