From Leggings to Diaper: The Zero-Turn Rodeo
There I was—Saturday morning, coffee in hand, staring down the jungle my yard had become. The zero-turn mower was waiting like a bucking bronco, and I was dressed in the least OSHA-approved mowing outfit possible: shiny leggings stretched over a big, puffy diaper.
Why? Because when you’re incontinent, you don’t always get the choice. What you can choose is whether to mope about it—or laugh and turn yard work into a comedy show. I picked the second option.
The Setup
I swung onto the mower like a wannabe stunt double, leggings squeaking against the vinyl seat. Almost instantly, my plastic pants started slipping below my waistband, leaving me perched on what felt like a human slip ’n slide. From the porch, I could see one of my neighbors sipping coffee. Little did they know, they were about to witness Saturday Morning Live.
The Ride
I fired up the mower and tore off like a pastel NASCAR rookie. Every bump bounced me sideways, every sharp turn sent me drifting. The diaper puff shifted, the plastic pants shimmied lower, and my leggings had about as much traction as cooking oil. At one point, I was clinging on with one hand and waving at the neighbors with the other—just in time for my diaper waistband to flash above my leggings like a neon billboard.
Their faces? Equal parts horror and amusement.
Mine? Pure concentration… and maybe a touch of please let this seat have a seatbelt.

The Perils
Sharp corners were the real danger. Nothing quite prepares you for the feeling of your own butt trying to eject you. Plastic pants + slippery leggings + zero-turn power = what I now call Extreme Slippery Diaper Drift. From the sidewalk, I spotted a kid pointing like I was some kind of circus act. Honestly? Fair.
The Wife’s Suggestion
When I finally rolled back toward the porch, grass-streaked and panting, my wife just smirked.
“Why don’t you mow in just your diaper? Maybe you’ll finish faster—before the neighbors get too much of a show.”
Challenge accepted.
So there I was: purple hoodie, sneakers, and one very puffy diaper steering a zero-turn mower like it was Saturday morning NASCAR. If embarrassment burns calories, I mowed half an acre and lost five pounds.

The Aftermath
I got the lawn mowed, but I looked like I’d wrestled a jungle gym in a baby store. Grass clung to my puffy diaper, my hoodie was streaked with sweat, and my hair was flying like I’d just stepped out of a wind tunnel. The mower sat there smug, while the neighbors pretended not to stare—though I’m pretty sure half the block has a new story to tell.The Lesson
Diapers might be mandatory for me—but embarrassment isn’t. Leggings turn even the messiest, slipperiest ride into a runway event. And if I’m going to wrestle a mower, I’ll do it in shiny spandex… or heck, even just a diaper, if that’s the comedy act the day calls for.
Would I do it again? Absolutely. Because mowing in leggings—or in diapers—isn’t lawn care.
It’s performance art.

I’m sure you were a sight for sore eyes. Too bad I wasn’t around to watch. I probably would’ve laughed my ass off watching the comedy show. I hope with all the sweating you endured out there you didn’t end up with a diaper rash.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. I wear protection too, and it’s not always easy. Seeing you laugh about it and even turn it into a story makes me feel a little braver about my own situation.
