I was just telling Mommy's Bestie/Old College Roommate that I haven't used the potty in over a year. She comes to visit more often now that we're in the same state, and me being an AB has become somewhat of an issue. She's only known me to wear diapers, as I've been wearing them since the day I met her (and Mommy), but I don't think the entire process 'clicked' for her until a few months ago. So, in an attempt to get to know my Little side better, she spent the weekend with us. In between girl-talk with Mommy, she asked many questions about me, and of course, about diapers. We were out at lunch and they were both raving about the toilet paper in the women's restroom. She tried to explain it to me and when the puzzled look came across my face, Mommy told her I don't use the potty anymore, so I wouldn't understand. "Even for. .?" Yup. That, too, honey. It's been well over a year since my thighs have touched a toilet seat for any reason. I have the calendar to prove it. I can tell that she's getting more comfortable with the whole thing, as she was more than happy to talk to me like a toddler, and even poured my drinks into my sippy cup, as well as point out once more that I don't use the potty. (As her and Mommy sped off to the restroom at the drive-in) We'd like her to move in with us for a couple of months so she can get away from her super creepy boyfriend and his abusive relationship drama, so her being OK with me being me is important in order for that to go down. More than that, she's Mommy's best friend, and, being a supportive Little BoyFriend, means that her and I need to be cool too -- and it all starts with understanding and acceptance.

Honey, we all needa have a lil' meet 'n greet. Maybe some lunch or something. I know it's a tough mission, and most, if not all people get pretty nervous and disappear at the last minute, but, I think that at some point, the words on the screen just aren't enough. I think we should make a better effort to get to know our like-minded friends in our areas, no matter how strange they may seem at first impression. Maybe we can get past some of our negative feelings and connotations by connecting in the way that we were meant to as modern people by doing something pretty old-fashioned: Giving each other a chance. I get where you're coming from with all this, and really, the ones that you speak of are the ones that need our help in acclimating themselves to their new persona, and their new roles in society and culture. As someone also comfortable and confident (to enough of a degree), I think I owe a debt to this group that can only be paid in friendship and guidance to those who seek a REAL LIFE with stability, happiness and prosperity. To be clear: I feel that we should help people find a way to achieve what we have achieved; to guide those who are in need of not a Life Coach, but an Alternative Lifestyle Sherpa -- Someone who knows the way to the top. Someone like You. Or Me. Or. . Darkfinn, or 'Cat. We may not have all the answers, or even know the right path for each of our waylaid travelers; but just being there to lend some level-headed advice and ensure that it's properly understood can help make this community the place we envision. All babies, no matter what age, require love, nurturing and guidance. But who says that guidance must come only from Mommies and Daddies?

todd- I feel you on the bag weirdness. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten looks from people not because I'm carrying a backpack, or that I'm heading to the bathroom with it; but because I've got such a guilty, anxious look on my face that reads exactly what's going through my head while I'm doing it. I, too, have "some exhibitionist in me", I find that the bigger rush is in the unnerving experience before and after the diaper change in a public place. And you do have a point about the age thing -- I'm 25 (and don't really look it) so I'm expected to have the kinds of accessories I have, which means that my diaperbag options can fit more into the category of 'diaperbags'. In fact, I own a couple of actual diaperbags, but one of them is Mommy's. If I were 40(and looked it), carrying the same items would seem less attractive. But I'm just taking advantage of it while I can. The sex issue is there as well -- A woman carrying either of these items would garner less attention from most, though I do take a second look at middle-aged women wearing a backpack into Albertson's. But usually only when they're an actual backpack, and not a fashion item. I think the bottom line, like any other semi-permanent accessory, is to find something that fits both your function and your form. I'm sure there's a great diaperbag out there that''ll hold all the things you need, and not look too out-of-place with you attached to it.

I use a fairly small Dakine backpack as my diaperbag. It's hip and stylish, and the only time I get questions about it is from people I know (or just met) and they see me entering the bathroom with a backpack. "Dude, what's with the backpack all the time?" Other than that, it's not on their minds. As far as GA goes, I can understand why you'd want to pack less. But I say revel in it; pack as much as you'd like and let those damn southerners know what's up!

Yeah, there would be a lot more to this story once you told the parents what concoction the children drank; regardless of, and especially because it was under the direction of a pharmacist. Is said pharmacist registered and legally allowed to perform duties as such? I reckon many parents are gonna think you somehow drugged/poisoned their child,and it's not gonna be pretty. If the premise of this tale is true, I suggest you seek legal counsel.

I'm now trying to find the old original Sippy Cups, which I believe were/are made by Tupperware. Looks like the design has changed quite a bit recently -- has anyone had experience with the new style? DDi, how do you mod your sippies so as to get a good enough flow? What kind of cup do you prefer?

^ You are right, indeed! Fashion Buyers for many department stores and outlets like Target, Walmart and others are pushing New-Retro lines for young men and women. Lucky for us, it's like a double entendre. I myself, I just purchased a super cute light-blue Power Rangers t shirt at JCP for 3.97. Seriously, those of you who think you can't afford department stores, go check out the Clearance Rack -- full of good finds for cheap! And even though a dry diaper is up there on the 'Feels Good' list, I'd hafta put Retail Therapy as a close second -

Mine doesn't, either, though I assume that the next time I hafta take one, I'll not only be prepared with one of my favorite products -- Test Pure Platinum-- that I'll be able to just wait until I hafta go, in order to give a proper sample. I don't see what the issue is here ?

Agreed with the Spironolactone -- dangerous stuff, unless it's prescribed. For some reason my mom's been on it for years for high blood pressure. Although, after reading the pharmacology, I'm not entirely certain she gave birth to me -- perhaps my mom was a man. :? In any event, the group is spot-on, here: DRINK MORE WATAHHHH! Set a goal and drink up -- I'm anywhere between 64 and 128oz of water per day, which can be anywhere from 4-6 diaper changes, depending on time and location. Again, just specific to my situation, but, it's helped quite a bit with me losing control. The more times you can 'practice' not holding it and just letting go, the better you'll get at being a wetter. Drink, to your health and wetness!

Does the H in hkc stand for Honey? You're just too sweet! What a lucky guy you've got -- I've almost got my Mommy reading this thread, as it appears you both are on a similar journey with similar boys. Or are you secretly her? I love the list you've made! In any case, your commitment to this is inspiring. Does your guy know that you're here and asking these kinds of questions? Is he not a member? On a site that no longer exists (K.I.D., if any of you remember) there was listed a child development chart for the first 36mos. The woman was comparing her level of regression to actual babies. Perhaps you could dig up something similar, which would give you an idea of the breadth and depth of the regression you're seeking. At certain ages, children achieve certain milestones -- pick an age/year and knock him down to it! Since it appears that you're genuinely interested in regressing him, even if for the 'reality' aspect of it, you should definitely consult some child development charts or papers, as well as get yourself on some parenting/mommy sites to get an idea of what mommies of real babies are talking about and experiencing. This should also give you an insight on what the kids are doing these days. Another great idea is to spend some time with a friend or relative who has a baby that's about the age you'd like to regress yours to, and really pay attention to their relationship and how that child behaves. Monkey see, Monkey do! Or. . . Monkey force other Monkey to do. . ? What's your vision for all of this? At what point does it 'stop', per se -- Just how Little are you trying to make him? Do you see yourself eventually being fully responsible for him, as if he were a real toddler/baby? (Except when at work, I assume?) I think that by setting your endpoint as a goal -- where you 'draw the line', you might be able to develop a clearer plan of action on how to successfully regress him to that specific point. I wish you the best of luck -- you sound like a fucking awesome gf.

"Sorry Roger, you tiger now!" (I had to ! -- T'was too funny!) Lazy Tigah - Yeah, no bueno es paranoia. We just moved, and I'm in the process of redecorating my new playroom. While I don't have a ton of AB fixtures and furniture, it's setup to be a pretty neat little boy's room. Stars on the ceiling, changing area, covered couch, and a space to play Wii. Oh, and I got the coolest light switch cover -- it's clouds and moons! Am I worried about who will come by and see? Yeah, a little. But nothing more. We've rented apartments for the last 3 years and have had this kind of space where the supers can see it, though I'm really not worried about it. It's embarrassing sometimes, but, odds are, no one's going to be so wise as to check it out and then go tell everyone they know about this one guy's room that looks like a baby's room. Do your thing, don't sweat it! And congrats on owning a home!

Mia has a six pack? Wow, you must be working her really hard! Pics please!

I've been in Tena Supers (24/7) for about two years now, and have only had tape problems when mommy diapers me. The tapes will detach from the diaper wing when she pulls too hard. Although, this is due in part to not shifting/moving me, so as to transfer my weight from that part of the diaper while taping it. Again, this only happens when pulling too hard so as to create a very tight diaper fit. From my experience, these diapers aren't meant to fit tightly, but operate better when worn/taped loose, and held in place by either big boy underwear, plastic pants, or diaper tee/onesie. This also helps with the sagging issue, as well. My only complaints about this diaper are its lack of standing leak guards, (or even better leg elastic!) and its color. If it were white, and had leak guards, I would be pleased. Nice price finds -- I bought locally in S Georgia and paid exactly $1 per brief, 1.07 with tax. I did have cheaper options, though my individual circumstances didn't allow for me to take advantage of them. Are the ATNs along the same thickness and capacity as the Tena Supers? I've been thinking about trying them/switching brands. Having just moved and started a new gig that pays me substantially more for my time, I'm at a point where I've got a few more options in acquiring diapers.

@AutieAB - Yes, many years ago I was told I had to have prescription to order diapers. I was younger, probably 16 or 17 at the time, and was calling a local med supply store to order some diapers. Finding out later that doctors don't write scripts for diapers, and they're not required anywhere to order them, I can only assume I was refused service because they figured I wasn't medically in need of them, just wanted them for recreational purposes. And I'm also considering giving the Abena XPs a try, since I've moved and now have a pretty secure door to have them dropped off at. (In addition to having a fab new job with great pay!) I know for a fact that I LOVE the Abri-let Maxi boosters. At 24x6, they're HUGE and do add quite a bit of absorbency -- enough for a couple hours longer between changes if out and partying/drinking, or just for the extra thickness/babyishness.

If you were to hire a staff as "Models who serve" (Thanks, Ocean's Thirteen!) then you can require them to dress in any attire deemed proper to your specifications, as well as discriminate based on sex and other factors, including those in the "protected" status category. The legality of what you're trying to accomplish relies solely upon your description of the job your potential principals are to perform. Sarah's idea of a private party with diapered models/servers isn't as farfetched as the original post. A one-time event for like-minded friends to attend would be ideal, since this isn't something that's sustainable for any significant length of time due in part to its novelty and lack of customer base. Hooters is a franchise, and can be bought; clearly its business model is not only sustainable, but profitable for those who choose to buy in. While they are allowed to be elitist in their hiring practices, I've yet to hear of one involved in a discrimination lawsuit as a result. (How many fat chicks get denied a Hooters job every year?) Another perfect example -- strip clubs. While I'm sure that each and every one of us has been subjected to discrimination in the hiring process for a job (whether we knew it or not), filing suit against a business entity is a long, and rather expensive endeavour. If you're already unemployed, it would seem irresponsible and wasteful to gamble on such a legal action. Bottom line, OP: If you want to start a restaurant, go for it. Subway franchises start at 35k, and are a fantastic investment. Currently, they're the Number One franchise -- above McDs! And at only 12.5% royalties, if you can pull at least 7500/wk in gross sales, you'll do just fine.

Just to be fair, man -- We all say cool hat, but that doesn't mean you should sport it outside the house. You'll get looks. . . and not the kinda looks you'd like. But yeah, neat hat.

Spot-on, Curi! Isn't it like every issue of Cosmo there's something on the cover about a sex secret every woman should know? Haven't they run out of secrets yet? And whatever it is (I've flipped thru and read!) it's usually not that big of a secret, or a big surprise -- pay attention to the penis. Be gentle. Love it. Caress it. Play hard with it if he asks. Shit -- just ask, he'll tell you what he wants! Cosmopolitan = Crock o' politan.

I say let the South secede and Mexico can have Texas back. Problem solved!

I would guess he's thinking of his loyalty to you, in refusing to take your fantasy to the next level. I can understand the draw to having two parent figures, just as if you were their child. However, I think it's harder for the doms to sell themselves on that mindset. How does he do with compartmentalizing when it comes to seeing you as an equal, and seeing you as his Little? Perhaps by further solidifying your Little status, he feels afraid that he will lose you as a partner? (Even if gaining your undying love for being put into that scenario) I know that right now, my mommy is having trouble seeing me as her Little; its hard trying to train yourself and your partner at the same time. . . it's a slow process for everyone involved. Maybe you could further explain to him your exact vision in that scenario?

props to your prop hat!

All good points, and I agree with many of you: Tolerance may be a nude beach, but you must draw a line in the sand! Whatever happened to tough love? If we truly loved our fellow man, we would do whatever necessary --no matter how unpleasant-- to ensure not only his survival and welfare, but his evolutionary position. As a species, it's all-or-nothing. I'm starting to notice a theme in many aspects of my life, and it all seems to point to a decision that must be made. Not just by me, but by my generation; the next group to steer this great nation in whatever direction we choose to take it. BY that, I mean what is being experienced here on the boards, I'm experiencing in my working life -- there's an influx of morons, in addition to the regular problems that have yet to be completely dealt with. For example -- I've spent the last two years living and working in South Georgia. Over the last 23 months, I have been witness to countless incidents that can only be described as primitive behaviors by non-whites. I am POSITIVE that there is something wrong with black America. Yup, pretty much all of them. Be offended if you must, I will not apologize for my stance on this when I know that many more of you agree with me, even if you are too pussy to admit it. @DiaperboyKR is absolutely spot-on: Too many of us are afraid of being called intolerant, racist, or other things that the rest of you shout out as you trot around on your Moral Highhorses. . Little do you know, it's not a horse at all: It's actually a Pompous Ass. What must happen so we will recognize that there is a problem? Not just on our board, but in this, the greatest country in the world? Only when we can somewhat accurately identify what, or with WHOM the issue lies, will we be able to take the first step in pursuing our happiness -- together. Whatever happened to 'teaching a man to fish' ? This nation seems to prefer to skirt our longstanding problems by chartering Affirmative Action fishing tours that make regular stops at Welfare Bait and Tackle. Perhaps if more of us were thrown into the waters, we might learn to swim. Oh wait, I forgot -- they can't do that in my metaphor, or IRL. But my point is -- when will people learn to help themselves instead of forever relying on the help of others? Is self-sufficiency no longer a virtue, or a point of pride? Brutal? You bet. But, truthfully, I think Mother Nature has been fellashing Darwin alot longer than we thought, and she's been swallowing more enthusiastically than we could have ever imagined. (Survival of the Fittest reference, for those of you who are lost. This crass, yet informative analogy is my own, however.) My intent is to point out that by continuing to deliver a man his fish, you are not helping him, you are actually hurting him. And yourself. It's time to stop being tolerant, and time to start taking some action! Grab your nets, boys, we're gonna be fishers of men! ps, @babytbone - Don't fuck with The Sarah, please. If you have a problem with bigboy words, don't get on the internet. And if you love your God that much, you probably shouldn't be here, either. :obligatorysmileyface:

AB furniture, like cribs, are custom-made (usually by hand) and are rather expensive props. I wonder how you might afford all of this, and where you might put it, since, in previous posts you referenced a pretty shitty roommate situation. Perhaps your money would be better spent on finding a place for just the two of you? Jobs also help. Got one of those?

Uhm, what?(Both of you)

really? check the books. do they have a 501 or 503C? if not, they're bankrolling themselves. education is a business, not an altruistic endeavor.
