Discreet Changing Tips

[jaytay]

I’m currently renting an apartment with another roommate, and the apartment is always very quiet, almost like you can hear every little thing that happens. This definitely makes it hard for me to change in and out of plastic backed diapers with tapes, mainly because the tapes are so noisy!

It seems to me like there is no avoiding that loud rip from untaping a diaper. Does anyone have any tips for quiet changes? Or even excuses if ever asked? Thanks!

Just pull it down like a pull up , really not that hard at all . Clean up and tape up the application of tapes can be done slow n quite

Cut the tapes or get Velcro taped diapers i.e. tykables/CTDC bear hugz/bambino magnifico

If you undo a diaper tape slowly you can mitigate a lot of the ripping sound.  Also a well timed cough or toilet flush can work wonders as well.

Peeling the tabs back rather than pulling them outwards is pretty quiet - works for me anyway.

I like the tips for cutting or for pulling it down like a pullup.  I'm not sure a diaper would be the first explanation for a noise that would jump to someone's mind.  Baby diapers today are cloth backed with velcro tabs.

Thanks everyone!

I usually remove the tapes very slowly, and also backwards instead of outward, and I dunno if it’s just these particular diapers (Forsite AM/PM), but it almost sounds louder when I do that! It’s like a long dragged out untapping, with random loud rip noises.

I’ll try the pull down and cutting the sides options next!

I always wonder if diapers would be what his mind jumps to if he hears it. Obviously my perspective is skewed because I know it’s a diaper, but I always worry that the taping and crinkling from moving around before I pull my pants or pyjamas up screams diaper lol.

I think this is the advantage of being female:  The few times my boyfriend 'thought' he heard something, he assumed it was pads/pantiliners!  He had no idea the sound was a diaper being removed.  Of course now he knows, but doesn't care.

I used to turn music on or turn my tv up.

Just cut the tapes. Easy to carry a small pocketknife or scissors for that Or pull the diaper at the tapes until it stretches enough to slide down. Or just fuggedaboutit and take your diaper off any way you please which is my approach

Well I pull the tabs back it makes less noise that is for sure. On the other hand I do not worry too much about the noise it makes. I really belief that under normal circumstances a person will identify the sound of you undoing the tabs of your diaper, unless the person hearing it is familiar with it, either from changing a baby’s diaper or his / her own. I wear 24/7 and change my diaper in the toilet aria of our factory. The toilets are equipped with ¾ doors so there is a rather large opening at the top and bottom. Nobody ever said a word when I came out of the toilet after I changed my diaper.
