Bite away xD Bonus bracelet photo because I mentioned them in my post. And, just in case you were wondering: no, I'm not gaudy enough to wear all of them at once.

Yea, watches are fun. I like to have a watch on one wrist, and a bracelet on the other!

I've only ever had the space (a sample, so I don't remember them very well since it was just 2 diapers and that was a while ago), and the Little Pawz (which I have several bags of and it is my go-to diaper now). I want to say, honestly, that Space has a smoother, shiny-er plastic shell. Smoothness might go to LP, though. You can (I think?) get a sample pack with one of each in there. I personally preferred LP because of the design and the slight difference in the feel of the outer shell. But you can't really go wrong. IMHO, the diaper that will win is the diaper that has - in your opinion - a better outer design (i.e. do you prefer aliens, or animals). Hope that helps!

I want to echo a vote for the ABU diapers. Pretty much any one of their diapers will do (same diaper, different outer shells). I personally prefer the Little Pawz. Only catch is the price, but the cost per diaper is much better if you buy in bulk (i.e. half a case).

" If you do order from this person at netdiapers, be very aware that you are dealing with a potential con man that has supported websites involving pedophilia. A person that cared nothing about customers. A liar. A thief. Stay away!" You know how people analyze Trump's tweets? You know how there's usually some sort of pattern? This, to me, feels like it could have been written by Trump. Not trying to get political here, I just thought that that was worth pointing out!

^ this is more or less what I would have said if I replied this morning. A great example is acephobia and bi erasure in the LGBTQ+ community. That's a sentence with a lot of jargon, and I honestly don't care to unpack it, and I'm sure that I'll still be understood nonetheless.

Yea I understand that. I don't blog about ABDL stuff on my Tumblr, and I'd like to keep it that way.

^ That's a pretty legit question. I don't have much experience with pintrist but I can talk about Tumblr. DD and Tumblr are very different websites. Probably the most important difference being that DD is dedicated to ABDL/ageplayers/curious people, which is to say DD has a very niche audience. Tumblr is open to basically anyone, anyone with any interest (cartoons, fashion, politics, space, science, personal blogging, food) can start a Tumblr and find content that relates to their interests. While the target audiences are different between the two websites, the layout of each website is also quite different (as would probably be expected). Tumblr users can easily share content of any media type (text, videos, links, audio bits), and they can also search the site for certain content. Searching is done with "tags," much like the hashtag of twitter or the tags that DD users can attach to their threads (i.e. if I wanted to search for content related to outer space, I would search for the tag #space, or something similar), and all content that a user shares is posted on their blog. Almost like a Facebook wall feed. On the other hand, DD is broken up into several sections. one part of the website is dedicated to a gallery, one part is a board forum, one part a chat room. Users who hang out in the chat don't always post on the boards. While we can share links and audio with each other, it isn't as seamless as it is on Tumblr. So, to actually answer the question: Tumblr offers the advantage of being able to connect with people of varying interests. This website hosts a very niche community, Tumblr hosts a multitude of communities, niche and otherwise. This means that I can find content relating to all of my interests: cartoons, asexuality, literature, art, video games, music artists, etc. Users who post content on their blog can, imo, be compared to kids decorating their room. They want their room to reflect all of their diverse interests, and that's what their blog is. Except they can decorate with all types of media: from text posts to videos. Here on DD we can really only discuss so much: diapers. Yes, there is a lot of diversity in the community in that some people mess, some people don't, some people are furry, some aren't, etc. But the conversation starts with, ends with, and revolves around diapers. I also need to say that each big social media outlet has a certain vibe, or a certain set of stereotypes about it. FB has (imo) become the place where people complain about WalMart and politics. Tumblr is regarded, by many, as where all the weird kids who have diagnosed themselves with a mental illness hang out, and/or the website where all the non-cis/non-het kids complain about society. I'm touching on a very complicated stereotype here in only like 3 sentences so just take with a grain of salt.

Yea I'm pretty clueless also. I just have a lot of friends who give me tea haha. I have like 2 containers of jasmine tea from China (loose), and that Chinese green tea (loose also). It seems to be super strong compared to bagged tea, but yea a bag helps. If for no other reason, to at least know what you're drinking haha.

Get involved with a club or group of some sort, maybe you'll be able to find out what others are doing // planning to do with their degrees. I went to France to teach English, because I talked to other people studying French and found out about that job opportunity that way. I feel like I'm saying "it's not what you know, but who you know," and I totally hate that expression for a lot of reasons. But it sometimes helps to just talk to people. As a fellow student, feel free to send a PM and vent, atnboy.

I have a friend who brought me some Chinese green tea, and I had a tea here in the states called "jade green tea" that tasted similar: so whatever tea that is. Other than that: jasmine tea, ginger tea, green tea in general, iced tea (black, obvs), sometimes chai.

Sorry that you're going through this. It sounds like you're doing a fantastic job, though. Going to see teachers and to a tutoring center is exactly what a fantastic student does, especially this early in the semester (speaking as both a teacher and a student, here). So your profs appreciate it, I'm sure. I wish I had some advice for fighting with yourself, but I'm afraid that I don't have the same experience with anxiety/depression. I guess I mainly wanted you to know that I read this, and that I believe in you!

Oh, sorry!

Well, I don't know where you posted this picture, but unless you posted it on a ABDL-friendly website then I don't see how this is surprising.

I've only sifted through this thread, but does DSM-V really list us with a disorder?

I get it also! And, I have a few. Yesterday I sat down at my desk, and for some reason my chair was at a higher setting than usual so if I had my foot in a certain position then my feet weren't touching the floor. So that made me feel neat. Also, once I was in the back seat, going somewhere with my parents, and the seat belt did that thing where it locks up. So I was locked in tight and couldn't move forward very much, if at all, so that did it for me too.

Update: I got Tank in the mail. He's ADORABLE but I'm not sure if this lil dude does a good job at cleaning. The suds don't really go through his skin very much (if that makes any sense). BUT, today I had my soap bar in one hand and Tank in the other and that worked great! I think these lil buddies would do better with liquid soap.

Welcome!

I just want to second this!

!! So many Little Pawz!!

Just bought Tank the shark! I'm excited for him to come in the mail, this will make showers much more interesting! I will say that it was a few dollars more than I would have liked. Also the website gives a 404 error when I try to look at their bundle options, but I really only need 1 and I loved Tank so I just bit the bullet! Yay!
