That's close to the basic understanding I get from the recommendations too. Though I believe your estimating is a little off. As I understand it, it should be more like this: Crystal clear: too much water, ok to cut back some Almost transparent: well hydrated, keep it just like that Light yellow: slightly dehydrated, you should probably drink more Yellow: dehydrated, you need to drink a LOT more. Dark yellow: severly dehydrated, get yourself to the hospital.

Do you use handicap restrooms to change your diaper? is that "fair use" if we have no other handicap? If you can walk, have you ever exited a handicap restroom only to be glared at by the next person waiting to use it? They sometimes deliberately look me up and down as if to say “you don’t belong here.” I feel like I have to justify my being there. One problem is non-visible handicaps. No one looking at most of us could tell that we are wearing a diaper and might need to change. We look like we are taking advantage of something to which we are not entitled. Worse, many (perhaps most?) of the public do not view incontinence as a handicap (although many of us also are physically handicapped). To be fair, with a little difficulty I could use a stall in a public restroom with its attendant lack of privacy and no where to set out my supplies. However, I go to extremes to avoid that. So, what are your thoughts on this? —John

I think these calculation are a nice reference point - but you can see that yourself. If you don't take any urine-discoloring drugs now, you can simply look at the color of your urine. Almost transparent: Too much liquid Light yellow: enough liquid Dark yellow: too little liquit
