The answer

We advise you to wear a diaper (protective underwear) to safeguard your ihram garments from impurity. If it is not possible to protect yourself except by tying a cloth around the private parts, you may tie it, and no fidyah (expiation) is required of you.

If the diaper, along with its tying, falls off, then it is permissible to wear trousers. In this case, fidyah becomes obligatory upon you, which is: fasting for three days, or feeding six poor persons—half a sa' to each poor person, or sacrificing a sheep. As for wearing a shirt, it is not permissible.
