How often do you change your diaper?

I am sure this has been asked here many a time in the past but I haven't seen it recently. My aim is to change as little as possible as doing otherwise would defeat the benefits of wearing, I don't usually wear 24/7 but if I did I think I would go for one for night and three for day.

If changing defeats the purpose of wearing, why change at all?

I usually start the day in my still wet night time nappy and change when I'm ready to go out and then again maybe at lunch time or early afternoon. Then again sometimes in the evening or sometimes just before bed.

Sounds pretty much like me with maybe one more change in there on most days.

It depends on how absorbent your diapers are. A bambino bianco with a booster pad will last the whole day. A less absorbent diaper probably needs changing half way tghrough the day. No change is really possible at night.

I'm in high school and have been in diapers since grade school. Sometimes I don't wear diapers to school but most of the time I have to. For a time recently I had to change them3 or 4 times a day. I kept a stock of diapers and a few pair of plastic panties in with the school nurse who knew about my issue. I started doing that after I had wet in the same diaper three times once and had to call my mother who sent my sister to school with fresh diapers and plastic panties. If I'm dry when I get home I keep the same diaper on and if not I change. Sometimes when its really warm I wear a pair of nylon panties with a womens' overnight pad. Its much cooler.

If you're in high school, I don't believe you're old enough to be participating on this site.

I change first thing in the morning and shower. If I'm going to be out and about where restroom availability is questionable, I'll put on diaper first thing otherwise l'll wear briefs. I carry a supply of diapers in the trunk of my car and a change of pants in case of accidents or when the diaper I'm wearing is wet and needs changing.

Cloth or disposables?

Correct Jimmy J & thank you. .this needs to be confirmed as age 18 is the determinant

I normally change right after I get up in the morning and then again once in the evening

Normally after morning shower, then in the evening. No more than three times.

I have the benefit of never getting any sort of diaper rash at all. I would say I am wet about 80% of the time. I wear thick cloth diapers with plasmtic pants every night. I only need two disposables during the day but that's because I only use the thickest and most absorbent diapers out there. I easily get 8-10 hours out of my diapers.

I'm incontinent and I change when it's not safe for my diaper to get any wetter. This is usually about 4 diapers every 24 hours.

If I wear a pad in it, I can get by with changing about four times a day. If I run out, it can easily be six or more times

I usually change 3 or 4 times a day. I change twice maybe three times during the day if I am out and about. I then use two terry nappies folded kite fashion at night that gives me at least 12 hours before there is any worries about leaking.

Usually 3 x a day, sometimes 4 or even 5. I’ve found some great products that work really well for me. I can’t say enough about North Shore Supreme and Air Supreme diapers. I typically put one on at 7 am and go until about 5 pm without having to change. When not at work I normally use an Abena M3 pull up or a Tena Super Stretch brief. They are both absorbent and work with an active lifestyle.

I still get the occasional leak and at work I’m not always in control of when I can change, but I’ve done well with all of these.

If I'm soaked or have a bowel accident or believe I'm in a situation where my diaper is currently kind of wet to the point I might be out and unable to change before leaking.

I change my diaper as often as necessary to feel clean, comfortable and secure. It doesn't make sense to stay in a wet or messy diaper just to save on diapers or diaper changes. The risk of getting diaper rash or a UTI isn't worth it, never mind the risk of a leaking diaper or smelling bad, etc. As a full time 24/7 diaper-wearer, comfort is the most important thing to me followed closely by feeling secure from leaks and smelling stinky. For these reasons alone, cloth diapers with good waterproof panties make the most sense for me most of the time - unless I am traveling or going someplace where the convenience of disposable diapers is an overriding concern. I probably go through at least six or seven diaper changes every day and sometimes more if needed. Yes, it is a lot of diapers and waterproof panties; but since I have them in my layette, why not use them. That is what I have them for!

I wear my still wet night time diaper during breakfast then shower. I change when I'm ready to go out. At lunch time I go to the gym, sometimes I do my training in a fresh diaper, other times I wear regular underwear (and have to go plenty times to the restroom because of my overactive bladder). Then I change again after shower, before having a lunch and going back to work. Then I change again sometimes in the evening and the last changing is just before bed. So, it is usually about 4 diapers a day.

LLusually I only change my diapers if there soild that is to say flooded with urine or worse, I tend to use diapers more than once if there clean before disposing of them in the trash/rubbish bin.

I often wear them for hours at a time because if they are clean then why waste them also it helps keep the cost down as I don't have to keep buying them and it's better for the environment, I use disposable ones because I am allergic to certain fabrics and because ther'e more absorbent and comfortable.

Hope this awnser's your questions

Since my last posting I've started to change more often. I can get by my normal two disposable diapers with booster pads for the cooler months.

Since the summer heat started a little earlier and hotter temperatures than normal this summer I started doing a complete diaper change mid day. When it's that hot out and by working outdoors all day, I need to stay hydrated therefore drinking lots of fluids puts my diaper over it's limit. It's also an invitation to a nasty diaper rash which I got earlier. I'm still using my normal daytime diaper combination, powder and rash cream, just doing an extra total clean up diaper change mid day. Therefore I'm changing a least three times a day.

It's about 11:30 pm. I put this diaper on last night about this time. I wore it all day and peed a little in it 6 or 7 times today. My wife went to bed about 30 minutes ago and I've been slowly releasing pee into it ever since. It's getting pretty soaked by now and I'm enjoying the warmth and wetness of my pee. I will finish filling it, enjoy wearing it a while longer and change to a clean diaper before going to bed. I will repeat this tomorrow and most days except those days I can fill it while still in bed in the morning. (That means my wife has left the house before I get out of bed.)

I often change my diapers as soon as they leak or after I completely poop in them. I don't stay in them for long and I give my diaper butt air time in between changes. I have a schedule of when I change my diaper and it usually starts off in the morning when I get up to pee, I take them off and shower. After shower, I put my diaper on and stay in them until after lunch for a diaper check to see if I need to change. If I do, then I would change them, if not I stay in them until after dinner time. After Dinner, I would change into them for the evening and bed time.

Usually as soon as it starts getting too wet or messed up and before it start smelling, although I have been caught out on a number of times which is highly embarrasing.

I wear diapers because of personal reasons I have written about before so I won't go over it again, anyway sort of gotten used to them as I feel like they are my psychological time machine, while my body can't physically regress to a baby/infant my mind can.

Like most people I lead an ordinary life and having incontinence problems really sucks, although it's not going to ruin my life and I kind of view it as my 2nd childhood as I was in diapers as a child see my earlier blog for details.

I change two or three times a day, depending of what diaper I'm wearing, and how much I wet. My nighttime diaper I stays in until I have had my first mug of coffee, its usually soaked and in need of a change, so I usually also poop in it, before heading to the shower.

Depending on my bowel cooperation as far as timing 5-9 times a day ,I have to catheterize every four hours ,so since I am I am having my clothing and diapers opened anyway ,its a good change point ,my diapers absorbentcy is never a question, as i wear more diaper than i need day or night in the event i cant be changed on schedule or i drink more than normal or an aide calls in . I wear cloth diapers so weather it gets the whole bladder and bowel thing or just wet ,they get washed every 2 or 3 days .

I mess 4X's a day ,so if the catheter timing . and mess time coincide ,naturally I use fewer diapers . My day to day schedule changes based on my sleep ,which changes when I take my bowel management medication and that changes when my bowels move.

At least four times a day but some days are better than others. I have some days when I seem to pee large amounts constantly and as soon as I put a dry diaper on I’m wet again in no time. I don’t routinely poop in my diaper but I’ve recently been having accidents more frequently and when that happens I change immediately whenever possible.

I am usually good for 1 to 3 changes in a day. I do not wear a very thick cloth diaper so it gets changed after one wetting. I try to use them only for the times I am unable to get to a toilet soon after the urge hits.

I normally wear 3 diapers each day. I wear 1 during the day and 2 at night (at the same time). At night, I cut slits in the outer layer of the inner diaper. That way, I can pee in it more and the excess pee will be absorbed by the outer diaper. The more wet diaper between my legs, the better.
