Hi all

Any one know of any Diaper sensors on the market that can be used on any diaper?

As this seems interesting as I am not sure when to change due to being new (Since November) 100% medical induced Urinary Incontinent

Thanks

I do not know of any such sensors for cloth diapers; however, many disposable diapers have chemical indicators that change color when wet. Good luck and report back when you can. I too have multiple medical issues which can be frustrating.

Huh. I'm thinking about this. I haven't seen any sensors that will tell you when to change. I feel like your question more broadly is "how can I know when it's time to change".

For me as diaper capacities have increased, my habits about diaper changes have evolved also. I used to leak a lot, back when diapers were less absorbent than they are now. It wasn't that I didn't /try/ to stay on top of things and change the diaper before it leaked, but I just really pee /a lot/, and frequently. And it just ended up being a fact of life at that time, that a lot of the times I realized I needed to change, it was because the seat of my pants was wet.

I don't think I've leaked even once in the last three years. The diaper state of the art finally caught up with my body's pee output!

So it's really become about timing and convenience for me. I can't pick and choose convenient times to pee; the peeing happens on my body's schedule. But I can pick times during the day that are convenient for me to change my wet diaper, freshen up with wipes, etc. And part of that has to do with trying not to smell too much like pee. So it's often about schedule and convenience more than anything else.

So I think I would say, change when it's convenient. And if you find that doing that means you have leaks, then switch to a more absorbent diaper.

Does that make sense? I feel like I'm not really answering your question, but those are my thoughts, anyway, in case they help!
