I am always careful to not let on how much I know about diapers, in any setting I'm in. I usually just stay quiet, keep my mouth shut.Iroh said:Yeah... that knowledge, has got me in awkward situations in work, both when I was a Lifeguard and a Community Carer who knew particular things about diapers
I think your stories deserve to be shared, lol.Iroh said:Yeah... that knowledge, has got me in awkward situations in work, both when I was a Lifeguard and a Community Carer who knew particular things about diapers

Yeah, thats now the norm, or a pre-planned excuse for rapid fire questions, oh it was for this family member, or my niece did this...TigerDL said:

The life guard one happened a couple of times, just patroling the pool and headcounts and seen children running around (thats a no no anyway on those slippery ass tiles) but with regular diapers full to the hilt with water. I've gone up to the parents just to advise them about the diapers expanding, the risk to the child sinking, the discomfort to the child, the pool if it bursts and sap goes in the filters and bigger issues with #2's. We didn't sell little swimmers or splash about swim nappies but I recommended them and the parents were like "oh your really knowlagable about that" and I'm like sheeet. Like some of those details are well known, but not about the discomfort and weight thing, like how would I know that
Rather hypocritically I've swam while padded, but have had a nappy cover on underneath my shorts to catch any sap explosion, I know it works after "experimenting" in the shower
The carer one was a one off, I was talking to a colleague about a patient with their next of kin, and I just said the brand that they were being supplied wasn't the best, leaked often and was relatively expensive for the amount in the pack, I said alternatives and mentioned a supplier in the town they could get them from and the tax exemption savings and my collegue looked at me weirdly. The clients next of kin however was extatic with savings and an appropriate product.
Its the pool safety ones I'll never forget, when your talking to the parent and you have that anime sweat drop go down the side of your head, in reality its actual sweat as it was 35c in the room and walking around fully clothed you wanted to melt.
Did CPR on someone in that room, sweat was teaming down me to the point I ripped my glasses off and flung down the walkway. A bystander asked my collegue (who was frozen in place) is this the victims glasses, I was like the samurai jack scotsman "Ahh No LUV, they're mine!"

Samuel Jackson? Samurai anime? Great comic! Forgot the name... mmm..
OK!Iroh said:
Well… I guess. But I doubt nurses and CNAs are ever taught how to diaper themselves. Surely that’s not a professional skill.qwertyqwerty said:
Might I just suggest that if you want to avoid it seeming too awkward just say something along the lines of "oh it's something they tell us about in are life guard training refresher courses as it's been found to be a safety concern"Iroh said:Yeah, thats now the norm, or a pre-planned excuse for rapid fire questions, oh it was for this family member, or my niece did this...

That's great that you go to the trouble to research information that is so helpful to your patients and their families. They don't need to know your research techniques.Iroh said:We didn't sell little swimmers or splash about swim nappies but I recommended them and the parents were like "oh your really knowlagable about that" and I'm like sheeet.

I'm a bit jealous of you and the fact that you have a community big enough to have little ones and newbies that you are helping diaper!SuperMaidRavi said:I always found fascinating how hard it was to master taping up diapers to get the best fit... and how exciting it was for me to finally find out how to tape on the diaper properly
100% agree that the thing isn't as easy as it looks! But I it's so fun to scold "diaper newbies" for their poor tapejobs whenever I RP as a teacher
Did you teach her by showing her or just describing it? There has to be more to this story, lol.SisterOlive said:
