I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I will forever be an ABDL that loves to wear diapers as a grown adult. It has been a long road to accept who I am and feel secure about my feelings and desires toward diapers. I am at a point in my life where I want to explore more about my ABDL side, yet know that our society is not that tolerant or accepting of our lifestyle - which is too bad. Therefore, I continue to keep my ABDL tendencies a secret to all but a few trusted friends in our community. I am ok with it and don't want my ABDL lifestyle to paint who I am in everyday life. I have another life away from diapers and like to wear diapers as a way to relax and feel secure and comfortable as I did in my childhood. I do struggle with wanting to meet more ABDLs and explore other sides of this lifestyle, but wanting to keep it private. I would hate for my two worlds to collide - they are separate. My ABDL feelings originate from my childhood experience and memories. You see, I wore diapers late into childhood as a late potty trainer and used to feel very embarrassed and ashamed about my past. I remember feeling embarrassed about being in diapers and as I got older recognizing that I was the only kid I knew my age still wearing and using diapers. I was finally potty trained by age six and only wore diapers to bed after that for bedwetting. My mom would tell people that she never thought she would get me out of diapers and I remember feeling so embarrassed when she brought it up. My feelings were conflicted, however, because after I was out of diapers, I yearned to go back in them. I remember soon after being out of diapers, seeing other toddlers still wearing diapers and wanting to be them. I missed the security, comfort and extra attention that diapers brought me. I would sneek a peek at a mother changing her toddler's diapers and memories and feelings would come rushing back to me. I kept me feelings to myself but always found myself drawn to diapers. I would also try to walk down the diaper aisle of the grocery store and finally as a teenager I bought my first box of pampers. I tried them on as best I could and the feelings came back again. I knew I was an ABDL, but didn't know that others felt the same way as me until years later. In college I tried my first adult diapers and was in heaven. I was hooked on diapers and never looked back. I kept my diaper wearing private and moderate. Soon after the explosion of the internet I discovered the ABDL community and couldn't believe that there were some many others out there like me - what a relief that I wasn't alone. So here I am now wanting to open up more to others in our community and make new friends. I have accepted who I am and very secure about how my ABDL side fits with the rest of my life. It feels so liberating to open up and express who I am and what got me here. I just had to share and welcome any thoughts or comments from our great Daily Diapers community.

I have bought lots of adult diapers through the years and have never had a bad experience with a cashier or during the purchase at a retail outlet. Today, I purchase most of my diapers online because I prefer premium adult baby diapers like Bambinos and Abena X Plus, but sometimes I still purchase Depends at the local stores. I usually buy diapers at drug stores where it is common place for shoppers to buy incontinence products. It has been my experience that if you act like it is no big deal, the cashier acts the same way. The only thing I ever worry about is running into someone I know in line, and I usually try to buy my diapers during the early morning when the store is less crowded or a location that is remote to where I live. Good luck with your purchase and have fun.

I recently started wearing plastic pants over my disposables during bedtime and like others found that the plastic pants help contain leaks from frequent, heavy wettings. I like to wear thick disposables with pads to bed to contain multiple nighttime wettings, but sometimes my diapers would leak if I was sleeping on my back and plastic pants prevented a wet bed. I also am starting to like the look of my plastic pants over disposables and the way they keep my diapers snug.

BabyLauren, How were your Molicares? Next time you should give bambinos a try. To me, they are the ultimate adult-baby diaper. Stay diapered Mike

I was running low on my bambinos and ordered more scheduled for delivery by mid-week. By Tuesday I started to get the excited feeling of anticipation knowing my box of diapers would soon arrive. No box after work on Tuesday Wednesday was a long day at work and I forgot about my package of bambino diapers until the end of the day. The commute home was filled with anticipation as I thought about that box waiting for me. I arrived at my place to find my box of bambinos at on schedule. I spent the rest of the night happily diapered

It is great to see more of us from SoCal joining this bulletin board and community. Welcome, Lauren, and I look forward to seeing you on the boards. Mike

Tshirt and diapers here.

Welcome to the board and community. I like your no nonsense outlook and confidence in what you are after in your life. It will serve you well.

I recently ordered the classico bambino diapers and a sample pack of the bianco diapers and have been completely satisfied with my experience with the latest shipment. My diapers fit just fine, although they were a little loose around the legs for the large size, so I am reordering them in medium. The tapes and absorbancy of my diapers were not a problem at all for multiple wettings. I have started to wear plastic pants over my diapers to guard against side leakage. I find that the bambino pads are a good addition to help prevent leaking with heavy nighttime wetting. My bambino experience has been very positive and I am a big fan of bambino diapers.

I just started using plastic pants over my disposables for heavy wettings at night and ordered two pair from adultclothdiapers. I ordered the highback milky white plastic pants in size medium and the heavyduty plastic pants in size large to see which pair fit and worked the best. After a week of trial and error, my assessment is that the smaller size mediums with the high back are the best fit - snug around the legs and waist to contain leaky wetness after multiple nighttime wettings. I plan to order the heavyduty in the smaller size. I usually have two or three really heavy wettings throughout the night if I drink alot of water before bed and the plastic pants are a most to keep my bed dry. Finally, I love the bulky feel and look of the plastic pants over my disposable diapers and go to bed in just my diapers and tshirt.

I can completely related. I was a late potty trainer and bedwetter and know all too well about the lack of options for kids like me back in the early 70s. My mom decided that keeping me in diapers fulltime was the best option to deal with accidents I tended to have up until I was 6 yrs old. I recall being very embarrassed and self conscious about being kept in diapers when all the other kids my age and even younger were wearing underpants and here I was still wearing and using diapers. I was that kid in the shopping cart with the box of pampers in plain view for all to see, it was a little shameful to say the least. As for bedwetting, I wore diapers to bed everynight until I was 8 yrs old and remember waking up wet everymorning. I often woke up before my parents and would go down and watch TV in my wet diapers until my mom got up to change me out of them. I usually had PJs over my diapers so I really didn't notice my diapers except when I would pee in them in the morning if I really had to go.

I have tried various disposable diapers including depends, walmart assurance, attends, abriform x plus and bambinos. In my opinion, bambinos are the best disposable baby diaper made for the ABDL community. Bambinos are thick, crinkly, absorbant and have both cute baby prints and all white like old style pampers (if any of you remember whering them like me). I just ordered another supply of classico bambinos as well as a sample pack of the biancos. Their customer service is awesome too.

Tony D sounded like a great guy, and although I did not know him, good for him to be so supportive of the ABDL community. I am sorry to hear about his passing. I would love to meet ABDLs in the LA and San Diego area, maybe we can revive the sizzles in memory of Tony. Just a thought, but seriously, it is sad to see one of our community members pass on.

Thanks for all the advice on what brand and type of plastic pants to try. I plan to order them soon and will let you all know what I think.

Thanks for the reference to the leakmaster plastic pants. They look exactly like what I remember and was looking for to relive those childhood days in diapers. Do you have any thoughts on whether to order the highback pullover vinyl vs. the deluxe vinyl pullover style?

I am interested in purchasing plastic pants to wear over my diapers like I remember wearing during my childhood in the early 70s. Back then I remember my plastic pants being milky white and big enough to fit over double diapers, which I wore often at night and sometimes during the day when in cloth diapers. I would really like to get advice on the best plastic pants to purchase to relive those days. I usually wear Bambino disposables and would like to wear plastic pants over them. Any thoughts?

Both daytime accidents and bedwetting were the reasons why my mom insisted on keeping me in diapers. I wore diapers during the day and night until I was 6 years old and continued wearing them at night for another couple of years until my bedwetting stopped. I remember wearing both cloth and plastic pants as well as disposable diapers for trips and when in daycare/nursery school. My mom used to double diaper me for bed and sometimes even during the day and I remember how thick double cloth diapers were with plastic pants. I would wake up soaked but my sheets would be dry and the plastic pants were very good at keeping both the wettness and smell contained within. I was a child of the early 70s and it seemed common for parents to still be using diapers on their kids that wet the bed. By the time I reached 6 yrs old, I felt like I was the only kid my age still wearing diapers and potty trained so late in childhood. I am sure it is the reason I am an AB/DL today.

I live in San Diego and would love to meet up, but will be away for spring break during that time - bummer. I hope we have a chance to meet in the future. Enjoy San Diego and OB! Mike

I am in San Diego and often travel to LA. I have been an AB/DL as long as I remember and am interested in meeting others like me.

I went to a daycare/preschool from ages 4 and 5 where they had similar rules about keeping kids in diapers for having accidents. I was one of the kids that had to wear diapers during my time there, which was only 1 day a week from what I remember. The teachers were really nice about it and although I would have my diapers checked and changed like the other toddlers and babies, I wasn't required to stay in that group throughout my time there. I can remember that my diapers were kept in my own personal cubbie with an extra change of clothes. There were 3 of us that I remember that were older than toddler age and in diapers, but I was the oldest among us. The daycare had a separate room where the teachers would change our diapers.

I wore diapers for medical reasons, ie. difficulties with irritable bowel syndrome, until I was 6 yrs old and can remember being teased a few times by other kids because I was still in diapers. I also remember getting lots of looks from other adults that noticed my diapers in public places, moms are particularly good at spotting diapers. I remember feeling very hurt about being teased and talked about because I was still in diapers while other kids my age were well past potty training. The teasing made me feel very different and I didn't like it. I tried to hide my diapers the best I could and was very self conscious about being in them, particularly in situations that drew attention to me like when my mom checked or changed my diapers. I guess I learned to cope with it the best I could at the time.

I was a late potty trainer and wore diapers until the age of 6. I can remember having very mixed emotions about being kept in diapers during my pre-potty training days, but after being out of them for a while I started to miss the attention of diaper changes and checks and I developed strong feelings to wear diapers again. It is so ironic how I wanted out of diapers while I was in them because it was embarrassing to still be wearing diapers as a 5 and 6 yr old, but once out of them, I wanted them back. I didn't act on my AB/DL feelings until I was a teenager and bought my first package of pampers and tried them on. I started to wear more frequently in college, found the ABDL community on line, and never looked back.

It is so refreshing to see so many well-adjusted, successful, good-hearted people among us in the AB/DL community, many living in California. Until finding this community on the web and knowing that others existed just like myself, I always thought my AB/DL side as something I alone had inside of me. It is great that there are so many of us out there. Daily life is hard enough, and I am finding that having having others to talk to and share experiences in the AB/DL community is really opening up this side of me and helping feel better about who I am. I hope to return the favor and make new friends. Happy Valentines Day!

As I reflect more on this topic, I am really not looking for general acceptance by the public as much as an opportunity to express myself to those that do understand and share my lifestyle. Being an AB/DL can be a lonely existence and it would be nice to have friends that understand the feelings and needs of living this lifestyle. I remember feeling very lonely and different in childhood having to wear diapers when my peers were all potty trained. It was during that time when my AB/DL feelings grew strong and I got attached to being in diapers. I have finally accepted that being an AB/DL is part of me and something not to be ashamed of or guilty about. At the same time, I keep my AB/DL side very private from my professional life because it is not any ones' business but mine and I don't feel that it is worth the time to explain or defend my feelings and needs to those that will probably not understand and are quick to judge. It would be so great to get to know others in the Southern California area that feel the same way.

As a child I wore both cloth and plastic pants and disposable diapers, old style plastic backed Pampers. I wore diapers relatively late into childhood and remember being in both kinds and preferring disposables because they weren't as thick and obvious as cloth and plastic pants. Today, I prefer disposable diapers, Bambinos, because I like the plastic backing and they make me feel very babyish. Just my preference.
