Little Lindsey Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hate doing it lying down. I always get a better fit standing up. Link to comment
le Hollandais Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It might depend on whether you wear cloth or disposable diapers. I wear cloth diapers and pin them. So lying down is better. Link to comment
Dubious Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Always lay down when possible If I can't lay down I can do it sitting Never had any reason to do it while standing, and have tried but it wasn't for me Link to comment
beallucanb Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I did a combination, I start lying down, when I have the diaper where I want it I tape the bottom tabs. Then I stand to finish the top tabs, I think you get a better fit doing it that way. Link to comment
Amelia Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I prefer to change standing. I usually lean against a wall to help hold the diaper in place while taping. Link to comment
fillemup Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I always put my diaper on while laying down. I get the best fit while laying down. The only time I put a diaper on while standing up is when I have to change out of a poopy diaper when I am away from home. Link to comment
Stroller Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It depends on the nappy. I'm usually in cloth nappies, and the velcro and popper ones are both easy to put on standing up, so I can change into them anywhere. The terry squares are a different matter - I've never even tried to put one on standing up. I always lay them out, usually on the bed, then lie down to fasten them. Disposables I can change either way, but I prefer to lie down as I find it easier to get the tension on the tabs right. That's probably just down to lack of practice with putting them on standing - I don't wear them often. Link to comment
Wowpally Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I prefer sitting or laying down. I can get a better fit. However i will stand when out in public restrooms. Just have to find what works best for you!??? Link to comment
ylowrvr Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I found I do a better job standing up. I don't get much of a chance to put on a diaper while lying down. Link to comment
CodHero24 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Laying down is the easier way to learn how to get the best fit for your Diaper. However, in the "FIELD", (changing in Public) you will need to master the art of applying your Diaper while Standing. Link to comment
herb330 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm always placed on changing table so always placed into a new diaper while laying down Link to comment
dlnoir Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I prefer to lay down. I can get a much better fit if I lay down on bed. However changing your diaper laying down is not always an option. I will stand when out and about like in public restrooms or while at work. Link to comment
BabyJune Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Since I wear old-fashioned cloth diapers, I can only change laying down. I use a Zorb3 soaker panel inside my diaper, and it would be hard to change standing up. Link to comment
Dubious Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I have only changed diaper in public 2 times in my whole life, and then I sat on the toilet I have changed inserts a few more times, easier and cheaper than changing diaper Link to comment
foreverdl Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I would believe it does matter if you are using disposable or cloth, I can't imagine trying to put a cloth diaper on standing up, I'm not that talented . I almost always use disposable and I learned yrs ago to do it standing up, now that's the only way I really can put on a disposable it's normal for me.? Link to comment
Crinklz Kat Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I've done it both ways ... prefer laying down. Link to comment
carsfan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Standing for both diaper type. My cloth are fastened by Velcro which isn’t very different to put on then disposables Link to comment
WetDad Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Standing, no matter what kind. Link to comment
Newbee Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 If I’m doing it myself I change standing up but if hubby is changing me then I lay down Link to comment
diaperguy85 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 i've only diapered myself while standing. maybe a few times early on in my re-diapering days i tried taping up laying down, but i haven't in recent memory. we have a bed in our guest/changing room, but there's just stuff on it... mostly old and/or seasonal laundry, but some other little clutter things too. and i just don't want to clean off the bed to try to tape up. plus i don't have a changing pad/old towel to lay out before i lay down. one day i do want to give it a shot, but until then i'm perfectly happy changing against the door frame Link to comment
rusty pins Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I do it standing as well and I have never had to use a wall to hold up my diaper while putting one on. I use disposables. I stand because its easier and I get a better fit than when trying to put on a diaper laying down. Interestingly, when I was a young boy and wet every night, my mom would diaper me for bed in cloth diapers standing in front of her as she sat on the living room couch. This was the nightly routine until I was almost 6 years old, never diapered laying down, and that has nothing to do at all with the fact that I diaper myself standing up today. Link to comment

Babyboyzen Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 99.5 percent of the time I'm diapered or changed while I'm flat on my back in the customary diapered position. There are times though that I get my diaper changed while I'm standing up. Usually when we're out somewhere and I'm either soaked or really messy. Link to comment
DiaperboyEddie12 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 almost all the time I do it standing as there is really no place for me to change into a diaper laying down. Though today Sept 14th I changed in the front seat of the car. That was an experience. Link to comment
