Hey Huggies, what are you looking for in a nappy? Do you want babyish styles that will fit and create memories of your younger days or do you want an all round fit that replicates the true adult nappy? Depending on where you are you can find quality adult brands at your local chemist, if you feel confident you can just wander in and take a peek around. It took me a while to do that but eventually I sussed out all the locals where I can get adult nappies. Oh and it's very very convenient to live 500m from Independence Solutions factory outlet in Melbourne. I can literally walk to the outlet and get anything I like!! You should research those guys, if they service your area top choice for adult nappies!!

Hey there, drynites are alright... I see your new, welcome aboard! Hit me up if you want to chat - likeminded DL down here.

Heya mate, not from SE QLD from Melbourne... Come on guys & gals shout out your Aussie presence!!

I have been with my girlfriend near on a year now. I told her upfront and she was as understanding as anyone with no knowledge of ABDL would be. However, she knew it was important to me and she knew how much we cared about each other. She listened, learned and even posted a topic on this very website all in the good faith of understanding. It was odd for her to see me in a nappy at first and was very awkward for me too. However the nature of our relationship is very mature and she learned to accept this as me. She is now throwing in little comments just to let me know I'm her baby. It's the sweetest feeling, being yourself and having someone who loves and supports you - I'm glad to have her and couldn't imagine myself with anybody else. It's my birthday on Thursday and for weeks she's been teasing me about a "gift" she would give me. I "gifted" myself some ABU SDK and they arrived yesterday. She knows I bought them and has suggested they be made available to me on the night of my birthday. Me thinks I shall be getting my very first baby time!! So excited - shall keep you posted!

Hey mate I'm from Melbourne - good to see more of us around. Hope to see ya on the boards!

Hmm, I don't think most Yanks understand just how big the game is. Finally a sport where USA cannot say they are world champions. Soccer, football or however you refer the game is a phenomenal and exciting sport to watch, skills abound and it's constant, not start and stop fifty times a game. You can't really argue with a viewing audience of a billion or more people. Keep me posted Sarah I can't catch games in my time zone!! Pfft I value sleep and my job

1 Abena stuffed with 2 pampers for inserts, EPIC awesomeness!!

I was a little shocked at how quick the USA defences were passed for the opening goal. 3 minutes in by Gerrard!! Meanwhile we got smashed 4-0 by Germany... We seriously need to re-assess the gameplan now. Go Aussie!!!

I recall a similar incident in Australia 20 odd years ago... The supposed "Dingo ate my Baby" claim by Lindy Chaimberlain out in Alice Springs. Woman was accused and sentenced to little Azaria's murder and then was aquitted when fresh evidence was found supporting her claim. Recent evidence has affirmed her theory - animals are capable of anything really. Not surprised by this situation.

Well, talk about a one in a million odd moment that took a bit of creativity on my behalf to explain myself being there!! Allow me to explain: I live around the corner from a large warehouse distribution point for all things diapers, pads and incontinence items. It's fantastic as it allows me to drop in anytime I like anonymously and make my purchases discreetly without anyone I know finding out - until an hour ago! So I walked in and ordered and paid, then went round the side to collect my purchase (Abriform Xplus if you were wondering ) and who should be there to greet me and actually fill my order was a very well connected and well tied friend of many years. The surprise on both our faces was interesting. With the obvious surprise and greet out of the way she asks "what are you doing here" (as I'm sure others have experienced THE question we all find hard to answer ) and I just happen to blurt out something about on duty for work. Now this passed as an obvious acknowledgment as its been years since our last chat. However she's connected to mutual friends who actually know what I do. Oh, and she's related to my soon to be brother in law's best man. So it's fair to say it may swing around to greet me sometime... I'll cross that bridge if and when I have to, until then no point worrying really is there?? So it leads me to the obvious question - has this ever happened to you? How did you react and how did you dig yourself out of that "what are you doing here" moment? Cheers!

Hi gang! I wanted to post my thoughts and use this as a thank you. The many conversations brought before it made my situation very easy to navigate. What I've learned in my relationship experience is the very delicate balance of expectations vs the value of your relationship. I'd love to open this up and hear other stories of good situations and bad situations. Times when you thought it was right to do the big reveal and it all went to poop. Or it just happened and your expectations were exceeded beyond your (and most of ours I'd reckon) wildest dreams! I'd like to take the opportunity to briefly discuss the status of my relationship - and then I'll leave the floor open to your interpretations, comments and stories of your own. So I've been with a gal just on 6 months now. Early days and all but I wanted to try and balance getting to know her and establishing that 'trust' versus the big reveal way too early. In past experiences I've had the way too long (as in 4 years which ruined the trust) and the way too short (never called me back) of things so naturally trying to balance the timing was an issue I wanted to get right. PLUS I think this girl suits me very well and I see a long future with her. After many times of referring to the sensical (and some very random) posts on this very site (hats off to you DD for such a great community! ) I've found that being honest about who you are and having that confidence to stand with your thoughts and feelings (you are who you are) while admitting the single biggest secret you hold to someone you trust 100% helps the process. With confidence comes the ability to hold true to yourself and get past that point of the reveal. Such a big part of the nature of the relationship moving forward from the reveal is the tolerance/understanding/acceptance of your SO. Some will not understand, some will not accept and some will be very open to new ideas (and for those lucky people) the situation becomes easy. For me, my SO is accepting but lacks understanding. Her personality dictates a very learning nature and she is endeavouring to learn as much as possible to be able to understand. Some things she indulges in (nurturing gestures, cuddles and gentle kisses, little comments here and there) and other elements of my reveal remain elusive. What I asked myself was: How much do I value this girl? The answer was simple... Very much! So I could not simply reveal and then lay down with my legs in the air and say "change me"... Any self respecting person with half a brain would know that's a one way ticket to splitsville. Unless she of course suggests it then to that I say - good luck and enjoy!! So here I am with the question - how do I balance the value of this relationship versus the expectations of my indulgence? I anticipate with conversation, meaning and understanding there will come a day where she may just answer the call to my shout for a change but until then I take our little moments of ABDL talk in their stride. Good example of late I had to swap rooms with my housemate. So when moving my boxes I thought I'd show her the extent of my collection. I did not expect anything of her, nor did I ask anything of her. But I felt confident enough to show her what I have accrued. She had a chuckle at my cute pink plastic pants but didn't say too much. I was satisfied with myself for showing just a little bit more. She's seen the rest of my collection so there is nothing I'm hiding from her. 100% trust has been achieved. She values my openness with her and she understands how hard it must be. Things get better, each conversation brings a little more understanding. This site provided her some great words of advice. To those who posted on her thread in the relationship section I thank you - your understanding words and votes of confidence to this situation have really helped her understand. I do not hold out the expectation she will 100% indulge me but I don't mind because I value the relationship. End of the day - it's give and take! My rules with relationships vs Expectations: * Do not overdo it - don't be pushy. * In their time, not yours. * Clear concise description of your feelings * Small doses though I've just realised how long winded this has become. BUT - I would like you to share your words of wisdom with me. Tell me your story. Tell me your successes, your failures. I'm keen to know how others got through the early stages to a long lasting and enjoyable experience!

Yeah it's a little frustrating

Welcome aboard - hope you enjoy your time here!

Hey guys, question from Melbourne in Australia. Perhaps fellow Aussies can assist me or some others in the know. My latest purchase of Tena Slip "Feel Dry" addition has me concerned at the minimal amount of actual padding within. Is it just me or have they re-sized the amount of padding within? It seems less than what I remember of this product. Any assistance would be appreciated thanks.

I've ordered from Nice Diaper via ebay quite a while ago... I ordered the All in One diaper with plastic covering and after 5 washes they all fell apart. The plastic came away from the velcro tapes and rendered the diaper useless without plastic pants. I threw them out after that. From Australia the cost was marginal - probably about $15 shipping if i recall. However being curious I paid anyway. I wont be using their services again!

Mate, either your taking the piss (pardon the pun) or you got some critical head issues... Even describing your work environment it would never work. You'd probably die from a severe fecal backlog or something cause there is no diaper in existance that can take what one would expell in a week. How much food would you consume in a week in terms of Kilos? Think about that? Then imagine that weight tightly secured around your waist only getting heavier and heavier... We all love the occasional BM but not to that magnitude! Rethink your plans!!

Hey guys, I just wanted to post a small tribute to the 173 lives lost on that horrific day. May they rest in peace and be remembered. Depending on where you are in the world and the exposure to media coverage you have, some of you may recall that on February 7, 2009 a major bushfire (or series of bushfires as most will say) ripped through the mountain ranges north of Melbourne, Australia. For those of us who live a little closer to the action (personally I live 20kms from the event and personally lost friends as a result) the scars and images of the fire ravaged communities still burns deep. For those of you who live in prone wildfire areas you will appreciate the devastation a fire can cause given the right conditions. Thanks for allowing me to share. Stick

Hey man you're moving? Where you moving to? Good luck and happy travels by the way!!

I'm afriad they are very hard to come by online... I was in Shanghai in 2007 and they were openly stocked on the shelves. My most recent visit though they were not available - however this was at the local megamart near my mates house I never ventured further on account of my overwhelming lack of Chinese speaking ability!! Just on a note they weren't the most exciting diapers - sure they had the nice front panel with hearts but for absorbancy the were not very practical. Cheers

Depends on my mood... sometimes i'm changed immediately or sometimes i hang around for a while... And there are those times you should have changed after the last wetting... We have a leak captain argh!!! hehe

Waiting till the right moment to move aye Spokane? Would give the new residents a right fright finding months of used diapers under the kitchen sink!!

Yep... Tis true - My secret it out... Uh oh's!!

Hey mate, unfortunately I've never been to the USA but I've met quite a few Americans and Canadians who all state they would love to move here in an instant. Where in Australia is up to you but the social and economical aspects of AUS are quite appealing. Called me biased but I reckon Australia could give you a better chance. Just remember it all comes down to what you want to achieve and get out of the scenario. Make sure you move here (potentially) for the right reasons and do it for you, no one else!! Cheers mate, if your ever in Melbourne drop me a line will share a beer (or 10) with ya!!
