How to Avoid Diaper Rash and How to Treat It

Here are some preventive measures you can take to avoid getting diaper rash.

Keep the area clean and dry as much as you can. Wearing high quality diapers will help keep your skin feeling dry. Gently clean your diaper area with baby or adult wipes, then pat the skin dry rather than rubbing. If you’re still new to wearing diapers or wearing diapers 24/7, you can try using barrier creams or ointments. Apply a thin layer of a protective barrier cream or ointment down in your diaper area, such as zinc oxide or petroleum jelly, to create a barrier between the skin and moisture. Do be careful; a little goes a long way. The scent of those kinds of products could also give you away in public so please use these products conservatively.

Ensure that the diaper fits properly and is not too tight or too loose. Opt for breathable and absorbent materials to minimize moisture build-up like cotton or other breathable clothes, especially during the summer months. Wash your hands before and after changing the adult diaper to reduce the risk of infection or irritation.

If you do develop a diaper rash, keep the area clean. Gently cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh soaps or wipes that contain alcohol or fragrance, as they can worsen the rash. Stop wearing diapers temporarily if you can and allow the skin to breathe. Whenever possible, expose the affected area to air to promote healing. If you need to wear diapers, you can simply sit somewhere comfy at home and sit on top of an open diaper on top of a pad. Use a protective barrier cream or ointment, such as zinc oxide or a product specifically formulated for diaper rash, to soothe the skin and create a protective barrier against further irritation.

Messy Diaper Challenge Update: June 2025!

 I know it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Terribly sorry about that! I assure you that I haven’t deviated from the challenge, nor have I touched a potty anywhere at any time. This challenge started on July 26, 2021, which was 3 years, 10 months, and 13 days ago. I’m so close to my 4 year anniversary! Currently, the challenge ends on July 10, 2026, but I don’t think you guys will let me stop.  (Pretty please don’t let me stop; I love this challenge) I had my first messing around my friends at my new place last weekend for my housewarming party. We got chinese takeout and something in the food didn't sit right with my tummy, so I excused myself to the bathroom, squatted down, and did the deed in my diaper as I had no other option. I had the fan on to make some background noise. Afterwards, I cleaned myself up and changed into a fresh diaper that I had stashed under the sink. While the friends I invited over know I need diapers, they don't know about my messing cha...

The Basics of Diaper Training

1: Throw away all of your underwear (but keep your bras if you’re a lady!). This leaves you nothing but diapers to wear as underwear, and as we all know, wearing nothing down there can lead to some irritation. Not good for princess parts! Throwing away all of your undies ensures that you’ll have to wear diapers, and nothing but diapers. If you want to truly commit to this, then do that, or if you’re on the fence about it and want to try it out, stash all of your undies in a backpack or something that you can lock or put a lock on, then give that key to your bestie and have them not give it back until a week, two weeks, a month, or however long you feel like! 1a. Buy a large supply of diapers. I chose to go with the Abena M4 for starters, and have kept with it all the way through. For when you start dribbling (see below!), you can switch to a thinner diaper, like the cloth backed Abena M2. For lighter days, I’ve found that tena makes some decent diapers, same with Tranquility/Select...

How to Accept Yourself as a Bedwetter

Reconciling bedwetting with yourself can be challenging, but here are a few suggestions to help you adapt to your new normal as a bedwetter. Identify as a bedwetter at the start of your training. That means you would have to wear diapers to bed every single night. If you spent a lot of time training today/last week/last month, surely you wouldn’t feel too confident about your level of control at night. Bedwetting is more common than you might think, affecting people of all ages. Recognize that it is a physiological issue and not a reflection of personal failure or inadequacy. Remember, bedwetting is good for you and will help make you become dependent on diapers faster. Accepting the need for adult diapers or other protective measures can provide reassurance and help manage bedwetting effectively. Modern adult diapers and protective bedding options are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and highly absorbent, ensuring you can sleep comfortably and minimize any potential discomfort or...
