6 1/2 years for me too. I've learned SO much from this site (many thanks to DD and co. ) More of a reader than poster. I will get round to funding one day, I promise

Although I'm not a professional photographer, I have had many years exposure (no pun intended!) to professionals. As anned said, lighting is everything.

I have spotify in the background most of the time and just happened to hear Aqua's song "Barbie Girl" the other day (it was in someone else's playlist by the way). To detract from how much I hate the song I couldn't stop myself from altering the lyrics:

Yes! They are brilliant, my favourite has to be because the "real" Mr T is awesome.

Hi peoples

Yep except being cold makes me pee more so just have to be careful of leaks! All the extra clothing/coats are great for hiding your VDL

It takes a certain something to be so open. I don't post a lot and only get involved with stuff that strikes my chord - your post certainly did that! I got my own place a few years ago and as much as having to maintain a full time job to pay all the bills stresses the hell out of me, the fact I can indulge in my thing whenever I like is such a huge relief it evens it out. I clearly remember the frustrating years of living with my parents, trying to wear towels folded in different ways and only ocassionally "acquiring" baby nappies from visiting relatives' changing bags (and no, I am not proud of those moments). When I finally got internet access in my late teens, realising I wasn't alone was an amazing feeling, and then finding there were loads of adult nappies available to buy, and even some brands online, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had to wait several months until my parent's had a week-long holiday and I siezed the chance to place an order for a bag of Attends, I forget which type but they were the sort that are now called Slip Active. Being the first adult-size nappies I had ever tried they blew my mind, but anxiety got the better of me and ended up only using a few of them, throwing the rest away before my parents got back. That week every year was my only chance for several years, ordering different brands online to see what they were like for myself. That first purge annoyed me so I created a good hiding place in my cupboard and only had a couple of purges when my room was being redecorated - there wasn't space for hiding stuff when that happened! I can also relate to hachimaki about dating and being around people - I'm a definite introvert (the second paragraph here explains my exact thoughts when I say that), which makes it almost impossible to find the right person. My main fear is that if I did happen to meet someone and our feelings were mutual, I would not be able to let a relationship develop without them accepting my kink. Involvement would be a background thought at that point. I finally accepted who I am a year or so ago, feel much happier for it, and maintain that there is no "normal".

Was going to say Blushing Buyer as I had no idea they'd gone! Hope the new people will be able to offer similar stock soon. I've not had Molicares for years, but I do remember them ticking all my boxes at the time. SaveExpress are great, have a huge range and very competitive. Delivery isn't as fast to here as they're in Germany (5 days on average for me via DHL "paket spezial" - depends where you live of course) but with how much choice there is I don't mind waiting. Their plain packaging is good, basically random adult nappy brands' boxes turned inside out and brown taped up extremely well to fit the contents.

When I first started wearing nappies to bed I just could not get sleep, sometimes i'd get 20mins from sheer exhaustion, but then awake for another hour and so on all night. Stuck with it though and several months later I could sleep fine. I try to wear as often as possible, and even after at least 10 years doing so I still don't wet while asleep. It's happened like 6 times in all those years - madness! Might be to do with my being a bedwetter until around 16.. I had to put up with rubber bedsheets and it was such an awful thing waking up in a puddle most nights. Shame I couldn't gather the balls to buy nappies myself during that time. Edit: Heh just saw my title.. Bedwetter.. as if!

Thanks, it's good to know. Wonder how long it'll be before the big supermarkets start stocking Tena Maxi's and/or other "premium" brands

Now I know why my ears have been hot for the last couple of weeks! (see this if you don't know what I mean) Anyway, since it's my pic I'll clear this up - left is indeed Cuddlz White, on the right are some Molicare Mobile from about 2 1/2 years ago. I used to use them as stuffers.

Shame you can't link to the mainstream manufacturers like Abena and Attends - I don't think they would be very accepting somehow! I thought about a DL-related page so I could link up with others and so on, but it is far too dangerous.

You've pretty much described the point I was at just over a year ago! It took a long time to get used to the pacifier - plenty of near-sleepless nights - even now I frequently wake up in the middle of the night with it poking my face, having spat it out in my sleep. It's probably a psychological thing but when I do wear my onesie at night, I sleep much more deeply and more often than not I'll wake up with a soggy nappy in the morning. It could be the extra relaxation it gives, since the material is quite soft and my feet are kept warm. Good luck though.. I hope you enjoy your newfound passion!

Hmm, an interesting idea. A few big things happened to me before I was 8 but there's only one event I can think of connected with nappies. I'm sure I've posted how it all started before, so the short version.. At about 7 years old, 2ish year old cousin staying over, parents bring bag of Pampers (probably size 5), for some reason that I still can't explain they caught my attention, so late that night I sneaked one out the bag and tried it on for a bit. I was a short fat kid back then so they barely fit, but even so it felt great and stuck in my mind ever since. Over the last several years I've come up with a few connected, realistic but unproven reasons why I'm into this stuff, so I like the idea of something fitting a theory

Brilliant game, and just keeps getting better! I started playing it earlier this year and stopped due to work, only recently started again. Glad to see Pistons + other stuff is now available without modding. I've played the gargamel seed in single player survival mode without any mods or "cheats" for about 30 hours in total, created a spacious and safe multi-level cave/house in the mountain that you initially spawn under. I'll probably add screenshots to my gallery at some point. And I am by no means a Minecraft expert; on a scale of 1-10 my skill is probably 2, but I created this earlier.. Thinking about creating more things like a crib, maybe add a secret virtual ABDL room to my cave since I can't have one in RL So yeah if anyone wants to start a server I'd be interested

I agree - I don't exactly buy a lot, but occasionally there will be a bunch that clump or leak (or both!). I find Abena's seem to vary the most, pretty much a whole case would either leak or clump, then some months later I'd get another case that would be fine Currently my Tena maxi's are clumping.. just hope it's not all of them! IMHO Cuddlz are the only consistently great nappies around - they've never clumped, leaked or split open

I found it tough going for the first 6 months or so.. tried to wear every night but just couldn't take the lack of sleep. Even when I did manage to get a few hours I woke up with aching back, hips, legs, groin; you name it, it ached Made worse by my being a nappy newbie back then and leaking most times. So I started off wearing a single nappy once a week and progressed from there. Been able to happily sleep with a comfortable amount of bulk for several years now. Only thing that causes mild aching nowadays is my home-made leg-spreader - it needs tweaking a bit but I'm sure a few months' time it'll be fine
