Have you ever been out somewhere and ran out of diapers? Yikes, the other day I had to use a washcloth, plastic bag and masking tape lol!!! Good thing it was a short drive home! Anyone have a funny makeshift diaper story?
We have emptied all the poopie out of the diaper, put a paper towel in it and put the diaper back on in an emergency. Kathi
lol, that's funny! We have ran out of daipers before, but I always have a stash of cloth daipers on hand just incase at home. As for being out, I have ran into a situation where I had no daiper to put on her, but usually I'm in walmart or something close to a store like that, and i just go open a bag of daipers, change her, and then go pay for the new bag. Not nearly as entertaining as your story though!!!! LOL
I've used pillowcases, towels, recieving blankets, and t-shirts. Nothing like a cloth-diapered baby during rainy season.
*laughs* We too had done this during emergencies while out and about when our children were still in diapers!
lol we were out of town and had no clue where a store was so me being supper mommy took a roll of tp and a plastic pag and electrical tape to make a diaper... lol poor little thing had to think i was crazy.. after about 45 mins we found a store... but by then my little princess had pooed in the "diaper"... walking through the store was helrious i am sure people told the story at dinner that night..... "well today i was kmart and these dirty hippies with funny colored hair and metal all in their faces came in with a baby and did you know those damn hippies didnt even have a diaper on that baby they had a plastic bag wrapped around it... " lol
My mom recently performed a "creative diapering" proceedure on one of my nephews. She ran out of rubber pants and rather than put Jacob in a disposable, she pinnned a fresh cloth diaper back on the baby, cut out the bottom corners of a Glad Kitchen-Catcher plastic garbage bag, pulled the plastic bag over Jacob's diaper like a pair of rubber pants, and pin fastened the plastic bag to the cloth diaper using two diaper pins. I didn't see my moms handy work first hand, but she took a digital photo of the emergency diaper so I'm sure the next time I'm over visiting her I'll get to see it! Funny what a mom or a grandma will do when they need a diaper.
i ran out, and i took my stepdaughters pantys and put it on him with a pad, lol. then called my hub and told him what i did and that he needed to get diapers, he left work early to get them as fast as he could!
Totally far out idea Ghost Lyric!!! For someone like me who only uses cloth diapers your idea is a good one to remember.
Were a cloth diapering family, so Ive been known to use anything cloth as a diaper in a pinch.. towels, rags, blankets, clothing.
I still think a disposable diaper using mother can't loose in picking up a dozen flat cloth diapers, a few pairs of rubber pants, and a couple sets of diaper pins for emergency times. Likewise for cloth diaper using mothers-- a package of disposable diapers in the closet.
