Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I've been diapered 24/7 since 2006 and generally know from experience when I need to change. At the very least I change my diaper every 3 to 4 hours during the day, and occasionally I'll need to change once at night. I use the ConfiDry 24/7 with a booster pad (large for daytime and extra-large for nighttime) and plastic pants. This is a good combination for me, so if I don't push the changes too far I seldom leak.

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I change when I start to stink

which to be fair is quite a lot

even in a dry clean nappy I'm smelly

maybe 3/4 times per day

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I really don't think people can smell a wet nappy as much as you think... I mean, we must have all been around adults in wet nappies on many occasions and not noticed. Unless you're very intimate with someone, they're unlikely to notice anything until well after you do so yourself.

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I never have an odor. I use wet wipes in between showers and also wipe with cocoanut oil. I have urinary incontinence only. I do wear pull-ups and pads. Probably 4 pads and 2 pull-ups a day. Had 4 failed bladder surgeries. 3 mesh slings and 4th and last "Burch" slings. Yes.. many problems with the mesh and all three were from different manufacturers!

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

Several times. Most times wet in the mornings if not usually will be soon as I stand up. Then change my pull ups. Do diapers at night. Several times a day. I also hate being wet

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I don't change my diaper very often. I change about 2 or 3 diapers per day

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

5-6 times a day. It’s expensive and I am totally tired of dealing with urinary incontinence and worrying about leakage, smelling, and cost. My PCP has referred me to a urologist. I am hoping he has something more to offer than pills and PT, both of which I have tried. I have leakage even wearing the pull up disposables. Am sick of having to change clothes so often and doing laundry all the time. I am on Lasix daily which makes problem worse I’m sure.

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I have started using pads inside the disposable diaper. That way I just change the pad which costs less but still have full protection just in case.

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

For me it depends on whether im home or at work.. or out an about. It also depends on whether im wearing a mid-range disposable or a premium. Right now I use cloth almost exclusively so they are more absorbent than what Medicaid provides. The amount of Leakage can vary quite a bit from a few spurts to a flood that can shame any diaper not of premium quality. Thankfully the cloth system I use can easily be adapted for lighter days or heavier days with ease.

Re: how often do you change your nappy?

I change every few hours if my diaper is leaking or if I pooped my diaper I change it.
