I use cloth diapers, so I don't typically have nighttime emergencies, but I've heard of people using a dish towel with safety pins and a bread bag taped over top. Seriously.
As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.
This happened to me recently with the twins. Luckily - it's summer and I was able to locate some swim diapers.
You could just put a lot of towel layers over the crib sheet (or toddler bed sheet). This is something that I'm thinking of doing since my three year old requires pull ups at night - BUT has started taking them off. So he wakes up in a puddle of pee every morning. I have no idea how to work on this with him as I'm not in his room at night. I've heard about waking them up to go to the potty - but HELLO there is NO WAY that I'm risking him waking up and refusing to go back to bed. Now I'm completely off topic and just talking about myself.
Good luck with improvising diapers - apparently I have no suggestions.
HILARIOUS! i always have spare random diapers floating around in my car or old purses. it's just a matter of finding one. hope you got some and stocked up this time. i could only imagine.
in the middle of the night?

Great post. Have a wonderful WW.
ReplyDeleteI'm crabby in the morning, but I can count on you for a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny!
A nice creative (not so) Wordless Wednesday! I think I'd go with a kitchen dish towel in a diaper emergency!
ReplyDeleteha!!! I KNOW i used the pad thing before

You are very creative. But are you sure bubble pack wouldn't work?
ReplyDeleteSome amusing alternatives to an age-old problem.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO, SO creative, Suzie!! But how do those pancakes work?
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you at my blog - come see! :)
I'll never think of pancakes the same way!
ReplyDeleteBecky
Oh, dang!! That's so funny!!
ReplyDeleteGeez, Idunno...
I guess I'd use a towel and some duct tape. You know, you can use duct tape for anything!
you are so creative...
ReplyDeleteVery good! :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha... fun post and oh so true.
ReplyDeleteOh poor you if that was last night. The post is funny. Pancakes! Happy WW!
ReplyDeletePancakes could be a little messy! I guess you'd have to find the 24 hour 7 eleven or something! Happy WW! Thanks for stopping by mine :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Especially the bubble wrap, could make sitting down in the nappy a cracker of an experience!

HILARIOUS! i always have spare random diapers floating around in my car or old purses. it's just a matter of finding one. hope you got some and stocked up this time. i could only imagine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot... that would be quite a dilemma!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WW yesterday and for your compliments. I'm sorry I'm late getting by.
Have a great day!
Feminine napkins, duct tape, and the smallest panties you can find!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha...I go to the 24 hr Walgreens, of course!
ReplyDeleteWell pancakes are absorbent! I know cause they suck up every ounce of syrup and are still dry if you don't scarf 'em down fast enough. ;-)
