Luvsgurl was talking about Care Facilities, not hospitals. I've been to dozens of others, as we have quite a few out here in Vegas. Not one of them has ever used cloth diapers. Not only are they incredibly work intensive to deal with but they also require facilities that are large enough to handle them when they're being dealt with en masse. I know it's fun to ponder but cloth is not used AT ALL in any modern caregiving facilities. In-home care is different. That's usually dictated at the patient's behest. It's also usually done in the least expensive fashion possible. When you're referring to a bedridden adult, that is not cloth. Remember it this way: How many large-scale disposable adult diaper (I'm talking mass production, several million to a billion diapers per year) providers are there, not including the ABDL ones, just in the US? 10? 12? 15? How many large-scale adult cloth diaper production companies are there? Zero. There is no demand for them on any scale but the individual purpose. Otherwise, you'd find a lot more evidence for their wide usage, and that evidence simply does not exist.

I got in touch with the manufacturer of Fabines (buntewindel.de - I live in Germany). They offered me a case of 100 for 165 Euro (about $230). I nearly bought them, and was going to try and sell some on ebay, but with the shipping costs, they would end up being almost as much as the ones from ABUniverse. I'm not sure about these anyway. After using Super Dry Kids and ABU Cushies, I'm hooked on the one wide tape design.

Please for the love of all that is holy change the background on your site.

I would have like to talk to you all about a subject that has for year haunted my mind. actually now i come to think of it, already since early childhood when i was approximately 6-7 years in age. Its a grave and serious issue too, as it will without a doubt in mind wipe out vast numbers off diaper lovers. The thing im talking about is the large though limited amount of plastic we have left to produce. most, or perhaps all plastics are made from oil or its by products. and every one with a teeny tiny bit of common sense knows it has ending supplies. A smart person would at this stage argue that recycling plastic could give many additional years. This is true but this does not offer a permanent solution, its merely a way to delay the inevitable. also i like to add that the probability is great that years from now it will just not be socially accepted any more to produce anything that in essence designed to be throw in the thrash because of the appearing consequences of the disposable culture as we know it today. This all can lead me only to conclude that disposable diaper are gowning away,... FOREVER. I know its gone happen its just a matter of time. I will also be one off the diaper lover "killed in action" as my love only applies to disposable diapers, and have no feelings toward cloth based what so ever. If the time comes then ill just cease to be a diaper lover as there are no diapers left to love. And its wrong to assume its something bound to happens in a very distant future. the disposable/cloth debate is already well under way, and don't expect it to lay down any time soon. My message to you all is enjoy your diapers as much as you can, as the disposable diapers era is probably soon too end....

Well, If you are in public and your underwear is showing and you are not embarrassed, then what is wrong with you? If you are asking this question then what is wrong with you?Notice it was not a mtter of "is?" but of "what?". It does not matter WHAT the underwear is/. It brings up the question in the minds of all but low-class low-grades. "were you brought up in a pig sty?" What is wrong here is that you do not have a clue. That it is applicable to you is much more the fault of the culture than you. You are more like an innocent bystander and as much a victim for not being taught. Had persons been taught then they would make sure it does not happen. But it is a bass-akward culture when people give birth to an elephant when someone calls a dufus a "retard" but it is perfectly all right to go around with your skivvies in plain sight

The parents did not do their job. The wife and daughter had no problem This was not written in Martian: Learn to read

The ADA includes a proviso of reasonableness and says squat about going around with your undies showing and as a "redneck" do you really want to have the government in on this or support an attitude that would be considered "liberal" (although it would make even liberals blush)? As I said it does not matter what the undies are so that diaper does not hold water Now, this was an accident of fate but when the more couth wife and daughter called attention to it, the lack of caring is just soooo "screw you" that it demonstrates just being plain in-your-face self-absorbed of the knuckle dragging variety

Things like this are good reasons why I think the community as a whole should agree on a set of behavioral guidelines, a code of conduct, a set of ethics. Things ABDLs do, things ABDLs don't do. Something to adhere to if you want to be a member of the community in good standing. A BIG part of that should be zero tolerance for postings of any kind involving persons under the age of 18. All of us cringe at the thought of the public considering us as a group of freaks and pedos, yet what kind of message are we sending when we allow our most popular sites to be filled with stories and/or photos that encourage that kind of behavior?

Would it be going too far if all stories had to be mod reviewed and approved before they could be posted?

You will not see an end to oil based products in your lifetime. There is plenty of oil in America and the rest of the world. The only problem is the environmental Nazis. The environmental hacks are actually Marxist and or neo-socialist that want to destroy America. The environazis don't want us to harvest domestic oil. Rest assured, disposabble diapers will be here forever. For the record, I wear and prefer cloth diapers. I have no desire to force my preference on anyone by law.

lol, given the current rate of il consumption as of right now we have still at least a milleniums worth of oil, not including the 900 years worth of oil the environMENTALists won't let us tap into within our own country(dakotas, not anwar)

Me too. I wish ABU had just followed through on their promise to deliver an "Overnight" version of what they were already making. I'd pay $2.50, maybe even $3 per for an SDK with Abena 4 absorbency. I wouldn't give a nickel for these idiotic looking pieces of crap. I don't pay for T-shirts with company advertising on them. I'm damned sure not going to pay TOP premium prices for ham-handed company advertising on them. At least ABU is subtle about how they attach their brand to the diaper. A big website address across the front? Fuck that.

Please forgive me for saying this, and it is not my intent to attack or put anyone on the spot here. Would any of you accuse Thomas Harris of Murder or Cannibalism because he created Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs? By that logic Stephen King must surely want for horrors to walk upon the earth and people to die a horrific death. Merely writing something is not the same as engaging in something, I think people loose sight of that when the topic is such an emotive hot button topic like child welfare. Are you saying then that if you read a murder mystery that you then condone murder? I myself am morally opposed to murder, but I am not morally opposed to a good whodunit. I am morally opposed to torture, but that didn't stop me from reading The Count of Monte Cristo. I am morally opposed to real life instance of child abuse, a few words typed on screen however much I might not like them cannot be given the same weight. From what I read of the story it was not my cup of tea, and I can understand people not wanting to associate with content that makes them uncomfortable. DD has every right to dictate the type and nature of the content on this site, and I can understand people thinking that such content could lead to a misunderstanding about the nature of our community (Becuase you know grownups in diapers has no other way in which it can be misinterpreted) All of those points are valid and have merit on their own. With that said, I can't help but think that when you give an story, a story that is made up and involves no real people and harms no one, the same moral equivalence as real child abuse that you detract from the real thing.
