Long Haul Bus/Coach Trips

Recently I was thinking about the possibility of going on a holiday in the USA by road, at some point in the future before I reach 60 as I am now 42/43

I was thinking of taking the greyhound or other bus companies from San Francisco CA or Los Angeles CA to Las Vegas NV, mostly because I don't drive aka I don't have a driving license do this would entail instead having to travel long distances by bus/ coach.

And the one thing that I have been told many times is that truckstops aren't the most hygienic of places to go to the toliets/restrooms so I was wondering if I should wear diapers if possible for this kind of journey or long overnight road trip.

As I am already partially incontinent so do beed to wear diapers/nappies from time to time for medical and my own personal reasons.

Anyway I was thinking of revisiting Route 66 something that I haven't been since I was 2-3years old when I was still a Toddler traveling with my pearants, see my post on that if you haven't already done so.

Anyway I was wondering what type of diaper is suitable for long durations and should I pack a diaper bag for myself?

Anyway this is just an Idea for the time being as I haven't booked anything and its pretty much a pipe dream so to speak of.

I would go with a good diaper (any premium diaper would do) and then add a booster. I still have a hard time wetting while I'm driving, but driving non-stop on Route 66 kind of defeats the purpose.

I'm thinking about doing the Southwest Chief on Amtrak, which is the same thing, but a train. When I do, I'll be wearing Crinklz because I have subscription and I like them

There was just an article in a national disability magazine that reviewed most of the bigger train routes and not surprisingly the winner was the lakeshore limited , it starts in Manhattan at Grand central and goes to Chicago , I have personally done this train several times and it’s a pretty affordable accommodating run and the scenery is amazing from the running the Hudson River shoreline thru the mountains onto the Great Lakes shoreline with all kinds of interesting natural and man made landmarks . The only caveat to long train journeys is freight has rail priority so you will sometimes get parked on spur for hours to let freight move , I am a huge fan of trains and live across the street from a locomotive plant . Also be aware Amtrack offers free trips to writers and artists to help inspire the arts you can get completely free trips on super dome cars with private cabins and meals . They will take you sea to shining sea or up through the desert into Alaskan wilderness whatever trips your trigger .

@Chinababy888 I would definitely wear a diaper on the trip. If I was going to diaper someone for the trip, I would have them wear a quality disposable diaper. I would change them more frequently and not have them test the capacity of their diaper. Public transportation is not a good place to have a leak.

Another thing to consider is how you are going to use the diaper. Are you going to wet it and not try to use the bathroom or are you going to try to use the bathroom and use the diaper in case you have an accident?

People often fall asleep and wet when they are sleeping so a diaper is a good idea.

You will definitely need a diaper bag. Take more diapers than you think you will need.
