No. With a caveat* As per special theory of relativity, which is current best description of relationship between time and space, c (speed of light in vacuum) is THE top speed at which anything can move across space, and as far as we know, only thing capable of traveling at it are particles that have no mass (photons). Anything with non zero mass would require infinite amount of energy to accelerate to c, so that's out of the question for now. * The only hypothetical way of crossing a distance in shorter time than light could cross it, is to take a shortcut through a fourth spatial dimension (a wormhole), which remains to be verified whether that's even possible. And if it is and a massive object could go through it, then so could light, and it would still have us beat in a fair race.

A diaper, fresh out of a pack or laundry, is is nice and clean. Toilet seats are always crawling with bacteria and other nasty germs. So it's a no-brainer which one I'd rather have pressed against my sensitive parts.

While

At this point I can wet my diaper in almost any position (haven't tried upside down yet; I'm working on it). For pooping I'll usually squat if it needs any persuasion; if it's a mushy one that goes without much pushing, any position will do.

Wearing a diaper without using it for what it's for (not even peeing them), is to me like having a set of woodchisels, and never carve anything with them.

I ticked the frist two: (No, AB/DL is a private thing. I respect that. / No, as a private thing, I wouldn't want it done to ME.) I'd like to address the other possible answers, as all of them have non-zero amount of agrees. Sure, it's no big deal. It can be done as a joke, all in fun. - Excuse me but what the fuck? Who the hell would seriously do that? Just because it's not a big deal to you, doesn't mean everybody sees it the same way. Yes, there's times when a bastard DESERVES to be exposed. Who CARES the result? - I understand the temptation, such as in a case of one's retaliation to being outed by an in-group fellow, but still, it's stooping down to their level gives me mixed feelings. But I can't judge, I can't say with certainty how I'd react if it was me. Yes, if someone disses me, THEY deserve the same treatment! - see above Yes, especially if the revelation pays decent bucks from the scandal paper... - whoever does this is a colossal asshole who deserves to be sued for every penny he got for the "revelation" and then some. Yes, if you're gonna be in politics, you'd better be lilly white! - Being AB/DL is not a crime, or an immorality, or anything even remotely reprehensible (when being induldged in privately and with moderation, or not at all), so being an AB/DL and a lilly white are not mutually exclusive. Just because someone is a public figure, doesn't mean everything from their privacy needs to be public knowledge. Otherwise, what's next? Publishing detailed descriptions of public figure's bowel movements? Or their nude pics? There is one case where I see it as acceptable, and that's if someone who is ABDL themself, used anti-ABDL rhethoric for their own personal or political gain, as long as that specific rhethoric would make at least one ABDL person's (or any one person's) life go bad. If someone ruins someone elses life for their own gain, they deserve the taste of their own medicine.

Classic mustard for me, possibly something else (horseradish), but NEVER ketchup.

Every type of the so called "cloth backed" or "cotton-feel" diapers I have ever seen, worn and cut apart (Tena Slip, Tena Flex, Tena Stretch/bariatric, Seni Super of all four absorbency levels and some seni classic or standard types, Abena L4 air plus, iD Slip Maxi, Molicare Slip, Molicare Elastic, ABU preschool, dailee slip, Attends and Depend super something something, Attends, and probably some others) have a plastic layer over the entirety of the absorbent core, which does not permit any wetness through. This layer however does not extended over the core to the wings; wings are made of only the cloth-like outer layer of nonwoven fabric. This is by design to allow breathing. If there's wetness spreading to the wings, the outer fabric layer may work as a wick and cause the outside to feel wet. The problem is that on most types of cloth-backed diapers this layer is very thin, almost transparent, and permeable to not only air, but also liquid. On Seni Super, this layer is a lot thicker and stronger than is typical for other cloth-backed diapers, and it doesn't let liquid through. It's still breathable, although perhaps not as much as the thinner kind of fabric. The ABU preschool cloth-backed also have a pretty good outer layer.

I second that. Seni makes arguably the best breathable diapers there are. But you have to make sure you get the Seni Super Trio, or better still, Seni Super Quatro. Expensive, but worth it. They're more expensive than top absorbency Abenas. In Europe, anyway. Avoid the Seni Classic and Seni Standard lines, they're cheaper, but much lower grade, thinner outer layer, worse tapes and everything. Glennie, your post is neither true nor helpful.

I sure do! It used to be just shirts, sometimes sweatpants I'd have on while wearing, peeing and pooping diapers, but once I got me some snap crotch onesies, it made wearing diapers, and using them for what they're for, much better, so that's what I always wear now. And recently I even got a footed romper, which I put on top of that, and that makes everything even more betterer! ?

I've gotten padded up in a really thick set of night time diapers 3 hours ago, wet some, and I've felt cramps even before getting padded up, but obviously I had better things to do then be bothered to go poopoo on a potty beforehand, but now it's become too uncomfortable to hold it any longer, so I've done it right in my diaper. And I definitely didn't hold it in on purpose, so I could wake up in a wet poopy diaper the next morning, proving that I am definitely not ready to sleep with pull-ups as the only protection for accidents (let alone be wearing just big boy pyjamas) and do still need a proper diaper for the night, just like a little toddler, and would probably be better off with one during the day too. My adult side will be soo frustrated when he'll have to shell out yet another sum of money for yet another pack of diapers, but little me will be spool happy, because I love my diapers and I won't give them up for anything. Anyway, It's way past bedtime for little boys who still wear diapers to bed, and change is out of the question now, so I guess this naughty little boy will be sleeping all through the night in his pooped diapers. That should be fun ?

No, the actual issue is not cloth vs. disposable but thick vs. thin, and if musicaddict needs something that's discreet but with adequate absorbency, cloth is hardly a solution. Only solution that comes to my mind is, try different brands and see what works best. Male vs. female anatomy is also secondary. Main problem is human anatomy. Our hips, loins, crotches and buttocks don't exactly have shapes and functions that go very well with wearing diapers. It's almost as if human body wasn't adapted for urine collection by absorption directly from the outlet. Modern diapers are a compromise between multiple interests that come in conflict with each other (fit, absorption, comfort, cost, profit, environment protection ...), ideal solution doesn't exist, best we can do are variations of focus on one or other aspect, and cloth is NOT a solution that's objectively better than disposable in every single one of those aspects, anyone's opinions notwithstanding.

Now hold on a second, that's not exactly true. SAP on its own would do that, but in a disposable diapers there's always a mixture of pulp and SAP. Granted, the contemporary tendency towards making thinner products for discreet value, whilst still flexing gazillion milliliters of (theoretical) absorbency leads to that ratio being lowered, which holds especially true for daytime diapers and pull-ups, but in proper diapers, there's still plenty of pulp to help spread that wetness around, sometimes complemeted with a soaker pad. What actually prevents wetness from spreading rearwards is compression. I.e. as you sit on it with your full weight, the padding is squeezed so tight not a lot of wetness can wick through, and by the way, it affects cloth diapers too (I'm sure you know how wringing works), albeit not as much, so don't act as though cloth diapers are completely exempt from this. For which reason, overabundance of mid-rear padding, specially on pull-ups that aren't really meant for more than one or two wettings, would not improve things all that much, once that front is saturated. By the way, disposables are also stackable (to a point, you get diminishing returns, after three to four layers it's a waste), but since there's a limit of how many booster pads one can insert in a disposable diaper before it renders the leak guards useless and becomes counterproductive, the only option that's left is to cut away part of sufficient area from the outer shell, and replace it with something permeable (here are my instructions on how to do it, for anyone interested), which is time consuming (but so is washing, drying and ironing flats). Your general contempt for disposables, overall attitude of a "glorious cloth diaper wearing master race" and "cloth&plastic über alles" opinions aren't exactly breaking news at this point, but here you're just straight up ignoring facts, or making shit up and presenting it as facts.

Christine, this bit of your post is kinda off topic but I'd like to react. Things don't have personality because they're made in a specific time period, that's just your bias. Things have personality because they're not common production items, i.e. someone has put in extra effort to personalize them. Could most people in the 50s afford to spend the time and money necessary for that, in order to make such a sweeping statement true, that '50s items had personality'? Sure, today, old things that have been intentionally preserved, or custom made to replicate old things that are no longer common, will have personality. Like a 60s Mustang that someone would take out on weekends. That doesn't mean it had personality back in 60s when everyone and their mother had one. Disposable diapers exist for convenience. They were initially meant for travel, but have caught on for reasons that are obvious. Requiring them to have personality makes about as much sense as requiring personality from a vacuum cleaner bag or toilet paper. Printing design on them is mostly a marketing pitch to the parent who is willing to spend extra for something that looks a little less mundane. I'm pretty sure if today parents don't put extra clothes over their kids' diapers, it's got something do with the weather being scorching at the time. Good thing that today, babies' well being is higher on list of priorities than appearing 'classy'. The rest of your post is not related to topic at all.

What things or aspects that exist in the ABDL world do you not engage in, not for lack of interest, but for a specific dislike? I know for many it's messing, and the associated smell and cleanup. So, I used to think I'm purely DL and all AB things were just a turnoff for me, but I was mistaken. I like AB stuff, as long as it's modern AB stuff. I have several bodysuits (onesies), one footed sleeper (diaper-heroes little trucks), plenty of disposable diapers with cute prints, latex free pacis (nuk 5). I use pampers diapers as stuffers, pampers wipes as... wipes. The contemporary stuff. What I specifically dislike the kind of AB stuff that's inspired by actual baby stuff, that would look right on a black-and-white photograph from the 50s. Things that fell out of fashion, or were phased out by the emergence of baby things that are more convenient or just objectively better. Bonnets, clothes with frilly laces everywhere, plastic pants (and other garments) and rubber bedsheets that, if I was forced to wear or sleep on, would probably have me so drenched in sweat that I'd almost feel diapers would become irrelevant, as peeing in a diaper would hardly make any difference than just wetting on myself. I also dislike most of the sissy or girly clothing I've seen from pictures. It's not the idea itself, that can be intriguing or even hot. It's usually the execution. I dislike baby powder. When I was a baby I didn't get to wear the modern pampers diapers, that were the cool new thing to just hit the market after the fall of the iron curtain. I was in the old fashioned cloth flats and plastic covers. So with my contemporary exclusive preference of disposable diapers, I'm not reminiscing. I'm compensating :D. What about you? What are your dislikes, no-noes, turnoffs and no-ways?

I've been mostly DL, but as time progressed, ordinary diapers have gradually become less exciting, and more and more merchandise aimed specifically at ABDLs, like cute print diapers, onesies and such, I've been lured in, bought some onesies, pacis, recently the Little trucks romper from disper-heroes, and I'm loving it. So, now it's like 50-50? I'm not regressing into full infant mental state, more like a 3 yo toddler state.

I certainly think so. Often I realize I should be nicer to my mum. She's had an inexhaustible patience with me. It's not as if I was a particularly bad son. I wasn't getting in trouble or flunked school or anything. But I could have been better. Not raising my voice at her for frivolous things. Refrain from 'mansplaining' to her how to take proper care of her car, or do things on a computer, things that she has no obligation to understand. I'd not even think of talking like that to my grandma or my dad, so why does it not seem as unacceptable with my mom? I don't know. I'm not proud of any of that. My mum knows I'm gay. This one time she made this silly little offhand gay joke, which I kind of put down with a more serious note, prompting her to ask if that means I like boys. I said yes. She shrugged it off with an okay and left it at that. She is an open minded person, although at times can be inapproprietly judgmental, such as the one time when she has had a stay at a hospital, and when I visited her, she told me about this man hospitalized on the same ward, having continence issues, in a condescending manner. I didn't say anything, but thought, that's not very nice, it's not like he was doing it on purpose. My dad divorced my mum and it was, with the best of words, not nice. I sided with my mum, and I still maintain he was in the wrong (more than she was, anyway), but in the end we all got over it. Mum has found herself a partner who can be a bit handful at times, but overall he not a bad person. My dad got married again, he and his second wife have a daughter whom I love very dearly and so does she, I'm her favorite big brother . I also have an older sister, she has her own family now. We're very close. My brother-in-law is a great guy, laid back, not taking himself too seriously, and always witty and jokey. And I love my two neices too. Me and my dad kinda had some disputes over his not-the-most-peaceful divorce with my mum, and what preceeded it, but as I said, we have put that in the past and are now as good as can be. Dad is a skilled tradesman, when he and mum were still together, he was often doing various side jobs to bring some extra money home, jobs that required woodworking and metalworking skills and he would sometimes take me with him, teach me how to work with hand and power tools, or show me around the little workroom we had back home. I take after him in that regard, finding joy in building or repairing various things, fixing things around the house, altough I incline more towards electrical than other crafts. I'm intent on learning how to weld. MIG and TIG are the methods I admire. Dad was a welder, but he only did MMA. I still haven't come out to him. I know full well he's not homophobic. He's expressed more acceptance towards gays than my mum has, actually. Probably something to do with my mum being kinda-sorta christian, whereas my dad is an atheist, same as me. When I was sixteen, he, like outright asked me: "So, what about you and girls, anything going on? Or is it boys?" But that was quite a while ago. I wish I had myself figured out back then. It would have been so much easier. I have this worry that it would disappoint him now, learning I'm gay, not because he sees it as something wrong, but because it's probably not what he had expected of me. I'd always get asked when visiting, how's it going with me, what about girls, I'd usually have nothing to say on that matter, and eventually I'd tell them not to ask me anymore, that I will tell them myself when there was something to tell... and he often talks about kids, how now that since my sister is married and has two daughters, and as he has another daughter, that it's my turn now to keep the patrilineality going. And I just don't know how to tell him that it's probably not going to happen. As for my ABDL side, nobody from my family knows anything. I intend to keep it that way. Some things are just not meant for a discussion at the family table. There's nothing to gain from that.

I like firearms. I like anything mechanical, electronic or both, really, so why should guns be the exception. At the moment I have a 14" barrell pump-action shotgun (Fabarm, made in Italy), and will be buying a pistol soon. Probably a Glock (what else) in 9mm or .357 sig. I didn't really like the design of Glocks, initially, but I've tried a couple and they kinda grew on me. What I don't like is all the bullshit that surrounds it. I've heard enough to last me a lifetime. From the left, how we absolutely positively must have a nanny-state government that makes sure people never get their hands on anything more dangerous than a pencil sharpener or the streets will turn into a constant bloodbath (hint: they won't), and how people in general are not capable of taking care of themselves (they are) and couldn't possibly comprehend how to own and use guns in a safe manner (they can and they do). From the right how any kind of verification to see if you as a person are in fact responsible enough to be owning and handling a firearm is an oppressive tyranny worse than hitler, stalin and pol pot combined (it isn't), and an unacceptable infringement of a God-given right (that's just ridiculous; there's no evidence that god even exists, let alone that he gives a shit about your boomstick), and how in a SHTF situation, any law-abiding-citizen with a gun will save the day (not necessarily). That's why I'm glad that I live in a country where this is not a polarizing issue, where we have a much more rational approach, where we have a legal system in which to own a gun, you need to pass a theoretical exam to prove your knowledge of the law regarding firearms, and a practical exam to prove your capability of operating firearms safely, a system that is not overbearing to people who are actually trustworthy, responsible and just in general have their shit together, and at the same time, with reasonable reliability weeds out the dangerous wannabe vigilantes who think everyone around them is eager for them to come to their 'rescue' with guns blazing, the unstable, aggressive, inferiority complex ridden, with fake machismo brimming troglodytes who'd only get in trouble and hurt people in the process of showing off how much of a 'men' they are, and those whose physical or mental state plain and simply is incompatible with safe possession and operation of firearms. It's different from the bipolar society with its prominent extreme ends, both distinctive by their respective paranoias: - one where according to an imaginary sky-daddy, it doesn't matter if you're absolutely batshit insane, no-one is even allowed to think there might be a problem with you having an arsenal that could arm a battalion at your disposal, because what if one day you find yourself surrounded by liberal neomarxist zombie sharks with freaking lasers who've come to confiscate your guns, force you to have a socialized healthcare and trample on your traditional christian family values by recruiting you to a "homosexual lifestyle" - the other where it doesn't matter how much of a dangerous area you live in, you must not even think obout owning a gun, because guns are basically sentient beings designed strike fear into the hearts of the innocent, and seduce their weilders to turn to the dark side and become bloodthirsty racist trigger-happy psycho ku-klux-klan member gun nuts who will without a doubt eradicate the nearest kindergarten, simply because you can't supress your killer instinct, not at the sight of your evil black fully-semiautomatic tactical assault bottomless 500 round clip .50 bmg caliber long short barrelled compact concealed-carry machine grenade launcher with a folding stock that doubles as an ICBM silo. When there's another mass shooting in USA it will be the same as usual. One side doing candle-light vigils and demanding a sweeping action, other side frothing at their mouths how it's not their fault and something about cold dead hands yadda yadda yadda, more division, less constructive dialogue, and in the end, fuck-all will be done to address and hopefully fix the real issue, so it's only a question of time until it happens again.

All roads lead there. Unless it's one of those other roads that lead somewhere else. Those won't get you anywhere near the place.

I never really minded it, to me it was something that came with the territory. I use nitrile gloves, lots of wet wipes, and a thorough shower, and all is fine. I tend to put it off, not because I dread or hate the process, it's just, at that time I'm usually in such a relaxed state, having rubbed my filled diaper until I've reached climax, and I then I know I have to go get cleaned up eventually, but all I feel like doing is dropping back down on my bed and doing nothing. Which I've done more often than not, and even managed to fall asleep like that, which has certainly not helped making the cleanup any easier. But I regret nothing.

Me too, I like to get most of the peeing out of the way first and poop last, unless I can't help it, which rarely is the case with me. I can stay in a pooped diaper for quite some time, but if I pee afterwards and it's not absorbed in the diaper right away, it rather shortens that time, as those two when combined can get really nasty right quick.

I like them snug. Tight enough to prevent leaks, and to positively make me know I'm wearing it, to make me feel every contour of the diaper, it's thickness and it's contents, if there are any. But not too tight to dig into my thighs, to chaffe, to constrict my legs or make me feel any sort of discomfort.

Diapers are better than toilets when you have that persistent morning wood that makes it darn near impossible to aim into the toilet and not get one drop outside of it. With diapers, that's a non-issue.
