[I'm Losing Interest...]

For awhile now, I've been increasingly losing interest in wearing AB style diapers.
I'm still a DL and will never stop being one. I'll probably wear diapers for the rest of my life.
Guess I'm just distancing myself from being an AB. Maybe it's because I'm getting older.
I'd rather wear diapers like they sell at NorthShore or other online incontinence suppliers.
I think it has to do with age. It's like the taboo is gone and I've accepted this as a part of my life.
Also, sometimes I need protection when I'm out for extended periods of time.
It has gotten harder to "hold the flow". So, I just discreetly wear protection inside my underwear.
Maybe it's just a phase I'm experiencing.  Any others going or have gone through this?
 

[Pull Up/On Or Belted Undergarment?]

Just a follow up...
I went out of town the other day wearing a belted diaper/undergarment.
The urgency hit me right before my exit. It was all I could do to hold it in.
The fear was, if I let a little go I was not going to be able to stop and leak.
I was able to make it into Walmart and use the restroom.
Then I went to the HBA section and bought some pull on style diapers.
Think I'll try this idea next time... Maybe wear the belted style under a pull on.
If I arrive at my destination (wet or dry), remove the belted diaper in the car.
Discreet when removed. But secure in knowing it's okay to go. I was just lucky this time.

[Copyright 1974 Vintage Pampers - Largest size - Sealed NIB]

Love Toddler Pampers from the 70's. They were probably the best Pampers ever made.
Not sure if I wore this size since they were introduced in 1972. I would've been 4 going on 5.
Must've worn the ones that required diaper pins before Pampers had the tape on fasteners.
Still would love to have at least one of these. Do you think you will be selling any individually?
If so, that would be awesome. The Pampers box alone without the diapers is a definite keeper.
Please consider doing this at a affordable price. You'd probably have many interested buyers.

[Pull Up/On Or Belted Undergarment?]

Just a follow up to this thread. Thank you for all the input.
Good ideas from everyone on what use when out and just can't hold it in.
I did get some Depends belted undergarments on clearance just to try them out.
They do alright for slow leaks. But a full uncontrolled release leaked all over the place.
Luckily I was home and sitting on a waterproof pad when this happened.
So, they are by no means a solution. Maybe just another option. We'll see...

How about our pocket diapers? 

That's a great idea! Never even considered them. Thanks!

[Pull Up/On Or Belted Undergarment?]

Hello All!
I was hoping others could relate with my issue and suggest a product that has been useful for them.
Whenever I'm out and about (especially on long road trips) the urge to urinate hits and cannot wait.
If I'm not mistaken it's called "urge incontinence" and usually wet myself before finding a restroom.
I've tried all types of products. A thick diaper is too bulky to be discreet even under clothing.
Where as, a product like Depends Pull Up style underwear is too thin and lacks absorbency.
I thought about trying belted undergarments since they can be put on and off without removing pants.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to wear and where to buy? (I.E. Online or Stores)
This goes beyond any diaper fetish and/or AB/DL lifestyle and has become a real medical condition.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You!

NorthShore posted a CYBER7 (good until December 2) code for free shipping on ADISC

I got an email on this offer and my purchase arrived this morning.
Right now, I'm fitting comfortably in a NorthShore brand Pull-Up.
I have to say it's the thickest Pull-Up I've ever worn.
Also, I purchased a package of NorthShore Supreme Briefs.
They are big and thick as well. They are rated up with Abena's
My whole purchase came to just over $40 for 31 diapers.
I like the AB/DL brands like ABU and Bambino very much.
But this time, I wanted to be more practical with my purchase.
They also sent plenty of samples of 4 other diapers and wipes.
So, I really received 35 diapers for about a dollar per diaper.

[Sad Day For Diaposable Diaper/Nappy Lovers]

Didn't see this on any other part of the forum, so I'll share the news here.

[Are there more AB/DL's now than in the past?]

Thanks mamabug!
You're about half my age, but wise beyond your years.
I've seen the same thing about more males than females into AB/DL lifestyle.
And the early days of the internet wasn't very kind to those females that shared our feelings.
I think it's got a lot better, but some guys saw it as an opportunity to "hook up". And tended to send away some by doing that.
When there were primarily chat rooms in the "dial up" days, I'd sometimes pose as a female to see what it was like.
Immediately I'd get ASL (age, sex, location) from about 10+ people in the room. Luckily most people are more respectful here.

[I need some advise please]

Before I read any other comments, I wanted to say quickly stay true to your wife and avoid doing anything to betray her trust.
With that "easier said than done" comment, I can relate to what you're dealing with as well.
In fact, my advice is to visit a counselor. Tell them everything you've said here and more. See what a professional thinks.
I have an obsessive compulsive personality and your story parallels mine to an extent. Find out what's really going on.
It's not a judgment whatsoever ether. So please don't feel offended if it sounds that way. Just a "it takes one to know one" observation.
I hope it works out for you. You may just be going through a phase and feeling young and restless. Good Luck!

[Are there more AB/DL's now than in the past?]

I've noticed in the last couple years the AB/DL community as a whole has grown by leaps and bounds.

Until recently, we had just a few options for AB/DL specific diapers. I remember first Bambino, ABU brands if we wanted something besides adult cloth or disposable diapers.

Now it seems there's so many new AB/DL brands available with really cute prints and colors. i cannot seem to keep up with them all.

I see the AB/DL community broken down like this...

• Old timers (like me) that have loved diapers since childhood.
  I remember when the internet only had Diaper Pail Friends and a few smaller groups & sites.
  Before that, I though I was the only "weirdo" in the world to have diaper desires. I'm still weird BTW, just not in a bad way.

[Using Baby Diapers As Doubler Inserts]

I've done a similar thing using Tranquility ATN's
It's kind of tedious, but here's what I do...
On the top, carefully open up where the plastic and fluff is at.
With your hand, spread apart and separate the plastic from the fluff.
An extra step I take is to use rubbing alcohol to remove all the print on the plastic.
Then you have a plain white plastic diaper that doesn't look "medical".
You can use baby diapers or Pull-Ups as a stuffer.
Use the same steps mentioned above for taking them apart to just the diaper core.
I like pink girl Pull-ups because the colors show through the plastic well.
And then you have a pink stuffer that brightens up a plain white diaper.
I really need to take pictures or a video of these projects.

[We have better diapers than real babies and toddlers]

You were wearing pajama pants in Target?
That may be acceptable at Wal-Mart.
But Target requires at least sweat pants.

I'm just teasing...
But you're right. The AB/DL style diapers are much better.
Baby diapers are kind of cheap overall.
Especially when they went to cloth backed diapers.
I was looking at all the "Littles" on Tumblr the other day.
So many of them wearing Pampers, Huggies, Pull-Ups & Goodnites.
Wonder if the diaper companies realize how many adults wear their products?

Interesting, thanks. I've not tried taking the cloth cover off a baby nappy before, I may give it a go as I've never had success using them as stuffers before.

[Using Baby Diapers As Doubler Inserts]

I mentioned this in another thread and have wanted to share this with the group.
As most here know, adult diapers are not cheap. Most AB/DL style diapers average $3 each.
If you don't already do this, I wanted to share what I do to make my diapers last longer.
Here's what you'll need to do it the best way. You may want to improvise to save more.

• Your favorite brand of adult diaper opened and lying flat.
  

[Why Do Adults Want To Baby Diapers?]

Although baby diapers aren't as absorbent for most. Some wear for other reasons, I think.
There's the cuteness if a person's size allows them to fit into them and wear them securely.
While AB/DL diapers gives both cute designs and better absorbency. They're much more expensive.

I use to fit into Pampers 7 with some adjustments to extend the Velcro tabs.
So I don't know if that counts towards fitting into baby diapers. But it worked for me at one time.
Now that I'm bigger, I can't wear Pampers (even with modifications) so well anymore.
They just have limits. If the tabs don't come undone first, I usually end up with a diaper wedgie.

But I learned a trick for using all those baby diapers as an adult diaper insert.
It's a cheap and fairly easy method for those willing to do a few extra steps.
So, I can go a lot longer between changes and don't need to use as many adult diapers.
I might make a picture or video tutorial of the method I use if anyone's interested.
For now I've made a written one about doing this. Here's the link...

[Accidents At School]

When I read these stories it reminds me of how harsh school was to some of us growing up.
I had 2 school accidents (pee) and some other close calls because of fear of asking or denied using the restroom.
My biggest problems were at night while sleeping. If I could of woke up to go, I would have.
At home, I think the embarrassment of wearing Pampers at bedtime would have been better than always wetting the bed.
For those with chronic day problems; looking back, would you had rather worn a diaper or risk having accidents at school?

[Advice on buying Adult Training Pants]

Does anyone have any input on a reliable seller of adult training pants?
There's a lot of sellers online and on Ebay. But trying to be careful of who I deal with.
I would pay a little more for a good product. Something like Gerber cloth pants that are sold for toddlers.
Not just plastic pants, but the reusable cloth style panties that were used before Pull-Ups.

[Do You Sit Down To Potty]

Something I do make a point to do is if I'm taking a road trip, I "pad up" with a good thirsty diaper and always keeping spares within reach in my vehicle.
There's a certain satisfaction having that protection if in case I get slowed down by traffic or a construction zone.
Everybody else is frustrated holding it in. I just sit there and let it flow.
And that warm feeling just makes it all the better in cold weather.
I can't understand why non AB/DL's don't diaper up or at least keep one of their kids baby diapers handy just in case.
I was stuffing one down my pants in stopped traffic one time and another driver saw what I was doing.
I didn't care. I wasn't going to be straining to hold it in until the next exit.

[Do You Sit Down To Potty]

I wanted to ask all you big boys who don't wear protection 24/7 like me what you do when your at home.
And maybe there's some adventurous girls who might like to share something as well. Some girls prefer to stand, so I've heard.
When I'm at home, I rarely stand to potty. And no worrying about missing my aim. I also often sit on the potty when wearing a diapers.
I don't know why. I think it feels a little like potty training. Some times I like to regress like a preschooler who still wets his pants.
If I'm not wearing protection at bedtime, (I know, WHY NOT?) It's also a lot more relaxing to sit on the potty when half asleep.
Also, I usually "potty it all out" when I sit down. Because it seems, thanks to age and an enlarging prostate having to go after going.
And getting back up to finish going a short time later is just frustrating. Might as well just wet the bed. Another excuse to wear diapers.
The exception for me is if I'm in a real hurry or I'm out in public. Who likes to sit on a public toilet unless it's absolutely necessary?
So I'll use a urinal if there's a restroom available, Personally I'm just not comfortable wearing a soaking wet diaper while out in public.
Of course, there's always that involuntary leakage when zipping up. It never fails to leave a wet spot if not wearing something absorbent.
I've bought baby diapers out of the restroom dispenser to use as a stuffer. Nobody seems to notice unless it's a thick bulky thing.
So, does anyone else who isn't a 24/7 diaper wearer do something simular this? I'm cuirious to know just how wierd I am. THANKS!

[Does Anyone Else Role Play Potty Training]

This is a thread that I posted a few years back. Forgot about it myself until now.
Found it interesting, that no one else does this. Or perhaps it's just not discussed...?
Maybe will try this again and see what happens now. I'll be back in diapers if the adult me has anything to say about it.
Or else find some Gerber "old skool" thick white training pants. And having nothing else under but training pants sound somewhat adventurous.

[Binging and Purging]

I use to binge and purge when I was younger.
Most of the reason was because of feelings of shame for liking diapers.

The internet wasn't around or it wasn't as developed as it is today.
So I didn't have other AB/DL's to relate to (heck, I didn't even know what to call a diaper fetish back then).

At my age now, I often go off of wearing due to many reasons.
But, I've learned to just store away my diapers. Because I always will eventually come back to them.
My advice, find yourself a place to store them from everyday view. Then take time away from wearing.

[What Kind And/or Brand Of Diaper Did You Wear As A Baby?]

I was born in the 80's and the only reason I remember what kind of diapers I was wearing is because after I got potty trained my older sister put me in a pampers diaper that was left over as a joke and made my mom change it as she was talking on the phone (and no I didn't use it).
