Everything! The look, the feel, the sound! They just bring this amazing sense of security and comfort and they help me feel like I have no adult responsibilities (even just for a little bit).

I only wear occasionally and only at home. During the summer, gotta have air conditioning!

Something that really helped me was coming to accept it about myself. I used to really struggle with feeling guilty or ashamed for wearing diapers. But when I could honestly tell myself that I was okay with it, knowing that it is likely never going to change or go away (and that it doesn’t hurt anybody), it helped me a great deal. Do I still feel a little weird about it from time to time? Absolutely, but I just kinda laugh it off and put a diaper on anyway.

Single tapes are really cool, like the ABU Kiddos! I will say, though, that they do end up feeling really loose through the legs, which makes sense. I’d say I definitely prefer two tapes because of fit.

I love Tykables, but ever since they redesigned everything to the Waddle Cut, I find myself now somewhere oddly in between their medium and large sizes. I’m a size 36 waist, but the mediums are just a little bit tight for me, through the legs. The larges have so much extra material, which honestly can be kinda fun in little space to feel like I’m trying to move up to the next size diaper, but I’m still a little too small. The previous model of Overnights were my favorite diaper, hands down.

Just for the sake of clarity: I don’t wear too often, and most of the time when I do, I don’t use them. This stretches out my time for wearing them pretty significantly (I can typically wear one diaper 3-4 times for about an hour or so each time over the course of a week or two). So for me, diapers absolutely are a once in a while thing, so I feel I get my money’s worth even at the $4/per diaper break down. I’m sure that’s not the case for most here, and frankly, if I was an every day wearer, I’m sure I’d go with a more fiscally responsible diaper.

I’ve been a huge fan of Tykables diapers for a long time - especially since they went to the hybrid “hook and loop” style Velcro tapes. I’d been wanting to try out ABU’s DinoRawrz for some time and I gotta say I really enjoy them so far. The fit is much better for me. I fall somewhere in between Tykables Medium and Large sizes, but the Large size for ABU is almost perfect! What do you all think? What are your favorite diapers with the hook & loop style tapes? I tend to prefer them over the typical plastic tapes because I don’t use my diapers very often. I like to just wear them.

Spent some time searching for it (Google, YouTube), to no avail...

This is, generally, how I wear diapers. I can wear one diaper a few times for a couple hours each time over the course of 2-3 days before the padding starts to bunch up and break down. Once it gets to that point I’ll either just throw it away or I’ll wet it and throw it away provided the padding isn’t too broken down to prevent any leaks. I use Tykables almost exclusively as I don’t get too many opportunities to wear (my wife prefers that I not wear around her). But they’re great in terms of the amount of padding and the tapes allow for re-fastening as needed!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

THANK YOU! I don’t know why I was allowing myself to get so discouraged by these people who clearly don’t understand how marriage works.

I’m sorry that your experience hasn’t been great so far. I recently made a post where several people proceeded to insult me because I’m married to a vanilla woman who doesn’t want to participate in my ABDL side, but allows me to from time to time. It’s incredibly frustrating that people seem to lack the simple understanding that we’re all different and there is no one prescription for how to go through life as someone who enjoys wearing diapers or age play or whatever it is. How hard is it to just be nice? In these forums, a little harder than you’d expect.

Good for you Guess that makes me not a “true man,” huh?

I miss the previous version of Tykables Overnights. Since they updated them with the “Waddle cut,” I can’t wear the medium size without the leg elastics being so tight around my thighs.

Different strokes for different folks. I’m glad you and your wife enjoyed diapers in your marriage. My wife does not, and finding any compromise with her is a win for me. A number of years ago she worked doing at home care for the elderly and had a very bad experience with an old man. Don’t assume you know the prescription for everyone when you don’t know people personally.

Just want to echo many others in here - Tykables diapers are GREAT! So soft and comfy and crinkly. They have cute designs, too, that I think could pass for a generic brand of baby diapers.

That’s really tough, and I’m sorry you’re struggling with it. I’m also married, but my wife is not as accepting of my DL side - I only wear around her on special occasions and then I wear anytime she’s not home. I will say that something that helped me was coming to terms with this weird thing about myself - that I like to wear diapers. I don’t wear much more than a few times a month. But ultimately, I’ve accepted that this is something that has been with me since childhood and it’s likely not something that will ever go away. But that doesn’t have to feel like a negative thing, especially when you have someone in your life that who knows about it and accepts, or in your case even encourages it. I wish my wife was more willing to get involved with my diaper time and would be okay with me having more of it with her around. You’re very lucky!

I wear infrequently, and as a result, I try to make my diapers last. I’ll wear one diaper 3 or 4 times before I finally use it. This really only works with bulkier, higher capacity diapers, I use Tykables (Overnights and Little Rawrs). Once the diapers starts bunching significantly, I’ll pee in it and then toss it.

I’m married to someone who isn’t into ABDL at all. Marriage is about compromises. Out of love and respect for my wife I only wear them as we’ve agreed upon. It’s not that difficult. Good for you

Thanks, friend! Yeah, I think I lost sight of the fact of how understanding she really is and the reality that she would almost expect to come home to find me wearing if she hasn’t told me when she would arriving. Good perspective!

Thank you for this! Some great thoughts that I’ve had to work through, myself! First that I recognized the problematic sexuality involved (primarily when I was single). Over the last handful of years, I have, very gratefully, seen that aspect of it fading. I think in large part to not looking at any kind of pornography for over 5 and a half years! I’ve often felt (and been curious to know) that there are a lot of Christians within the ABDL community. My wife is the only person who knows that I’m ABDL, but I’m not sure I could ever tell any other close friends about this aspect of my life.

Not a bad idea, but, we don’t have the room for it - and we have family that lives very close by and is over often.

YouVersion is a great Bible App that has tons of different translations to pick from - I prefer the HCSB and the ESV. They also have hundreds of devotionals and Bible reading plans. I’m currently going through The Bible Project’s reading plan for reading through the whole Bible in a year. It’s great. If you’re not familiar with The Bible Project, I would highly recommend them. They make videos explaining various themes and also books of the Bible.

So I’m married and my wife really only let’s me wear diapers around her for special occasions (birthday, etc.). Earlier in the year when everything started getting crazy with the pandemic, I was getting super stressed with my job (I work in the food service industry, and thus was considered essential). I asked her if she would let me wear every now and then. She said no, but she did say I could wear any time she wasn’t home. Fast forward to a few days ago. I got home after a morning shift and wanted to take a nap. She texted me to let me know that she was out running errands and that I should text her whenever I got up from my nap - sweet, few things are greater than a diapered nap! So I put on a Tykables Little Rawrs, and get in bed, but cannot fall asleep. Almost 2 hours go by, and I have another 30 minutes before my alarm is set to go off. I realize part of why I can’t sleep is because I have to pee, but I use my diapers sparingly so that they’ll last longer. I get up and take a few steps toward the door, and suddenly it opens! My wife stops, and I fall into a kind of squatting position and attempt to cover my diaper (yeah right, lol), and she turned around and closed the door. Frantically, I take the diaper off, fold it, and put it away. I walk out to our living room and apologize, thinking she’s going to be kind of upset with me, only for her to say, “I told you that you could wear when I wasn’t home, it’s okay!” I am a blessed man, indeed! Anyone else have a similar story?

Oh yes, lots of diaper dreams over the years. Most involve my wife surprising me with diapers or being very close to putting me in a diaper (she doesn’t participate when I wear, but is okay with me wearing). Certainly no surprise, there. I would very much like for her to diaper me in real life, even just once to see what it’s like (for both of us). I’ve asked her a few times, but I’ve basically given up asking because I know where she stands with it, and besides, I only want her to do it if she wants to - or because she knows how much it means to me and is okay with it.
