Regarding diapers: supermarket brands are cheapies and can leak (e.g. Tena, Depends, etc.)
Instead you'll want to take yourself to a pharmacy or care store to seek out a proper continence pad, yes they cost slightly more, but they work. These will not leak as you move about in the dive as the moisture is converted into a dry gel via super absorbent polymers.
They feel dry to the touch and as a bonus will balance the pH as to not interfere with the skin's acid mantle. There is no threat of breaching the capacity as absorbencies can be in the litres.

- saagarjha 2y agoIt's not, actually. Your comment is less relevant than theirs.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoThis seems like a sad example of "we'll do something to children that we'd never accept for ourselves, but it's OK because what can they do about it?"
- cogman10 2y agoThey can potty train. You might argue against it for babies but at a certain stage feeling the moisture is a motivator for kids to learn to use the toilet. That's why one potty training technique is to switch kids to regular underwear and mange the fact that they'll be wet pretty frequently. It's the uncomfortable wetness that both makes them want to potty train and lets them understand what it means to hold their bladder.
- DiscourseFan 2y agoI would definitely shit my pants frequently if it wasn’t for the discomfort. Practical concerns aside. Smart, yet stinky parenting technique. Wouldn’t they just start pissing literally anywhere, though?
- tylerrobinson 2y agoYes, they will pee anywhere because their whole lives they’ve been covered in a soft diaper. But it doesn’t take long for them to learn that is an uncomfortable feeling in normal underwear and there’s an incentive to use the toilet.

- badlucklottery 2y ago> What is the incentive? You reward them with praise when they pee in the toilet. People are pretty receptive to praise and kids even more so.
- itishappy 2y ago> Wouldn’t they just start pissing literally anywhere, though? Yes. As an adult male, I piss any and everywhere I can get away with it. Parenting, common decency, and law enforcement have narrowed that down to mostly bathrooms and backcountry.
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoYes they even have diapers/nappies for toddlers that absorb less on purpose.
- themaninthedark 2y agoI was in disposable diapers as a kid but they used cloth reusable for my brother 2 years younger than me. One night they ran out of disposable so they outfitted me with a cloth one, next morning I was dry and I refused to wear diapers after that.
- tinco 2y agoAs father to a toddler, the diapers we have (pampers brand) definitely contain these extremely absorbent polymers. They never leak and can contain insane amounts of liquid. Sometimes you forget about the diapers for half a day and there's no leaks and almost no irritation if the skin.
- dmurray 2y agoThe discount supermarket ones we use seem just as good. Also based on the absorbent gel, no leaks, no irritation.
- Townley 2y agoThose diapers say 10-18lbs on the package, but they actually hold waaaaay less urine than that —First dad joke my brother in law bestowed upon me after my daughter was born
- pmarreck 2y agoThe latest Pampers diaper tech for kiddos is a veritable marvel of human technology. It will expand to like 5+ times the size while feeling dry (more or less) to the touch on the inside. It's still gross to deal with, but not remotely as much as I would have expected.

- azalemeth 2y agoI have a spinal injury and have experienced both catheters (both Foley, which have a balloon in the bladder, and isc ones, which don't) and modern absorbent underwear. Catheters are evil pain sticks. Modern pants are wonderful and have dramatically improved my quality of life.
