Hello Everyone, Thanks so much to all those who took the time to reply to this topic; I really appreciate your input! I'm so sorry that it's taken me an eternity to respond here; things have just been so hectic; I haven't know whether I'm coming or going for months now… Hopefully things will calm down soon, and I'll be able to find some stories that would work well in translation. If it isn't possible to contact the authors, I'll post everything here with a clear disclaimer that the story is a translation not an original, and link to the original. Thanks again!

Yeah! I think it looks fantastic too, and I'm so please to hear that it is! I can't wait! How many more sleeps to LBL?! Hope to meet some of you there. :-)

Hi Wetste, Thanks so much for sharing this information; that's really helpful! LBL sounds like a wonderful event, and I am certainly planning to attend. Like you, I've been a little since I was actually little, but I've always kept this very hidden, and never shared it with anyone. I'm generally quite a shy person, so it's good to know that there's a friendly welcome and trusted people to show me around. I've just got to the stage where I don't want to have to hide this important part of who I am away from everyone, and I would love to meet other people who would understand, and, hopefully, make some new friends. Thanks also for the information on the other events, which do sound interesting too. :-) I will follow your advice though, and start off with LBL. You are indeed very luck to have a mummy! I'm not (yet) on Telegram, but I'll PM you once I get set up with it, as it would be good to make a few introductions before attending the event. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Hi, No need to apologise; it's great to have people want to join in the conversation! I'm keen to learn all that I can about LBL so that I can make sure that it's the right sort of event for me, and so that I know what to expect when I get there. If you felt able to share your impressions of it, and especially how you found it when you first went along, that would be really helpful. What's the Pick 'n' Mix? Is that a follow-on event, or something separate? Thanks for getting in touch!

I've just shaved "down there" for the first time! I've probably not done the best job, but it's something I've wanted to try now, so I thought I'd I've it a go. I wasn't able to get everywhere, but I'm pleased with the way things are looking now. I'm not sure how I'll feel when I start to itch, but at least I can have the experience!

Hi Nappygirl97, Yes! I'm an AB and I live in Wiltshire! I'm in the North of the county, and have always wondered whether there were any others like me in the area. If there's enough of us, perhaps we should pick somewhere central and organise a munch/social meet-up.

Hi Frankenfurter, Thanks for your reply, and I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you; I can't believe it's been almost two months! Work and family commitments have kept me pretty busy over the last few months, but things should be back to a more normal level now. If your kind offer still stands, I'd love an invite to Fetlife. I think there's an event coming up in Birmingham this summer that I'd be keen to go to, so it would be great to get on Fetlife and find the details. I'll send you a PM. Thanks again!

I prefer the word nappy, but I always thought that was just because it's what we call them over here. Perhaps there's more to it though! :-) Hello Jayney, I'm UK-based, and still think of myself as being new here. I'm sure you'll like it here; I've found everyone to be very friendly, and I find it great having somewhere where I can be the real me. Take care, Baby R

Hi, Yes, do let me know if the Winchester one restarts, as that would probably be manageable. I'd be keen to start a munch in my area if there's any demand, but I need to go to a few first and see what happens, and what's involved in organising an event. I really must sign up to Fetlife! Thanks again.

Hi, Are these still available? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, If it's something that people would be interested in, I'd be happy to translate some stories from the web in to English. However, in most cases, I don't seem to be able to find out who the original author is, and so I can't find a way of contacting them to ask for permission both to translate the stories and to post them here. In that case, what's the view on whether or not it's appropriate to translate and post? I don't want to take someone else's work and either pass it off as my own or use in ways that wouldn't be happy with, but in a lot of cases the stories seem very old, and have been around online for a long time, so they do seem to have been somewhat abandoned by their original creators. I just wanted to check what the view was on this before posting anything. Thanks everyone. Love and Hugs, Baby R

Yes, it's still a distinction I'm struggling with. As a strongly regressive AB, I think I just thought that this was what everyone was thinking and feeling when in little space. Even now, I don't think I really know what an age-player is thinking and feeling, but I am at least now aware that there's a difference! I really enjoyed your books, and I can't recommend it highly enough to everyone else here. I remember those sorts of commercials too, and always wished that I was one of the babies. I'm so sorry to hear that your mother wasn't more sympathetic and understanding and that this left you feeling embarrassed and ashamed. That must have been very difficult for you. I think those of us with this side to our personalities all carry some shame around with us, but it must have been even worse to have had that reinforced by your mother.

Hi Rosalie! I wanted to reply as I'm reading "Adult Babies: Psychology and Practices" at the moment, and I'm finding it really helpful! I'm still a little fuzzy on the difference between regressive and age/role players, but I suspect that's because I'm so regressive, that I just assumed age play was the same thing! Yes, it is sad that we live in a world where adult babies can be so misjudged by many people. I hope that one day, and with the help of books like yours, people will understand us better, and not assume the worst about us.

Hi Frankenfurter, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your post. I've had some health problems over the last few months which have kept me offline for much of the time, but I'm happy to say I'm on the mend now. Yes, a casual munch seems like a good place to start. I could possibly get to London one Friday evening, but do let me know if the Winchester one starts up again, as I'd be interested in attending that one. Is there a list of AB munches online anywhere? I don't mind a bit of travelling really. Again, so sorry for my delay in replying, and thanks for your advice and the helpful information. BRxx

I've been posting a lot in the Newbie Nursery. As I'm still new myself, it feels like that's the place I should be having most of my conversations at the moment, but perhaps I'm overdoing it. I also tend to feel the need to reply to posts in a thread I started. I've never really interacted online before, so apologies if that's the wrong thing to do! Back to the topic, I would say the difficulty of getting hold of ABDL diapers in the UK (not all brands available) is my personal peeve. I just want to try them all!

It seems this is quite a common experience for many of us! I was starting to get a bit better at acting like I wasn't interested as I got older, or at least, I think I did! I suspect the act still wasn't that convincing! I remember when I first found nappies in large sizes; it was a life-changing experience!

I don't get to wear as often as I would like too. I wish I could wear more often, but space to store supplies, and opportunities to be alone and certain no-one is going to drop by are few and far between. Don't get me wrong, I like being sociable and I like having people over, but I don't think anyone would want to see me in my nappy and onesie drinking from a bottle! I'd like to be more in balance and spend more time in little space, so that's something I'd like to work on.

Pleasure to meet you too! I'm new here, and I can tell you this is a great place to be! Enjoy!

Welcome Ely! I'm new to this community, and to any kind of social networking to be honest, but I've been AB forever… There's lots of information here about what people like, what works to create 'little headspace' and what doesn't, so I'm sure you'll find the information you need. I guess the only way to see if this is for you is to try it. There's a huge variety within AB/DL and there's a good chance that some if it will appeal to you.

Welcome Lilly! I'm new here too, but I can assure you that this is a great place to be! I've tried writing a few stories, but they never seem to come out as I hoped they would, so looking forward to reading some of yours and perhaps picking up a few tips! Enjoy your time here!

Thanks! :-) Yes, I can well understand that this would be a tricky area and I don't want to risk anything unsuitable being posted here. When I started this thread I was just interested to find out about whether other people had similar memories to me about these sorts of commercials, and members have been really generous in contributing their thoughts and experiences, so it would be great to keep this thread open and to keep the discussion going. Thanks again for your help and advice; it's really appreciated!

Thanks for your message. Yes, that's a very sensible policy; I completely understand. Although that commercial didn't feature any minors, I've removed the link anyway, as I think it's probably best to avoid posting link to videos on this thread, and just keep it to discussion. I hope that's OK with everyone. I'm so sorry if I've offended anyone. I'm new here and still finding my feet, but message received and understood. Thanks again for clarifying.

Thanks so much for the links. It looks interesting, although perhaps pitched at a slightly older play age. Would this be a good place to start though? I wasn't free this weekend, but I hope you had a great time if were able to make it along. Thanks also for the further information about regressive littles and role-play littles. I would say that I long to be a regressive little, but I think this has to start off with role-play as a way to ease myself in to it. I've had that 'full' regressive experience a few times, and it was just wonderful!

Being a baby IS the greatest thing in the history of ever! I know what you mean though; those commercials always caused such strong emotions in me. I think I liked the commercials because I already knew I wanted to be a baby, but I'm sure they helped to shape some of the specific details around what exactly it means to be treated like a baby though. I'm sure my family must have noticed. I suspect my attempts to hide my embarrassment probably only served to make it all the more obvious and probably meant that they were looking at me! My heart would just skip a beat whenever nappy adverts came on and it's amazing to think how I somehow already knew that I wasn't supposed to be enjoying them… Yes, it really is. There's a pretty good selection on there, but I guess anything dating back to before VCRs were common is going to be very hard to source. Perhaps the manufacturers or advertising companies could be persuaded to upload them? We should also appeal here: If anyone has any commercials on tape that aren't currently on YouTube, it would be great if they could upload them for everyone else to enjoy. I don't think we ever had Kimbies in the UK, but they sound great. Is there any information on them anywhere? I've had a quick look, and I can't find that commercial, but it seems like this one might have been from a similar campaign? EDIT: Link removed. I've just thought… I should have checked first. Is it OK to post links to YouTube here? If not, please just let me know.

Welcome Happy Pooper! I'm still very new here, but I just wanted to say hello! This is a great place; I'm loving it so far, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun! It's good to meet you, and I love your username.
