notes
It’s a fun way to get guests involved, and it’s good for passing the time. It’s also a great way to get people to interact with each other.
The best part about this game is that it’s easy to play! All you have to do is bring some dirty diapers (if you don’t have any, just ask a friend who has kids) and put them in a bowl or box. Have everyone take turns drawing out one diaper at a time, then read out loud what they find inside their diaper before putting it back in its place. You can make things interesting by writing down funny things that people find inside their diapers on index cards—and if there are any babies present at your party, try having them draw out the dirty diaper themselves!
Buy six diapers.
The first thing you’ll need is the diapers themselves. For this game, I chose a popular brand that I thought would be fun and exciting for everyone to try out. You’ll want to remember that if you’re going with the “swap” option, it’s best to buy several of each diaper type so people can trade and have a few different kinds on hand.
You can buy diapers in bulk online here or at any major retailer like Target or Walmart—just make sure you’re looking at the right size for your baby shower! The number of diapers depends on how many guests will be attending your event, but generally speaking about six should do the trick (or more if you have more than eight people).
Fill each diaper with something that is the same color but a different texture.
Fill each diaper with something that is the same color but a different texture. For example, you could fill one with green Play-Doh and another with red Play-Doh. Or, you could fill one with sand and another with dried beans or rice. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on diapers—or if you’re just lazy like me—you can use the same color diapers for this game! I used two dozen white cloth diapers for my baby shower and they were perfect for this activity (and also cost less than $20).
Give each guest a piece of paper and pen.
Give each guest a piece of paper and pen.
Have everyone write their name on a piece of paper, and then fold it up and put it in their pocket or purse. Ask them to take out the paper when they’re ready to play the game, but not before!
Have guests take turns smelling the diaper and then writing down what they think it is.
To play the game, you’ll need to collect some diapers that have been used by babies. You can find these at your local thrift store or on Craigslist. (If you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding dirty diapers, there’s always the option of buying new ones and then using them as part of your game.)
Once you’ve got a sufficient number of dirty diapers, give each guest a cupcake liner with an odorless object inside it—a piece of food works well! It should be small enough to fit in the liner but large enough not to fall out once they’re put into place in front of guests’ noses. For example: A big slice of pizza would be too large; one small pepperoni is just right!
When everyone has their cupcake liners ready, hand each person two slips of paper—one with “Yes” written on it and another with “No.” Instruct them to smell each diaper until they think they know what its contents are before marking down either “Yes” or “No” on their slip depending on whether they believe there’s poop inside or not (or if they’re unsure).
Keep the diapers covered until it’s your turn to guess.
- Keep the diapers covered until it’s your turn to guess. If you don’t, it will be hard to guess what is inside the diapers. If you do, you can guess correctly!
Open the diaper after everyone has guessed.
The diaper game is really just a way to have fun with your friends. No matter the outcome, you’ll be surprised by what you find inside—and that’s part of the excitement!
Once everyone has guessed their scent, open up the diaper and show it off. If your guests are anything like mine, they’ll be surprised (and a little grossed out) at what they find. But don’t worry: everyone laughs and enjoys themselves! In fact, I’ve never seen anyone get upset about losing this game before. Even if someone guesses wrong and gets covered in something awful-smelling, he or she will probably still laugh about it later on.
The person with the most correct answers wins

Conclusion
We hope this game will be a fun addition to your baby shower festivities. It’s sure to get everyone laughing, especially when you’re trying to guess what is inside the diaper!
