Question

What is the best way to dispose of used diapers?

I'm a diaper lover and wear gentle steps size 7 diapers from dollar general.

I still live at home with my parents because I'm only 13 years old and I'm a male.

We burn wood for heat mostly and I'm wondering if I could dispose of my used wet diapers in our wood stove?

Would the disposable baby diapers burn in the wood stove?

If not what would be the best way to discretely dispose of my diapers without my parents finding out about them?

Answer 1

The best way to dispose of used baby diapers is to wrap them up and place them in the trash can.

However since you said you wear diapers and your parents don't know about then then you could wrap them up in a black plastic bag and throw them out that way.

Or dig a hole in your backyard somewhere and throw them in the hole.

Or yes you could burn the used baby diapers in the wood stove when your parents are not around.

The baby diapers should burn within about 10 to 20 minutes but just put one or two of the diapers in the stove at a time.

You don't want to put too many in there as the wetness could put the fire out.

Disposable baby diapers will burn in a wood stove.

I use a wood burning stove in the winter time and when it's going I burn my toddlers used diapers in the wood stove.

I have 2 kids in diapers full time right now and one is an 14 month old boy and the other kid in diapers is a 2 and 1/2 year old boy.

They are both in diapers full time and so our trash can will fill up quickly which leaves no room for other trash so when I can I burn the diapers in the wood stove.

I've tried burning the diapers in a burn barrel but they would not burn really good but since the inside of a wood stove is so hot the diapers melt and then burn even when wet.

It's a quick easy way to dispose of the diapers.

I don't burn a lot of them at a time but when I change both my kids diapers I immediately take the uses diapers over and put them into the wood stove and within about 10 to 20 minutes the disposable diapers are burned down to ashes.

Answer 2

The baby diapers will burn in the wood stove as long as you have the wood stove going hot enough.

Also just put one diaper in the wood stove at one time so that it does not put out the fire as the wet diaper will need to dry out first from the heat of the wood stove and the fire.

I have burned baby diapers and adult diapers as well in my wood stove too when it's winter time and they burn okay.

Another idea you could do to dispose of baby diapers is to remove the SAP from the diaper and flush the SAP down the toilet and then burn just the out part of the diaper or throw the outer plastic part of the diaper into the trash and it won't be as noticeable.
