My name is sidewinder, I am currently 33, (though I'll be 34 as of this august) and I've been a DL since the days of my youth.
I also have many hobbies and interests that I'm really passionate about, such as art, history, philosophy, and music, to name a few.
I share your interests in history, philosophy and music! It's good to see that there are others on here with similar hobbies and passions. There's almost certainly more many of us have in common than our AB/DL side.

I was in bed for 2 weeks, but I've been up again for the past few days. Just sitting around to start with, but for the past 3 days I've been well enough to want to start doing things. I even mowed the lawn on Thursday.
I'm really pleased to hear that you're starting to feel better; it must have been a scary time. I gather that it takes a while to fully recover, so I hope you're able to take things a little easier for a while. I'm sure you'll be back down the pub in now time! (Once the re-open of course… I'm missing my local!)

Velcro nappies from the Dotty Diaper Company during the day (UK-based). They're out of stock in my size just now (white medium), but they're getting more in once Covid's out of the way. They're fairly bulky, but very comfortable and very absorbent. Beware of colours running if you're tempted by the coloured ones!
I've got a terry nappy square from Cosy 'n' Dry, but I struggle with the Chinese fold. I'm told it's the most absorbent through, so I should keep practicing!
I tried one of the velcro nappies from the Dotty Diaper Company, but I found the sizing didn't quite work for me. It's a shame, as it really is lovely and soft. It's fine at the waist, but I find it has a really short rise, and so barely covers what it needs to. As others seem to enjoy them though, I wonder if mine had a manufacturing issue? It's the large size, but only 28 inches from front to back. I could just be an odd shape though!
Take care and all the best for your continued recovery.

Have met and write several others often here sharing our "diaper" experiences.
I really appreciate the opportunity this forum gives us to come together and share our stories and our insights. I often find it quite lonely being an adult baby and I'm just so grateful that the forum exists; it really helps. :-)

I have so many days like that! Adult life really gets in the way…

It works for me - never been happier!
I'm so pleased that you've found what works for you; that sounds amazing! What sort of nappies do you use? On my 'nappy days', I tend to change a little more often, but I often suspect I could push the nappies a bit further.
Keep well, and stay happy!

I spent the afternoon very, very wet, which was lovely, and now my evening nappy is getting quite wet too!?

Hi Frankfurter!
I might be a bit too shy for video chat, but yes, something like that. I thought it would be a good idea for us all to support each other through what is a difficult time for everyone.
For some people, I guess the lockdown means more opportunities to be in nappies, but for others it might mean no time alone, and no possibility of expressing their adult baby side.
I'm in the 'stay at home for 12 weeks' group, and given a few long standing health issues, I'm taking the advice seriously.
Big Hugs!

I'll try to get round to scanning & posting them when I'm feeling a bit better, it anyone's interested.
Sorry to hear that you've not been well, and I hope you're now on the path to recovery.

Hi Stroller,
I'd be really keen to see more of these if the moderators are happy with it. It's amazing to think how much technology has changed since these were produced! It would be wonderful to see some of our community's heritage!
Stay happy in your nappy!

Hi All,
I'm not sure whether or not this is the right place to do this, but I just wanted to check in with everyone to see how you're all doing during the lockdown? I hope you're all keeping safe and well.
Would any UK adult babies be interested in arranging a web chat one evening? It might be a good way to people to connect during this difficult time.
I hope you're all OK.
Take care,
Baby Richie

I used to put my nappy on whilst standing up, often leaning against the door or the wardrobe, but these days I tend to change lying down. I just find is more comfortable and 'natural'. It's not the same as having someone else change me of course, but I prefer to at leat be in the right position!

Hi Chris! I'm in the UK too, and it took me a long time to work up the courage to join the forum. I never seem to be able to spend as much time here as I would like to, but I think many people are finding they've got a bit more spare time at the moment. I hope you're keeping safe and well. This is a great community, with wonderful people, so I'm sure you'll really enjoy your time here.
Take care,
Baby R

Hi Kimmie!
Alas I don't have anyone to change me or tease me, but I do like to wear terry nappies whenever I can! I have a couple of large terry squares, although I never feel I can fold them quite right, and a few shaped cloth nappies to. I also like disposables, especially the thicker adult baby ones, but I have terries for a treat!
Welcome to this wonderful community!

Hi lancerevolover,
I joined this forum for much the same reason; I was tired with having to keep what feels like an incredibly important part of me so hidden and private. I still do in the 'real' world, but I'm really grateful for the chance to connect with others here. Sorry to hear that the current situation means you're not able to get time alone. This is a challenging time right across the world. Stay safe and well!

Absolutely! One of the things that I find so wonderful about this community is how friendly and welcoming everyone is, so welcome Annabelle! I hope you have a lovely time here.

Hello!
I just wanted to let you know that you'll find lots of wonderful people here on the forums. I'm not as active as I'd like to be, but the people are wonderful!
Viel Spaß und bis später!

Hi All,
I haven't been very active on this site recently, but taking the opportunity to catch-up!
I'm in Wiltshire and would love to chat or arrange a group meeting, once the restrictions have been lifted of course…
I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. ?

I work in the UK media and out of all of the hundreds of images that came in from Saturday’s Pride March in London (and other events around the country) there was only one photo that featured three people (two males dressed as little girls & one guy in dungarees sucking a dummy) wearing nappies.
Perhaps they were just the obvious ones and others hid the fact.
Interesting to learn that there were three there though. I really wouldn't have expected that.

My first reaction is a big firm NO. I don't want Pride, which is already starting to struggle with an identity problem (ironically enough), co-opted by other groups because it is either fashionable to do so or because they want to use it as a way of trying to legitimise themselves. There has been a problem recently of paedophiles trying to get themselves under the LGBT banner for instance, TERFs have also used Pride for a political and hateful agenda. I don't want ABDLs, furries or any other group of fetishists coming in and using Pride to push themselves. Pride is very specifically about LGBT people and it is an enormously helpful outlet for us who otherwise can be discriminated and abused on a daily basis.
However... I also like the idea of Pride being a place where people can express themselves. I like the idea that it is a judgement free zone (as long as you aren't judging others) and you can be whoever you are. That would mean pet play, rubber fetishes and everything else.
So the answer is... I don't know. Whenever I see pictures of people openly wearing diapers or similar things at places like this my first instinct is to cringe and roll my eyes. I have a natural aversion to people putting the spotlight on themselves in public like that. Pride is supposed to be all about the LGBT community and the problems they face, anything that takes attention away from that message is a detriment.
I think I share your confusion! I completely agree that it would be wrong to try and get involved with Pride without serious discussion with the organisers and I wouldn't want to take focus of the real purpose of the event. I also want to acknowledge the discrimination and struggles that the LGBT community sadly still face, and to respect the importance of the Pride events to both celebrate the progress that has been made, and to ensure that the fight for respect goes on.
Perhaps there should be a separate event, a sort of 'fetish' (not keen on that term…) version of Pride? Possibly not a parade, but an event where people can gather to celebrate the different ways that we can all express themselves in a non-judgemental environment.

Having marched in this years London Pride I can say there were huge varieties in the people there. I saw leather, bear, trans. puppies, bondage, furries and all sorts of others but not a single DL. I have to assume they were there but probably not openly I'm afraid. I wish it could happen but sadly the community still seems to look down on us, mainly due to lack of information/education and the fact that there is almost nobody who will openly admit to being an AB/DL and take the lead to bring others out.
Yes, I think that lack of information and education about AB/DL is a real problem for us. It seems a shame that we're not more visible. I wish that I were braver, and that I had been braver in the past. It isn't easy having to hide away what feels like an important part of who I am. I spent so many years feeling ashamed and disgusted with myself and it's hard to wipe all that away.
I remember many years ago I was with a few of my friends and, for some reason, the conversation turned to 'alternative' sexual practices. One of my closest friends, someone who I know to be very open-minded and inclusive, said that she could put up with most things but really couldn't stand adult babies. She'd seen them on some TV programme and thought they were "perverts and paedophiles". I didn't say anything. I didn't stand up for our community and myself and point out that ABs and DLs are no more likely to be paedophiles than the anyone in the general population, and, given that a lot of us have suffered our own traumas, probably less likely. I even went as far as denying that I'd ever heard of this "fetish", but it left me hurt and reeling. I deeply regret that I didn't stick up for myself and us. I would never let that happen now.
Up to that point, I honestly thought that she would have been someone I could have confided in, and it really closed me off for a few years as I just hated the thought that people would judge me that way. Now that I'm older (chronologically speaking anyway!), I refuse to feel ashamed anymore.
Perhaps a group of us should talk to the organisers of some of the Pride events and see whether they would be open to having us along? I guess educating people has to start somewhere.

Hi All,
I noticed that it's been the Pride events this weekend, and I wondered whether AB/DLs would be welcome at these events, or whether we're not considered part of the LGBTQ+ community. I'd be interested to know your thoughts.
I wouldn't want to offend anyone, but I sometimes wonder if we're in the same position that LGBTQ+ people were in the past, that is, still seen as, at best, an oddity and, at worst, somehow sick & twisted, and worthy of little more than a beating. I know that the improved situation for the LGBTQ+ has come about because of the determination and commitment of those communities and their refusal to let society make them feel ashamed simply for being who they really are.
I look forward to the day when all forms of intimacy between consenting adults, both sexual and non-sexual, and all forms of expressing our true, diverse and complex selves will be welcomed and celebrated. ?️?

Hi Rebecca,
Welcome to DD! I'm still consider myself relatively new here, and I never get as much time to post on here as I would like, but you'll find this a safe, welcoming and wonderful place to be. There are lots of ways to explore your little side, and everyone seems to have their own way of getting in to little space. I'm also looking for events in the UK, but I haven't made it along to any so far… It's something I really want to do though!

Hi Weggley,
Welcome to the wonderful world of the DailyDiapers forums! I'm still (relatively) new here, but there's quite a few members from the UK, and it's great to be part of the worldwide community too. I've found this to be a wonderful place, and I'm sure you will too.

I'm Richie, and I live in Wiltshire. Hello everyone!
Adult baby men with beards
in Baby Talk
Posted
Although I hate having hair on my body (and, sadly, I have a lot of hair on my body…), I do have a beard at the moment. I let it grow because I wanted to see what it would be like before I went too grey, but it seems to suit me, and friends and family encouraged me to keep it. I don't think it interferes with little space, but I do find it incongruous that I want to be a baby and that I quite like having a beard!
