For parents and caregivers of individuals with special needs, keeping nappies secure can be a daily challenge. Whether due to sensory sensitivities, curiosity, or behavioural tendencies, some children and adults may attempt to remove or tamper with their nappies, leading to discomfort, hygiene concerns, and even distress.

At Wonsie, we understand these challenges, which is why our specially designed adaptive bodysuits provide a practical and effective solution for keeping nappies secure and preventing unwanted access.

Why Do Some Individuals Try to Remove Their Nappies?

There are several reasons why a child or adult may attempt to remove or access their nappy:

• Sensory Sensitivities – Some individuals find the feeling of a nappy uncomfortable or irritating.
• Curiosity & Exploration – Young children and individuals with developmental disabilities may remove their nappies out of curiosity.
• Self-Soothing Behaviours – Some individuals engage in repetitive behaviours that involve removing clothing.
• Communication Challenges – If a person is uncomfortable but unable to express it verbally, they may remove their nappy as a way of seeking relief.

Regardless of the reason, having a secure and comfortable clothing solution can significantly reduce these occurrences and make daily life easier for both the individual and their caregivers.

How Do Bodysuits Help Keep Nappies Secure?

Full Coverage & One-Piece Design

Wonsie bodysuits provide complete torso coverage, ensuring that nappies remain securely in place. Unlike regular T-shirts that can ride up, a bodysuit stays snug and prevents easy access to the nappy area.

Snap Closures for Security

The reinforced snap closures at the crotch make it difficult for individuals to remove their nappies themselves. This extra layer of protection helps prevent unwanted removal, reducing mess and stress.

Soft, Comfortable Fabric

Made from cotton-rich fabric, Wonsie bodysuits are tag-free and breathable and gentle on sensitive skin, helping to reduce irritation and sensory discomfort that may lead to nappy removal.

Back-Zip Styles for Extra Protection

For those who require extra security, Wonsie offers back-zip bodysuits that increases the difficulty for the wearer to remove their clothing independently. These are particularly beneficial for individuals who frequently attempt to undress or access their nappies.

Preventing Smearing and Hygiene Concerns

In some cases, individuals with developmental disabilities may engage in nappy digging or smearing behaviours due to sensory-seeking tendencies. This can be distressing for both the individual and their caregivers.

Bodysuits act as a barrier, preventing easy access to the nappy and significantly reducing the likelihood of smearing incidents. This helps:

• Maintain hygiene and cleanliness
• Reduce stress for parents, carers, and support workers
• Promote dignity and comfort for the wearer

Who Can Benefit from Wonsie Bodysuits?

• Children and adults with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, or other developmental disabilities
