Step 1: Pick the least embarrassing spot to lay
A bed in a bedroom or a sofa in a living room with all the curtains closed will work wonders.
Sometimes a large changing table may also be available which gives the caretaker the best possible working conditions to perform diaper changes -
Step 2: for the diaper-change to be completed.
When complete, place this diaper onto the side of the changing surface, just within the caretaker's quick reach, yet just out of arms reach of the wearer. , These clothing pieces include any shirts, pants or underwear that might have been worn overtop of the diaper. , Whether or not the wearer has wet the diaper or solid-wasted/soiled it, it still needs to be changed.
Often times, what the caretaker may smell on the wearer, may mean something totally different has happened to the diaper wearer and may mean the wearer doesn't need a diaper change at all. , Accidents may undoubtedly happen at least once while being diapered. ,, Do NOT use the "ankle hold" method to slide the diaper out from under the wearer! ,, Be extra-careful not to allow the wearer roll back over onto the changing surface accidentally, or it may even cause the wearer to roll completely over and onto potentially another surface causing other medical problems that are more severe than incontinence itself may bring.
Most assistants suggest doing this portion, while kneeling or standing (on the ground) on the rolled side of the person.
Continue to change the diaper from this position until further notice. , Visualize the approximate location of the final location of the diaper, and the point that the diaper is closest to the wearer's waistline and that the tapes are positioned almost-on the wearers waist, all before rolling the wearer back over onto the diaper.
Make sure the diaper is spread flat on the changing surface.
Take these precautions for the comfort of the wearer's body.
Make sure the diaper tapes literally can touch up against the wearer's body. , The process is almost over. ,, Use one close-fisted hand held at the center of the diaper, when pulling the diaper up into position. , However, work with one side to begin with. ,,,, -
