  1. Donations have dried up since we can't use Paypal for them anymore, so we are surviving on ad-sales alone and those have been weak this year. We're not about to be shut off or anything, but our funds are low and we need to pay $187 every two weeks just to keep the server on; plus more for domains, software licenses, support, etc.
  2. Improved the anti-spam checks. Valid comments can be posted still.
  3. I'll have to have some, I'm a training-pants boy
  4. FuNDip! A classic. No basket here
  5. For now I have resolved the spam problem with the photo board. This may change with the new version.
  6. Looking for someone to design a skin for our photo gallery. We need to upgrade to a new version of the software, but our current skin is not compatible. THIS IS A PAID POSITION Skin needs to be made to work for Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.5.x (http://coppermine-gallery.net/) Pay is $60 if you copy our current design (http://www.dailydiapers.com/megapics/index.php) Pay is $100 if you create a fun new look for us! Payment at completion of work. Payment via Paypal, Check, or Gift Card of your choice. e-mail me if interested: allaboutdiapers@hotmail.com
  7. Bad reporting. I care more about the offenders who are in hiding and in violation. Not what they do when they are at home alone.
  8. Are you accusing me of something??? I DID link to the original, lol.
  9. NASA's impact on diapers was more subtle. The agency developed its adult diapers out of necessity. Astronauts floating outside their spacecraft on long spacewalks (which can last five to eight hours) can't just knock off for a bathroom break. During takeoff, astronauts may have to remain strapped for hours in back-laying chairs with their knees and legs above their heads -- a position that increases the need to urinate. Even if crew members dehydrate themselves before takeoff, nature will not be denied: The kidneys will still trickle out a milliliter of urine a minute. NASA estimates that astronauts expel around a liter of urine while in launch position [source: O'Driscoll]. To deal with these issues, NASA first developed the urine collection and transfer assembly, or UCTA, a precursor to the adult diaper that astronauts used throughout the early space program and the Apollo missions [source: Sauer and Jorgensen]. Astronauts wore the UCTA over the liquid cooling garment of the space suit. It connected to the astronaut via a roll-on cuff attached to a collection bag, which the crew could empty into a collection tank via a one-way valve [source: Smithsonian]. A separate system was in place for the astronauts to relieve themselves when not suited up for launch, extravehicular activity or emergency modes. Waste disposal in space carries a load of unique problems. Any solution must be usable in gravity or weightless conditions, and must be workable within the size, weight and power constraints of spacecraft systems. Despite much fiddling and adjustment throughout the early space program, NASA astronauts ultimately found the UCTA to be overly bulky, unsanitary and prone to problems, so NASA developed a Maximum Absorbency Garment, or MAG, for the shuttle program. Although sometimes called space diapers, MAGs are more like hyperabsorbent bike shorts. Several thin layers of material move urine quickly away from the body, after which sodium polyacrylate, a super absorbent polymer (SAP) capable of taking on 400 times its weight in water, locks the moisture away. A MAG can soak up 2 liters (2.1 quarts) of liquid [source: O'Driscoll]. In a pinch, an astronaut can go 8 to 10 hours without needing a change [source: Gekas]. NASA didn't invent disposable diapers, adult diapers, sodium polyacrylate or SAPs. So it's not surprising that many adult diaper manufacturers attest that NASA did not influence their products. There is one somewhat ironic exception, however. In 2007, astronaut Lisa Nowak thrust NASA "diapers" into the media spotlight when police in Orlando, Fla., charged her with the attempted kidnapping of U.S. Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman. Early reports described Nowak driving 950 miles (1,529 kilometers) across five states while wearing an astronaut diaper so that she could skip restroom breaks [source: Fromm]. Court documents later revealed that police actually reported finding two used toddler-sized diapers in Nowak's vehicle, along with packs of diapers in her trunk. Nowak, a mother of three, denies wearing a diaper on the trip, saying the nappies were from 2005, when she, her family and the rest of Houston were evacuated before the advancing Hurricane Rita [source: Schneider]. There was one positive outcome of the Nowak story: According to Steve Goelman, CEO of Unique Wellness, it inspired his company to create adult diapers based on NASA designs. Goelman's company wanted a longwearing garment that, like the MAG, would quickly wick moisture away from the skin and lock it away, thereby avoiding skin irritation and other health problems. "It is only through NASA's technology and idea that we can achieve this and apply it to the health care industry," said Goelman. Goelman believes that Nowak's story may have also helped remove some of the stigma associated with adult incontinence, and that it raised awareness of other uses of adult diapers, such as by race car drivers and skiers. It just goes to show, you never know where a good idea will come from. http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/nasa-inventions/nasa-change-diapers2.htm/printable
  10. Ah Ha! You found a loop hole, we just have to be big kids for the evening!

  12. There's a small butterfly-shaped pad for this very problem: http://www.birchlabs.com/b-sure.html
  13. The male guards have never worked for me. They are too small, and the elastic tens to irritate sensitive parts. The Pampers Extra Protection sound interesting, may have to make a run to target. Converting baby diapers didn't even cross my mind, was looking for something ready-made, but there's no reason I couldn't prep a bag of diapers in advance and grab as needed.
  14. Been wetting more than usual during the day lately, but still want to wear trainers when I am active. Decided to buy some belt-less undergarments to slip-in my trainer, so if needed I could quickly remove the pad and have a dry underpants to continue on it. Was surprised to find that almost no one makes these anymore! Only Dignity and Secure Personal Care seem to offer them now. I know the Dignity ones are not that good, so ordered a bag of Secure's to try. Guess the pull-ups have destroyed another product's market... but you still have to completely undress to change a pull-up, where a belt-less pad can be quickly swapped out.
  15. I have an important question that is going to sound like I am being a dick, but I assure you people will need to know to better help you... Are you looking to get treated/cured, or just to have someone certify your incontinence as real?
  16. Welcome home! And grats on getting in the situation you longed for!
  17. BTW, my Mom washed my reusable items along with my regular laundry = no extra water.
  18. Never been able to get comfortable with a buttplug in, Even the smaller ones.
  19. I'll go on the Panty raid... if I get wear panties too! Bought energy efficient appliances, changed all my bulbs to CFL's and just spent a boatload of cash on insulated doors and windows... the diapers stay!
  20. When I first came online I was starting to experience incontinence and was looking for help and advice. I found Adult Babies to be better informed and less whiny than incontinent folks in those days and found a home in the diaper loving world. But I'm not a baby! Along with wetting I had emotional needs that age-play met, but being a baby or a sissy didn't quite fit me. I wore diapers to stay dry and because it fit my personality better than underwear. but it wasn't quite perfect. The internet evolved... These days you can get anything online - and this access has, over the years, redefined my age-play identity. No longer am I limited to diapers or pads - instead ebay, etsy and crafty folks around the world have given us access to anything we can imagine! I found I liked sippy cups better than baby bottles I like pacifiers, but I also like bigger-kid toys and games. And the clincher: Training pants. Training pants are what I am most comfortable in - both in terms of protection and emotional satisfaction. I'm a kid! I walk, talk, play and learn... but I still have accidents and need protection and love and a bit of regressive behavior from time to time. I wear diapers to bed, like any bed-wetter should, but during the day I wear big boy pants with hidden layers or thirsty protection. I don't baby talk, but I do still love my plushie. I secretly like being able to tinkle my trainers so as not to interrupt my playtime with my cars and trucks! So my questions are: 1) How has the internet helped you define who you are? 2) Would you be where you are now had the net never come to be? Without the internet I think - if I was even alive today - I'd be wearing Depends, constantly uncomfortable and afraid of leaks, and not nearly as happy a person. I wouldn't have understanding friends that helped me through depression, incontinence and overcoming years of abuse. I wouldn't know YOU - you reading this right now - and I'm glad I do know all of you!
  21. Cloth, but with a hidden waterproof layer, and waterproof leg gathers.
  22. Nope. Broke 'em already, lol. This was a test set-up, learning from mistakes as they say.
