Winter, Means Cold, Means Freezing.

OK yes this post is about freezing temps and wetting. and unable to change for a couple of hrs. could I end up with major skin damage from having very cold wet diapers on. I mean I only had ran into a problem once and it caused my to have to run to a near by store and use there restroom. as my diaper was so cold after wetting that it was hurting.

im affraid of getting frost bite or something. see some times i go out sleding on my snowmobile and there no place to change for hours, until we get to a bar, or a store thats near the trails. i dont think i could get frost bite down there, but the problem is redness for hours and a slight burning feeling after i change. i cant use diaper rash creams or anything that will freeze, so all i got to use it normal baby powders.

any ideas on what to do. i tried not drinking to much water, but then end up wetting more. i have tried putting on more layers. but nothing beats freezing temps at 40 mph on a sled in the snow. i love sledding but this is causing me not to want to do it anymore.

The answer is plastic pants Cooling is an evaporative process- the plastic prevents rapid evaporation Even with plastic backed diapers there's a lot of air movement at the openings Plastic pants prevent this movement so the warm liquid stays warm abd so does the rest of you

Heated motorcycle gear. Works wonders on all parts of the body that are covered.

Switch to gauze prefold diapers and plastic pants! You stay warm no matter how cold it is! I used to live in western PA in the snow belt and on the opening day of Buck season I would go hunting with the guys for hours and never have a problem. Back then I only wore one diaper during the day but hunting I could wear two because my coveralls were big. Diaper on! Rain or snow, wet or dry, we will not cry!

And therein lies another solution: wear warmer clothing, like a ski-doo suit or really good ski pants. It's not as light as heated motorcycle gear, but it's cheaper and, hey, snowmobile enthusiasts aren't expected to wear the latest in fashion: bulky snowsuit is "OKAY".

I completely know what you mean. I recently was out to look at another property with a co-worker who decided to look at an extra property. It was really cold and I was getting quite wet. I nearly jumped straight back up when I sat down in the car as my diaper was freezing cold. I agree with warmer clothes but some times you get caught with out them.

The answer is 2 pairs of thermals and 1 plastic covered disposeable plus snap front plastic pants, I like being warm and wet and this combination lets me do that all day long, or at least until I start leaking past the plastic pants them my log johns get wet

I can now ride longer with out feeling very cold, O and i was wearing a none heated snow suit and still was feeling the cold. but now im nice warm. just coast alittle more then i wanted to spend but to stay warm well worth it. my wife now hopes i dont spring a leak and short my self out. lol it would be a shock of my life. lol.

As a fanatical skiier and outdoorsman, I can say that rarely have I had a problem with my diapers becoming too cold. My body heat keeps a wet diaper relatively warm and after 3-4 hours in the same wet diaper I haven't noticed any signifigant chill. If you plan to stand around outside for long periods without being active then yes there could be a chilling problem. However you would probably have a greater concern with your core body temperature dropping from hypothermia.

If you are having a chilly diaper, then my suggestion is dress warmer. It's winter, dress appropriately for the conditions.
