Times Square New Year’s Eve Attendees Report Using Diapers to Keep Spots

Attendee videos point to no reentry plus no restrooms inside barricades as the driver of the practice.

Overview

  • TikTok creator @mickmicknyc recorded on-site interviews where a man displayed a liner pad and nearby attendees said they planned to wear diapers.
  • The official event FAQ states viewing areas are first-come, there is no reentry for any reason, and no public restrooms or food vendors are available inside the barricaded zones.
  • Some spectators reported arriving as early as 5–6 a.m., describing waits of roughly 19–20 hours in cold, tightly packed conditions.
  • Mainstream outlets amplified the clips and social-media reactions, highlighting widespread shock and humor at the reported workaround.
  • Times Now reported it could not independently verify the viral claims shown in the videos.
