Only my boyfriend. I rant about this all the time... don't think it's a shameful thing, but most definitely a private thing that belongs between you and an intimate partner in the privacy of your home- like any other fetish.

Well, I don't make it a point to mention this - but I don't actively attempt to hide it either. For starters, it just never was a big deal as I have been in diapers my entire life. Lately I have been a little socially shy, but not because of the diapers themselves, that comes down to medical conditions making it imposable to handle it without some sort of a caregiver.
But as for how meny have I told - I seriously have no idea, since I never give it much thought at all, bought up for the same reasons you might brig up a broken arm, malfunctioning organ, medications, on any other medical subject.

havent told a soul

i honestly thought about telling my last ex a few times during our relationship, but never did. she was a little kinky thing, liking some bdsm, pain, biting, clawing (i thought my back would never heal up!), tying up, spanking, etc etc. plus she liked doing the cute "wittle-girwl" talk with me, whining and coloring books, so i kinda figured diapers wouldnt have been that big of a leap. i dropped a few hints here and there on diapering her if she didnt put the phone down and go to the bathroom or give her a pacifier for her whining, and dressing her in fuzzy footie pjs lol she didnt seem to care for the ideas and called me wierd that i brought it up every now and again.

then the trains collided! and they didnt stop colliding for a long time. she cheated on me with her ex, i kept her on (for some... reason unknown to me... ::rolls eyes and face plam:: ), more of her cheating, she ran off for a bit..... ya know? i'l just stop there, because that's another topic lol long story.... shortened up a bit, she turned out to have more issues than national geographic and playboy combined, severely skewed look and expectations of me and life in general, and if i did tell her, she probably would have told everyone she knew, plus some, and just would have turned out horribly!! and im glad i never did

my current lover-girl, however, i kinda see that conversation happening within the year, perhaps ::fingers crossed::

NOBODY! It would be awkward for me to let anyone know because I work with children (volunteer). As you're probably aware, people jump to the wrong conclusions about diaper lovers. (I also like to wear little girl clothes; I make my own wardrobe). Being able to mentor children is important to me because I never had kids of my own. (Had a part-time foster daughter for almost 12 years; that was a trip!)

It would be awkward for me too. But I did tell my last GF that I was an adult baby, and I never saw her again after that. Oh well, her loss.

I've told a handful of people.  Mainly girlfriends.  The first one I ever told was kinda freaked out by it, but that was back in highschool.  That kinda made me not want to tell any one else.  But when I went to college I kinda opened up again.  I actually just told my closest friend two days ago, and she was really cool with it.  She then told me that she's always wanted to suck on a paci, and all of that.  I think she blushed more than I did at that moment in time. lol.  So I'm going to be getting her a paci soon

i told an old therapist that i dont see anymore...i just told her that i like to wear diapers sometimes...that was it primarily.

I have only told my wife that I like wearing diapers

However when I was a kid I was caught by my brother with a diaper, he told one of my best friends at the time but we stayed friends, also I'm sure he told plenty of people about it over the years.

[poopy_dipes]

Two ex girlfriends, one male friend and my wife. I've joked about it with many others (well they thought I was joking but I was really serious)!

[Miss Mama]

I told a friend of mine that liked diapers, in a rather vague manner. She openly talked about her interest in babyish items and sucked on pacifiers in front of me. I acted on impulse and told her and I regret doing so...She was cool about it and admitted liking them too. Being into diaper is a very personal and private thing for me and despite that she was very cool about it all, I can't get rid of this feeling of regret.

No one on terra firma knows that I am ABDL. But of course my comrades on this site know! You have provided me the emotional support that I needed to work on my final solution! I would of course test the waters, and see if someone is receptive before letting them know. This is strictly need to know.

Update: I have told one friend on FB, unlikely to tell anyone else. She is a special person whose curiosity got me to admit this. This is in most contexts SO material.

[Pangaea]

I haven't told anybody for 24 years, thinking everybody would laugh at me and think I'm crazy. Now, I've been telling people I trust, give or take 6. They've all been very understanding about it and don't think any less of me. It feels extremely liberating to come out of the diaper closet, for me. It feels like I have finally accepted who I am rather than trying to be somebody I'm not.

All my friends are very open minded though. I could never have a close minded person as a friend, both because I hate them and they hate me, as I'm fairly introverted and somewhat socially awkward. So I knew my friends would accept it.

I have told 2 people. The first was a boyfriend. At first I asked him to shave my private parts and he did, then I asked him to diaper me using his daughter's diapers (she was visiting her Mom for the weekend) He thought it was odd but he did it anyway. I spent the better part of the day in a diaper that day but he couldn't handle this side of me so he broke up with me shortly afterwards.

I kept my secret for many more years and after being married for 8 yrs, I finally confided in my husband. He said he was ok with it but eventually, he grew to dislike it too. Instead of risking our relationship, I resorted to just wearing while he was out of the house. may not be perfect but at least I get to wear when I need to.

As far as other people knowing about my diapers, I never told anyone else but I think my parents knew because my dad confided in me that my mother had been reading my diary which I kept in the same place as my diapers so you do the math. Mom never confronted me about it but I am sure she knows or knew when I still lived at home and since my Mom is a huge gossip, I am sure she told other people including my grandmother.

update!

finally told my girlfriend of nearly a year. her reaction: whatever makes me happy, she's ok with. she even didnt rule out wearing herself one day when we were talking about a diapered-day movie marathon! however, i wont make her do anything she isnt comfortable with. also she asked me why i didnt tell her earlier in the relationship, and seemed almost angry that i didnt lol. i told her that i've heard too many nagative stories on the forum and i wanted to tread carefully. she added that it'll take alot more than that to shoo her away; it's just part of who i am and she loves me for all that i am. also comparing it to the bdsm scene that has come to the forefront in recent years, saying the world is strange for not accepting/tolerating my fetish/lifestyle as much as others. i still havent worn around her yet, but i dont think it'll be a big thing if/when i do, i just want to introduce her into it a bit at a time.

so lucky lucky me!
