Hey, I was wondering the average time one could wear a pee'd diaper before developing diaper rash? I usually try to change after 3ish hours in an attempt to possibly avoiding a diaper rash. Any one know about the average time?
All depends. There really is no average. It depends on:
-How well you take care of your skin/clean up in general.
-How often wet diapers stay on your skin usually.
-How much physical activity you're doing.
-The temperature outside.
-Diet.
During the winter, when I'm well-lotioned, well-powdered, barrier creamed up and all that jazz, I can stay in a
messy diaper for upwards of 16+ hours with no skin repercussions. In the summer when it's 75 and humid, I'm in a plastic-backed diaper, I just had to walk to the store to get milk, and I started sweating because I ran up the stairs to me 3rd floor flat.. I could get pre-rash "itchy" after an hour. Turning red and irritated in 90 minutes.
If you want to increase the amount of time you can comfortably stay in wet/messy diapers:
1. Take care of your skin - This is such a big and unfortunately overlooked deal. I didn't get my padded skincare routine down until I went fulltime for a few months and dreaded rashes. I spent over a decade as an ABDL previous to that time destroying my poor behind by not taking care of it!
2. Air condition. Humidity of any kind is the enemy of diaper-on-skin longevity. If it opens your pores (heat/humidity), it gets urine/feces into your skin. This is the main mechanism of skin infection.
3. Moisturize every single day. Preferably every single change. Use a lot of lotion, seriously. Dry skin is another boss-level enemy of long-term squishyness. Same mechanism. Cracks in dry skin get the bacteria right in there.
4. Drink water or neutral beverages. Acidic things like coffee or juice may give your urine more bite, thus decreasing your Safe Time.. But either way, it's all better than being on the dehydrated side. The more concentrated urine is, the quicker it will burn you and lead to possible skin infection.
Just the daily, between-diapers skincare routine will likely double your skin endurance. I have very sensitive skin as well. If I get it right, never a problem.
