How often do you wash your plastic pants?

I just started wearing plastic pants over my diapers and wanted to know bow often everyone washes theirs? I seldom ever leak and they are just to hold in the pee smell that slowly leaks over the course of the night. I only wear at night and I wear abena x-pluses plastic back.

If you aren't actually getting them wet, or leaking into them, I would say once a week, or every few days. And you could do it quickly by hand. Just a bit of soapy water, rinse, and hang to dry. You could put them in the dryer, but make sure you use no heat! Just tumble dry.

This way they will stay fresh and clean smelling. Cause, even though you may not be leaking into them, moister, and sweet will build up inside your plastic pants. Hope this helps, good luck!

I hardly ever wash my plastic pants that way they stay softer and last longer. Plus I get that lovely pee pee smell that I love so much because I smell like a big sissy baby.

Well like most say if you don't really leak any pee in your plastic pants . Then washing them once a week would be good . Since the more you wash them the stiffer they may get. I wear cloth diapers with my plastic pants . So I need to change the pants every day . And I wash the pants by themselves in a small bucket of warm water an I add WOOLIT to the water, as it is a very gentle cleaning agent . Then I rinse them by hand in the tub. Next I have a line fixed in the shower to where I hang them up to dry . If you put them in the dryer you'll make them stiff fast . So it's best to hang them up to dry .

Every time I use them I rinse them out and air dry them

I usually just rinse them in some hot water and hang them to dry.

I wash my overpants everyday.

With rubber pants, which I wear over pin-on birdseye prefolds, I wash them by hand in the shower with bar soap and warm water after every wetting (I wet very heavily, soaking my diapers to leaking), or wetting and soiling (soiling permanently stains the rubber, but that's the price one pays), and I wash them once a week or so in the washing machine with diapers only (no pins, no zippers, no buttons -- nothing that could puncture or scar the rubber).

I never, ever dry them except by hand, wiping them with a hand towel inside and out and placing them on the radiator for a time so them may dry without drying out. The waistband takes a long time to dry, but it's worth the wait. If one does not wash these pants with baby detergent now and then, they will retain not only pee but poop smells, which can be very unpleasant over time. Properly cared for, these pants provide remarkably warm, soft, comfortable, effective, and sanitary protection.

I also have wonderful Gary high-backed Euroflex pants, which are transparent. Very soft and pliable yet truly durable and protective. These take well to the same treatment as the rubber pants -- washing by hand in the shower after wettings or soilings (they don't get stained as do real rubber pants), followed by hand-drying and gentle radiator-time. I do wash them occasionally in the washing machine, but I never, ever dry them except by hand. They tend to develop pee odor if not washed with baby detergent in the wash once a week or so.

With my Netti PUL SuperSoft pants, I just put them right in the diaper pail with the wet or wet 'n' messy pull-on cloth diapers and wash them accordingly. The beauty of PUL pants (polyurethane laminate, with polyester) is that they breathe, allowing urine and sweat to transpire without too much leakage. (They will leak through if a diaper is flooded.) This helps to prevent the funky curdled-pee stench that can permeate vinyl or classic plastic pants.

I gather (no pun intended) the new PEVA textile, which I haven't yet tried, works well at preventing unwanted residual pee odor (I do like it too, but not if it is too skunky or ammonia-laden, and I do love clean pants) and enables the pants to be washed and dried more often and at higher temperatures without the pants' drying and cracking. Netti PUL SuperSoft pants are great because they stand up to hundreds of high-temp washings and dryings; they are made for industrial settings, as are the Gary pull-on cloth diapers -- pretty much a daily daytime combination for me.

Finally, my Salk SaniPants (a classic babyish snap-on textured poly pant with cotton leggings and a wonderful old-style waterproof liner) really require regular washing in the machine to keep them clean. They don't stain too badly (a blessing), but they develop strong odor readily, as they are surprisingly retentive yet just do not breathe very well. Overdrying will lead to cracking of the waterproof liner (reminiscent of days of multilayered baby pants from days of old), but they must spend some time with their brethren in the dryer combine, lest they never dry out and become not only redolent of pee but musty and mildewed. Yuckinesses to be avoided.

Happy nappies and snappy pants to all.

I wash mine by hand and hang them up to dry. I don't always change my pps with my diaper change just if there is excess pee or they have poo in them, but i do rinse them every day, i wash them all good and put them on the line once a week.

Rinse them in the shower and use a little bar soap or liquid hand soap. Wipe them with a towel and hang them up in the shower to dry

Wash and disinfect all your baby things after every use and if unsure of cleanliness dont use. I know adult baby things are expensive and using disinfectants does spoil them over time but the alternative is far far worse. You dont need to use strong solutions - just follow the instructions for real babies and you wont go far wrong. Any way it is not nice to have stale odours and these are made much worse by bad hygene.

I very rarely wash my plastic pants because I want them to smell like they were used by a real baby/toddler and If washed too often they get brittle and crack so very little washing.

Everytime they get wet

I wear plastic pants all the time.

I wash them every couple of days. I don't like to overwash them because I feel it's destructive, but I don't like to underwash them because atomised urea will collect on them and, if I understand correctly, eat through.

I wear cloth diapers with plastic pants.i rinse my plastic pants after every use under the hand held shower unit with hottest water and hang to dry.

I try to wash gently when i do peepee in my diapers

I rinse mine once or twice a week and let them drip dry.

I check mine every morning to see if thy are getting smelly. If they are, I wash them in the shower with soap and hang them in the bedroom to dry. I go anywhere from a couple weeks to just a day. All depending on when they get offensive.

Each day I put my plastic pants in the laundry basket and each morning my nighttime plastic pants go in. During the weekend, all my plastic pants go in the washer and then are hung up in the laundry room to air dry. There are usually about 14-16 plastic pants hanging there each weekend...

I rinse mine in the shower with me every few days. I'm a bedwetter in cloth so I should rinse them every day but I like the pee smell. I just use a little hand soap and scrub it around inside the pants till I rinse them off. Works great! Washed them once, bad idea!

I don't wash them nearly as often as I should because--like some of the others have mentioned below--I love the smell of plastic pants that have been worn all night over thick, warm, wet diapers. The pee smell gets into the elastic and when you mix that with that wonderful vinyl smell, it's great. Also, as mentioned below, I don't want them to get brittle and crack from too much washing.

I usually wear them and toss them in the corner of the closet to dry. Sometimes I'll reuse them. After I have several pairs that need washing, I do it in the shower, by hand. I have a bottle of liquid hand-washing soap that I keep in there. I rinse them off in the shower, get some of the soap and go over the entire surface inside / outside, and then gently scrub the elastic around the waist / legs. Then I hang them upside down and let them dry in the closet.

I should probably only wear them once and wash them more often. I have sensitive skin and, though I don't usually get diaper rash, I do often break out around the waist / upper legs where the elastic has been. This is probably from the accumulated pee in the elastic. Washing more often may fix that problem.

I wash my plastic baby pnts in lukewarm water by hand with just a dad of soak as if not the plastic gets hard and starts to crack and then hang either in tub or if nice outside for a short time as the rays from the sun can ruin them also

I wear my plastic plastic pants next to my skin, so it's easy just to wear them into the shower. I take them off, give them a good rinse and hang them upside down on the shower caddy, on the opposite side from the soap. After I shower I shake them out and hang them on a modified wire hanger in the other shower to finish drying.

Probably after 5 days of wearing them. I rotate the colour daily.

After 3 days of wearing them.

I wash mine once a week if my disposable diaper don't leak. If they leaked then I use a clean one. I only wear plastic pants over my nighttime diapers for bed protection.

My PUL pants get washed by hand every other day of use and no soap is used on them unless they have got wet or something unpleasant on them.

I wear PUL pants most of the time. If no leaks, I wear a pair 3 or 4 times before washing in the washer usually when I do my body suits. My wife is very sensitive about any odor of urine in our room so a leak prompts an immediate washing. Fortunately, I don’t get many leaks.

For the vinyl pants I hardly use, I wipe them off with a wet wash cloth after every second use. If there’s a leak, they get washed by hand in soap and water then hung out to dry.

I was mine by hand in the shower with a pinch of enzyme powder and dry them for 20 minutes with a towel. Those I'm wearing now most every night have lasted nearly a year and are still nearly good as new. I don't worry about stains.

I change my plastic pants everytime I change my diaper, since I have to cath 5 X's a day it makes a handy change point , I rinse my pants in cool water and my diaper goes into my pail, my last cath point is 1 am so at that point I put on my triple lined night diaper ,it's either feast or famine with my sleep disorders i can be awake continuously for weeks at a time and other times I can sleep 16 + hours , either way my night diaper has to have the capacity to go the distance if it needs to.

Normally due to a diet rich in opiates I am constipated but over the weekend something got to me and I woke up both wet & messy , it's mornings like that I thank God for my aide , because it would be even worse if I had to transfer into my chair like that instead of getting cleaned & changed in bed ( I'll leave it at it would be ugly & hours devoted to correcting it)

When they start to smell.
