Disposible Diaper ?

[The Foozzler]

Would you put a used diaper back on if it was dry when you took it off?

I ask because I always throw away a diaper once Tyler has worn it, dirty or not. Last night I was giving him a bath at my parent's house. When I took off Tyler's diaper it was dry. My mom told me to put it back on him after the bath. It didn't really matter because I was going to put his nighttime diaper on anyway.

Just curious if this is something that people do. Am I wasting diapers?

I put it back on if it's not wet. There's nothing wrong with it, so why not?

LOL, we had this arguement in my house. I put it back on, DH thinks that is gross, like putting on dirty underwear after a bath. To me, he sits in a somewhat pee filled diaper a lot, putting on a dry but worn for a bit diaper is nbd. So I do it, yes. DH, tosses it.

I give her a clean one after a bath even if it wasn't wet.

Not for any particular reason really... just seemed to make more sense to me to give a fresh one.

Yeah I sometimes put a dry one back on at bathtime. I feel wasteful throwing it away if it's completely dry.

clean one after a bath.. but other times yes Id reuse it.. like after swim class..

This has never happened in my world. My kids pee so much.

After a bath, I give a clean one. But if I'm just checking and it's dry, I velcro her back up.

After bath I always give a new one but if my husband is bathing her he re-uses the old dry one.

On the very rare occasion that this happens I reuse the dry one. It isn't like it is going to be on for a super long time after that.

Not sure if this has happened to me before but I would reuse it. Chances are he hasn't had the diaper on for long because he is a peeing machine.

This just happened the other day and I put it back on. But I usually do switch them out after a bath.

Yup, this.

I put on a new one. Even with wiping her butt at every change, Zoe gets kind of a pee funk to her, so after bath I want everything perfectly clean, so the funk takes as long as possible to come back.

This.

I reuse it. He usually has a bath around 6:30-7 and goes to bed around 8. It's to early to put his bedtime diaper on (we use different ones for day and night), but it seems silly to waste a totally new diaper for an hour. Of course, if it's wet, I'll change it.
