We decided to ask the members of the PlayTyme team to explain how they protect themselves from rashes and other skincare-based questions. Each release of the newsletter will feature one of our own answering the questions. This week we have Casey, our Community Ops Manager and Editor-in-Chief of PlayZine, answering to the best of his ability. See if you have the same skincare methods!

Before Starting

🤔 Are there any types of products you apply before getting padded?

Do you have any special routines that you go through?

Targeted areas such as inner thighs, hips, or leg cuffs.

Do you take a shower or bath beforehand? If so does this contribute in some way to the routine?

Can you identify what each product’s intended use is?

Will anything mentioned damage the clothing I wear?

Products can sometimes interact with the chemicals of the diaper’s print to rub off onto your clothing, causing them to stain.

How affordable are these methods?

How accessible are the products? Can they be accessed locally or do you need to order them from an online store?

Do you do anything special to the padding before putting it on?

I’ve heard of multiple ways to apply both baby powder & oils, can you tell us what your method is?

Aftercare Situation

😌 How do you treat your skin once you’ve taken it off?

Commonly people like to jump into the shower real fast and dry off, however, some have been known to just change right into another.

How do you feel about this? Are there any concerns in regards to back-to-back wearing?

For that matter, do you believe in a maximum amount of time that one should stay in the same diaper?

Used or Not?

Cloth vs Plastic?

Do you use additional products for this phase of your routine?

Topical cream, salves, oil, or anything of the sort.

Have you ever experienced rather itchy or dried skin around the hips or leg cuffs?

Larger individuals tend to experience a chaffing sort of sensation during regular movement, do you know of ways to help resist that?

What do you do if you believe you’ve developed a rash?

Especially in a scenario where you cannot go without wearing.

Cooling Down

⏰ How long do go “naked” in-between changing?

[x] 0-2 Hours

Either for medical, personal, or “assisted” reasons.

[ ] 3-5 Hours

You like to “air out” a little between sessions or just want to take a longer break from wearing.

[ ] Over five hours at times

Rather than being padded too often, you enjoy taking long breaks in between.
