Hey guys question this might be weird but I have been having issues with putting on my diapers, I followed every article there is and still nothng I tried to lay flat but I am not sure exactly where to plop down on the diaper i tried to go for the middle and sometimes when i pull the diapers between my legs sometimes its too short like the tapes can't reach or when the tapes reach and the diaper is on taped the padded part on the front of the diaper is all smushed in. is there a easier way i can get my diapers on easier without these issues? I am using northshore air premium in size medium I look forward to hearing from you guys thanks. Please feel free to pm me as well. please no negative commen[/color]ts.
Hi Gabe,
This is what works for me, but everyone is different, so there may be some trial and error. The first step is to make sure you are wearing the correct size. Disposables vary I cut, so even though the size range of a medium may say it fits, in reality it may run smaller or larger. I am between sizes, so some brands of mediums fit well, while other brands I need a large. In Northshore, I wear a medium MegaMaxx, but in the Supreme I need a large.
While I will put on a diaper standing up when necessary (say in a public restroom) I prefer to do it lying down. My routine is as follows:
I lay the diaper out and fluff up the front, making a V as others have noted and also ensuring the leak guards are standing. I lay down, pulling the back up to just above my pelvic bones and making sure it is centered side to side. I then pull the front up and through and make sure it is centered, then pull the front right wing down around my leg, being careful not to pull the back out of alignment. I tape the right bottom tape first, then repeat on the left lower, followed by the left upper and finally the right upper. When applying the bottom tapes, I have found what works best for me it to pull them kind of up and toward my opposite hip, which helps prevent the tapes from moving down and getting stuck to my legs. I pull the top tapes straight across, making sure they are snug.
Hope this helps and good luck!
