Wearing a nappy to bed is one of the most comforting experiences an adult baby can enjoy. The gentle padding, the warmth and the complete freedom from worry combine to create conditions for the most peaceful, deeply restful sleep imaginable. If you have been thinking about trying it, or if you already do and want to improve the experience, these tips are for you.
Getting the Fit Right
Comfort during sleep depends heavily on fit. A nappy that is too tight will dig in and disturb you, whilst one that is too loose may shift and leak. Take time to find a brand and size that fits your body comfortably in a lying position, and do not be afraid to try several before settling on your favourite.
Consider adding a booster pad for extra absorbency if you plan to use your nappy during the night. This reduces the need to change and allows you to sleep through undisturbed. Plastic or PVC pants over your nappy provide an additional layer of security and add that wonderfully authentic crinkle and rustle.
Creating Your Bedtime Ritual
The best nappy wearing nights begin with a proper bedtime routine. Lay out your nappy, powder and any other supplies. Put on soft, little pyjamas or a onesie. Warm some milk in a bottle if you like. And of course, consider calling mummy for a bedtime story to complete the perfect evening.
