Like others have pointed out, it depends on how someone is found out about their use of diapers. I would reckon to believe that any business with a Human Resources Department would view the use of diapers as Confidentiality. If it's for medical use, and you're not having hygiene issues, no. You shouldn't. I remember a teacher in highschool, never had his class, but always heard the students talk about him wearing diapers. The only way people knew was the sound his diapers made. Sure, the kids might have had a fun time when they first heard about it, but it quickly passed, because he didn't make an issue out of it. As far as I know, he's still teaching up there. This subject seems to come up alot often, but it just seems like common sense to me. Work isn't the time and place to live your fantasy. It's one thing if you NEED your diapers for medical purposes, but if you're wearing for the fetish alone, that tells me that you have some thrill of being found out, in which case, you get what you're asking for. Seems there's alot of people here who like to find subtle ways of being found out... you want to play those games in public, have fun, but don't let it effect your livelihood. My job pays for everything I have. Without it, I lose my house, my cars, etc... Not going to risk losing all this for a trill of possibly enduring humiliation. Fantasies and fetishes are private for a reason. /mytwocents

I'm not sure what to ask for when it comes to the public's acceptance of the ABDL thing. Sure I sometimes wonder how nice it would be to just wear however I wish without having to risk the possibility of being seen in a negative way, but in all reality, do I really need people to know? My opinion of ABDLs coming out trying to make themselves known, it's alot like how I feel about the LGBT Community. I think what really gave the LGBT Community a bad rep was how they pushed their movement so much, laws are being changed to force the public to accept their lifestyle. In the wrong eyes, it could be considered a hate crime if I say that I don't want to hear about it. Do I have a problem with LGBT? Not at all. Everyone should enjoy what makes them happy, but just like we should do, they need to treat their situation just like "norms" live their lives. Acting like we should have special treatment for being different? Are you kidding me? Why do we need special treatment? I don't want our community to blow up and become the next hot-topic of debates. Especially considering that I am not an Adult Baby. I am simply a Diaper Lover who would rather just enjoy the comfort in the privacy of my own home... I don't even like pushing the subject on my own live-in girlfriend. I treat my diapers just as I would boxers. Yeah, I'll wear one. She will know I am from the sound, but I'm not going to flash it and parade around the house forcing her to deal with it everyday, because that gets annoying. I don't want to force the issue to be accepted, because I want to feel normal. I am not a special snow-flake, so I don't want to come out as one. Also, this is a bit different from the LGBT Community. A person can say that they are gay and people will know that they're just gay. It wont be confused with something else that they're not. However, if I tell people that I am just a Diaper Lover, that I wear for pleasure and comfort, but still use the toilet and act like an adult, I will still be seen as a grown man who crawls around on all fours, who shits and pisses himself, and talks like a baby... No offense to the ABs out there, but I don't want to be related with that. Also, there's always the comments from the ill-informed masses who will always refuse to believe an adult in diapers will have nothing to do with pedophilia... I've had an ex who automatically thought that I was a pedophile from the moment I told her I was a DL... that hurt worse than being cheated on, because I have nothing but hateful wishes towards pedophiles, so to be questioned as one? I'd rather die.

Pretty much the only time I wear is when I'm ready for bed.

I agree with Snugglebear. Obviously, it would be nice if she got into it like I did, but the fact that she's letting me be me, who am I to want even more? She asked me the day I came out to her if this was something I wanted her to be a part of, because it's just not something she wants to participate in. I told her that this was my thing, and that I'd never try to get her to do anything she's not comfortable with. Her last question was how I would feel if this was something she may never want to try herself. I just simply told her that I wouldn't expect her to and that she was number one in my life. to let diapers get in between the two of us would be selfish. Her perspective of me has never changed, and we're still very sexually active. It's just now, I crinkle when I walk from time to time.

I was a nervous train-wreck each time I told someone. I've only had 3 serious relationships, and eventually told each one of them. From what I have gathered, it's apparent that if they truly love you, diapers wont be a deal breaker, depending on how you approach them. The first relationship, she was completely turned off by the idea of her man wearing, and changed her whole perspective of me. She was a bit selfish and had a special standard when it comes to guys she is with. She wanted a "Man." Dirty, rugged, she loved the smell of hard work and chemicals more than cologne. I fit alot of that standard, being an automotive turn aviation mechanic, have a project muscle car, enjoy camping, etc... but the moment she knew I loved walking around with padding and plastic between my legs, I was a completely different person to her. She eventually started screwing around with another guy who could meet her standards more behind my back... so yeah... The 2nd relationship, I told early on after kind of a "truth or dare" sort of thing. She was very supportive, and even encouraged me to wear more often, because she knew it made me happy. That was nice and all, but we had way to many differences between each other. Our interests collided with one another. She was more of a "country girl" who liked the bar scene, and ironically, was a bit childish for me. The 3rd relationship is still going strong. I told her about 3 and half years after we started dating, and I think I was more nervous telling her than ever. She seemed to be unfazed by the idea of her man wearing diapers... Now she's moved in with me, and we've been talking about marriage recently. I guess the best advice is to go into telling your GF with the idea and understanding that this isn't "normal" to them. My current GF knows that I'm not that confident with my DL side, but she has done well in making me feel normal about it, if that makes sense. Literally, just as long as I treat diapers no different than my boxers, that they're just underwear, and not acting out of place and parading around like I'm trying to be different, she seems to be totally fine with it... Then again, I still act my age, and I don't actually "use" my diapers, that makes her feel better about it.

That's a hard question to answer, because I've tried stopping in the past like 4 different times, and I just keep coming back. The diapers are new to my (now recent) moved in girlfriend of nearly 4 years, and so far she seems fine with it just as long as I'm not parading around the house in just a diaper, or asking her to wear, but there may come a time where she'll want me to stop, which I would in a heartbeat for her. She's taking a big step in trying to support this side of my life, and seems perfectly fine with me wearing every night for now. If she isn't actually fine with this side of me, I trust that she would tell me. She knows that I'd not be resentful of her if she asked me to stop, because I care about her happiness just as much. So, long story short... I will more than likely not stop until she says...

Well, I'm noone special. I'm just your average run-of-the-mill guy. I work on an old project prostreet muscle car, and have a career as an aviaton crew chief. Other than that, just a guy who tries to take care of the household, and wears diapers at night... lol

Ditto

Yeah, she's definitely one of a kind. Going to stop at nothing to keep her happy. Hoping to stay here awhile.

I think there is something relatable between sleeping diapered and behavior, aswell. I've always been able to sleep more soundly at night when I wear, and I noticed within the past month, nights I don't wear, I'm less tolerate of things, get annoyed with work more easily. I've been told in the past by an ex that she actually saw a major change in my attitude when I was wearing. I am not into acting like a child, Don't have a AB bone in my body, but she pointed out that I do act younger... Meaning I don't take things nearly as serious while I'm wearing. My current girlfriend, she knows all about my DL side, and is very supportive of the fact that I wear on most nights, but hasn't communicated to me about whether or not my tude changes, but I would imagine that she notices. I've noticed that on days I wake up without a diaper, I feel more tired, and not motivated to face the day. Days when I do wake up diapered, I tend to get up out of bed faster, most times without even hitting the snooze, and feel more willing to get the day started. I've caught myself humming as I'm getting ready for work and everything. I try to enjoy every moment I'm diapered, so waking up sooner is probably just a mental thing that I know I only have so much time before I need to remove the diaper and hit the road, and usually, I'll wear the diaper clear to the last minute... I have this enjoyment of seeing myself in the mirror all spiffed up in my work uniform from the waist up, and see that diaper... lol It's funny too, without them knowing it, my co-workers also see a difference in my behavior, but obviously can't put a finger on it.

yeah, it was a good life lesson to never date within the workplace again...

Medium ConfiDry 24/7 About the only diaper I'll wear.

It took me 3 years to finally tell my girlfriend. We had just returned to her home after watching a movie, and I was just laying in bed with her. I was trying to think of ways of telling her, because the desire was so strong at that time. Well, apparently she could tell something was eating at me, and asked what was wrong. After some tense hesitation, and not wanting her to think it was her, I finally worked up the nerve to just say it. I figured right then and there she would tell me to leave, but she was curious if there was more to it than just simply having a diaper fetish. So I told her that I just enjoyed wearing them, that yes they turn me on, but it was more like a comfortable pair of underwear for me, that I don't like "using" them. Her response was surprising... "So what's the big deal?" She then asked me, if it was a turn on, and all I like to do is wear them, does that mean that I'd want her to start wearing, because she doesn't want that. I explained to her that I'd never ask her to do anything she's uncomfortable with. She wasn't to keen on the idea of me looking at photos of women wearing diapers online, I think mostly because she was afraid that I'd want her to wear them, but I assured her that this is more my thing, and that I wouldn't look that stuff up anymore. Well, she proved to me that she was fine with it, because we ended up having sex afterwards. A few weeks later, I asked her to move in with me, and she agreed. For the last month, I have been wearing ConfiDry 24/7s to bed nearly every night, but haven't talked about it until today. This morning after waking up, we're laying together, just having a lazy Sunday. I decide to treat her by umm... "having breakfast" which turned into her taking my shirt off, and gives my diaper a slight tug, and well... we had fun. Later on after we got back from the store, I just asked her if the diaper bothered her any this morning. Her exact words were, "Not at all. Just as long as your not wearing them in public, and not walking around the house wearing just that and a shirt like 'Tommy Pickles' I'm perfectly fine with it. You know I love you, right?" My heart melted. I sat down next to her and kissed her forehead, and thanked her for being so accepting... So yeah... just as long as I'm not showing it off, or trying to make her wear one, she's totally cool with her man wearing diapers... oddly enough, the crinkling doesn't even bother her... lol I literally feel like this is all a dream to be honest...
