Northshore Megamax is my #1 go-to diaper, but I've been trying other diapers recently such as the Sunkiss Ultimate Absorbency diapers in pink from Amazon, or Rearz Select. (ABU or other Rearz diapers are good go-tos if I want something more ABDL.) For October, I've already ordered a couple cases of Rearz Halloween Haunt. 👻

Thanks for keeping us updated! It's always good to spread the word about scammers and shady businesses to spread the word so others in the community don't get ripped off (and this helps stop the scammers since if word gets out, nobody will do business for them). So spreading the world helps protect the abdl community, and thank you for that!

I hope you get to enjoy water parks, public pools etc with no issues OP! I did a little googling and found mostly a bunch of ads for adult swim diapers (some of which looked super cute). Most of my search result rules seemed geared towards HOAs and apartment complexes and those rulings mostly fell under HUD rules, not ADA. I'd assume they'd also apply towards hotels. I didn't look into any legal rulings or ADA laws and I didn't poke around on Westlaw to find any relevant court cases so I'm not sure what the legal precedent would be- and even then that could vary by state or municipality. I got results for various waterparks rules and that seemed to vary from park to park. Some didn't mention swim diapers and the ones that did worded it like: Swim diapers (disposable swim diapers or plastic pants) are required for all diapered guests. Waterpark Rules | The Cove Waterpark Diaper wearing guests must wear a protective swim diaper. Water Park Safety Rules | Great Wolf Lodge Guests who require diapers are required to wear swim diapers or a diaper specifically designed for aquatic use. Please change diapers in the bathroom, not pool side. Water Park Information and Guidelines | Knott's Soak City (knotts.com) All diaper dependent guests must wear an approved swim diaper. Swim diapers are available in the gift shop. splashharbourwaterpark.com/code-of-conduct.html Approved swim diapers are required for all diaper dependent guests. Park Information - SplashDown Beach Water Park All diaper dependent guests are required to wear a swim diaper or a vinyl cover with elastic leg openings. Swim diapers are available in the retail outlets. Waterpark Ride Safety | Texas | Kalahari Resorts & Conventions I think wearing a swim diaper in case of an accident is a good idea.

This is fun! We can keep going back in time until we hit the caveman days and get....

Don't forget having to walk to school 30 miles up hill- both to school and back- in 6 feet of snow in winter. 🤣

Very nice! All that's missing are some dinosaur print waterproof mattress protectors! Or other adorable kid/ baby print waterproof protectors. y'know. Just in case of a diaper leak!

I guess authors will have to start putting "Not an AI-generated story" or "100% human authentic, no AI involved what so ever" to reassure readers it's not AI-generated garbage. Then again, AI "authors" might start using those labels to try and trick readers into buying their "stories".

That makes me wonder how AI generated stories will affect the self-publish market. Some authors, myself included, have stuff up on Amazon and Amazon Kindle. Unless publishing platforms prohibit AI stories, there's nothing stopping people from churning out AI crap and flooding the platforms with it. One response would be "well, human author, make sure your stories are not low quality garbage" but it's easy for authors to get lost in a deluge of AI stories.

Not a gentelman, but I'll still add my two cents. A lot of incontinence or diaper training seems to be pyschological. Some bed-wetting hypnosis might help you get into the bedwetter mindset. Even if you're not wetting the bed yet, it might help to identify yourself as a bedwetter since/ if that's what you've decided to be. You're a bedwetter who doesn't wet the bed yet! Hypnoisis isn't magic, but from what people have posted online, it seems to have helped some people a bit. That, and training, creating a routine and sticking with it. If you wear diapers to bed, do so every night just like you physically needed them. When you wake up, wet your diaper and try to go back to sleep. Do this every night and hopefully you'll get into the routine and retrain your body to accept that it is okay to wet the diaper and not in a toilet. It takes time and perserverence. Best of luck in your journey!

Just 5? Geeze, that's a tough one! 1) Northshore Megamax 2) Rearz too many I like so I'll just say Rearz so it all counts as one 😁(Violet/ Safari/ Alpaca/ Critter Caboose/ Select Vintage/ Active Air/ Rebel/ Lil Monsters/Barnyard) 3) Sunkiss Masterpiece in Pink (found them on Amazon and tried a pack. Absorbent, crinkly, with strong tapes. Ended up ordering a case) 4)ABU Little Paws, Little Kings and Alphagatorz (also really loved Kiddo but those are no longer in production so I didn't list them ) 5) Better Dry or Confidry 24/7 diapers

But the results of pure AI can be comedy gold. 🤣

Great find! Those diaperse are super adorable!

I heard about that too. The loss of their life is tragic, but they apparently were also extremely unprepared. They apparently sheltered in a tent and lived off canned food. "Michael Barnes, the Gunnison County coroner, said on Tuesday that the family members were all from Colorado Springs and had lived “off the grid,” survived on canned food and sheltered in a tent before a harsh winter or malnourishment most likely led to their deaths." Colorado Family Died in Rocky Mountains After Trying to Live ‘Off the Grid’ - The New York Times (nytimes.com) There are plenty of people who live "off grid"- but for that you (general you here, no one specific) definitely need the knowledge and know-how. But it doesn't have to be an either-or situation. A person can "un-plug" their lives while still living at home. One can limit TV/ computer time etc. Spend time focused more on cultivating relationships around you. Garden or join a garden club or society, etc. Learn survival skills. Take up hunting/fishing/fowling etc and learn how to harvest the meat and other animal products yourself. Learn about the native flora and fauna and how to live off the land. Learn survival skills. You can still live at home whilst doing these things. But they do make you prepared in case of a zombie apocalypse or the world ending etc. Maybe move out into the country (again though I recommend doing research and knowing what one is in for). Or live in a small country town? One could also move to an area with a large Amish or Mennonite population so there will be more "unplugged" or "off the grid" type of community around them. If one really wants to live an off the grid life, one could consider joining the Amish. (Hard but not impossible). That way there will be an already established community. For the OP, it sounds like a sit-down and a heart to heart with his wife could help. Discuss WHY she wants to live off the grid and how she's preparing for it. Is there any way they can compromise?

For Fiction: If someone takes actual work or construction advice from a novel or a work of fiction, they're a fucking moron. In fact, I'd bet dollars to donuts any ridiculous lawuit like that would get thrown out of court. (Then again, it's current year so who the hell knows any crazy shit can happen.🤡) But any competent lawyer should be able to handle it and translate "Your Honor, the person suing my client is a fucking moron" into legalese and get it dismissed with prejudice. (aka the moron wouldn't be able to try that lawsuit with you again). You can always put a clause in your fiction book of "This is written for entertainment purposes only and while the author made an attempt to be as accurate as possible, any information or facts presented in the story may not be accurate. If you take mason construction advice from this work of fiction, you're a fucking moron." Or something in that ball park. If you want to be as accurate as possible in your work of fiction, my suggestion would be to make a list of the facts you're not sure of/ things you need to know. And go down the old rabbit hole of research. Maybe check out if there are any mason forums? Or if there are any masonry societies or even mason companies in your area you can reach out to. Send them an email or a phone call or an old fashioned letter, whatever floats your boat. Be all "Hey, My name is John Smith and I'm a writer researching masonry for a book. Are there any masons in your company who would be willing to answer a few technical questions?" For fiction, IME the general vibe seems to be readers generally expect an author to put forth some effort into researching X topic so they're at least familiar with the overall ideas and sound like they know what they're talking about. Something along the lines of "I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV". You don't have to be an expert, but it does help to be somewhat familiar with your topic so your fictional masons sound like they know what they're talking about. Like if you're writing a novel and you have the Amazon River in Egypt instead of the Nile...well, even general layman readers will know something is not right and might call an author out on that. On the other end of the scale are the nit-picky Experts In Their Field who may or may not even read your book. In general they would proabably be in the minority and while you're writing and editing, my advice would be to not worry about pleasing them. They could the really picky types that no matter how hard you try you'll never please them because they just like to poo-poo everything. TLDR: Try to be as accurate as you can but don't kill yourself worrying over every little detail. Do some research so you're familiar with your topic. You're not a doctor; you're just playing one. If you want, you can always try to find an expert to read over your work and fact-check it for you. For Nonfiction: Now, if you're writing a factual, nonfiction book on masonry....that is where you would want to have your facts right. If you're not a mason, it would depend on the topic. Are you writing an introductory guide (like a general information) to masonry? If you're writing nonfiction, this is where having your facts right and accurate would be more important. My only advice would be to let your readers know "Hey, I was a Mason's Helper XYZ years ago and here's my experience!" but anything you're not sure of- especially in nonfiction books- it's more important than in a work of fiction to have an expert go over it for accuracy. Is your nonfiction a memoir? Then you can be straight with your readers and just say "Hey, this book is all about my memories and lived experience, I'm not sure of Facts X,Y,Z so take my words with a grain of rice and double check those facts! I tried reaching out to professional masons, etc did my due diligence and didn't turn up any answers so y'all are on your own. Anyway, back to the time that toilet exploded and everyone had to wear diapers..." Memoirs are a different nonfiction ball game than instruction manuals or information books such as The ABDL's Guide to Masonry (just made that up, couldn't resist 😁) There is a big difference between the accuracy standard of facts for fiction books vs nonfiction books. Nonfiction books get used as references by readers for facts and information. Either way, I wish you the best of luck and success and have fun writing your book!

Thanks for the heads up. 👍 Always good to be aware of those nasty lil things!

I never heard of them, so I had to look them up. That seems like an excellent solution if someone is worried about diapers in a locker room and possible reactions from others. Most people probably wouldn't even look twice- those look just like regular underwear.

I've been watching some non-western media because they have different formats etc of story telling. Tbh I think this strike could be a good thing for western media. Let's get some fresh ideas and try new things! A lot of the recent media IMO has been stale- it's the same thing over and over and over again to the point things got predictable in general. Sometimes the previews for a show or movie looked good but then the movie or show falls flat or goes compeltely off the rails and jumps the shark- or they'll do a reboot or retake of an already established fandom only to crap all over it. My latest obsession is Demon Slayer anime. The animation, the storyline, the characters, everything is just *chef's kiss* It is a little more bloody than Bleach or Naruto, but nowhere near as bloody as Tokyo Ghoul. There's some awesome K-dramas (Korean dramas) out there too- everything from romance to horror.

I wear NorthShore Trifecta waterproof pants over my cloth backed disposables because it helps keep in wetness and odors and helps contain leaks. Sometimes I wear them with a plastic backed diaper too, but not usually. Any time I'm wearing a cloth backed disposable diaper, I have a Trifecta panty on.

I'm not sure it's an exact copy or copyright infringement. Perhaps heavily inspired by or influenced by it, but I've noticed some differences. Minnie Mouse is at more of an angle while the pink bear is facing the viewer more and her head is tilted, and both Minnie and Pink Bear are smiling. Same thing with Mickey and Yellow Bear- Mickey is more sideways and with more body facing the viewer while Yellow Bear is at more of an angle. There are other subtle differences. It is very similiar, so I can see where one would think they were directly copying them. Maybe Lil Comforts should've switched the coloring on Pink Bear and Yellow Bear to further differentiate them? Perhaps Lil Comforts is toeing the line if they copied, or perhaps they know what they're doing and just went up to the line? Alas, I'm not a lawyer with expertise in copyright law (and I'm far, far too lazy to go into Westlaw database and dig through copyright cases to see how courts have ruled in the past to see what the current legal precedent is), so I really can't say. The poses and expressions are very similar, but there are some differences. I don't know if those differences are enough to say it's just inspired by, or if it's a copy with enough differences to be on the legal side of "just enough changes to NOT be a copy even though everyone knows it's a copy"? Either way, the design of the diaper is cute! And for me, when I see it, I don't automatically think of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Then again, I'm not always familiar with the current prints on baby diapers so this did go over my head.

Now that begs the old question.....if it happens inside a diaper, does it count as an accident? After all, that's what the diaper is for... Very true. Plus I think an adult would have to be pretty desperate to pull their britches down whilst in the company of others and go potty in the car in front of everyone else. I think adults in general are too used to privacy for that. I can see it being designed more for kids.

At first, I thought maybe it was a portable training potty for toddlers. But it's a port-o-potty for the car! ....I think I"ll stick with my diapers. Imagine getting pulled over by a cop and you get caught with a toilet strapped to your fanny. Or a car accident.

A very soggy Sunkiss Masterpiece plastic-backed diaper in pink that's almost due for a change.

On hot days, I like thinner cloth-backed diapers, like Rearz Active Air or NorthShore Go Supreme pullups, even if it means I have to change more often.

I thought that as well. I'm wondering if Zack will have a breaking point or if Kelly will manage to completely pyschologically shatter him. Or both!
