staying in a d. for more than a day?
 

Hello,

I was just thinking how it would be to stay in a diaper for more than a day (perhaps a weekend). Obviously it would have to be a very STUFFED one or some huge cloth one. Have any of you tried it before? Think this could be a cool idea.

Be careful you don't go getting a rash and I would only recommend it with a very good diaper and a few inserts. I want to do it myself and I have tried but I always end up leaking :/

Really should not try it, no matter how well padded you think you are there is always the chance you will leak

raven steel is right.

after you leak, you are stuck

I've done it before, you'll want to get the most absorbant diapers you can. I don't know how it is with others but I was blessed with a funny bladder, on the average day I only go twice, and I'd put them at medium wettings. If your afraid of leaks I'd recommend double diapering (Its super fun anyway. X3) or plastic panties/pants to go over them. By the end of a 24 hour period it didn't feel so great and I was glad to change into a clean one. :\ Best of luck to you!

Almost forgot, use a good deal of powder to avoid diaper rash, as Llama stated, I got it once and it SUCKED.

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated.

So what brands would you recommend as a base (not for stuffers)? How do you think putting a few Goodnites on with slitting small holes in them to let liquid come through after awhile to the next one, and on those have incremental size up after size of large adult diapers full of stuffers? I know it would be BIG, but that is not an issue.

as long as you have bambinos there is a great way to stuff that I never have had leaked, if you cut off all but the part that absorbs from the goodnight and then cut the front plastic panel of the bambino to slide the goodnights in and then using masking tape to cover the hole in the bambino it works great from my experience, and also if youre wearing for a whole day just dont drink tons of water, only when you actually get thirsty

It really depends on how much water you are planning to drink.

I usually would fill up to the point where I would go twice a hour. No way could I stay in a diaper for a day without leaking by doing this.

If you drink none at all, your urine will be more concentrated, complete with more stink and a higher chance of irritation.

Another thing you have to worry about is the sweat you'll produce. Simply wearing for about 12 hours makes my hips itchy from the heat and lsts for about 30 mins. The plastic is twice s thick there because of the overlap. I'd powder that area every couple of hours. Cloth backed diapers at least for me do help. I know that Medline (Medline owns the brand Molicare. Go to Adult Briefs once on the site: http://www.medline.com/incontinence/) now make the Molicare Super where the sides don't have plastic. So the "wings" don't have plastic, but the rest of the diaper still does. This is only for the Super that they did this as far as I know.

Ewwwwwww......................................

But contrariwise, if you're using a diaper that has super absorbent polymers, then drinking more could actually mean LESS leaks, because those polymers don't absorb salt water very well (this is why if you wear a diaper in the pool it'll swell up like a balloon).

PS - the diaper rash wouldn't be worth it.

Plus, I actually find it really uncomfortable to wear multiple diapers for long periods...at least while sitting, they start to itch/sting/irritate along the elastic leg bands. At night it's not too bad. Personally I think it'd suck pretty bad to be stuck in diapers 24/7. I'm already stuck wearing Depends Guards throughout the day and pullups at night (sometimes also during the day) due to light bladder leakage from nerve damage and it's honestly not that much fun...although better than soggy underpants.

well, the organic polymers used to make diapers absorbent are designed to bond with water, so you are right to an extent, but you would still pee out the same amount of salt either way, its just more water would accompany it.

There's a word for it, it's called um...well it's the property where something of high concentration will seek to level out with something of low concentration. Like how you marinate meat, the meat is low concentration and the marinate is really high, so the meat then absorbs the marinate in order to equal out the concentration...I believe it's called diffusion.

So as such the salt content in your urine isn't actually separate from the water and the more water you drink the less concentrated your urine is with salt and, thus, the easier/faster it can be absorbed (by the super absorbent polymers).

This how they do fake tests on diaper commercials, with the mysterious "blue liquid" where they take like a test tube and turn it upside down to show you how "superior" their diaper is at absorbing quickly...but the one they use on their diaper is usually just straight water with food coloring where as the competitor's product is done by adding a bunch of salt into the mix (which makes it more like urine) and as such it absorbs much slower.

The diaper will still absorb it, just not as well and not as fast. But, on the flip side, if you drink more water, then you're going to wet more, and you may wet more than what the diaper is capable of handling. So on the one hand you could leak by peeing too fast or in the wrong position, not giving it time enough to absorb concentrated urine, but then on the other side you may just flood it completely by having too much urine. So you kind of have to find a balance.

How you wet, your gender, body shape and what position you're in also plays a big part. Like if you started out the day sitting and you're a guy, then you'll be more wet up front and mostly dry in the back. So later in the day when you wet you might want to lay down on your back, which would then use up the back part of the diaper.

This is why I usually don't wear a diaper during the day for when I leak, because it's mostly all in the front, because I'm a guy (guys wet in front, girls in the middle), so if I wear a regular diaper then the whole back half of the diaper usually winds up wasted unless I swap it around and put it on backwards...although that's not really very comfortable, especially if the front is already really wet. At night, because I'm laying down at can move from my stomach to my back I can wear a regular diaper or pull-up and make use of the whole thing, so it's not really wasted at all.

that would be osmosis. =p
its where water moves through a semipermeable membrane to an area with a lower concentration.
or when you arent talking about water, it would be called diffusion.

any more thoughts? Bump...

Well, I have tried. It never works out though. I plan on wearing all day but several things tend to happen.

1. I have to go number 2, with the diaper already on, I am very likely to use it and end up having to change, or I will take the diaper off and use the toilet. Depending on the diaper, taking it off could mean the end of it.

2. Taking a shower means taking the diaper off, so again depending on the diaper ... you may not be able to get it back on properly due to the tapes.

3. Taking off a diaper at all just plain kills it for me. It doesn't feel the same once you put it back on.

4. The smell eventually builds up, I myself can't deal with it once it gets to a certain point.

5. Unexpected surprises, such as visits from friends or family. Unexpected errands such as going to the store.

6. I wet to much and it eventually leaks. Once a diaper leaks, it's all over and again it kills it for me. No sense in wearing the diaper in the first place if you plan on wetting your pants.

7. It begins to become uncomfortable. Like being in water for an extended amount of time. Constantly checking to make sure you are not leaking. Sweating to much. Itchy. Possible rash if not careful.

Anyway, the longest I had a wet diaper on was probably about 4 or 5 hours. After that, I couldn't stand it any longer. It could actually make me hate wearing diapers if it was required.

well after reading the other posts i relized what you wanted to hear all i can tell you is that ive had a full week that my parents went on a cruise for there aniversery so i bought 2 packs of diapers and wore them non stop all week but when used them i changed imeadeatly so i dident get a rash but i still did and it wasent the best feeling but i still wore them the rest of the week and on the day before they got back i had like 6 diapers left and i just layered them and thats the best feeling ive ever had. want the feeling of being a baby that cant walk thats that right there lol

I've done it, very fun. Just stay at home for a day/only go out early in the day so you won't leak in public, if you do leak at all.
