Diapers are a pretty amazing invention. They keep you from all the things that would otherwise end up on you and well, EVERYTHING! Can you imagine what it was like before diapers? I bet it was a messy situation- literally! That is why I am so thankful for diapers and you could say I am a bit biased because I love Huggies diapers. It was the brand the hospital used for the birth of both of my sons and they sort of just stuck with me. So today I am partnering with Huggies to bring you 10 Amazing Uses for Diapers. And no, using them for baby’s poop is not one of those!

10 AMAZING uses for diapers

10 Amazing Uses for Diapers (other than for baby poop)

  1. Grow those plants! It’s no secret that plants get their hydration from the soil they are in but what happens to your plant when you head on vacation? Unless you have a plant sitter, they will probably die. Not anymore! Place a baby diaper at the bottom of the pot and then water as usual before you leave. The diaper absorbs the excess water and the plant will use that water when needed.
  2. Soak up spills in car. So I have kids (and a husband) that spill EVERYTHING and lots of times, it’s in our car and often in the cup holders. I love to use a diaper to soak it all up because it’s so easy to do and it works quickly!
  3. Clean up grease in kitchen. We all know that pouring grease down your drain is a no-no but there isn’t anything that says you can’t use a diaper to soak it up. Take a diaper and stick it into a cool pan of grease to soak it right up.
  4. Covers for Cold Feet. Hey as long as you don’t leave the house it won’t matter how you are keeping your feet warm. Wrap your feet in some diapers and duck tape and enjoy some makeshift slippers.
  5. Wipe that sweat off. Sweating and don’t have a towel handy but have your diaper bag? Use a diaper to soak the sweat right off you! I mean look at how absorbent these look (and they totally are).huggies absorbent diaper
  6. Package it up safely. Wrapping material can get expensive but you know what isn’t? Diapers! They are soft, cushiony and can keep your fragile items safe. So wrap these babies (not the babies literally) around items and package them as usual.
  7. Bandage those wounds. Sometimes a tiny Band-Aid won’t do the trick. When you’ve got a big wound you need a big bandage and a diaper is just the solution!
  8. Keeps you from the heat. Whether you are moving something hot or needing to break away from the heat, diapers can come to the rescue. Use them as pot holder, make a hat, or even make a neck wrap out of one.
  9. Store valuables in while traveling. So your visiting a new place and you are worried you will be robbed. Well, take your diaper bag and hide your money, wallet, and other valuables in the diapers. Who would think to check those to rob you? It’s also a space saver.
  10. Dust, dust away. Ladies you know when the husband says you are out of cleaning supplies so he can’t clean? Well he can still dust! Use a diaper to dust your home. It’s soft and absorbent and your home won’t even noticed the difference in what you used.

Now that I have given you some creative and amazing ideas on how to use diapers for more than just baby bottoms, I want to share with you my chosen brand of diapers.

As many of you know, I am not shy to sharing my love for Huggies. I have talked about the brand quite a bit and love their products. I am Huggies fan all the way (sounds sort of like a college student cheering on their football team). Recently they have released NEW Huggies Little Movers. Of course, I had to give them a try with my youngest so I went to my local Babies”R”Us store and found a box of them.

[…] baby wears cloth diapers, you should wash them all separately from the rest of the baby’s diaper collection. A milk poop stain is usually not dangerous and can be easily removed. It is best to wait 2-3 days […]

I have used them countless times as a heating pack. You can pour hot water in them slide them in a plastic bag and wrap in a pillow case. They stay hot for a good while and even then you can heat them back up in the microwave. Just do not get them to hot and burn your self.. Believe it or not I learned this hack 15 years ago while in the hospital. I asked for a heating pad and they brought in a adult diaper fixed up this way. It worked great and I have did it many times at home. The adult diaper obviously make a bigger heat pack.

Who knew that you could use a diaper for all of these things? I definitely didn't! I've used one for the plant idea before, but that is it! #client
