Diapered travel

How should I manage the airport and a transatlantic flight

Plan ahead.

Pack smart... Use a backpack and take enough diapers and supplies to get you to your destination. This includes any connection flights and layovers.

Pack enough in checked luggage to get you through your trip. Scope out diaper supply locations in advance so you have a backup source if necessary. If you need to, ship a case of diapers in advance to your destination and pick up when you get there.

Reverse the above on the return trip.

This has worked well for me in the past.

Good luck.

Everyone is busy enough worrying about their own travel that they are really, really not worrying about anyone else.  It's loud, it's busy, everyone is at least a little pissed off, and you don't know anyone.  It's one of the easiest public places to wear discreetly.

How you approach depends on your needs.  The most important thing to minimize interactions with security is to be dry when you head through security.  Even if you have TSAPre, there is a chance you'll end up going through the porn-o-tron and it will detect "something" in your groin.  You may or may not recieve a "supplemental pat-down".  If you are dry, either because you have not put a diaper on yet, or it's dry, the chance of anything happening is nil.

After security, do what you need to do.  Change into a diaper in the bathroom... it's loud, there are a lot of people, and no one cares.  Bring few plastic grocery bags and use one to put the used diaper in, and just toss it in the bin on the way out.  No one cares what you're throwing out.

On the plane, I usually have a few diapers in small stuff bags.  If I need to change (I sleepwet...) I take one of those, and my toiletries bag with my toothbrush and such and go to the bathroom.  It takes practice to effectively change there, but it's possible.

Onesies are great for traveling.  I wear a onesie under an untuckit shirt.  I wear BetterDrys and Mega Maxes and even my wife has to ask if I've had a chance to "get ready for a nap" yet.

Relax, be discreet, but no one will notice anything... unless you forget to wear pants, and even then it's a 50/50.

A: nobody will notice your diaper, so don't worry.

The hard part is going through security.  My system works for me.  I wear a Pull-up style diaper to the airport and try not to wet it before I go through security.   I change to a my regular diaper right after heading through security and put the Pull-up over the diaper for extra security.  I rarely need to change my diaper on the plane, but I do have extras just in case.  It's also where I store more diapers because my carry-on holds a limited number of diapers.

I've never been flagged in a US airport but was when I went through the Doha airport with a wet, but 100% wet diaper.   I could have gone to the bathroom in the transit between the plane and the terminal.  That's the only time I got flagged, but I don't like dealing with the delay, so why test it.

I have travelled to and from the states in nappies as I am urinary incontinent. I have had my carry on searched and been patted down while wearing a somewhat wet nappy and it was no big deal.
