It took me 'til High School to be able to tolerate Cow's Milk. I grew up on Meyenberg Goat Milk. Good stuff, though I've recently had it again from the can and was disappointed. I love Silk Soy Milk, especially the Vanilla, but the Chocolate is pretty bomb, too. I'll drink any of them, or pour any of them on cereal or add to coffee and drinks. Breast Milk. . ? hmm. . . Only from Mommy, not just anyone. (And I've had offers.. )

Hm. I'd just like to throw it out there that I'm resisting the temptation to thread-jack and turn this into a conversation about your bucket list. There are some items on there that I am nearly 112% positive you will never get to complete.

Yeah, just be nice about it. . ? Some of us aren't into the punishment, per se, so I can sympathize with you there - I prefer tenderness and playful fun, as well. In order to fully control your sub, you need to look at them differently than you otherwise do. In this case, you need to compartmentalize enough to really see him as a toddler/baby, rather than an adult with free will, and adult feelings. Supposing he actually were 2, or 3 -- how would you treat him? What would you say? What tone of voice would you use? What would you do? You must be attuned to his needs AS IF he were whatever age and ability you have in mind. . . The biggest hurdle of ageplay, in my mind, is helping a partner overcome the mental roadblocks that we have in place, as adults. Once you're able to see someone for the small child they really are, it's easier to see them in that light again, though you're still able to give them back the Adult Status they originally held. It's kind of like playing Make-Believe, only For Reals. On that note -- perhaps play it like House, if you did that kinda thing as a kid? What would The Mommy do? What would The Baby do? Each has a somewhat stereotypical role; however, as individuals, you're both bringing something to the situation that makes it more interesting - If you really want to make it seem real, you must start seeing him as a child --not your equal. You're the adult, he's the baby. Overcome those mental roadblocks, and you'll be on your way to real progress! (and probably really good sex!)

In 5th grade science we had to make a song about Carbon Dioxide. . It went to the tune of 'Rubber Ducky', at mine (and my best friend's) insistence - "Carbon Dioxide, you're the one! C- One Oh-Two, So much fun! Car-bon Di-oxide I'm awfully fond of you. . "

If your God is so great, and can do anything, then why hasn't he indeed set you free from this 'affliction'? Do you not pray for it? Then I submit -- perhaps this is what He has chosen for you? And if you are in fact a Christian, and listening to His word, why wouldn't you follow what he intends? In your experience, has God ever spoken directly to you? Nay. He is not direct, but implicit. For a group of people so intent on listening to, and following His word (and his bullshit Book ) you sure seem to heed, and follow your fellow Man; more concerned with their perspective than His. In your eyes, which is tantamount? In His? If we are all God's Children, why would you deny your true identity, as a Child (not grownup) of God? Why would you not take pride in being closer to Child-like than others? Do as you feel is necessary for your own life, but, I can promise you that He, having made you (and everyone else!) different, would see you as having wasted your life's (His) Gifts by choosing to sacrifice your individuality to assimilate to the flock. Roll one up and marinate on that for a lil' minute -

Maggie is right -- it gets easier over time, though, there's still a fair bit of anxiety. You just have to be discreet and circumspect. I would advise against the stripclub-in-a-diaper trip, simply because I respect our working girls and their venue - strip clubs are like the church of the vanilla sex world -- diapers just don't have a place there, and thus, are just inappropriate. If you manage to snag a few tokens to take one of the ladies home, then it's a different story and scenario -- Again, not something I suggest, either. Not just for their safety, but for your own.

I'm already 24/7, and have been for a lil' minute now, but I'd gladly switch to B's. My only caveat, personally, is having them delivered. I'm like Seacrest, I've got quite a few jobs, and one of them is where I live. So while the delivery is a great selling-point for many of you, I go to a store and get my diapers from real people (in this small border-town in the Souf), so as to avoid awkward questions from the girls in my office. I live in the 'hood, so UPS and FedEx won't leave those kinds of items on my doorstep, they goto my office. I'm not interested in paying for big POBox at this time, as well as being around at the right time to pick them up. Although, if wearing Bambinos were to turn into some kind of advertising/sponsorship career (If I were a celeb, for instance) I would mosdef reconsider my options. I'd happily go out and setup a booth or some kind of shop (Franchise, TBHG?) to garner enough sales to make their investment worthwhile. . Perhaps like a distributorship of some kind, like traveling to different Adult stores that were interested in selling fetish and lifestyle items, in addition to sex toys and the like -

I want!! So awesome, and even in just plain white would be AO-kizzay!

DDi, what do you mean by 'not being counted'? WWalla, you're fine. They put up with me ( or at least don't say much when I spout off - ) so I think you're alright! I think a discussion of the various underlying causes would be a great topic. --Not just for those of us who are curious, but being able to talk about these kinds of things makes this all just a little bit earlier. Besides, I totally dig the medical topics 'cuz we get to use the medi-lingo-jargon, which is pretty fun.

Went on a mini-spree, myself, today. Got three new wipes tubs that I'd been eyeing. All were the Huggies decorated tubs -- Cars, a green Winnie-Pooh, (came with Cucumber-Green Tea wipes that smell really awesome) and a white one with deco-dots (came with Sensitive). More excited about the Cars one, though!

Doesn't do anything for me. *shrug* Besides, it's taped on pretty sloppy. I reckon that Duck's on point -- the constant pressure --or worse, jumping! -- on the bladder would probably warrant the use of absorbents during the late stages of the third trimester. I wouldn't feel guilty for looking, fellas, but I can see where some of you might. Unless you're the one who took and/or placed that photo on the internet, or the person who stole it from some new mom's photo album and put it up on your favorite ABDL site, you should still be able to sleep at night.

@WallaWalla: Wow, girls do that, too? I kinda thought it was a penis-exclusive phenomenon, like that one long-ass curly hair that suddenly appears in the middle of the shaft. (I'm kidding, really. My Manscaping is more than a hobby, it's a point of pride. So, yeah, that doesn't happen to me.) I've already been doing 24/7 for years, I just haven't managed to give up my control. I'm fully aware that there's no going back, and that this is a permanent thing. Rashes, though I don't get them, aren't a bother to me. I assume, even if I were to lose enough control to warrant a medical need for diapers, I would still feel the process happening that I would be able to accurately gauge my level of wetness in a timely manner. As for the changing in public. . . I don't mind it now if I'm in general public places, and especially if I'm out of town. I do experience some level of changing anxiety while at work, or around friends and family. However, just like with public places, I've found that people don't pay much attention to what others are doing, even if its in their own bathroom. I'm hyper-observant, to a fair degree, and thus, it tends to manifest itself in the form of paranoia that comes with the change-time anxiety. Again, I know the Changing Anxiety comes with the territory. Seasons are seasons -- I don't seem to get so hot that I don't wanna wear a diaper. In fact, it's been 70s and 80s here, and it doesn't bother me to be diapered. I LOVE Winter! @BK, I see your point. I'm a typical yin-and-yang; while I am mostly Little, my other half is dominant, assertive and cocky. I can see where bowel incontinence could be a Career Killer. @WNM247: *sigh* Really? Did you read any of the above replies? If so, what did you comprehend? While both Angela and Adrian offered a response, each was true to their experiences and perspectives on the situation, particularly since both are rather social, and (seemingly) aren't afraid to live their lives, in diapers. Others offered up caveats and worst-case-scenarios; considerate of the permanence factor. Nearly all of the replies contained factual content, a shared experience, and a warning. But, there's something I didn't see in any of the responses: "omg", "so much fun", ". . heaven", "lmfaoroflpmp". Well, wait, I did see the 'pmp' part. . . but it wasn't positive! This was intended to be a productive conversation, and right now, you're fucking with my intent. Hush.

So what's it feel like? I assume some of you know nothing of when you void, but I'm sure others have some sort of sensation down there when your body is doing its thing. . Do you feel like you hafta go, and then it just happens? Or do you only notice when you're already going, or wet? I'm still on the path of achieving bladder incontinence, but, I think it would help me along if I knew what I was supposed to feel (or not feel) or be conscious of what I want to happen and what my body is doing. .

I have Pampers Baby Fresh wipes, and will exclusively use those because of their scent. Other scents I have found that are sweet enough to be bABy are Pink Sugar by Aqualina (found at Sephora and other fragrance retailers) and the J&J baby cologne, although Mommy doesn't care for lavender, so she's not as big on that one - Routinely, I use Pink Sugar to accent my regular scents, like the Zirh fragrance for men. Adds a sweet touch to the fruity tones, and I get compliments everywhere I go when I'm wearing it. . . I also use the J&J Cucumber Melon baby lotion, which is a fresh scent that's suitable for little boys as well as little girls. I have yet to try the Pink kind, but that's next on my list, just to see if I like it. Whatever happened to Baby Magic? They used to have really good baby scents, but kinda fizzled out after the turn of the century -

CLEAR! *thud* Thread revived! *beep beep* *beep beep* Having flown again this past March (with Mommy this time) I flew diapered, and with diapers, both ways. Again, I'll cop to transporting Herbal Essence across state lines, as well as shipping it to the same location. Didn't have a problem in either direction, as a matter of fact. Pack your stuff, ABDLs! Worry not about TSA screenings! Just make sure that everything in your bag is accounted for, and approved for carry-on and checked luggage. I do not suggest packing wet or dirty diapers in your checked or carry-on luggage, just as a common courtesy for all involved. Other than that, go for it, you've got nothing to worry about !

I'm with Ashes on this one -- kinda weird, yeah, but, considering that you espouse that your lifestyle is known by your family members, it doesn't smart of something contrived, or even sexual. Compartmentalization is a strong mental tactic that benefits humans in many ways -- this is a good example. I mean, you wanted the spanking, and mom wanted practice -- if that's all there is to it, then that's all there is.

Indeed, good article, and great links -- although it's not entirely accurate to the broad spectrum of our world, it was for her little corner of it. That she gleaned something extremely positive from the experience and spoke well of it is the kind of good press that we all need. As far as the men in dresses and whatnot -- The idea is such a turnoff because of their unkempt physical state. Perhaps if they had been shaved, and properly attired --with tasteful makeup-- they could appear close enough to fool most viewers. But, I'd like to point out that while girl-on-girl action has now made it to Prime Time TV, it was once a taboo topic reserved only for Mature Audiences. Do you think the same would apply for guy-on-guy action? Nuh-uh. The female form is considered artful and somehow more tasteful than man's. Still, movies like Brokeback Mountain garnered more attention because the two men are not only young, but considered attractive by a substantial margin of the population. And when they kissed (or made love on the rocks), it might have been awkward to witness, but they were tolerable because of their age and aesthetics. Try working out the same equation with Beau Bridges and Dom Delouis. Still tolerable to some, but not as many; and DEFINITELY not Prime Time material. If she had photographed younger, less-hairy, and more attractive boys, do you think this would have been received differently?

Hmmm. . Gee, I wonder why. . ?

Hm. Gee, I wonder why. . ?

Guys, lemme just plug a product here, real quick - my gf has had the Mirena implanted sinced september, and we're pretty much guaranteed no pregancies until 2014. We do it pretty often, though not as often as either of us would like, its nice to not hafta prepare, or have her worry about a damn pill schedule. Plus, no visits to the pharmacy (and the cost!) of getting traditional birth control. I really suggest you get involved in your ladies' womanstuff -- I mean, its only fair to reciprocate interest since you want her to be all about yours, right? Well, here's the chance -- talk about ponying up the ducats to preserve your stable future. Once you find out how much it costs, go find a friend who has kids and ask them how far that amount would get them. If its less than 5 years, congrats: you're on the winning end of this bet, buddy - If you're really curious - mirena dot com. Diapers' effect on sperm count, isn't something that's been researched by the industry, and maybe not even considered - I would hazard a guess that folks who are incontinent are probably deemed unfit for sexual activity, even if physically capable of doing so. Ergo, an irrelevant sidebar in the world of adult diaper development, design, production and marketing. Having been 247 for quite sometime now, I can attest to the difference in consistency of semen. Frequenty, she'll report that my cum is yellowish or discolored, and thin. I know what this means, and its a good thing. Personally, I couldn't be happier -- while I would love to create a child in my image, I don't think I'll ever want the responsibility. So, sacrifice the means - I'm okay with that. @OP - most of these guys here don't want children -- for their own reasons. But in our world, childrearing is expensive -- almost right from conception! With so much burden, and so many obstacles and dangers -- I would think that any logical, and prudent individual would think it irresponsibile to be "trying to get pregnant" in this current climate. Maybe Mother Nature is just giving you a warning?

It has been widely regarded that close-fitting underwear, like briefs or diapers, create the greatest enemy of sperm: heat. Continuous wearing of diapers or briefs can and will cause fertility problems. If you're having a very difficult time conceiving, I suggest investing in your local fertility clinic. If you can't find a good one, have the wifey ask for a reccco at her OB/GYN. There, both of you can be examined and given options on how to optomise your chances of conception. The reason I said, "very difficult time conceiving", is a question as to your individual situation -- have you had a semen analysis? If it was found that you possess traits that are inhibitive to conception, like a [hankhill]narrow urethra[/hankhill], or you have a low sperm count, you may need to stop wearing altogether, (and switch to boxers) in order to achieve your fully fertile state. If all else fails. . . Have you considered self-adoption? It could take your relationship to the next level - : ) She could have a baby all she wanted, and would still be free on Friday nights! And then there's the obvious benefits for you - I love it when twenty and thirtysomethings tell people, "we're trying to get pregnant!" Its hilarious. All I ever think is that's some kind of warning, or even an excuse as to why they've suddenly disappeared. And why they might reappear ten minutez later with mussy hair and guilty expressions. Or big grins, depending on the rating of the encounter. So, I've taken too much of your time now - go get it on!

I get the point of it, and I wouldn't mind having it. I mean, I usually already send a text to let mommy know that I'm wet, so nice that I wouldn't even hafta pick up my phone! (Not that the cliq ever leaves my hands, anway) is it just one type pf message, or can it be customised?

You can take the Catholic outta the guilt, but you can't take the guilt out of a Catholic! Its not a religion, its a curse!

No one wants to talk about the caking issue, eh? I know I'm not the only one who's experienced. it - I guess I'll answer your questions in order, then add my Extra Value Zeal. . . Whether I'm standing or sitting, I tend to either sprinkle the powder, or just point and shoot. Both methods work fairly well, and I like the fact that I don't have to get powder all over my hands. (I'd hate to see some of you folks' fingernails!) When laying down, I'll sprinkle. On the diaper area, under the bottom, and just a little more down the length of the diaper itself. When standing, or other positions, I sprinkle a small amount in the front, and then pull out the back of my diaper, and will typically "point and shoot" (just give it a lil' squeeze!) This is done after fastening the diaper. A couple of pats on the bottom will disperse it enough to spread out as you move. I have found, though, that there can be too much of a good thing - baby powder clumps when wet. Just one squeeze too many, or even too hard, can make the next change a bit less expedient, and kinda icky. Its like a cakey snowstorm in your diaper, and yes, some of the snow is yellow. The clumps gather in places like leg pits; on top of, or around shafts; in buttcracks, near the top; and ballwrinkles. In extreme cases, it can bind to your skin, clog your pores and cause you to breakout or develop other irritations. Just go easy, 'K?

I use tena supers and go thru about 4 or 5 diapers in a 24hr period. Sometimes its more. Since I'm still untraning, I drink, on average, 64-128oz per day. . .
