I hate to say it, but DH and I, were attending a dinner a number of years back at a friends house, and there were a good number of us in attendance, with younger children mixed in. Anyhow, there was a fairly new little one in our midst that day, whom the mother had tucked away in the corner on a blanket on the floor, and we were there for a good 4-5 hours, and that little one wasn't changed once in the whole time we were there. Not once.
I suspect in households where finances are tight, children go much longer in the same diaper, so my opinion of commercials that tout how many hours a baby or child can go without being changed, shame on them.
