How do you diaper yourself?

My cloth diapers are 3 jockey shorts & a towel,first 1 jockey short, then the towel followed by the remaining 2 jockey shorts. Then a tall kitchen trash bag with holes cut on the bottom corners, tight fitting on my thighs, and tucked in at my waist. And lastly my PUL diaper cover followed by my Onesie or Diaper shirt with the 5 snaps on the bottom!

I always lay down to diaper myself. I have been doing it this way for so long I have mastered it pretty well. I have had others diaper me, and they do a pretty good job also.

When I do it by myself it depends on what mood I'm in

If I'm in baby mood I lay down as it's more authentic

But if I'm been an adult but just want to wear a diaper I'll stand against a wall

I saw a video of a girl putting on a diaper while standing. I have tried it and it works.

Fist fold the diaper length wise, The put the diaper between your legs and clamp them together to hold up the diaper. Adjust the diaper either higher or lower in the back and then tape one leg then the other. Now pull the top tight and tape each side. Make sure the bottom tapes face up and the top tapes face down. Works very well.

I spread out the diaper on the bed and hop on spread some powder en fasten it standing up.

Since I wear cloth, I first spread out and layer the ones I'm going to wear on the edge of bed, the front 1/3 of them hanging over the edge, positioned so that when I sit down on them my butt is in the right position with respect to the diapers.

This usually involves at least three layers--a relatively thin Gary contour flannel diaper on the bottom (will be on the outside), a big thick bulky flannel prefold--folded lengthwise into thirds--in the middle for a soaker (and if I know I'll be wearing / wetting them a lot or just want them to be extremely bulky, I'll do two of these), then on top a nice, thick soft flannel contour that will go against me. I then get two big adult-sized pink ducky diaper pins and pin the outer contour to the inner one in the back but leave the pins open.

Then, standing up, I cover my entire diaper area with pink Baby Magic lotion (or Johnson's if that's what I have at the time). Then I sit down on the diapers (careful to not get poked by the pins!). Then I pull the fronts of the diapers up between my legs, over my lotion-covered private parts (OMG this part feels so babyish and wonderful!). Then comes the pinning--which is the worst part.

Since I'm right handed, I first roll over onto my left side and pin the right side of the diapers by pinning the back corners of the two contours to the front of the outer contour about at my waistline. Since it's the hardest side for me to pin (since my left hand has to do most of the work) I do this side first when I have lots of "slack" to work with.

Then I roll over onto that side and pin the left, easier since I"m reaching over and using my right hand. I try to get this side even with respect to where I pinned the first side, and as tight as possible (knowing that since they're cloth, once they get wet they loosen up quite a bit). After years of experience I've actually gotten pretty good at this.

If I'm going to be going out in them, I'll usually add a second set of pins for "security", below the other ones, near the bottom of the diapers just over my legs. Those are fairly easy to pin on and I do that while standing up.

Then I pull up my plastic pants. That's probably the best part because the plastic pants going on is (for me) one of the most babyish aspects of all of this--and the more babyish the plastic pants look, the more fun this is.

If it's a hot day and especially if I'm going out, I'll go stand in the shower (so it doesn't go everywhere) and put some powder around the waist / leg holes of the plastic pants.

I've been doing this now for about 50 years and have actually gotten pretty good at it. Getting older and having a big stomach does not make this easier! Recently I ordered a few new, larger outer flannel diapers that are wide enough to make this easier. However the easiest way is to have my wife do it, and sometimes she will but if she's on the sofa watching TV I hate to ask her. That, or our kids are over here visiting and that makes it impossible. Oh well.

The first time I wore a diaper, I put another diaper inside it, but I cut holes init to use it as a booster. I went to sleep. When I woke up, I had leaked a little bit because the diaper was to small. Still enjoyed waking up in a diaper.

For the 2 or 3 times I did wear a diaper, i spread it out on the bed and sat/laid on it and did it up.

My aide does the messy ones ,when I need to change myself I do it in bed ,much in the same way nurses do rolling side to side in the bed .

I think we all can agree it's definitely not an easy task in the beginning. Eventually as time and practice go through thier course it does get easier.. I prefer to laid down when applying a diaper for easier better fit. I think it's harder to stand to apply a diaper for the fit I need and want. Most of the time when standing is because I'm using a public restroom. My idea of using the wall of the stall to help hold the diaper up while fitting it isn't appealing to me.

@Indiana you hit the nail on the head ,being i use a power wheelchair ,i am getting scrawny everwhere except my stomach ,better fit laying down that flabiness goes away and your diaper secures much better.

If I am by myself, I will wear the pull up kind with pads in it. When my partner is home though, I lie down and he is able to get it snug.

I never have either a nurse did it or dom Daddy

Pull ups are one thing. They can go right on, right off. But, yes, you are right. Straight up plastic tapes disposable diapers really do need to be put on you. Put on you by someone or even sometimes someones. Can be a team effort as well. Especially, if you are looked after by a couple or by friends together that day.

Lay you down, unfasten tapes, discard pee pees diaper, baby wipe, baby powder sprinkle, tape you up in a brand new dry diaper, done. The way it should and needs to be properly done.

I don't wear diapers regularly and the only ones I can really put on myself are the adult Depends or whatever. There were a couple incidents where I wore something other than that. One time I had a guy friend (not a boyfriend, not a dom, just a friend) put a baby diaper on me. We bought the absolutely largest baby size we could find. It lasted all of 2 minutes but then broke off because it was too little for me - but duct tape would've fixed that quickly. The second time I was actually sessioning with a prodomme where I live and she had me stand up while she put it on me. She had me hold it up while she taped it on me. The most recent was the third time - again with the aforementioned pro - I was on my period so she insisted that I wear a diaper during the session but since I was on my period, she made me put it on myself. I did it standing up and had to tighten it once I got it on, it really wasn't that hard. I only had to adjust it once but once I had it on, it stayed on and secured the whole time. However, I agree with diaperjared - anything else other than pull-ups are much easier put on by someone else.

The few times I put on a "diapey" or pull-ups. I usually play a pretty nasty doctor/surgeon to myself.. Usually while wearing surgical or other high-risk PPE, and use alcohol wipes vs baby wipes (when I can get the ones I like anyway). Usually pull-ups over diapers, since diapers are a pain, and I need a larger size, to fit them properly alone. Being larger-sized with back problems makes this difficult for sure! Besides.. shouldn't they always be PUT on you by doctors/surgeons? 😃 Hehe.

I do it both ways. At night I wear a cloth diaper and I lay on the edge of the bed as my wife pins it on. During the morning change I wear disposables and again lay on the bed to change. But during work, I use the bathroom and stand against the stall to remove and replace my disposable. They both have their advantages, but the laying down is more submissive and humiliating.
