Airing out

[Slomo]

Saw this on another site, and though I'd ask it here too.

For those who wear a diaper 24/7, how many of you "air out". That is, to purposely not wear a diaper for a short period so your skin can be exposed to the air and dry out? And if you do, how do you go about it.

I've found that doing this goes a long way in preventing rashes, as well as rapidly healing any current rashes. I even found a cheat short cut for it. After I take a shower, I lie down on my bed with my ceiling fan on high. I always have a washable bed pad under me, but I also fold a baby diaper over the tip of my penis. They're cheap enough, and work great. Which catches my inevitable leaks, and the pad gives me a backup in case the baby diaper fails. But the real cheat comes from the ceiling fan. With it creating a strong breeze my skin will be completely dried out in just 5 minutes. Because really, who has an extra hour each day to just lie around in bed, or sit on the toilet.

Getting some fresh air on your skin is essential!!

I am particularly sensitive to pre-rash irritation in the skin folds of the diaper area.  Airing out is a must to avoid irritation becoming an actual rash.

To air out, I usually sit on a disposable underpad or on an open tabbed diaper.  An advantage of sitting on the open diaper is that when done, or if there is an "accident," you can just tape up the diaper and get on with your day.

If I am going to take an afternoon nap, that is a great opportunity to air out.  However, I may experience "bedwetting" during the nap.  I am on a disposable underpad, but could flood that, so, on top I place a very absorbent cloth booster pad.
