Diapered in the summer time

[Iken]

I know summer is around the corner and how do you handle being diapered and incontinent in the summer.

[Scarth]

i wear loose shorts and tank tops .. also really try to stay hydrated even if that means having to change more

I mix in more breathable diapers along with my usual plastic-backed ones.  Breathable diaper covers (PUL) are cooler than vinyl or rubber.

Sometimes I wear a onesie Polo shirt instead of a short-sleeved shirt over a onesie.

As Scarth has mentioned, hydration is important.

What I do is I will be checking diapers more often in the summer, because of the fact that you're more likely to hydrate more, and probably what I will do is I will be wearing my trifectas over the top of any diapers I wear. We'll also try to get a few more pairs of shorts, because it's probably easier in the summer to have shorts on. As far as swim diapers however, I'm still up in the air about that, but I will be asking for assistance from other people as well so that hopefully will not have to be a problem.

Most of this summer probably I will be working anyway, with the exception of maybe a weekend when my brother and my sister in law officially get married. Talk to my dad about it this week, when I saw him on Friday, and there was talk of what the place was that we were going to, and I told my dad that I talked to my brother about it, he told me not to worry, so I won't worry about that, but I still want to make sure that I'm well prepared for summer, even if I'm not doing very much during it.

I don't trust any diapers that aren't plastic backed, and that's probably because that's what I grew up with, and most diapers that aren't plastic backed aren't prepared for the onslaught in deluge of liquid that you end up releasing or solid that you release, so you don't know what these things are going to do, but you do know from experience that they don't like to hold up to heavy use. I have yet to find a diaper that is breathable that can handle that type of onslaught, but if anybody can point me in that direction, I will give it a shot.

After you switch to 24/7, your body will start adapting to the added heat retention down there. It took me a few years, but eventually it stopped feeling normally hot and sweaty. 

 Beore that happens, make sure you are completely drying out down there at least once per day. Use rash creams and/or powders after that too. And consider using a diaper that will only last 4-6 hours during 5he day so you'll be changing more often.

I use a lot of powder wherever is covered.  Legs, buttocks, everything that will sweat.  I also try to work it into the skin a little bit.  It won't keep me from sweating but can help to postpone feeling gross and drenched.

That is one reason why I use the MegaMax Air diapers.  They have the highest absorbency of any breathable diaper I have found so far.  The waistbands stretch, but not terribly.  I wear a PUL diaper cover and a onesie.  The onesie supports the diaper.

We agree on that. Initially it felt uncomfortable to me.
