In the beginning stages of diaper training, you’re probably used to changing whenever your diaper gets soggy. You probably do this to save money and make each diaper count. Isn’t it awesome feeling soggy? Feeling that sense of accomplishment from filling your diaper all the way?
You have to stop trying to get the most value out of each diaper. Diapers are here to be used and to take care of your needs. Because of this, changing on a schedule is a fantastic idea to not only incentivize you to drink enough to fully saturate your diaper before you change, it’ll also ensure that you maintain your skin and genital health. Try setting a changing schedule no more than 6 hours apart during the day. If you have a job where you work in an office, start changing your diaper on your lunch break no matter what and then again once you get home, even if you’re dry.
A potential changing schedule could look something like this. Change it to your needs and schedule as needed:
- Wake up, shower, then change into diaper 1 for work.
- Change into diaper 2 at lunch.
- When you get home, shower, then change into diaper 3.
- Train heavily in the evening and then change into diaper 4 to continue training.
- Change into diaper 5 for bedwetting when you go to bed.
By putting yourself on a changing schedule, not only do you keep your skin and genitals healthy, you also keep yourself from smelling. I’ve always recommended wiping your diaper area down with baby wipes in between every change for exactly this reason and to help clean your skin of any bacteria or other contaminants. Sweat, heat, urine, and friction all combine to potentially cause infections and rashes, so the more actions you take to prevent these nasty things, the longer you can stay diapered and the faster your training can happen.
In order to maintain high skin and genital health, I’ve also always recommended to get rid of the hair in your diaper area. This includes anywhere your diaper touches. I don’t recommend shaving because it can easily cut or nick your skin, leaving openings for bacteria and other nasty material to get inside your open wound. What I recommend is finding a bikini line trimmer and to gently use that to keep your diaper area neat. You don’t need to completely rid yourself of body hair down there, but you absolutely need to trim it down as short as it can go. Ridding yourself of body hair in this manner also helps you stay smelling fresh because hair holds onto liquids like sweat and pee. When body hair holds onto your sweat and pee, the chances of rashes start going up the longer you wear the same diaper, too.
You should find a diaper that you’re able to use up most of the way by the time your scheduled change rolls around. This may be a diaper that’s around 3k or 4k mls rather than the thicker options. There’s no point in wearing a diaper that has a lot of absorbency left if it starts to hurt you, right? Some people like to stay in diapers past when they should have changed because they want to get their money’s worth out of it, potentially damaging their skin and genital health because they wouldn’t want to waste a perfectly good diaper. It’s just safer to change yourself.
Furthermore, wearing a diaper that’s about to leak will make your bladder’s muscles clamp down because your body is afraid of leaks. Have you ever experienced this? You probably already have many times before. It’s the same feeling of being in bed with a full bladder; you know you aren’t supposed to wet in bed without a diaper so your bladder kept itself held shut on its own. Finding that perfect diaper for your needs is part of the journey, but the journey is what makes all of this fun.
Lastly, introduce cranberry juice into your diet. It helps maintain bladder health and it has a nice side effect of making you pee more. Drinking more than one glass will make you need to poop, though, so be careful!
