That certainly is good advice. I learned the hard way that it's best to come out to as few people as possible.

I'll go a few days or weeks without wearing them, but never a whole month unless I'm forced to. Regression is necessary for self-care, and depriving myself of it for too long is bad for my mental health.

This happened about 3, maybe 4 years ago. I was in high school, and I had a friend who knew I was into ABDL. We'll call her Avery. I'd told Avery on a few different occasions to never tell anyone. She agreed to, and I trusted her. Then, a new kid at my school, who we'll call Bill, told her that he was into diapers. Specifically, he liked people shitting in them. Bill asked if she knew anyone who was into that, and Avery told him about me. She DM'd me after this happened and asked if it was ok. Naturally, I was pretty angry, and told her that it wasn't. A fight resulted, but we ended up making up. Years later, we had an unrelated falling out, and I don't speak to Avery anymore. Looking back, Avery was an all-around bad friend, from the very beginning. Part of me regrets not ending the friendship right then. But obviously, it's a moot point. I can't do anything about it now. Have any of you experienced anything similar? Tell me about it if you have.

Thank you! I'll look into it!

I see what you're saying. I think a lot of go through that.

It's something many of us experienced. I discovered my AB side at age 17, but before then, I had the tendencies in me, long after it was no longer acceptable to act that way. I used to wet the bed at night, which was entirely unintentional. But before falling asleep, sometimes, I'd pee in my pull-ups. I was also very reluctant to even try to stop. My mom had to basically threaten me out of it. Also, no, I don't think it has anything to do with repressed memories. I think you simply repressed that side of yourself because it becomes socially unacceptable to act like a baby early on.

Thank you!

That all sounds very nice!! I'm glad you're able to do all that uninterrupted!

It has definitely made me happier. I first discovered it at age 17. It's been a rocky journey in the last 4 years, but I'm glad it happened. I've been happier now that I've been able to explore this long-repressed side of myself.

It is possible to go very deep into littlespace. However, the memory loss is definitely unusual. I'd see a professional about this.

I would love to have one! Once I'm moved out of my parents' house, and I have a decent amount of money saved up, I may modify a bed into a crib.

Can I have a link to it?

I haven't had any problems, but everyone's different. It may just take you some extra time.

Does anybody know where I can find hypnosis recordings related to AB/DL? Baby-Pants has them, but their site is so glitchy that I can't add any to the cart and thus can't buy them.

Just whatever you enjoy the most.

It definitely has. Beginning to nurture a neglected side of me has made me a lot happier!

That’s happened to me before. I’ll admit, it freaked me out a little while it happened, but I kept going. I didn’t hold back and I don’t regret it at all!

I see it the same way I see every other kink; keep it private. I don’t believe in involving people in kinks they don’t consent to. I hold the same stance with BDSM and every other fetish. However, I agree that subtly childlike clothes and hidden diapers are ok.

I would, but only for wearing in public.

I usually turn on a kids' show I like, such as The Rugrats or Spongebob Squarepants. It provides a nice distraction from adult thoughts.

Did she get in any legal trouble for it?

Yes, but it was always vague. My mom hated explaining anything to me and would only briefly tell me why she thought hitting me was appropriate. I quite often heard “Because I said so”. Generally, she’d say what it was for, but never bothered to tell me why it was wrong. She wanted displeasing her to be the only reason for not doing bad things, but of course that rarely worked. Either way, I think there’s very little a child could do to deserve a beating, especially when they’re not even a teen yet. It’s frankly pretty disturbing how many people there are in here saying how glad they were their parents used to hit them. I don’t know what goes on in someone’s mind that makes them think they’re so horrible they deserve to be hit. It’s especially ridiculous if it’s for doing something violent, and frankly hypocritical. It’s basically saying the parent is free to be violent but the kid is not.

I’d love to make some AB/DL friends myself. I have 1 online friend in the lifestyle and none IRL.

It really is. It's so common to falsely equate it with pedophilia. And even people who don't do that overall see it as bizarre, which is understandable.

That's horrible! I am so sorry that happened to you!
