A wet diaper is a diaper that contains urine and/or feces. It can be difficult to tell if a disposable diaper is wet just by looking at it.
How to Determine if a Disposable Diaper is Wet
Because it's hard to tell visually, here's a practical way to determine if a disposable diaper is wet (Reference: Health Canada, May 2023):
- Weight Check: Pour two to four tablespoons of water into a dry diaper. Feel the weight difference. This will give you a good idea of how a wet diaper feels.
- Tissue Test: Place a tissue inside the diaper. If the tissue becomes wet, the diaper is wet.
