It was interesting too BT when you talk about self esteem, because in email banter today while at work she emailed me and thanked me for the weekend and place to stay. But she also said that she acknowledged the guts it took to tell her and appreciated my honesty. Now of course off the back of that I'm not about to get a big head and start signposting myself in nappies everywhere but it was just the boost I needed to feel better about being in this niche of the world. My self esteem has boosted significantly now... YAY!! All your comments and support is greatly appreciated too!

To everyone who has commented it is appreciated! This event truly balances out the previous experiences which did not go down well at all. As everyone here has experienced it is about making that judge call whether telling them or not will be the end of the friendship. Sometimes it's not the end of the friendship but the dynamic changes for good. That can be tough to deal with too. Some ex's have been down right rude and ignorant too, which never helps the self esteem!! Cheers all!!

Sweet, please keep me in the loop... I'm interested to meet up.

Welcome aboard! Hopefully you get what your after

Very cute!!! 2 thums up!!

Hi group! Call me your long time listener first time caller here, but could not help but share my experience yesterday! One of my close female friends crashed at my place last night. Now she knows I wet the bed and has been very understanding. I accompanied her to a 40th birthday at a play centre and the little me went bananas there. As most here would understand a play centre hosting a 40th would usually mean uninterrupted and guilt free play time on the jungle gym. So off I went and had my fun. Eventually I coaxed her to play with me and she could see me being "regressive" as we played. Fast forward to the end of the night and we were getting ready for bed (for importance and clarity we are friends and she has a BF so very much a platonic r/ship) so I mentioned I was heading to the bathroom to get ready. She knows that I wear nappies to bed thus enquired "what do you wear, can I see" so being very aprehensive and shy (all the while bouncing off the walls on the inside) showed her the abena I had. To that end I made a very off the cuff and silly remark "come on, you wear one too I dare ya" and was blindsided when she indicated she'd be more than happy to. Of course in her mind it was all about being a good friend to me and showing her support. Didn't bother me one iota!! Once we were snuggled in our respective sleeping bags the conversation eventally led back to the nappies. Mainly she was curious about coping mechanisms for this (bedwetting and wearing every night) and it led me perfectly into discussing ABDL. Usual introductions were made to help her understand which worked well and created a positive angle for her to understand. She was so calm and cool about it all. She could see the differences with AB & DL and could understand how ABDL may be of benefit in my situation. Not much else came from the conversation or the night. She did not wet it and she did not change me in the morning (for those wandering minds here ), I would never ask her of that anyway. But it was great and felt great to actually engage in positive conversation about ABDL and receive such a warm response and understanding. It has recharged my batteries so to speak. Thought I would share my experience! Thanks group!

Hey welcome aboard!! BTW va-jay-jay = hilarious!!

Hey hey!! Welcome aboard!

I also enjoy my nappy trying to hold myself from going... Sometimes I'll either hold my bladder or bowels as long as i can before finally letting go. Sometimes that can really test whatever it is your wearing. If your wearing Abena's you should be fine, they take almost any beatings you throw at them!! Hope this helps!

Excellent... I've heard wispers of gatherings but nothing solid. PM me we can sort something out.

Hey gang, I know there are a few Melbournites amongst us here... Haven't heard too much from any recently (my own hermit ways play a lot to do with that ) and I wanted to see what sort of social scene existed at all here. Do people meet up regularly or have play dates and such? I've decided it's time to meet people and really make the most of this!! So, if your from Melbourne and if you would like to catch up please respond... Would like to make friends and meet people!! Cheers all... Go Cats!!! (As a Pies Supporter that was a hard pill to swallow!!)

I would like to see a day centre where all aspects of the venue were 'upscaled' to make you look the toddler or infant. For example, you would walk into a building not unlike any normal factory but once inside the venue is built like a nursery. High Chairs are truly high, something like 15 feet high and a crib where the bars stretch to 8 feet so you can't escape. The only 'non realistic' addition would be androids that were sized to your ratio as a baby. The android would be something like 30 foot but could pick you up or nurse you or put you in a giant stroller to push you around your nursery... I've even thought about recreating the birthing process where you are inserted into a womb and must be born (to escape of course) and then placed into "mommy's arms" for all the pampering you ever wanted...

While I was in China earlier this month I had the privelidge of purchasing a pack of Doctor P's. While they surely had the very babyish designs on front (for you AB's out there) I actually found that they were like any other brand of diaper, similar to the depends in capacity. I also found that they leaked very easily after one wetting. For the sake of being a one off, sure they were okay but I would not endorse them for full time or regular use. It was bizzare though, walking into a major shopping centre and finding them just there in the medical isle. I'm sure glad I don't speak mandarin, cause I did not want to know what people were saying about a foreigner buying diapers

Yeah I have seen that pic....missed that particular scene though....Dammit. definately a very strange film all round though.....

Bel, you sound like Germaine Grier..... Steve Irwin was a great man who was dedicated, honest and down to earth. He was no different behind the camera or in front of the camera. His work with conservation has set a benchmark on how animals should be treated. If you have ever been or are ever going to come out to Australia I suggest you go and see just what sort of work he and his team @ Australia Zoo had been working on. He knew there were risks involved when doing these sorts of things with animals, but it was done for the purpose of education, conservation and preservation of the many abundant species of animals that exist not only in the wetlands of Far North Queensland and Northern Territory, but all over the world. Currently there are projects for animal hospitals not only in Queensland, but in the pacific and there was talk of a major land purchase in the Mid US for wildlife there too. His arm of influence stretched worldwide and his shoes will be very hard to fill. I tip my hat off to Steve Irwin..........Cheers for a great man!

Yeah RMS I would have to agree about the Abena's. Very thick and lots of padding for all the wetting one can handle. Was a little disapointed at the Waist Tabs, so I have decided to stay clear, unless I can get my hands on something on par with them........

Im listening to Hunters and Collectors - Holy Grail.............Awesome song to sing along too while blind drunk in a pub..........Of course out of tune....he he

It is different for everyone, some share an intense emotional response when in nappies (diapers), others simply find that wearing a diaper can be a real turn-on. I consider myself to be a dl, where diapers are a fetish form. Unfortunately, this resulted in me breaking up with my partner. She, like yourself was totally shocked by the concept and could not come to terms with it. If your husband loves you enough, he will not pressure you. I know from mistakes past that pressure did not work and our intemacy suffered. But be patient, and understanding. Make yourself clear about how you feel too, if he respects you he will not badger you. Cheers

This seems to have a lot to do with the 'binge/purge' cycle, I know I fit that catagory. Some times ages without and then days at a time. The excitement of wearing, then followed by the annoyance or moral confusion. Like, hey i'm an adult, don't really need these. Sorry, this all comes from a not so understanding ex. Damn that can screw with your head. Anyhow right now i'm on binge.........
