Happy Birthday, Jenniebear! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Sorry, I'm an atheist too, so my prayers aren't likely to do him much good. And I'd burn some candles but I'm not allowed to play with matches and candles anymore after almost setting a family member on fire.

I think that's a rite of passage for most of us. Old towels and plastic bags are probably what most of us started with as young abdl's ... except maybe those who had younger siblings to pilfer real diapers from.

Silly Ricky! Since your atheism cancels out any trustworthiness your gayness allowed you, you'll just have to stay here in Canada and not go hopping over the border looking for people to trust you!

I wore only cloth as a baby but now my preference is for disposables. It's not that I dislike cloth - I mean, come on, in a pinch ANY diaper will do - but there is something about disposables I adore. Perhaps it's that as a very small child with an interest in diapers, all I was seeing and associating with babies was Pampers because of the TV ads that were suddenly flooding the market now that these new-fangled diapers were starting to become popular.

As painful as that must have been for you, you're better off without "friends" like that. They must have issues of their own if they can't handle something that essentially has nothing to do with them personally and doesn't impact them in anyway. Most decent, caring friends would not ditch you because of a medical condition you don't have any control of. It always amazes me when I hear how thoughtless and cruel some people can be.

Welcome babycarolyn! I'm not sure where you're located but some of the mail-order disposables come in larger sizes than the Depend brand. If you're in the States you might try ordering a sample pack of the X-LG size from Bambinos (if you go to their website you can check out the waist and hip size of the XL) or check a few of the online medical supply stores for other brands (they usually will give waist and hip sizes). I believe Tranquility also has an XL that has stretchy sides. Also, as dragonmaster said, many of the online cloth diaper companies make diapers and plastic pants in larger sizes. As for hypnosis tapes ... they work for some people and not for others. You really have to truly want what the hypnosis tape is suggesting or it won't work for you. If you have any doubts, your mind will won't cooperate - no hypnosis tape can make you do what you don't want to do. Plus, you need to be consistent with using them. Once or twice won't do the trick. You need to have the desire and put in the time. Hope you enjoy your time on the boards.

Actually, it's only his first post THIS time 'round. He gets tossed from the boards repeatedly because he usually posts about 8 versions of this post and sometimes spams the female members as well. You'll also find his posts on any number of other abdl sites that have personals. He never gets the message.

Tcc has nailed it on the head. Relationships are a two-way street and a good loving relationship requires respect and understanding from both sides. You're holding up your end, but your boyfriend is not. If you really love him and think you can work this out then I would suggest you make an appointment with that sex therapist now and not some time in the future. Let your boyfriend know that this is a real concern for you and you both need to discuss this with someone right away. You're not being silly or selfish at all. Your trauma from public accidents is completely understandable and if being a dl is not your thing then it's not. That's your right and should be respected. Don't try to change who you are for someone else. You're a supporting and caring young woman and you're just fine the way you are!

For those of you haven't spotted it yet ... check out the interview in the LINKS section. 'Mr. Bambino' confirms that a Canadian distributor will be announced shortly.

Welcome NannyRose! I don't think paying babysitters is anathema to the community, necessarily. I think, as Enfant said, it's when they spam the boards and appear insincere that people get turned off the idea. I honestly think that the best way to get a business of that nature going is to become part of the community so that the members can get a feel for who you are and get comfortable with you. A certain amount of vulnerability is required on our part to get into the whole AB headspace with another person, so forming connections within the community first would go a long way to building a client base of little ones clambering for your services.

Haven't you told Mr. Johnson it's not polite to point??!!!

Oops! We should've warned you. Some of the boys get a little overexcited when new girls show up on the board. Please feel free to join in the conversations and ask questions if there's something you'd like to know. Most people here are happy to help.

I LOVE that noise!!! It's music to my ears! However ... I don't wear in public unless the noise can be masked sufficiently.

I have to agree with what diapermommie has said. And it is difficult to hear and torture to wait for, but the right one will accept you for who you are and not ask you to be something you're not. When we try to change ourselves to fit someone else's version of the ideal partner, we are denying ourselves and resentment will soon follow. If you have a good look around the boards you'll find that lots of guys here are happily married or dating women who accept that they wear diapers for whatever reason. If they can find those women (most of whom knew nothing about abdl to start with), so can you. Don't settle for someone who wants you to be someone else! Be yourself and be happy in yourself and she'll show up one of these days!

Welcome, Sukisan! Hopefully being around the boards will ease your worries somewhat. Unless you plan to run for political office it's unlikely exposure would result in anything but a period of embarrassment -- and no one ever died from embarrassment (to my knowledge), so you should be okay. If you live alone you might want to try ordering diapers online. It's definitely easier than doing it in person, but if that's not an option, I can assure you that after awhile even buying diapers in person will become easier.

On the main forum board there is a REPORT button under each post so that we can alert the mods to underage posters but on the personals board there doesn't appear to be any way to report them. I'm sure I'm not the only one alarmed at the thought of some kid advertising on an adults only personals board. So my question to the mods is how would you like reports of underage ad-writers handled? Or do you do sweeps of the personals and eliminate them regularly? As of this afternoon, there were two 17 yr. olds listed.

Here's the link to Gabby's . They ship to the US so it's probably cheaper doing that than going through a reseller or possibly even eBay.

Be honest with her. Lying only leads to more lies and a bigger mess (no pun intended ) down the road. You've been together for 14 years and I'm assuming the marriage isn't in trouble at all since you didn't mention that, so while she might be taken aback at first and may need time to process it, it's unlikely she's going to up and walk out on you because you were honest about your kink. The fact that she's been touching your diaper says she's not totally freaked out by it. Believe me, if she was freaked out, you'd know it. She would most certainly have asked you to put your pajama bottoms back on. My guess is that you know your wife pretty well by now and can predict how she'll react to most things. Listen to your gut instincts about this. Your intellect will handicap you in matters like this so don't let it dictate to you. Trust your intuition -- women aren't the only ones who have that.

Well, lucky for him his medical will no doubt cover visits to a qualified psychiatrist which he obviously needs! Then switch from disposables to cloth and plastic pants. They'll pay for themself in no time. Fraud is not a solution. It's repugnant. This is not a life or death situation here. We're talking about diapers for pleasure!!!

The addiction question is a tough one to answer. I personally don't think it is what would be classified as an addiction but whether or not it is or isn't an addiction of some kind I think it still comes down to the question of harm. If you're an alcoholic or a drug addict, your addiction will over time spiral out of control and harm not only you, but the people around you. I have a cousin who is an alcoholic. He's 56 and he will not make it to 57. He has damaged his body so badly he's almost blind, can't feel his feet and can barely control his waterworks. He has a masters in business but he destroyed all the benefits of those years of schooling. He's destroyed his family. His wife and kids will no doubt heave a sigh of relief when he goes. His mother and brothers are devastated. On the other hand ... I've known about my interest in diapers since I was about six. It doesn't threaten my health or life, it hasn't impacted on my family or career. If it's an addiction, it seems to be pretty benign and maybe ranks up there with coffee.

My suggestion is find a better paying job so you can afford these diapers that you don't medically need. Scamming the medical system to pay for diapers will negatively impact the people who are legitimately incontinent and rightly deserve to get a break on the price of diapers because they have a REAL medical need.

I think with any subject, even ones not relating to fetishes, you will always find differing opinions. In this day and age most mental health professionals would not consider it a problem unless - as Diapermommie said - it was causing you emotional distress or harming others. As with most things ... everything in moderation. I don't know about the mental health qualifications of the Christian counsellors that you spoke to but I'm guessing that their response is more than likely based on their religious beliefs. In the end, only you can decide what is in your own best interests. Perhaps some of the board's Christian members can jump in here and give their take on how their religious beliefs affect their diaper-wearing needs.

There are lots of us here that can relate, brianh. But when you do finally accept it, it relieves a whole lot of stress and shame. Try to step back and observe it with a little distance. It doesn't harm anyone; unless you're totally obsessed with it 24 hours a day, it's likely not harming you. A diaper is merely underwear with a plastic covering. In the scheme of life, it's not really a big deal. There are times when I think the whole thing is completely silly and I laugh about it. And it is kind of silly, but who cares? I enjoy it and no one else has to participate unless they want to. It's part of who you are, but it's not all of who you are.

She's gone missing again! Everyone check they haven't tossed her out with the torn Christmas wrap! She will play hide n' seek in those boxes despite the obvious danger of being put out for the recycling truck!
