Safe enough time To be in a diaper

Hi, whats the longest someone can safely go in a messy and/or wet diaper w/o diaper rash or infection? i am speaking for males only too. just wondering.

In my experience I can go an hour or two before a change and as long as I wash well between diapers I am okay. If I do start getting a rash, I start using a heavy diaper creme/ointment to provide a skin barrier. Zinc Oxide works best imho, you can get it almost anywhere (I buy mine at Walmart). I have never had an infection because I am careful to not allow things to get carried away. I wear 24/7/365. I take enemas so I will not have a poopy diaper.

I was bladder inco for about 4 years still have some problems at night but not during the day anymore. and there where times when at work i had to be in a wet diaper fr over 8 hours till i had time to change!!! this sucked and made it uncomfortable but still proper care and perp will stop diaper rash before it starts.

Lots of a-d ointment some powder on me and in the diaper itself. now i don't recommend this to anyone. this was not my choice to be in it that long, but i had no choice in the matter. but i agree with katie on this one a couple of hours at the most and you should be ok any longer and better prepare for longer stints in them!!!! the hospital nurses used to leave me in a dirty wet diaper for hours before changing me!!! about three to four if it was a busy that day for them!!!! but that's when the nurses said lots of ointment and powder will prevent diaper rash !!! preparing me for a life of diapers and a wheelchair!!! ha ha ha i walked out of the place just to prove them wrong in a diaper though still had problems for about a year after that then it cleared up till about 5 years ago when i got diabetes type 2 !!! dont think im gonna get rid of the diapers anytime soon , bed wetting is still a problem for me because of decreased sensations in me bladder from nerve damage

It all depends. If you shave or not. :-\

It depends also on what activity you will be doing in said diaper. Much walking probably will involve much chaffing.

I use lots of A&D Ointment and baby powder, and I have stayed in a wet & messy diaper for up to 14 hours without issue.

The thrill for me is not just making my diaper wet and messy, but staying in it for as long as I can!

Yeah, I read that wetting and messing causes a chemical reaction that ends up in really bad rashes. You might be able to go awhile in a wet diaper without rashing up, depending on the sensitivity of your skin, but I don't recommend going too long with a messy one.

It all depends on how used you are to wet or messy diapers. If you're not used to it, then maybe 30 minutes or an hour at the most, just to be safe. Diaper rash is no fun 😢

I do much the same - Zincofax and diapered for overnight. Dulcolax really helps things along.

I have to agree with a few of the comments here - lathering up in ointment before diapering allows you to stay in them much longer without problems. I've gone overnight in messy diapers without a problem.

To be honest there are a few occasions where by morning there is some tingling sensation on the tender areas, like to scrotum. This means things are becoming irritated, and that's the early indication it's time to get to the shower. It's not really a rash that develops though, and any irritation is soon gone with a bit of hydro cortisone or other cream. Mostly the slathering of zincofax offers good protection when wet and messy.

I use cloth diapers exclusively so can use lots of layers. I wear them mostly at night, and with plastic bloomers over the cloth can go all night in the diapers, especially with a dose of something that helps the mess along. Being aware of need for hydration there's a large pitcher of water nearby to replenish. Sometimes it's 8 - 12 hours, and no problems but use of lots of zincofax helps.

I really think that varies for each individual. Some people are much more prone to getting a rash than others. The only real good way to know how long is too long is to experiment. As for me, I can easily go for 8 hours in a totally messy / wet diaper with no issues. But then too, I think my skin has built up some sort of tolerance over the years.

I never mess but I am wet all the time. The longest I have worn the same nappy is about a day and a half.

Like people have stated it depends on the individual, but i wouldnt try staying in one for hours on end as fun as it is it could lead to a very nasty and uncomfortable rash!

I don't mess in mine, I just pee them. I'm normally in my daytime disposable diaper for at least 10 to 14 hours, nighttime disposable diaper 8 to 10 hours.
