Hospital diapers, your experiences?

[Jabo]

I used a hospital diaper once and the damn thing not only leaked but also fell apart, that was fun. Ever since then if I needed diapers in the hospital I brought my own.

We use Attends here, so they aren't bad. I've also seen Tena used.

I haven't had any experience with hospital diapers while in a hospital. I came close to asking for one last time I was in b/c they put me on a morphine drip and my body went totally numb. I laid there like that for several hours, and honestly had I needed to go I would have probably wet the bed. However I guess I was dehydrated enough at the time that the need never arose.

The ones we use in my ER suck. They fit poorly and are difficult to get onto patients, often because most of the patients I am trying to put them on are very obese and the diapers aren't the proper size for them. We use Pampers for the younger kids. I have diapered a couple of 5 year olds with them, but am not really sure what I would do if I had a patient over 45 pounds or so. I guess I would call the pharmacy or materials management.

I have live a very fortunate life so far health wise that is. I have been in the hospital only twice(if you count being born there). Other than that I was in the hospital when I was around 4 or 5 for a operation on my eye. This was in the early 60s and in a Army hospital in Hawaii(my father was stationed there for 3 years in the Marines). I was a bed wetter and was diapered 24/7 for my stay there. I remember the nurse changing my wet diapers and asking if I needed to go poop. I would normally get up and try I did not like to mess in my diapers back then(I still don't). I think I was there for 3 or 4 days and was glad to see my parents when they came to take me home. I remember running down this long hallway to my mothers open arms all the while in a wet diaper and very loud and crackly plastic pants. When I got home I was made to stay on the couch during the day and kept diapered to keep things dry except my bottom! This also happened when I was hit by a car a few months later. I was rushed by Ambulance to the local Dispensary(clinic) on base and found to be ok to go home. I spent about a week on the couch and was diapered 24/7 again.

I've only been to the hospital for CT scans and MRI's. I have never been admitted though

British Hospital diapers happen to rock. All of my diapers that I currently own have come from a hospital.

My aunty mailed them to me. The Tena Super Plus pull-ups she sent me can't even hold a single heavy wetting which disappointed me immensely, but the others that she's mailed me have been amazing.

I can't read some of my own posts without them sounding so fake that it scares me...

i had a knee reconstruction a month ago (torn main ligament in right knee,i had the ligament replaced with some of my ham-string)
i wasn't nervous at all.

when i woke up i was in the hospital in some sort of ward, when a nurse saw i was awake she checked my morphine drip and water drip and stuff like that.later i had food and when i went to bed i asked if i could wear something because i wet the bed,the nurse(who i admit was pretty hot) braught me a diaper(Tena Slip Maxi Medium) and asked if i needed help putting it on, i said yes i need help putting it on because i dont want to risk of leaking so she closed the big curtain thing and i pulled my boxers down nervously and she said lift your butt and she put it under me and taped the taped to the front,after that she opened the curtain and i put the quilt thing back on me and took my boxers off(since i was wearing a diaper).i drank about like 2 litres of water that night because i had a dry throat from the air conditioning,i wet in the diaper until it leaked and asked for a diaper change,the nurse changed me and my sheets.i had 3 changes that night.i watched tv all day next day and later that day(or night you could say) i asked for another diaper cause i wet the bed and a nurse put one on me(a large one this time).basically the same thing happened the next day and than i went home.i stayed home from school for 3 weeks afterwards =)
i accept constructive critisicm for tips on how to post better.
p.s.i stuffed my knee at the end of last year i had to hold my knee on cause i had to walk to the office(every time i stepped my knee dislocated so i held it on )when i got there they rang my parents and i went to hospital(it hurt HEAPS)

this is from my other post.Link here:i had a knee reconstraction a while ago...

cheap plastic bags filled with Kleenex is the way I would describe hospital diapers, at least at Kaiser. I also realized the other day why some nursing homes and hospitals use depends instead of Abena or thicker diapers, is because the residents don't want to be stuck in wet diapers all day so they change them as soon as they're wet, in good nursing homes at least.
