I've heard that term boosters and pads added to being daipered but I personally never have used them. I would like to know more about using these items.
Well there are Boosters (ones that dont need to be modified, just put a diaper on with a booster between you and the Diaper)
And there are Stuffers, which is anything not meant to be used as a booster, but which can increase overall absorbency and make for a more satisfying experience
With a Stuffer (anything not sold as a booster) you will need to open the diaper you are gonna wear and "Stuff" it with a Baby Diaper, Sleep Pants (like Goodnites) or anything else that could add extra absorbency;
ideally you want to place a Stuffer above all the absorbent material of the Diaper you will wear, but not in contact with you
Either you can cut the outside of the Stuffer, or you may not need to if there is still space around the outside of the Stuffer so it has adequate space to eventually leak to the diaper you are wearing (but not past that unless you wear the Diaper for way too long)
The above picture shows where you would place a booster, which is essentially the core of a diaper no backing, or leak guards, or sides
A Stuffer on the other hand should be placed between the part of a Diaper that touches you and the absorbent parts of the Diaper you are wearing.
As for how I put a diaper on myself, with 4 tape diapers i like to put the bottom tapes barely on the landing strip
then I can pull up the diaper, put the top tapes on snug, then tighten the bottom tapes and if needed put the top tapes on a little tighter
With a 2 tape diaper I like to put it close to me, put one side on snug, then do the other side, and carefully redo one or both sides tighter to make sure its snug
I like both 2 and 4 tape Diapers, but 2 tape diapers you have to be careful with, if one side gets ripped that's it, if it loses stickiness it can still be used with tape over the Diaper Tapes
