  1. Seeing as this club didn't get a lot of traction, and there is no way to "delete" a club once it's been created. Anyone interested in taking over ownership of this group, please reply to this message or DM me and I will hand the reins on to you. Hopefully you have more luck than I did in bringing members of the Melbourne ABDL scene together on this site.
  2. DD also uses ArrowChat. There is an issue with it not responding to HTTP poll requests for new messages, which could be something as simple as cookie duration, or another configurable parameter. Depending on how Invision is hosted, it may be easy to integrate another chat service with more features, or even write something from scratch. However I don't have quite as much time as I did earlier in the year. Am happy to help if I can.
  3. Hey there @DiaperboyEddie12, So sorry for the late reply, and even more sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. It's great to see that you've got so much support here. You're always in my thoughts, and I feel for you mate. Try and keep your chin up, and remember that like all rough patches, this too will pass, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. This post COVID world is a lot tougher than before, with everyone being squeezed as we all scramble to try and make up for lost time. Financial trouble is always hard, especially when you're already doing everything you can. What's more it can really screw with your psychology, and even kill your motivation. Just don't let that win, and remember everything you have. As long as you can put food in your belly and diapers on your bum, you're gonna be OK. Things can only get better. On a practical note, I hear that there is high demand for workers in just about every industry. Maybe try looking for casual or part time employment instead of Uber for the time being, as it's likely to pay more and be more stable (at the expense of a bit of freedom in terms of scheduling). Uber seem to be making it harder and harder for drivers all over the world, and they don't have any morals when it comes to ensuring their workers are able to maintain a basic standard of living. As someone who makes a living from online services myself, at least I can tell you that you're not alone. The entire industry has seen a huge increase in competition during and since the pandemic, as everyone rushes to take their business out of the real world and onto the internet. I don't know how long this will last for, but it's been harder and harder to turn a profit when competing with every man and his donkey from countries you've never even heard of, along with higher shipping costs and long delays. As always, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Stay positive, and be open to new opportunities, they come in all shapes and sizes and it's easy to miss them if you've still got your blinkers on. Love ya mate Things will get better soon.
  4. Okay, Since Victoria is expected to be out of Lockdown on the Tuesday 26th of October (the week before Melbourne Cup Day), I was wondering if anybody would show up at Fitzroy Gardens or Edinburgh Gardens on Saturday 30th of October? Please post if you'd like to join me!
  5. Personally, I shower fully each day in the mornings after I wake up, and like @oznl I will have a quick wash of my nappy area when I'm home before my night nappy goes on. Otherwise, I will wash my bum if I have a messy nappy when I'm at home, when not at home, I use huggies wipes, as they seem to work well. EDIT: One other thing, if I'm being a little boy, I will have a bubble bath at nighttime before bed, with my duckies, pirate ships, water pistols and other fun bath-time toys.
  6. Hi everyone, Thanks for sticking around for a year of lock downs and self isolation. Lets celebrate our freedom on the day COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, or shortly thereafter. In the spirit of the coming Christmas season, I'll be sure to give away something to the wearers of the 3 cutest face masks (if we get more than 3 people turning up to the first ever meet-up we've organized via this group). Therefore I invite people to think about the best venue, either indoor or outdoor, and post your suggestions. Anyone not coming due to financial hardship, please DM me, and I'll see what I can do to help you get there, get a feed, a drink or two, and get home safely (I'll have so many Uber points after this... Totally worth it).
  7. Somehow I've managed to keep some of every batch I've ordered, right from the first generation, which had the darker logo printed. When I get my hands on some of the 2020 batch, if people would like to see a comparison video of them all I'll post one, however, as I'm a bit shy and privacy conscious, I'll have a friend from the US do the voice-over (plus, Australian accents are difficult to understand anyway). Id just like to ask @NorthShoreAdam a favor if he could confirm the batch before I place an order, as shipping them to Australia costs me substantially more than the diapers themselves.
  8. Hey welcome to all the newcomers, It's great to see that we might be able to get together a small group who are looking to meet up in person. Unfortunately this is probably the worst time in modern history to try and arrange in-person meetups, but Isolation won't last forever, and when it's over, I'd love to organize a celebration meet-up. Anyone with ideas as to good venues, please share. As an added incentive to get as many of us together, for the first one, I'm happy to pick up the tab for food & drinks, as I know COVID-19 has hit us all hard financially.
  9. Hey mate, It's nice to hear from you. A few of my friends are currently stranded in Europe trying to get back to the US due to travel bans. Hopefully you're still well and healthy, and these days, taking all the necessary precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Here in Victoria the government has started taking fairly drastic measures starting today (Monday March 23rd) with non-essential businesses shut down and self-isolation recommended for the entire population. Due to some of my previous health issues, particularly related to cancer treatment, I'm considered "immunocompromised" and in the "high risk" category (the same as babies and the elderly, so it's not just nappies we have in common), so have been under what equates to house arrest for a few weeks now. I cannot begin to express my sincere gratitude to my wonderful Wife who has been my lifeline to the outside world. Although not hoarding, we're well stocked with toilet paper, nappies, wipes, powder, antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer and everything else one could think of. My thoughts are with all those affected by the pandemic (whether directly, or indirectly), and I implore everyone to cooperate with government controls and social separation recommendations to hopefully stay ahead of the curve and ride this nightmare out without seeing the kind of widespread suffering which has occurred elsewhere. @oznl Thanks for thinking of me. It's most appreciated.
  10. Hey, a big hug and a very warm welcome to Supes, looks like we may have a rolling ball here. Would be great to organize a regular meetup for our great city, so as ABDLs across the greater Melbourne area can get to know each-other in the real world.
  11. Would like to give a big shout-out to NappyMax, the first member of this group. I know that there are a lot of Victorian ABDLs out there, and I'd love to help organize meet-ups in the real world, to get to know each other and share our mutual interests, make new friends and just have a great time in a safe and sportive environment.
  12. Hey Crawling-in-diapers, I wouldn't hold your breath for an exact date (and that unfortunate corona-virus outbreak won't help matters). This seems to have been a really complicated problem, and aside from North Shore writing off a whole bunch of inventory, it just has to move through the supply chain. What would be really nice is a confirmation somewhere of which batch numbers are the "new (well, phoenix'ed old ones)" just so we're sure what we're getting. This would be a terrible position to be in as a business for North Shore Care, as some people place a lot of emphasis on receiving a product with properties which adhere as closely as possible to the original design. Equally, to all those eager ABDLs out there, salivating over the prospect of getting their hands on something resembling the "original" MegaMax, to be fair to North Shore Care, they are a mainstream supplier, who don't just serve the ABDL community (despite doing a better job of it than most dedicated ABDL brands), so this probably won't be their top priority, compared with ensuring supply of all their other products. Some of us have been awaiting the return of the original Mega Max (the worlds greatest adult diaper) with bated breath for almost 6 months, and rather than have a lot of chaotic and disappointed posts from impatient people who order on April 1 (oh, the irony) and then proceeding to complain that "these aren't any better than the previous ones". Lets think logically... It's likely that North Shore can't afford to simply write off tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of inventory which for a lot of people serve their needs just fine, it'd be good to have some sort of obvious designation mark (even if it's not public / obvious to the broader North Shore customer base), giving a positive indication that these are in fact the "New (or old style)" products. I'm suggesting a few simple means that may help those for whom it's of vital importance to "know" that they're receiving products produced using the remedied fabrication process. Maybe they could provide a coupon code that means "only send the new ones, and back-order if you can't". Alternatively a new part number (I'm just brainstorming here) as I'd imagine there would be a whole lot of pent up demand in the ABDL community for the return of the "holy grail" of diapers. Perhaps, they could publish the batch code(s) of the new products discretely on here (or just add a magic marker, like a special symbol or something to the batch code) to avoid confusion. Maybe they should impose some purchasing limits to stop people (especially people like me) from overstocking, so everyone gets a fair share. The original Mega Max was such a great product, the North Shore team brought to market a diaper that so many people were genuinely satisfied and content with that they need no improvements or changes. We loved them just the way they were. But alas, they have become Unicorns now. Fabled products from (what I'll now call) Long Ago. Maybe you've seen or used one, maybe you've just heard of them. Oh and once confirmed that these are in-fact equivalent to, or better than the previous second iteration, put me down for 10 cases (... yeah, about suggestion number 4). Cheers (and looking forward to their return, and special thanks for all the effort that the North Shore team have put in to both informing us in an honest and transparent manner, as well as doing everything they can to bring satisfaction to their customers, and a smile to their face), Idzy
  13. By way of example, a case of North Shore Megamax cost US$86.99. After trying these I simply can't go back to anything else for overnight. Even using a shipping agent that my business does high volumes with, it costs me roughly US$140.00 in shipping fees to get it to Australia. If they could possibly ship direct (or if dreams could come true and they could Drop Ship from China), it could cut out a lot of the cost of shipping and handling of goods going backwards and forwards across the globe (hint hint) and if possible when their production issues are solved, I may be able to buy in bulk and ship by sea, but we'll see if they let me. For now, I'm just glad they let me buy their products as they have been life-changing.
  14. Hey, I'm trying to give them away, and nobody local seems to be interested. Even if someone is shy and non participatory, this may be their first introduction to the joys of wearing a decent diaper. Although your point about size is kinda important. PS: Looking to take advantage of others for free stuff generates negative karma. Even if you feel hard-done-by, ripping someone else off doesn't make you smarter than them, and will only yield negative dividends in the long run.
  15. What size are you. If you're a Large, you're probably in luck. I've got an extensive collection that my wife desperately wants to reduce the size of to make room for our nursery build. Domestic shipping within Australia is cheap enough that it'd be worth your while, and I've got a pack of just about every ABDL nappy ever released. Hit me up if you're interested, however you'll need to pay the transport cost (which we'll give you original receipts for), or you can arrange postage yourself.
  16. Terry1996: If you really want me to, I can get back to you with exact pricing, however in my experience, shipping from the US to Australia always costs me more than the value of the actual diapers themselves if sent by traditional couriers (FedEx, DHL, UPS, even USPS). So I imagine it would be the same going in the opposite direction I hope I was clear when I mentioned Melbourne, Australia, not Melbourne in Florida. If sent by sea, it'd be worth you looking through my entire surplus inventory (provided you're my size) to make sure you're getting the best value for money, as sea shipping is geared towards higher volumes. I have a background in logistics and can arrange for sea shipment to your door at a price that may make these "free" diapers better value than simply purchasing them locally, however it will take 6 to 9 weeks door to door. My advice would be to simply purchase them locally. Whilst I do have a large stockpile, it isn't enough to really warrant a sea shipment and will most likely cost you the same as buying them locally, but be a major headache for me to organize. I'm sorry my friend, I really wish I could help you.
  17. IIRC: We were both in nappies on our wedding day. It's long day, with lots of fluids, and too many distractions. Makes perfect sense. Whoa, be nice... Maybe like us they both wanted the security on one of the most nerve wracking days of their lives. I wish them well into the future
  18. Just hope this fad doesn't spread too far, or all our SAPs will become illegal drug precursors.
  19. OK, i tried this before, and i guess I picked a time too close to Christmas / New Years. Does anyone want to support me in organizing a meetup? I'll put the bulk of the work in, but I'd just like to gauge the interest. Please post here rather than PM, obviously personal details should be kept private. But if there are enough of us who want it, we'll make it happen.
  20. Hey guys, I've got an obscenely large collection of ABDL diapers, and my wife is putting pressure on me to reduce the amount of storage space these take up. So it is with great disappointment that I'll initially offer 2 Packs (sealed and unopened) of Crinklz (large) and a single pack of L/XL Bambinos dinosaurs (again, sealed and unopened), completely free of charge for pick-up in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. You'd also be free to rummage around in the rest of my collection and take whatever I don't desperately want to hold on to. If you're not in this area, we can ship them to you at cost. These are great nappies, however we're literally running out of space to store them. This is a trial run to see how much interest we get, but there are a LOT more where they came from. All have been stored in ideal conditions, and to be honest it's sad to see them go. I just hope they make someone happy In addition to this, I have 3 commercial grade Ozone generators which will completely disinfect and purify the air and surfaces in the stinkiest of places. (WARNING: These devices are extremely hazardous to use without proper precautions, however when used correctly, will remove any malodorous remnants of wet or dirty nappies in 20 minutes). They are used by professional cleaning companies to decontaminate murder scenes, night-club owners to remove the smell of stale vomit, beer and urine, and in scientific clean rooms to maintain aseptic conditions. So if you've got a musty room, a stinky diaper pail, or a bed that's been wet a few too many times, these will do wonders with a single treatment, however they aren't toys and can cause serious harm if used incorrectly. Full safety instructions provided (in English).
  21. I'll need to look more closely, but I haven't noticed this problem. I shower every day an haven't noticed any residue on my skin, plus I wear a thin white onesie over them in the daytime to hide the waistband, and again, have not noticed any staining or ink residue there. The climate where I live is fairly dry, and I spend most of my time both at work and at home in an air-conditioned environment, so perhaps just haven't been exposed to the humidity you have. I suffered a severe Thoraco-lumbar injury affecting my T10-L2 vertebrae, and am lucky to be able to walk, however have no feeling whatsoever below my lower back As such, I too suffer from incontinence, and like the balance that Tykables have struck between something a little fun, and something that those who may see my disposed diapers in the trash (always within a sealed bag, but still) would notice as overtly "babyish". At night I am an extremely heavy wetter (between 4 to 6 liters a night), as my body doesn't produce ADH - Anti Diuretic Hormone, but thus far having experienced no leaks can't say that this has played a part. For the most part I still wear MegaMax at night, as these are the only diapers I really "trust" for such volumes without extra covers and plastic pants (which I now find almost unbearable after having gotten used to nights without them). Thanks for the heads up. Now that you've mentioned it, I'll probably notice it ?, but so far haven't had any problems.
  22. To be fair, they haven't made a big deal about it, except here. Their commercial website includes no such mention, nor should it. It's great that Adam is transparent and open enough to explain the details to the community, and I can't in my wildest dreams imagine that it's a publicity stunt. Chinese contract manufacturers are a law unto themselves, and you often don't know there is a manufacturing issue until it's too late. The supply chain for anything made in the PRC is long and drawn out, with a good dose of deception thrown in, with assurances like "nothing has changed" and "everything is the same as before". I'm kinda dependent on these, as I've not found a diaper like it, but have samples of all 4: Gen1 - darker "North Shore" logo - The original MegaMax, well built, absorbent in a way that no other diaper is! Gen2 - Lighter "North Shore" logo, but same mechanical properties as Gen1- As amazing as the first. Gen3 - Thinner outer shell, substantially less SAP and less "bulk" in the crotch, plus a slightly different different cut, likely made using a cheaper, higher volume process GenBlue - Similar thickness and SAP distribution to Gen1 and Gen2, but still a similar cut to Gen3. I have the utmost faith in North Shore that they'll restore the MegaMax to their original glory, and urge anyone who is critical of North Shore to consider any other manufacturer who has been as transparent and honest with the community than North Shore have been. This would be excellent!
  23. Hey all, In the past I haven't had much luck with Tykables diapers (their clothing is great), not that there is anything particularly bad about them, just they have never really been a great fit for my body. In the interests of curiosity, I figured I'd give their latest ones a go. Honestly, I was really surprised, they fit really well, are super comfy, absorbent and have hook and loop tabs. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after the first night, was really impressed. With a booster, these work very well even for side-sleepers, and though they are printed, they're not so obvious as an ABDL diaper that you can't pass them off as medical product if needed. Really impressed guys, great that you've finally made a diaper that fits bigger guys Anyone else had experience with these?
  24. OK. This bit of advice is a little bit shifty, but as an employer myself, I've been fooled by this tactic on more than one occasion. Find a company which has recently filed for bankruptcy / been liquidated / closed down and claim to have worked for them until you were one day out of a job when the company unexpectedly went belly up. Not only will this fill in gaps in your resume, but it will engender a sense of loyalty, that you "went down with the ship." It's next to impossible to disprove, and provided you work hard in your new position, it will do your new employer no harm.
  25. I had a housemate like this for 4 years. Aside from the obvious feeling of injustice you have as you wake up on a Monday morning, only to find him just heading off to bed, it is not healthy for him, nor a healthy situation for your mental health. Unfortunately, my housemate said that he "wanted to work, but couldn't get his foot in the door". I called in favors from everyone I knew, and got him 4 or 5 jobs, all of which he was terminated from within a week. One of those jobs was with my Brother, who ultimately had to terminate him. Eventually, I did muster the courage to evict him, however one of my parting questions was "did you ever get fired on purpose" to which he answered "always, I don't want to work, welfare pays well enough". The sad thing about this is that I put my reputation on the line for this guy, with colleagues, friends and family, only to find out that he was working to an intentionally poor standard and engaging in conduct with the objective of being fired. There is no helping some people, and it took me over a year to recover psychologically from the stress he caused me, and I would shudder to even tally the financial cost. Whilst he is your brother, the best thing you could do for both yourself and him would most likely be to send him back to live with his father (I know this places additional stress on your father, but he is probably the only one who can discipline him). Also, he will be able to see first hand where his money is going, and hopefully talk some sense into the man before he kills himself, and brings you down with him. P.S. Please bear in mind that "cold turkey" alcohol withdrawal for an individual who is physically dependent is medically dangerous, and unless undertaken in a hospital or detox center can be fatal, due to all kinds of CNS irregularities including seizures, cardiac arrhythmia and suffocation. Please don't throw him to the wolves in this regard, and ensure he is under medical supervision during his acute detoxification.
