If you wake up dry, do you wear that same diaper again the next night, or do you throw it away and always use a fresh one?
Most of the time I wake up with a wet diaper. But lately about once a week I stay dry. Normally I always wear a new fresh diaper every night. But some weeks ago my girlfriend proposed to reuse it the next night the diaper it still dry as they are quite expensive. I tried it a couple of times with mixed feelings:
- they feel more fluffy/bulkier the second night of wearing them (I am definitely more aware I am wearing diapers the second night)
- they are definitely more noisy which feels a bit embarrassing(my girlfriend admitted she heard me coming into the room by the crinkling of my diaper before she saw or heard anything else, but she says she doesn’t mind, even finds it cute…)
- they haven’t leaked yet when I wet them during the second night
- it feels a bit unhygienic wearing a worn diaper for a second time, as I also change my underwear daily, but my girlfriend says it is fine as I only wear them for around 8 hours each night, so when wearing them for two nights I wear them for less hours as regular underwear.
- my girlfriend said just to check together if they look clean, still fit well and the tabs are still good. If so then it is fine to wear them again.
What do you guys do? Do you reuse a diaper the next time if they remained dry or do you always use a new fresh diaper? What are your thoughts about reusing them?
