gee baby

Actually, FetLife is working out pretty good for me too. It is mostly used to find events. It was pretty quiet until a famous Mommy posted to a pic of mine on FetLife, and before I know it, because she is followed closely, I got lots of friends requests and PMs, where before I got none. Most were find and honest, some were very strange and ignored. Over all, it has its good and bad. Take advantage of the good, ignore the bad. I agree, there sure are some strange characters there, but also some honest and good folks. Don't let a few sour apples ruin it for you.

I didn’t learn that I was not alone until I was 60!!! I’m 62 now and loving it, because this part of myself that I have been ashamed of is now a shared and open part of my life. Hard to hide with a high chair in dining room and full nursery with no door. What surprised me is acceptance from family and friends. I was petrified about anyone discovering this part of myself, only to discover open minded people are going to be accepting to something that makes you happy, and the others folks, who cares. i agree about going to events to meet others of same inclination. I purchased ticket to FetCamp for July, reserving space in the little’s cabin. Will be my first. CapCon I missed because tickets go fast, TeddyCon too. I have to fly to these events, but I think worth it. Meeting others and making friends in this community will help ones own acceptance of self.

Wow, I am pretty impressed with everyone else’s nurseries! They’re all wonderful places to be little!!! Really makes a difference to declare a space in the house for the baby side. The nursery pics look wonderful! Thanks everyone for sharing!

I can’t be only AB in area (apex on Cary side)!!! I have full nursery and playroom for sharing, and patios and free ipa beer available! But more importantly, a desire to meet those who don’t judge this as abnormal! Going to Fetcamp this July, do I have to fly to Massachusetts to meet folks that share this interest! Where are you NC people!!!

Last week I got the person who built my AB crib and changing table for this nursery to do a matching playpen. He has never done one, but agreed to do a 6x6 foot playpen with the floor being the same as the top of the changing table. The sides will be 48 inches (4 feet) instead of the 30 inches I have now, which means no stepping over the playpen which I can do now. A door will be added that you have to crawl into the playpen. I'm super psyched about it. Don't know when it will be completed and I'm sure the shipping is going to cost a fortune, but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I'll post pics as soon as it is completed and I setup.

I just wore Tykables overnight last night (medium) and not too impressed. I do like the tape idea, but it is not that secure. I've really enjoyed NorthShore Care MegaMax. I actually wear their "small", which surprises me, for a 31" waist. But fits really nice and talk about absorbent! And the tapes are awesome and the price is not bad compared to other products aimed at high absorbency. First diaper that "small" fits me very well, so the larger sizes might surprise you. I've heard comments about NorthShore Care products seemed to be oversized, but it seems to me their recommended waist sizes are correct. Medium is larger than the medium I usually wear. Take their word for it and don't try to second guess. By the way, I don't think tykables "overnights" are all that absorbent or thick, at least it didn't measure up to what I was looking for. I try every diaper brand I can find, looking for thickest and best fitting. I also wear a cloth diaper and plastic pants over the disposable to ensure leaks are "safe". Oh, and I do love being thickly padded, so that has something to do with it. So my opinion is somewhat negated due to my usual diapering setup. Take it for what it's worth. But by all means, experiment and try new brands and don't get locked into one. You never know what you might be missing.

I started as a flooder, especially at the beginning when I found it so hard to let the bladder go in a prone position. However, over time, with diaper confidence and the acceptance of wetting myself, it has become the slightest urge will cause a wetting. It all really depends on your comfort level and acceptance of your diapered condition. Since I'm not a 24/7 person and have no desire to be incontinent (I want my bladder control), as soon as I'm diapered I wet a lot more often, standing, laying, playing, no matter what. But this took time and acceptance. I love how this evolved over time and how my wetting characteristics changed on condition on whether I'm diapered or not. I don't worry about incontinent issues, it is purely for enjoyment. My respects to those who are truly incontinent and who can turn it into something they can enjoy.

I have just started using FetLife and I find it very helpful for finding events. Of course, I found someone who is an experienced FetLife user and helped guide me, or else I would have been lost. The best events may not be in your area, but I'm willing to travel. I understand it is a mind field of good and bad. I would definitely recommend using it, but good luck with it. It has its up and down sides.

I bought 3 inch balls to make playpen a ball pit. It was 500 balls and it didn't cut it. So I ordered 600 more, which was more like it. The 1st pic I show here is 1,100 balls, but still, I wanted to swim in it. So got another 600 balls for 1,700! Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure now it will be enough. I took a pic of the guest bathroom tub holding the 1,700 3 inch balls. My plumber replaced all my water pipes except for guest tub/shower (didn't want him cutting in my new kitchen back splash). So he turned the water off and it became the ball storage tub. Use the master shower! I wasn't sure how I would like the ball pit idea, but it really turned out to be a blast, especially when you can "submerge" in it!

What? Would I deny what I am? No way. I would never give up this if given a chance. Please, accept what you are and stop wishing for something else. I'm sorry, I was meant to be diapered and loving it. It is what I am. I do not wish it was something I could give up. I don't wish for something else, this is perfect. Diapered and cribbed, babied and enjoying my condition and accepting nothing else. Call me what ever you will, I'm perfectly happy with my "condition' and I wish others could find something that makes them feal as good. Let it be. it is okay to be diapered and loving it. I do, and so do so many others. Stop feeling so freaked about it, accept what you are and to hell with the society definition of norm. You are what you are and that is okay. Your fine. Accept it.

My Mother was an alcoholic mainly due to depression. I have several friends who suffer from it, one getting shock therapy and swearing it works, the drugs just didn’t work and caused extreme behavior. None of these folks are AB/DL. I don’t think there is a connection, but no expert. I’m AB and no depression. I would think that if I did have depression, AB/DL would help, but again, how would I know. People with depression really are hurting. I wish there was an easy answer.

Last word I got from her she is not really able to hold a session at this time. I would suggest sending her a query email first about availability.

Okay, I just bought one 10 pack small (31 inch waist), to try these out. Are you sure you’re not a Northstar employee?

LOL, That actually was hilarious, whether pun intended or not!

I’m sorry if AB/DL is uncomfortable and apologize if anything I say seems to dismiss that feeling. I’ve shared it in the past, just wonder now why I was so concerned? 20 years ago I felt very ashamed of this, in my mind, perverted desire. I would have given it up because I was really scared of discovery and was totally embarrassed about how I didn’t fit what I thought was the acceptable. Now I regret I ever felt that way. What I desire is normal for me and anything that makes me glad to be alive is a good thing. Well, at least as long it does not harm me or anyone else. I’m not passing judgement, everyone should treat their feelings and desires as they wish and I can only wish everyone success in attaining their happiness goals, whatever they are.
