How long do you use each diaper for?

How small is your waist?

Currently my waist is around 35". Obviously I can no longer wear a baby-sized diaper like I could still wear when I was a super skinny 12-14 year old. Man! Those were the days... when I could still fit into a toddler Pampers diaper!

So when I want to wear my vintage Pampers diapers I make a "me-sized" Pampers diaper by taping together three toddler sized Pampers baby diapers to form one big vintage Pampers diaper that I can wear.

You can see some photos here:

Fanfold disposables for adults?

That's how the early adult diapers were as well even after infant diapers went to the fitted shape. You can still find some as the "Kendall Ables" diaper.

Lately I've been getting diapers with 7000+ ml capacity, then adding a 2500 ml doubler. They can last up to 16 or 18 hours, but I usually use 2 per day. When I want a really thick diaper I add a 2nd doubler, and it will last me 22 hours or so. Could last longer, but let's be realistic. I'm a big guy, so I drink more than 1 gallon per day.

I'm in diapers 24/7 and use them for intended purposes, being 100per cent UIC, partially bowel incontinent. Also, I generally wear MegaMax diapers plus northshore booster pad and plastic pants. With this, I usually can go 8 hours between diaper changes. Obviously there will always be exceptions. Like Sunday mornings I may not change for a few hours after getting up. Or a sudden messy accident, which results in a change fairly quickly. All told though, never less than three diapers per day, so that's three; sometimes however, might change after just a couple hours.

I normally get about 6 hours of capacity from each diaper. At that time, I need to change or I risk a leak. The only time I get less use from my diaper is when I mess myself. I try to change as soon as possible.

Hi everyone, just wondering how long does everyone leave on/ use each diaper for?.
I on average, depending on the brand, will use each one for about 6 to 8 hours on average.

I’ll wear a Abena m4 all through the night and rarely have to change till the morning. In the daytime I wear pull ups and I change my pull ups anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.

I generally wear my diaper until it's full and I'm empty haha

I don't really go by hours...I generally wear a morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight diaper. I change when I wake up, anytime after a mess, after lunch, before dinner, and before bed.

If I’m wearing my Little for Big nappies I can wet them twice before I need to change - although I always wear plastic or rubber pants too, to make sure there are no leaks.

Once the front is soaked and it starts stretching out to the point where it's uncomfortable I'll change even though the back is still dry. When I mess I'll usually change after 2 wetting. I can't stand a completely soaked diaper that's sagging to my knees and keeping me feeling wet.

As long as possible, sometimes a day and a half. If I have messed it though usually only a few hours as it starts to irritate my skin. I use high capacity diapers.

8-10 a day, plus my nighttime ATN

The length of time I wear a diaper is predicated on how wet I am and the quality/absorbency of the diaper. I have a broad range from 4 hours to 12 hours.

Yes,

Yes, they're very expensive, but if you're making money, you should get a pack. I'm very happy with them. They're great quality. They don't crumble on the inside as others have stated, at least not with me.

How ever large do they get when full? - they must be enormous and incredibly noticeable

Just woke up and had a good wet. Will let you know how long I wear it for after I wake up again.

As long as possible. I'm huge fan of thick diapers. Rearz Safari with 6-8 Attends boosters make it really thick and give me a nice waddle. Plastic pants during night is a necessity, I don't change until they're full, 12-15 hours

 

[briefman1]

I wear until they are just about to leak. Can be an hour or two or as long as 5 or 6 hours depending on how much I drink. Also depends on how time I have to wear as no one knows I like to wear.

They hold pretty tight around my waist. The landing zone helps with sagging. They get pretty thick when full, but I don't usually go out with a diaper that's near that stage, so I say let it sag and swell all it wants. They get pretty large. I can't wait to get another pack when I'm back home. I know they're expensive, but I can afford a splurge 1 more time on those

I usually wear a diaper from whenever I put one on for the day till it's full, but not over capacity. So I have to make sure that I don't use it more the same day, or add in a soaker if I intend on keeping it on much longer. In any case, I wear a pair of plastic pants over the diaper to prevent leaks.
