Can you reuse an old diaper?

[JessicaB123]

I ran out of diapers and have a diaper that’s been hidden away (I’m 18 and live at home) for about two weeks now.

I flooded it but it didn’t start leaking, so I’m sure it can hold more if I wet it again.

Any dangers since it’s already wet?

Well, if you put it away after you used it and are trying to reuse it, I don't think it'd be a good idea since other bacteria could've climbed into the dirty diaper. If you mean you had an old diaper that you haven't used because you switched brands, i would say it's ok to use and wet. The worst is it could leak if used too much. But that's it.

Chances are it’s polluted with bacteria but hey, whatever floats yer boat.

If it was only a day or two old I wouldn't worry much, but 2 weeks is too long.

If I'm understanding you right that it's a wet diaper that's been sitting around for 2 weeks... eww, no. Aside from it probably smelling horrible by this point, it's had all kinds of time for god knows what to grow in it. As a general rule, don't leave diapers sitting around more than a day or two before disposing of them in the trash. Otherwise the smell is going to build up.

Two week old wee? I'd say no way. Go with a towel and groceries bag if your that desperate to play.

 

[BrattyPrincessSophie]

Disposable? No way! Cloth? Yes if you wash it first.

I have a diaper that’s been hidden away for about two weeks

Just NO!!

Would eat food that has been sitting out for two weeks?
Would you wear a dirty sweaty shirt that has been in the hamper for two weeks?

 

[casualdiaper]

Yeah that is just a bad idea all around.

Bad news especially for a female.

You will end up having to have a very awkward conversation with your doctor about how you contracted a serious UTI.
DO NOT reuse wet or soiled nappies, even if you’re male. Urine is only sterile for about 8 minutes, then it begins to grow bacteria. After 24 hours it’s a Petri dish. After 2 weeks it’s a biohazard.

Please do not reuse a 2 week old used diaper I guarantee you that has all sorts of nasty things growing in it

 

[KitsuneFox]

You could end up with severe skin irritation if you try to use the diaper for very long ... be aware you will need to clean your diaper area VERY WELL after you get done .

( yes I re-used diapers in my teen years - a lot )

EAsy if it a cloth diaper put it in the washer, then after that hang it out to dry.

 

[DannyBBaby]

I wash my cloth diapers so I can reuse them all the time.

Depending on whether you do your own washing you could get https://www.nappiesrus.co.uk/plastic-pants/training-pants.
I guessing not as you are a TB/DL

but no to two-week-old diapers Kiddo. would you eat two-week-old pizza?

you will end up with an infection,

 

[Floofywoof]

Only if you get your talking dog to clean it up cause you are stuck in a bank vault for the weekend.

Throw it away and get more diapers. Even if you can't buy more diapers, you should not reuse old diapers if you value your urinary tract. I've had kidney stones cause me UTIs before and trust me when I say you don't want 'em.

 

[rocketman]

Why woukd you want to?

 

[rocketman]

And there are reusable diapers- cloth. I'm not saying get clith or don't, but if you're looking for a reusable alternative....
