A diapering assistance system utilizes a diaper and a diaper holding member which retains the top end of the diaper and suspends its bottom end. A belt member attached to the diaper holding member, encircles the waist of the individual being diapered. The belt member has connection devices, such as hook and loop connectors, and constitutes the sole component used for attaching the system to the individual. The method of use includes securing the top end of the diaper to the diaper holding member, suspending the diaper therefrom and behind the individual to be diapered, encircling the individual with the belt element, and securing it around the individuals waist. The bottom end of the diaper is then lifted between the legs and to the front of the individual. The diaper is attached to the individual and the diaper holding member and belt member are removed.
