If you live with bowel control issues, you know first hand the self-consciousness that odor can cause.
At times life happens and you can't get away to change your adult diaper. You are at the mall, on the bus, you are at work, or maybe you're at school and you have forgotten your extra supplies, or you can't get away to change because there's no spot to change. The problem is worse if it's a hot, maybe even sweltering, summer day, and odors are worsened.
The discomfiture as people around you proceed to sniff the air, and you're keeping your eyes pointed foremost praying, hoping, that no one recognizes that it's you. Or, rather, you're faking because you're smelling the air too - trying to deflect the attention away from you.
Ordinarily people do not choose to sit in a dirty adult diaper - but when life happens and you can't get to a bathroom - what can you do to camouflage the... ahem... stench?
When you're desperate, you'll head for anything to try and camouflage the odors emanating from the adult diaper. Find a fuel station and stock up on those air freshners and wear them in your adult diaper. There is an illustration for you!
Seriously it doesn't have to be that way...the quick fix is easier than you anticipate - and quite money friendly! A travel sized spritzer container filled with water and a drop or two of essential oils. Hold-up - men - before we kiss goodbye your attention -- not all essential oils are 'girlie' scented. So, applying essential oils won't make you 'effeminate'.
You'll need an everyday and a small (travel-sized), spray bottle, essential oils and water. Essential oils can be found as a single oil or blended oils. Many big department stores and your community drugstore carry these oils and they can also easily be found online. Many malls have kiosks stocking only soaps and oils. You can find "feminine" oils (botanic scents like Lavendar, Geranium, Jasmine) or masculine (earthy like Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Black Pepper, Sandalwood, most citrus scents, etc).
Even though some of the more hunk scents aren't by definition conveniently at hand (like Black Pepper) at your community department stores, if you look for masculine blends - you will find that many blends incorporate several essential oils into a blend.
Take your spray bottles, drop in1-3 drops of the essential oil (3 drops for the standard spray bottle, 1 drop for the small (pocket-sized) spray bottle - and fill with water.
dressed in the morning - take your regular spray bottle and mildly spritz your adult diaper - one quick spray will do it. Place the small (purse-sized) spray bottle in your supply bag, within accessible reach. This will facilitate to conceal any disturbing odors. And, because the smaller spray bottle is pocket-sized, it fits readily into a pocket or purse - rucksack, laptop bag - you guessed it - no one has to know. Then, if you notice in the heat of the day that you're not smelling as fresh - you can artfully bring out your bottle and add another spritz. All people will recognize is the aroma of your preference of essential oil.
An added treasure to this cost effective way of controlling odor, is that you and each person around you benefits from the properties of the essential oil. As we all know, Lavender has a relaxing affect, Grapefruit helps concentration, eases worry and lightens the spirit, Peppermint helps allay headaches.
You can even have a bit of fun during Christmas season - by using holiday scents - so everyone thinks you're positively in the Christmas spirit!
