AutieAB

Did they really though? IMO, the only negatives that they managed to portray were that it must be hard to buy clothes that cover diapers which is bogus (although admittedly a little bit more of an issue for girls than boys who can get away with baggy jeans every time) and that relationships are a bit more awkward than usual. The latter point is valid. You only have to spend a while on any given ABDL forum to see tales of frustration, disappointment and sometimes heartbreak over partners' reactions but it's still not a real 'addiction-level' type of issue because firstly, there's somebody for everybody who wants a somebody, even if that person loves wearing diapers and secondly, even the most vanilla relationship has a 'discovery and revelation' period where you lay your innermost secrets bare. With the right person, this is just another thing to fess up, nothing more... Other than that, I really don't think they managed to portray any part of ABism in general or what Riley did specifically as negative (although I suspect they tried )

There is no way in hell you'd be sectioned for liking diapers. For starters, as Abrera said, you have to be a danger to self/others and secondly, community mental health teams in the UK very rarely get off their collective arses and act even when they're desperately needed. I've heard enough first-hand stories over the years to know that they just don't take sectioning people lightly these days. You need to be absolutely f'ing do-lally, preferably running naked along the highstreet while arguing with your imaginary rabbit friend Bob about why everybody has to die before they'll do anything of the sort.... (In case it doesn't come across, this post is laced with sarcasm, cynicism and dose of gallows humour ) Anyway, if you're not wearing diapers constantly, any rash should clear up in a day or so. If it doesn't, well you just gonna have to swallow it and go to the Dr. There's no reason why your mother would have to find out...

This came from something posted in this thread but I think that what the OP in that thread was getting at might be something different so I'm starting a new one... I don't know about other people but after a few hours, especially during the day, the side panels of my diapers tend to slip around and move forwards and bunch up around the groin area which can be kinda uncomfortable, especially because it can leave the edges of the lower tapes in such position that they can dig into the top of your thigh when you sit down or bend over. It happens with just about every diaper I've ever used - I guess it's a product of plastic outer covers, there's not much friction between the front and rear side panels where they overlap. So I got some toddler pullups with those blue tear-away velcro hook sides, cut them off and stuck them to the outside edges of front side panels of a diaper. I used a school glue stick first, which did work but took ages to set. I think spray mount would be better and probably stronger. Anyway, I wore it all last night and most of this morning (including some driving and plenty of walking about) and the side panels stayed put throughout No pinching tapes, no uncomfortable bunched up bits. Also, once I opened all four tapes, the diaper stayed put because the added velcro effect so it might work as extra security in case of popping tapes, too. Here are two pics: It's such a simple fix and makes the diaper stay put a lot better, why have none of the manufacturers done something similar? I'm gonna try it out with a Dry24/7 in a while - they're so big on me that slipping sides is always a problem...

Found this on Riley's twitter thingy: http://www.prettyqueer.com/2011/07/28/riley-kilo-interview/ It's long but a worthwhile read. The comments section is interesting too.

My inner-DL (and to a lesser extent my little side) is intrigued by the idea of a catheter with a diaper but my more sensible side screams "DON'T!" while my squeamish side screams "you're gonna stick it WHERE?!"... So I'll probably never try it. Self-preservation in action

Active Ultra with a little modification I made that I'm trying out

Just spent an hour or so building in a far-flung part of my SSP (legit) world Most of the time was spent chasing sheep about the place Next step is to stick a bunch of sticky pistons and a crapload of redstone on a timer circuit behind the paci ...... [edit] Some time later..... Heheh Apologies for the crappy video quality, doing this on the laptop which creaks to run MC at the best of times, let alone when I'm doing video capture at the same time I ain't no redstone person either so it's not timed perfectly or anything like that...

Yesterday didn't go anywhere, it was an illusion to start with... Or at least that's how it felt to my caffeine-deprived mind...

Or they over inflated the figures... IIRC, the narrator gave that little factoid, didn't he? Rather than being spoken by herself...

You need to pick a better beach There's one I know (N30° 46.280, W081° 27.546) where if you hike a mile or so north from the beach marker, you'll probably not see another living soul all day long. Even if there are other people, you can see them walking up the beach for at least 30 minutes before they get to you so it's not like you wouldn't have the chance to cover up and to top it off, it's probably one of the most beautiful, unspoiled, white sand beaches on earth The wild horses probably wouldn't care if you stripped down to a diaper and t-shirt

Look at other shows - most of them have that dangerous/harmless-but-weird combo. Gas huffer/teddy bears, laundry detergent/lifting weights, couch foam/furry, etc... It's almost as much of a theme of the show as pica...

As I normally do, I've been 'processing' this through the day and noticing things including... ...this and the "surprise!" moment, I wonder it that was engineered to add some drama for the same reason as the shopping 'drama' because they expected to find somebody who had this 'addiction' that negatively impacted their life and found that actually, it doesn't The "it must make buying clothes so difficult" and "what about relationships" seemed to be a bit of a grasp at finding a negative where there really wasn't one

Affirmative, it's back

I thought that at first but then thought that maybe putting her segment with the drier sheet lady who was doing something that's properly harmful would help people realise that while being an ABDL is not exactly <airquotes>normal</airquotes> it's not like it's damaging either. The difference between the two was stark and shown by the medical segment at the end. The drier sheet lady being told essentially to stop before it kills her whereas with Riley it was more 'let's try and understand this...' Hopefully the viewers could see that one was a harmless quirk in a varied world, the other was a dangerous habit. Now as for the gasoline huffing woman..... How she hasn't blown herself up in the past 30 years I have no idea. I swear, at one point you could see the vapour coming off the top of the open plastic bottle in her car. Enclosed space? Check! Inflammable vapour? Check! Source of ignition? Check! And doesn't petroleum melt most plastics? Yikes, yikes, yikes!

Riley did good There were a couple of moments where statements were stitched together to say things TLC wanted to say (listen for unnatural tone changes and cuts mid sentence) but WAY fewer than you normally get on ABDL tv shows. My wife hasn't seen it yet but hopefully seeing it from another person's point of view will help her understand some of the things that I've never been able to properly explain. This is the first show that I've been comfortable with her seeing without needing to constantly explain/correct things. Good job

Touché

You missed a "Thunder" Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, THUNDER... CATS! Snarf, snarf

I haven't flown for just over 3 years now but I don't fly any other way. Take some diapers through security, put one on at the other side, board, sit back, relax

In my younger, lonelier, unhappier and undiapered (!) days, I signed up for a popular site for a month to see what it was like. One of the first photos I saw, the model had put the diaper on back to front. Yeah, that kinda blew the illusion and I didn't renew

If I didn't, I'd never get the chance to wear a diaper at all. Our schedules are such that when I'm in the house, the step kids are too, literally all of the time. Months can go by without me having a couple of hours in the house without them around. You learn to be discreet. When I moved into the family home, I scaled down my diaper wearing considerably. I'm down to maybe one or two a diaper days per fortnight now from an almost every day thing before and even then it's mostly overnight when they're in bed. I never leave things lying around, everything is well hidden in areas they know are private and wouldn't notice anyway (boxes up high, under the bed, back of a cluttered closet...). I wear dark, loose jeans, even my wife can't tell if I'm wearing a diaper underneath them, and always lock the door when I'm changing or lounging on the bed with an exposed diaper or a bottle something. Neither of them are touchy-feely kids and they're both old enough not to launch surprise shirt grabbings, etc and to understand that people need private space for their own business. More overt ABDL behaviour has to wait a few years until we're empty nesters and I'm fine with that. There's always a very small risk of them finding out, of course, but there's a contingency plan already in place. They'll be told it's an occasional medical problem and is absolutely not something that's open to discussion, along with a reminder that medical problems are private and never to be discussed with anyone else. They each have their own conditions that they would hate to be common knowledge so I know they understand that. That reads like blackmail I wouldn't say that to them, I'm just saying that they each already understand why that kind of stuff isn't discussed with other people. FWIW, one of the few times I think it's A-OK to tell a bare-face lie about being an ABDL is when confronted with that situation. Remember that most people see adult diapers and think "medical problem" not "fetishist". In this case, there's no need to correct that assumption IMO. Caution, planning ahead and above all, personal restraint and discretion are all that's needed. To give a parallel, they shouldn't ever be exposed to us having sex either but that doesn't mean we can't do it until after they've moved out

That is a really neat idea! A problem I always have is that smalls are generally too tight for me and the tapes pop so I have to buy mediums but I'm right at the bottom end of that size range and there's always loads of overlap at the sides. As I walk around, the front side panel (underneath the back one and touching the skin) almost always starts to move frontwards, bunch up and rub around the front of my thigh and I have to find a place to go and pull it back around to where it should be. It can cause the lower tape attachment to dig into my leg when I sit, too. If that velcro panel stops that happening, fantastic, I hope some other manufacturers pick up on it If they're bothering you though, why not just get a pair of scissors and cut the tabs off? If I'm understanding it correctly, they're not critical to keeping the diaper on, just stopping the side panels from slipping and bunching...

You'd have to be a bit of a clean freak to throw out clothes rather than just wash them, no? It's only pee. If you're happy to sit in a diaper full of it for a couple of hours, I don't see how clothes that have had pee on them and have since been washed are a problem. Doesn't seem to do babies any harm It probably does help that we have very little carpet in our house though

Withdrawal sucks This is why I have a pack of generic store-brand diapers on my shelf - kinda like a rainy-day fund. If for whatever reason, I run out of the good stuff, I've got something that while not great, is better than nothing in reserve to tide me over...

I definitely don't do this. Ever. Honest. Really... [edit to add] I wonder if maybe it's something that can appeal more to ABs than DLs? There can be a powerful regression or 'potty training not quite working out so back to diapers you go' factor to it...
