How to Change an Adult Diaper in a Car

People are who wear adult diapers don't always use their diapers when it is convenient to change them. Whether you are dealing with a teenager that must use diapers or an elderly person that uses adult diapers, these steps and tips will demonstrate a safe and effective way for properly changing an adult diaper in a car.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Adult Diaper
• Wipes
• Changing pad or mat
• Powder

1. First, obviously check the person's diaper to make sure the need to actually change their diaper requires such a change in a car. While changing a diaper in the car can be simplified, it is obviously not the most ideal area to change a diaper. So, make sure the diaper is in bad enough "condition" whether it has been defecated in or it is very full in order to warrant a change in the car.

2. Second, if you have a trunk that has enough room for your person to lay down then use the trunk area, otherwise use the backseat. Lay down a diaper changing pad or some sort of pad in the backseat or trunk so that the person's waste is confined to the pad/mat and not your car seats.

3. Third, remove the person's shoes so to allow for removal of the pants before asking them to lay on the changing pad. Failure to remove these two things first before laying down will present a problem and barrier when trying to change their diaper and will cause a lot of uncomfortable positions. Obviously, try to do it in a discreet area and as discreet as possible.

4. Fourth, have all your supplies within easy reach before you start the diaper changing process.

5. Fifth, unfasten the adult diaper completely but do not fully remove it from under their bottom. Pull it out a little bit so a clean part of the back side of the diaper is exposed for their bottom to rest on.

6. Sixth, proceed to wipe down the area completely making sure to remove all the waste from the area. If your car roof is tall enough be sure to raise their legs up to reach underneath their bottom to make sure it is clean. Throw the wipes into the actual diaper.

7. Seven, fold up the diaper with the wipes inside so it is all in one packaged waste pack and dirty wipes aren't just hanging around your car.

8. Eight, slide an adult diaper underneath their bottom and apply powder and any other additional creams or lotions to their skin to protect them.

9. Nine, fasten the adult diaper tabs to the front of the adult diaper and adjust the positioning of the diaper slightly to make sure it fits the person appropriately.

10. Ten, put their pants back on in the car while they are laying down to reduce any further exposure and preserve discretion for the person.

Tips & Warnings

• Using a thicker adult diaper to provide more absorbency will reduce the required emergency changes that take place such as in a car.
• Use discretion to preserve discretion!
• Remove clothing before getting the person to lay on the diaper changing pad in the back of the car otherwise the confined area will present a problem with changing an adult diaper in such a small space.
