ISO an old story post about diaper-training your Little (DD universe)
This was a post from several years ago, either on ADISC or here, from what I can remember. Searching through ADISC and Reddit yielded no dice.
This story was essentially a parody of a toddler potty-training guide, except that it was used by caregivers to teach adult Littles how to use diapers, since it was assumed in the guide that Littles would eventually become unpotty-trained, or were already untrained.
It went through all the usual recommendations used in potty training, like (1) Exposure to promote awareness, and (2) Encouraging interest and interaction. And then turn it backwards.
It was “backwards” in the aspect that the bullet tips were things like, “Encourage your Little to choose their own designs during diaper changes to support their interest and decision-making skills.”
Step three was something like (3) No more underwear: How to switch your Little to diapers.
This step would be the alternate-universe equivalent of giving a toddler their first real pair of underwear during training. Instead, it’s about changing a Little’s clothes to accommodate the size of bulky diapers. Time to toss out the skinny jeans and those lace underwear! /s
Step four was (4) Shaping diaper dependency, or something similar. So instead of shaping a toddler’s skills about using the toilet, the alternate-universe idea is using strategies to convince Littles that they need to be in diapers. For their own wellbeing, of course. (Lying fingers crossed)
It could have been a Diaper Dimension short story about maturosis, because the theme fits really well.
But I checked through Personalias’ works, who writes a lot of Diaper Dimension stories, and I didn’t see anything that seemed similar to what I remembered. Same with Baby Sofia.
If this is still around somewhere, I’d love a link if someone could find it! But I understand there’s a chance that it could have been deleted. And even though I’m good at writing, I don’t think that this was just a random, mismatched idea that somehow created itself, unless I was spontaneously visited by the Inspiration Fairy!
