How to deal with the "heat"

Has anyone noticed their pants heating up? Mine sure are.

I'm Hot in Diapers - more ways than one 😉

I am finding that the hotter the weather gets - the hotter it is in a diaper...anyone else notice this? Any solution?

Yeah...it's cool in the northeast still, but it's warm enough! I usually wear plastic pants over my Attends and I've noticed I'm starting to sweat under the plastic pants!

Solution?? hmmm take off the diaper??? no....

Take off your pants and wear just your diaper??? Well, it's an idea, but I'm not thinking I'm going to be doing that in public.

Stay in air conditioned places...

I usually wear snap on plastic pants this time of year. Also at night I will sometimes go with out plastic pants in bed. Don't worry I have more than enough mattress protection!

Yeah, I guess you can say this time of year - less is more...

maybe just one diaper at a time....

Definitly the time of year for a little extra powder I wear disposables during the day and cloth at night so I sweat alot in the disposables when out.

I live in Atlanta so I'm somewhat an expert on diapers and hot weather. First, if you wear disposables, wear a good one. Cheap ones has so little filler that it isn't too long before you are butt to butt with the outer plastic cover. I wear Abenas and am far more comfortable than I was in Attends for instance. Secondly, use a good baby cream on your bottom. This will help keep you from getting "prickly heat sores" and jock itch. I use Destin's cream, not the diaper rash one, the one that is much more thin. It still smells like Destin but goes on so nicely. Third, use a good baby powder. If you are brave, you can use J&Js regular scented baby powder (it's just a little too scented for me during outings) or an unscented one which probably would be best. Finally, wear shorts rather than pants whenever you can. This is probably the best way to keep cool on a hot day in a diaper. plus your diaper will feel a lot more comfy as short usually fit looser that pants. One more thing you can do, wear just a cloth diaper, no plastic panties once in a while. You'll get the wonderful feeling of a diaper without the heat. One caution on this idea though, don't wet yourself. You might find yourself in a little puddle. Good luck.

Yes, here in DC metro area, it is getting hot and muggy, but, do not spend time outside in my diapers and plastic pants so just enjoy them in air conditioned house and yes it is warmer in summer time with A/C versus winter time but one just has to dry out those diapers and plastic pants before wearing again.

Try the breathable disposable diaper and stay at place with air-con.

I agree !! its bad enough im hot in a diaper to begin with but the added heat form summer just makes things more humid and uncomfortable for me. lots of powder and lots of ointment help alot with that though.

Some extra baby cream can help.

Also let the skin dry, stay naked for some time.

I wear cloth diapers and plastic pants and they definitely get hot here in Northern California. I wear snap on pants to help keep down the heat or a pair of Bumkins waterproof polyester pants. The polyester material breathes a little better than plastic/vinyl.

Not too much you can do about disposables and probably will try some of the new briefs with the cloth backing. hard to switch since I am a big fan of plastic backed diapers.

It does get hot if you wear your diapers all night. That is why I like to just wear my cloth diapers to bed this time of year. Today, my baby boy and I had an amazing playdate and got hot...really hot...so he laid naked with the fan blowing on him while I cleaned him. He is the best diaper boy ever! WE had so much fun. But...I would suggest powder, lots of it for the heat.

I live in the SE US, Atlanta and it is 90 + during late june, july, aug, and part of sept. I wear abenas under my knee length shorts and have no problems. lots of baby power really helps to keep the itching down. Also, I discovered only this year that shaving all my pubic hair (everthing) has really helped as well. I use to get really bad jock itch pretty regularly. I haven't had it all summer.

I have the perfect solution to this problem.IT REALLY WORKS. I live In Oklahoma and we had a few triple digit days. What I do is I put a strong deoderent all over my skin where my diaper touches me except for my "private part" because I don't think that would be a good idea and maybe a little down the inside of my thighs because some times the diaper sags in between my legs. Then i put a some nicely scented baby power that doesn't smell like it all over the diaper and rub it on my skin where the diaper touches my skin includding "my private parts" And I do not sweat at all. It is great. I feel nice and cool. This really works.

I live in Oklahoma city and the summer time gets really hot and i tried to wear diapers even the breathable ones in the middle of summer i also had baby powder on and it was so hot i actually felt like i soaked it that how much i was sweating.

I was going to pose the question that was discussed here. When I go out in a diaper I wear a disposable, covered by cloth diaper and the plastic panties. Obviously too hot for warmer weather. I tried just a cloth diaper and plastic panties...too hot. Today I tried a disposable with big boy panties over it, it was an active day and in two hours I was soaked with no help from my bladder. I was wishing for a magic answer but I guess there isn't one. Changing every two hours just doesn't seem to fit an active life. For those who must wear a diaper it must be uncomfortable, to say the least, in warm weather. I do appreciate all the "talkT here on the subject and may try some suggestions.

Thanks.

😁 😁 😁 😁 i gave dl commando's method a try yesterday and i was amazed.soaked diaper - urine not sweat. 😁 😁 😁 😁

Yesterday i tried DL_commando's deoderant system and it truly made a difference. Granted it was not the hottest of days and my physical activity was minimal but it certainly made a difference. Thanks, DL_Commando.

I find myself wearing less this time of year because of the heat. Although I will still usually wear to bed while sleeping with the a/c on. Don't want to get any uncomfy diaper rash. 😉

I was wondering how you deal with the extra heat that a diaper/pullup makes while wearing them all day?

😃The only part of the heat that bothers me is when my disposable gets all clumped up from sweat (I think) Hate to waste a good diaper. I don't wear them 24/7 but still... Funny thing is, if I use it before it clumps even a little, it doesn't seem to clump. Go figure.

How would you deal with MissStress?

I had to wear one the other day for practical purposes(I was not feeling well and was out and about for the 4th of July holiday). I noticed that my bottom got rather warm. Was just wondering if there was a "hint" that made it not so warm. Just in case I have to do that again.

😃lots of powder, some have suggested using a good antiperspirant first, but summertime diapers pretty much equal hot bottom, which I like to imagine you have any way 😁. still much better than the alternative of not having a diaper on and needing it. Good planning.

ps nice profile picture, i think I know that island, very stress free. (when I was there at least.

😳 Thank you.

If you leave off the plastic pants then don't wear cloth diapers if you want to pee pee and not anything around you wet. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Best thing you can do in the heat is wear cloth diapers and loose plastic pants in the summer heat i havebeen incontinent for over 25 years and only had to deal with rash a few times i found the disposables do not absorb sweat to good and they don't breathe which is what causes the rash and if you noticed they are trying to solve the heat problem by making cloth back disposables but as long as the sweat isn't being absorb you got to change your diaper more often even if its not wet

Miss Stress,

The antiperspirant works...a little. Disposable diapers certainly add to the "heat" so cloth which is tight at the waist but loose through the crotch is best. To be effective you need plastic panties, these should have tight waist and leg openings but otherwise fluff out to allow air around your diaper. Wearing trousers compacts the panties and builds the heat, so, shorts work as I discovered the other day, and of course a dress or loose skirt would be good too. Any combination is still going to get hot the more active you are and the hotter the day (particularly with humidity). Frequent changes with lots of baby powder is perhaps the best, but possibly most impractical solution. Good luck and have fun.

I went to Walgreens the other day and bought some of their cloth backed disposable diapers. Today I wore one while playing golf. The weather was in the 90s (F) and quite humid. The diaper was noticeably cooler than a plastic backed disposable...though I still did sweat and it was not easily absorbed. How the cloth backed keeps the moisture from leaking through I don't know but it does seem to. I almost always wear a pair of plastic panties over my diapers but did not today because I wanted to see about heat build up.

Now if someone could just tell me what diaper to wear to improve my golf game !!!

Aloha from Hawaii. I can relate about wearing diapers and the heat!!!! Today is a good example of that, while in disposable diapers we choose to use a bit more powder, sometimes cloth diapers help out as well, however wearing cloth diapers causes us to have to wear plastic pants as well.

I just switch to cloth. Cheaper anyways and it doesn't get as hot.
