DiaperboyEddie12 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 For me, it is usually me standing against something and securing the diaper. Though today I was alone in the living room my stepdad was not home and my mom was taking a nap. So I thought about trying it laying down. Well to my amazement it fit a lot better when I was laying down. It also felt so good to be strapping myself in a diaper while laying down brought some memories to my head. Oh how so good.

herb330 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 since I have been in diapers 24/7 . My wife does the changes. I 'm placed on a changing table and then cleaned up and changed. Link to comment
ppdude Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Standing up. Never could do it laying down. Wife wouldn't do it either. It's a fantasy to have a gal do it... Link to comment
willnotwill Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 More often than not standing up, just for convenience. It gets the fit optimal. If I lie flat, it's too loose. If you flex your legs you risk putting it on too tight. Link to comment
clothbaby Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Standing for me. If you are wearing different companies cuts maybe different for sizing ,so it is good it you stay with one or two styles/prints. I am using 9 different and have to remember when to apply the first leg tapes. It would be nice if I would be diapered like a baby laying down but that wont happen Link to comment
WetDad Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Standing works best for me, no matter the brand or type. Yes, I wear cloth at times, but mostly disposables since they are more discrete. For cloth it takes a little longer since I'm not as experienced at it- often I must repin at least once before it feels right. Link to comment

willnotwill Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Actually when I wear cloth I use Snappis to close them. I like that the pull up on the crotch in addition to pulling the wings inward. Link to comment
Smash-N-Dash Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It depends on the diaper, mainly if one tape per side or two. Generally, I lay down flat, usually on the bed, and start by getting the fit around my legs and nether region right. I personally like a little sag in my diaper and room to breathe down there, so I tend to tape my diaper on a little lower, but still snug around the legs. That being said, I always do the lower tapes first to get the right fit around the legs and down below, usually pointing the lower tapes downward a bit. Then I’ll do the upper tapes snug enough for there not to be a huge pocket between my skin and either waistband, but loose enough to where the elastic gives me some room to move, breathe and give a little space in between. If it’s a single tape diaper, generally the tapes will get angled down slightly, to where the legs are snug but the waist is looser. Link to comment

I am finding it a lot easier to lay down on the floor and pull it on and tape the tapes. And it feels a lot more snug that way. Link to comment

I like that the pull up on the crotch in addition to pulling the wings inward. I cannot see them standing up to 3 layers of thick DSQ twill and one of Gerber bird'seye. I use the very large diaper pins from Protex. Besides, I would have to learn how to use them AND they are not the real thing I guess they would be fine with PUl or PEVA panties and playing Barbi or MLP; or for a boy or DL Tell me how they can replace THIS: Now, to be sure, mine are not the traditional square or rectangular 1951 diapers for babies, they are made after a diaper that was made for a little girl who was a becwetter by her mother, who worked in a dressmaking shop in 1951 and who had outgrown baby diapers. This girl was the youngest of 4 and was a smidgen older than I. When it came to "designing" things like that, a lady knew what she wanted, in this case something that was more "fitted" to be easier to put on, could be worn for longer periods of time, could be doubled, with room to grow or could fit many different sized waits. Her mother did not have to try and find diapers for a "little". All she had to do was get assorted "super toddler" size baby panties which would, as has been said here, fit a person up to about 10 or 11 over a diaper, to put over them. get a few packages of prefolds, from which she made the diapers and that was it Link to comment
Stroller Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Lying down if there's the space. On the bed or on the bathroom floor with a towel spread out so the cold lino doesn't get me. Standing up when I have to, which is OK for disposables or velcro washables. I have't yet worked out how to change into a contour cloth nappy with a soaker in standing up - I haven't got enough arms. And as for a kite-fold - no idea even whether it's possible with just 2 hands, although I'm sure someone on here will be doing it every day! I do a better job of it lying down. Link to comment
GhostGirl Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I get the best fit lying down, but I do a healthy mix of both. That being said, I mostly wear pull on styles, and really only worry about tape ons for overnight, and for fun, and my girlfriend normally helps me with both of those. Link to comment
Warmwetandcozy Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I rarely have to put them on myself because my girlfriend usually changes me but when I do I lay down on the bed spread my legs apart fluff the diaper tape up the bottom 2 tapes than the top 2 sure everything is pulled tight to my body than put on my PUL pants and button my onesie Link to comment
le Hollandais Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Since I wear cloth square diapers, I sandwich a soaker panel in between two diapers, fold the whole works letter style, spreading the top wings just a little, lie down and bring the bottom edge up over my crotch. Next I spread out the wings just a bit more so they meet the folded up part and pin. Sitting up, I can adjust the fit. Link to comment
Padded comfort Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Always standing, it's just easier to get the right fit. I've tried lying down, but I can never get the fit tight enough and I end up fixing it standing up anyways. Link to comment
oliver d Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Standing against a wall or lying down both ways get good fits. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I can't get a good fit when laying down, although after I put on my diaper standing I sometimes adjust or tighten the tapes a little if wearing a cloth backed disposable diaper and it stretches a little. It's funny that I read the people who put their diapers on standing have to do it standing against a wall. I've never had to use a wall for support in any way while I put my diaper on. I just hold it in the middle of the back top, pull it up between my legs in front and draw the left bottom tape tight to tape it in front. It doesn't matter if I let go of the back of my diaper when taping the bottom leg tape because I already have my diaper in position. Once one tape is on and holding, I can then tape the other bottom tape. Once they are taped, I can pull the diaper up more if it needs to and then tape the top left, pulling it tight and then the top right. The bottom tapes keep my diaper from falling or sliding down any while I tape the top tapes. Once you get one tape on, it's my experience you can pull the opposite side tighter and tape it with no problem. Even with my big belly I never have to use a wall for support while putting on my diapers. Link to comment

I have constant pain in my back which hurts while standing for a bit and doing things. So it is easier to put it on while next to something though I do like to lay down from time to time. Though on the hard floor it also hurts the back. I can not wait to have a bed to put on a diaper so I do not have to worry about the hard floor. Link to comment
grayfile Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 98% of the time I am laying down. I have trouble with standing up, but it is the only option sometimes. When I stand up I can never seem to get the fit right. Although I am a big fat guy so that might have something to do with it Link to comment
Always In Diaper Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Standing with my back against the wall. It gives me a tight fit and a quick process. In the beginning I preferred laying down but now everything thing works just fine... Link to comment
willnotwill Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Actually, while I can use the wall, I prefer to use a corner or more often the door frame. Makes it easier fishing the wings around. That's for disposables. For cloth, I do prefer to lie down. Link to comment
mike indiapers Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I lay down just like a toddler for my diaper time. Link to comment
