The light hasnt so far helped very much. ABDLs that get outed still face discrimination abuse and ridicule. Some have lost obs and careers. It will be quite a while until it is even remotely fiar and decent.

I tore my left meniscus recently. When the doctor was examining me, she let slip that she wasn't gonna get paid for treating me because I wasn't filing a Workmans Comp claim...
Something's seriously wrong with the entire health-care system
It certainly sounds like it. I dont get the 'socialism' argument. Health care is a human right in a society that can afford it - and it can

I live in Australia. Prescriptions are about $30 and after about $1500 per year are either free or a few dollars. ANd what is covered by the prescription scheme is almost everything. Epipens are $30. A friend's child suffers from chronic shortness (a boy likely to be under five foot as an adult). He has gone onto an expensive set of daily injections of growth hormones. it is $6000/month and will be needed for 6 years - about $425000 in all. But here, it costs just $30/month. The best news is that it is working and has added 2 inches in 2 months (he is 13)
The american health system is the worst in the western world. The #1 reason for bankruptcy in USA is medical bills. IN Australia, almost nobody has that problem.
My two hospital stays this year totalling 14 days cost $70,000. I paid... nothing. Our medical system has man, many problems, but it looks like heaven compared to most others.
Maybe you guys might want to move over here. And as an added bonus, our politicians are only morons, not criminals, traitors and money-grubbing scumbags.

Sounds logical. My wife accepts the moniker of Mommy but none of the "responsibilities" and is painfully vanilla. She almost went ballistic when I simply gave her my basic ideas about detachable rail sections for my twin bed... I'd still like one but my adult side wants to get a queen/king split adjustable, mutually incompatible wants...
This is common and I personally relate. it took a long time for me to accept responsibility as an AB mummy when Joanne is fully regressed. It has taken even longer to agree to a crib even tho we currently cannot have one. if you have tolerance and nominal acceptance, you are still way ahead of the pack!

The article was a very good read. I feel it has defined the psychology that many of us share here. I love how its written factually instead of anecdotally. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm glad it was helpful. Like all our articles and non-fiction books we are trying to help people and make a positive difference.

It sounds like an enterprising and clever carpenter who can make a proper adult baby crib that can be quickly knocked down, might find a very large market. Would it be true that most ABDLs who want a crib dont get one because it cant be hidden?

thank you very kindly
Ive had open-chest surgery before (not cardiac) so I know that drama of just recovering from the operation itself, nevermind what they did when there. Take it slow and pray constantly.

i think so, honestly. i don't think it ever left me from when i was potty trained. it waned a good amount for many years, but it never really went away. for me, i felt happier after i discovered that i wasn't alone in my interests (thank you, internet!)
before i found out about this all, i think i was kinda down on myself for liking diapers. not in a real hard, self-loathing kinda way, but more of a "i don't know why i like diapers... is this right?" sort of way, more sort of confused and unsure, really.
then i stumbled onto this whole thing one day in college while looking for adult diapers and it was like an entire new world was shown to me. i no longer felt alone, i felt some encouragement and reassurance that i wasn't so odd (in that aspect, anyway lol), that liking diapers was ok, and life is good.
Even now here are still people who think they are alone. 30 years ago, EVERYONE felt they were alone. And weird.
Its a new world, but ABDLs are still restricted to the shadows, but at least, no longer in the shadows alone.

My first outward act that could be indicative of my ABDL proclivities was in the 7th or 8th grade when I was walking home from a nighttime band marching practice and messed my underwear, intentionally. I don't remember ever desiring to wear diapers during that time or even earlier but deliberately messing my underwear has got to be a sign of what was to come in adulthood.
it was probablly all there beforehand but took a few triggers and some time to come out.

Thanks for that! It looks like the "ABU Simple" might be the plain version of the ABU space. If you buy them by the case (8 packs), the unit price is actually quite reasonable although the shipping charges were silly (this is more likely a website issue as they currently call that out). The ABU simple might be a viable alternative to the BetterDry which has been out of stock for a while.
ABU postage calcs are dumb. Buy a half case or full case and the postage is quite reasonable and the unit prices are good.

Yep, I hear you. Although just wet ones, my house is on three levels on a steeply sloping block. Failing to regularly empty the nappy bin in my study will create weighty problems.
What type of disposables do you use for night? I'm using Molicare slip maxi but I'm always on the look out for tips from others as to products that might be better (or no worse, but cheaper).
After trying all the ABUs and most of the Rearz one we have found the ABU Space to be a gret night nappy. It is high-waisted and with impervious plastic outers. The bunnyHops and Dinorawz have plastic backings that will 'ooze' when very wet and since he gets VERY wet at night that isnt very good. Also, if you buy them by the half-case they are well priced. Also, the PeekABUs are superb and never seem to leak, but are more expensive. Given the money we might get some of the rearz ones since they are great and even the tykables, but money is very tight so price is THE important point at the moment.
I wish ABU would sponsor my baby!! (yeah right!)

I love flat blocks. Our last house was on a 800sqm block almost dead flat. same where we are now only 300sqm

My answer to a weeks worth of wet/messy adult disposables: a large shallow plastic tote/box with a hand dolly to wheel it to the dumpster... that and Schwarzenegger strength to lift the bag (his "Mr. Universe" days strength, not his strength today, although it is probably worlds more than my strength.)
We dump more often than once a week. They pile of wet and messys gets big and heavy very quickly.

My baby is on S26 baby formula. She absolutely LOVES it and it works for her. On holidays, she goes pretty much ONLY on formula and enjoys it immensely.

Ah, I see. Yes, and tumble-drying nappies constantly uses a lot of power, creates a lot of heat and doesn't do the nappies much good either. Line-drying nappies remains a low level friction point in our relationship. I guess it would be possible for a neighbour on one side to identify adult-sized nappies and plastic pants on our line if they hung off the right balcony at the right angle but frankly, they'd have to work at it and then connect the dots on what they could see. If they are that keen on laundry forensics, good luck to them I say. All my gear is plain colours and sans-frills so in a worst-case scenario, it would appear to be pathological rather than psychological.
A unit or flat however with common area lines would be a different ballpark. Hopefully you will get the opportunity of getting back some personal space again and not just for nappy laundry. I think I'd go a bit mad in a high density living environment.
Wouldn't you have similar problems with disposing of nappies in a flat? I've been awfully impressed with how bulky and heavy a week's worth of used adult nappies is! A lift or a few flights of stairs would be a real challenge.
We are renting a house, but it is quite small so it isnt pragmatic to line dry nappies. Our old house had a large well-hidden clothesline which was perfect for cloth nappies. And yes, a weeks worth of wet and dirty nappies can be quite a load! I'd go crazy in flats. ugh!

Bras seem to be quite at conflict with a baby, but as I've slowly discovered, a sissy baby and wear a bra and panties and it makes PERFECT SENSE... to them. That's enough for me, even though my baby is not allowed to wear a bra in public.

I hope it all goes well for you. It is always a tough deal living as a baby in a relationship.

I'd cheerfully wear cloth every night if I could. I don't mind the "wet" feeling (it's actually strangely comforting and more "warm" than "wet"), it's greener, it's cheaper and VERY unlikely to leak in bed. It's the laundry logistics (we both work) and lack of odour control (my wife hates the wet nappy smell) that prevent this. I wear cloth usually two nights of the week before wash day.
I imagine in your case it must be logistics for some reason since you're most likely accustomed to occasional nappy smells after 30 years!
I'm fortunate that I seem to have reached the point where my bedtime wettings are high frequency/low volume so disposable leaks in bed are much rarer than they were a year ago but they are still not unheard of. I'd never dare sleep in a bed in just a disposable, I'd need some protection over it.
We sold our large house and moved to a small rented place without any private drying facilities which made cloth nappies unviable. Also, all the cloth nappies and plastic pants were worn out so we had to use disposables. If we get the money to buy a house again, I will will move my baby back to cloth nappies and plastic pants. But that could take a while.
Cloth nappies are much better at night and I find them fare more babyish, especially with frilly plastic pants.

Since discovering my inner child in ABDL, I have felt happier and more complete than ever before. I love the escape that Little space gives me, the diapees, the pacis, the diapees, the smell good powder, my baba, watching cartoons, oh did I mention the diapees?? ???
It is an intriguing post because for some - and probably a lot - they never 'discovered' their ABDL side, but were aware of it from their earliest memories. It is a reminder that the strength of the regressive drive and how it evolves in people can vary enormously. Some people 'discover' their ABDL side in their teens but when asked a lot of questions, we discover that there were a lot of signs well before then but never really made a big change.
When there is a strong ABDL drive then yes, expressive it and allowing it to 'breathe' does bring happiness, comfort and a sense of peace. My baby's EARLIEST memory as a 3yo was wanting to wear nappies. But for some, it doesnt evolve into a significant drive until the teens, even tho the idea of it has always been present.

I have been wearing 24/7 for over 2 years now. My compulsion to wear and use diapers, is incredibly strong. It claws at my mind constantly if I am not wearing a diaper. My anxiety and depression are compounded ten fold if I am not in a diaper. I have been in therapy with multiple psychiatrists and psychologists for about 4 years, for issues with diagnosed mental illness. My Dr's advice and my wife's advice and my closest friends advice has been to just wear and use diapers so I can function in my day to day living. If I carry myself with dignity and respect and keep my diapers under my clothes and in my business, then its no one elses business. My advice is to just wear the diapers 24/7 if you need to, so you can take some control of your life.
I would agree. For some, going 24/7 is a therapeutic device all on its own that give the wearer the peace and control they have been searching for. And over time, it gets easier.
We have an article on this exact topic here. https://abdiscover.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/24-7.pdf It will be in audio format later on.

To be a little more accurate, it's the brushing-of-the-teeth that more or less guarantees that a night nappy put on dry for that ceremony is usually at least ever-so-slightly damp before I get into bed. Running water in general will provoke pee.
Like @Stroller I was well aware of this quirk well before permanent nappies and had simply written it off as a kind of Pavlovian conditioning.
After prolonged 24/7 nappy usage however, the reaction seems to have become much stronger (or, perhaps my ability to resist this reaction has grown much weaker). Just a few months ago I wet my nappy unintentionally rinsing something at a sink. It was of absolutely zero consequence of course (I was in a dry nappy!) but I could not recall consciously deciding to do that (although I'd made no attempt to stop it either). I just ran the tap and within seconds, felt a characteristic warm wetness forming at my crotch.
It is a fascinating insight. I always thought it was oversold but perhaps it is far more common than I thought!

I just wish there was a disposable that was effective for side sleepers. I can always tell if I've wet on my side as my terry-lined trainers have "taken one for the team".
It is why for most of the last 30years my baby was in cloth and plastic pants. it is only in our current circumstances hat we are forced into disposables.

I'm curious about those who wear diapers to bed nightly to see what brand that they wear. Some questions are, what brand do you wear? Do you wear the same night diaper that you wear in the day, or are your night diapers more absorbent, thicker and longer lasting than your day diapers? What do you like best about the diaper you have chosen to wear to bed? Has it always worked well for you? Do you ever get up in the morning and find that your diaper has leaked or is it soaked but not leaking? How many hours can your night diaper last you on average before you start to have a problem or it starts to leak? Do you ever have to get up in the middle of the night to change diapers if it's soaked or too wet? If you wear a different diaper in the day, what is the major difference between your night diaper and your daytime diaper?
Our preference has always been thick terry nappies and high-waisted plastic pants. At present however, circumstances have My baby wearing largesize highwaisted disposables to bed.

Because you didnt fully make it out of the infant stage and you are determined to return and complete it - but never do.
Admittedly that is the Readers Digest version but... not wrong.
