Abstract: The diaper change detection means includes a hand held case, particulate sensor, speaker, light, processing means, and powering means. The sensor is held in the hand and held up to the diaper where said sensor can detect the presence of particulates emanating from the soiled diaper. The sensor would be held outside of clothing but near enough to the diaper to detect the particulates. The activation button would be depressed by the user. The processing means receives a signal from the sensor, and transmits an audible alarm in the form of a beep via the speaker. The alerting means also includes a light to show the state of the sensor.
