I was chatting with a CafeMom friend about her Christmas. She, her husband and two young children were stuck in standstill traffic for three hours without a restroom in sight.
My mom friend had to pee the whole time, and even considered using her son's diaper before the traffic broke and things starting moving again.
She's not the first to think about this ... kyriesmommy13 in Answers posed the same question a few months ago. She said being trapped in an enclosed place and peeing in your baby's diaper seems a much better option than wetting your pants.
The first several dozen commenters wouldn't admit to it, some even said no way, they'd never do it, but I wonder if they're telling the truth.
I've peed outside in some pretty strange places using some odd contortionist techniques ... but never did I consider a diaper. The more I think about it, what a great idea in a pinch! I wonder if it would really work ...
Have you ever peed in your baby's diaper in an emergency? Would you consider it if there was no other option?

Okay so the statement caught my eye and before reading the story I was all like....."ewwwwww gross why would you" but after reading it I am pretty sure in an emergency situation I would probably do it. When I was young my cousin spent the night and my step-dad would not let us leave my room because we were in trouble. She peed in my cats litter box. Good thing she will not be reading this, she would kill me but she did it in an emergency situation. hee hee -- I know there have been times I too have peed in some strange places outside when I needed to, I diaper probably would have come in handy!
yeah, i would probably do it. WAY better than peeing your pant. Anywho, when you gotta go you gotta go. Especialy if you have no other option! :)
I've joked about it before, and would probably do it if I was in a tight spot! Would have to be a big diaper though....
I have honestly never done this or thought about doing it either. But I did have a friend use one of my sons diapers as a maxi pad. And she said it worked very well.
LOL ok ok i confess...yes i did once. we were in the process of moving and I was over at the new house. My hubby had to run to the hardware store so I was left at the house without a car. I had to pee soooo bad and our water was shut off. They were still doing work on the house and I didn't want to pee in the toilet and let it sit there for our landlord to find so i peed in my sons diaper, wrapped it up and threw it away. No one was the wiser and I avoided peeing my pants...or a mild bladder infection lol
No, I actually had never thought about it. Hope I never get stuck in traffic and need to go like that.
Can a baby diaper even hold the amount of pee an adult would do??
I have thought about it but Figured the diaper wouldn't hold that much pee.....I am curious ...If you have to go that bad wouldn't the diaper fail under that much pressure? LOL
lol I totally did, our toilet was getting fixed and the baby was sleeping so I didn't want to wake him up to take him out, so I used his diapers, it actually took two of them, hehe
*just had to add that I'm currently using a diaper as a pad because I ran out and started my period tonight, sorry I know waaaay TMI!!! but ohh the things diapers are good for, lol
