The diaper change alerting means includes an oblong sensor, speaker, processing means, and powering means. The oblong sensor is positioned about a main portion of the diaper where said sensor can detect the presence of moisture associated with soiling of the diaper. The alerting means can be integrated into the design of a reusable diaper or a removable embodiment that fits within a pouch located about the main portion of a disposable diaper. The processing means receives a signal from the oblong sensor, and transmits an alarm in the form of music via the speaker.
