Used?
My god.
What a waste. Diapers are Waaaay to expensive to just thrash like that. Very odd.
Guess I didn't realize they had such a need for baby diapers. Thats a lot of diapers!
Good Grief! What a shame! Orphanages could have used these!
Those are old-school diapers, too, the kind with the plastic outer shell. They don't make em like that anymore - they're now covered in the soft, "fabric-like" paper that is waterproof but supposedly more biodegradable. These things, now, they will be here (environmentally) in five hundred years, still lingering in our soil.

I see this and shudder. It's why I use cloth diapers for my kids. Yeesh.
what a waste....it must be musty in there thank god they arent used ewwww....nasty ...lol
Is the feces or [hopefully] something else?
How would you get rid of something lie that? incinerate?
He Motts that is how to get back at the person who opened that meat locker.... lock them in there for an hour or so!
Don't open the bags....
LOL! Don't open indeed.
Boy if the roof ever leaked just think how much rain water these diapers would be able to absorb !
ARE They still there? I know what I am going to grab when I go ghost hunting!
Any of those for adults?
I am seriously thinkin about going up to CT , and cleaning that room out. That green box of pampers goes for like 300 bucks in the diaper fetish market!
Thanks MR CASH, you made my day.
Have you ever thought the diapers were needed so that the patients wont never have an excuse to leafve there room/cell? or if they were in somekind of therape they wouldnt have to stop there session to go to the bathroom. ? im not trying to be an ass im actually wondering
That is just too weird!
Alot of adult handicapped wear diapers,,not just babies
Yes, adult diapers left behind are quite common in these kinds places. However, most, if not all, were infant sized, which confused me.
Was there a need for them because of patients getting pregnant? I hope not.
This is very odd to me. I would like to know how long these have been here and why they were just left? Also infant sized what was the need for them? I cannot wait to get up there and explore for myself.
I dont understand why they would use infant diapiers for the adults. This room should have been more organized. I guess they are closed down for a reason mmh......
Maybe they were donations. When asking for diaper donations they didn't mention "Adult Diapers".
GROSSSSSSS...
Would not wanted to be the person that had to clean that up.
................................shudder.......................shiver..........................
I guess, some of the clean/ unused diapers, or if there are some in unopened packages are re-usable.. right? I mean to recycle.. lol
those are disposalble diapers, they could have gone to shelters.
Doesn't this make you want dive in, like a ballpit at McDonald's?
Perhaps they had more baby diapers left BECAUSE they had less call for them?

BTW, I used to work in a medical rehab and some of the wheelchair bound women used to use baby diapers in the place of maxipads, because they were easier to get into position under you if you can't stand. It can be hard for women with paralysis to tell when things are in the right position down there or if things have shifted. Bigger pad = less likely a mess.
Often adult diapers are fully opened and placed on top of the drawsheet, Sometimes adults are incontinent of stool and urine when they are extremely ill. Hospitala are not overstaffed they are hard work. Its a convenience for nursing and nursing assistants to quickly freshen a bed without changing all the bed linen, it's not a perfect world you do the "best"" you can with what is available.
