It was a summer day and my sister and I were so EXCITED to be flying to Puerto Rico to introduce my first born to our family in Vega Baja! I had packed everything I need; diapers, snacks, blankets such as that Plaid Stitch, diapers, extra clothing, plastic bags and more diapers. You wonder why I said I reiterated diaper so many times? It wasn’t a typo. I was, in fact, diaper OBSESSED when my oldest was a baby, especially on an airplane. Why on a plane? Let me break this down for you….

Ever since I was a little girl, I could NOT stand airplane bathrooms. Is it me or do they make them way too small? The noise that comes out of the toilet when it flushes is the sound of something shooting out of it in the opposite direction. Why would I want to do my personal business in that let alone bring my child in there with me? Um, wait, is it even big enough to enter with your child to change your child comfortably? I think not!

Back to us on the plane….we snuggled in comfortably and I knew right from the start that I would NOT be getting up. This is why, when we booked our flight, we booked the seat with extra leg room because I knew I would have to change my child-but it would NOT be in the bathroom of the airplane. I carried along enough blankets to cover my baby and not offend anyone with unnecessary nudity. I also carried freshener just in case it was a “number 2” so it wouldn’t smell like baby poop for the entire international flight. I was prepared. Or so I thought! This was not the case so prepare to laugh and me and my new mami misfortunes.

Our trip to Puerto Rico was a little over three hours. About 45 minutes into the flight, boy was there chaos in the sky! My little man was very playful with his pacifier in his mouth to save him from the air pockets so he could have a comfortable flight. I felt his diaper and it was getting a bit stiff and I knew he needed a diaper change but at that moment they were coming around with drinks and snacks (at that time, they still gave you snacks). I didn’t want to change him as the attendants passed, only to start a conversation about my phobia of  going into the bathroom to change my baby. I had to wait about 10 more minutes for them to serve and pass but that diaper couldn’t wait and neither could my boy.

As he was jumping up and down and giggling at me, his “hose” decided to let go and it was as if he didn’t have a diaper on at all! The urine somehow came spraying directly at me and all over my shirt. My sister immediately grabbed the tissues nearby to try to stop it but the little she did catch sprinkled all over his legs and continued through the tissue all over my shirt! We were NOT prepared for a shower of urine. We both laughed about the situation because it was my phobia that would not let me enter that bathroom where at least we could have wiped the surfaces down. I am quite sure that having a reliable diaper like Huggies ® Snug & Dry would have provided long-lasting protection for that flight and would have helped save my day. Let’s just say that “other” brand will remain anonymous!

Huggies 1This stubborn mom still did not enter the bathroom to change her baby boy. I had to lay him on my drenched lap, placing tons of those blankets I mentioned underneath and proceeded to detach the sides with that tape-like fastener. Unlike, Huggies ® that has the SnugFit Waistband for All-Around Fit, this particular diaper didn’t have that option. I really needed a Huggies® Snug & Dry diaper for that flight because the New Sure Fit Design would have provided me up to 12 hours of leakage protection. That’s right 12 hours! Imagine that? 45 minutes later I was covered in a disaster and my three hour trip made me even more nervous, not knowing what would happen next. Huggies® would have provided me with more protection because of their closer-to-body fit that moves with baby’s twists and turns, those same moves he was doing on that flight. That softer outer cover would have probably helped me a whole lot as well.

As a first time mother, I learned a lifelong lesson and Huggies® Snug & Dry Diapers became top priority on my list immediately. I never had one of those moments again thankfully! If this mom of two decides to aim for baby #3, bebe will definitely be protected with Huggies® . You can squirt me once, but next time, I will be the one to shower my baby with Huggies® protection and motherly love right from the start!

    the most memorable moment was when my son took off his diaper and tried to put it on our cat 🙂

  2. Elisa says

    Get ready for a hippie-dippie Berkeley story. 🙂

    For the first seven months, I had a cloth diaper delivery service for my baby and by then I was going to CRACK from sleep deprivation. What got me to replace the cloth diapers with disposables? I went on vacation for a week to visit my parents and discovered the Huggies overnight diapers. They were good for the ENTIRE night. Heaven. I’ve been telling my sister about them now that she has a three month old and is ready to die from sleep deprivation, too.

    We could definitely use the gift card for the baby! Thanks for holding this contest!

    My most memorable diaper moment was when my,daughter was 4 months old. I had given my her her first taste of yogurt and she liked it. I then left her in the care of my 18yo brother while my mom and I went shopping. He calls me an hour after wr’ve gone to,report that my baby had an extremely messy diaper blowout. He said somehow poo had gotten all over entire body. I have been Huggies wipes and diapers from day one so I told him to hrab the entire package and het cleaning! I didn’t give her anymore until after she was a year old.

  4. smashbravo says

    Probably the day I had to put a size 1 diaper on her instead of a 3 because I had run out and the store didn’t have her size. All day long she kept leaking.

  5. Eliana Tardio says

    AYAYYYY what can I say. My kids having Down syndrome have used diapers for a longer period of time. hum! I have crazy memories with the diapers, but I think the most memorable momento was one day at the gym’s childcare center. They pulled me out from my spinning class to find Ayelen literally swiming in her poo along with toys..yuck that was nasty haahah

  6. Mary Happymommy says

    The most memorable moment was when my son was a newborn and peed straight up in the air at my face when I opened up his diaper to change him.

    • Eileen says

      Good thing we can laugh about it now 😉

  7. Sara Floyd says

    My best was when my baby went through 4 diapers in a row, and still got it all over her changing table!

  8. Leidy says

    one night I was half asleep changing my baby but managed to get the job done pues when I woke up in the morning I noticed I had put him two diapers.

    • Eileen says

      Amanda—
      I couldn’t stand those BLOWOUTS/EXPLOSIONS–lol
      That’s because we were NOT using the “Snug & Fit” Huggies brand–lol
      Thanks for reading and commenting honey!

  10. Laura Jacobson says

    Oh about a month ago, we put a swim diaper on by mistake…and leaked all over. Couldnt figure out why it was leaking until we noticed it was the swim diaper instead! Had to laugh! 🙂

  13. June Lisle says

    My most memorable diaper moment was from a child at a day care I worked at. He had a massive blowout shortly after I already changed him. He was all smiles the whole time. But I was a little freaked out wondering if he was ok because there was so much poop. I had to change his clothes and everything. He was fine. Not sick at all.

    • Eileen Carter-Campos says

      Kelly,

      The “blow outs” seem to be the baby special 😉
      LOL—the worse–in the middle of the night or when you are out and about—ughhhhh
      LOL–
      Thanks for reading and commenting sweets!

  15. yesenia salazar says

  16. Ana Z. says

  17. Harmony B says
