DL-Boy

I have a more surefire way to get rid of JW's (those people who distribute the Watchtower pamphlets). I've never tried this before (I could be so inclined to though), but a former co-worker's late husband did it to fluster the JW's who kept knocking on their door on the weekends to testify. He would open the door NUDE. I say I would be so inclined because I'm actually a home nudist when not in diapers. I've been nude at a private club in my area on many occasions where such things are permitted, and I'm looking at visiting one or more "clothing optional" camps in the area. If it weren't for the fact that my front door faces a neighbor's patio and we have a common sidewalk running between our buildings that goes to the soccer field (heavily trafficked by all ages), I might. But I won't knowingly expose minors to my nudity. Now if my kilt blows up and exposes my bare butt, now that's simply a wardrobe malfunction and "force majeure" (an act of God).

I've had the occasional "step out of the house" to pick up a package at the door while wearing only a diaper, t-shirt and even a pacifier (usually retrieving boxes of diapers that were just delivered), but this morning after just getting new patio furniture yesterday, I went out on my patio before work to drink my coffee, wearing only a Crinklz original and my gray "Felix" shirt. I sat there right off the main sidewalk to the soccer field, with my wife until the mowers started churning up the grass on the other side of our fence.

For what it's worth, my tapes rarely creep or fail on my Crinklz when worn at night while sleeping. I guess being far less active at night is the reason. I do get the right leg tape (and sometimes the left) loosening and popping off quite frequently while working from home (while only wearing the Crinklz and a t-shirt) but if I apply the leg tapes a little loosely and don't try to remove and reposition them they are more prone to last out the workday. Early on I had the blue tapes on the legs fold back and start to roll up which caused the whole tape to slide back and lose surface area on the adhesive contact, ultimately leading to tape failure but this was when I was trying to tighten the legs of my Crinklz way too much.

I'll usually point the nozzle down into the bottom of the diaper when putting on the nighttime diaper but as soon as I can, I'll lay on my belly to wet the front (employing gravity to wet from the lower part where I'm pointed, up into the waistband).

Wish I could "sleep wet". I wake with intense all-over body pain and hot flush due to kidneys complaining about a full bladder, then have to position and breathe just right to let the flow start (sometimes sticking finger or two into the leg holes to brush over "Wee Willy" to encourage voiding). Once I've voided, I usually feel good enough to fall back asleep (almost like clockwork around 4:30am).

Not sure if anyone else who uses Crinklz or BetterDry have ever experienced this but I had my first ever blowout at a leg tape where the plastic shell popped open because there was to much stress on the tape. I'm not sure how I did that but I'm going 3-tape for the remainder of this diaper because I couldn't get the 2nd chance tape to patch and hold the shell together. Anyone else had a catastrophic failure of the plastic backing on a Crinklz or BetterDry because the tape pulled on it too hard?

Here's Felix the Fox on a dark gray heather t-shirt.

Funny he should mention specific ABDL markers... Three of the images from Crinklz are of their signature mascot, a white tiger named "Crinklz", involved in several activities (blowing bubbles, chasing a butterfly, snuggling a "security blanket" a la Linus from the Peanuts comics). This mascot, "Crinklz" is the only animal in their lineup who is wearing any sort of clothing at all, and it is a tape on diaper with a colorful decorated landing zone area across the front where the tapes are attached. I'd wear a shirt with Crinklz in public just as readily. Matter of fact, I've got a couple of old images somewhere of "Baby Muppets" and "Baby Looney Tunes" characters, all or most of them in diapers too. I'd wear them too.

I'm not too concerned about the IP owner (intellectual property) wanting permission for my own personal use. The images I'm using are freely downloadable from their website as coloring book pages. All I'm doing is using Photoshop to color it in as closely as possible to stock colored images they already have on their website. As long as I'm using the images for my personal use and not profiting from them or using them in a commercial venture (print ads, etc), I should be fine. The three images attached are in order: Crinklz stock image, Crinklz coloring book page and my colored image using Photoshop:

Let me break it down since it made little or no sense to you. Since you seemed to state that 95% of people wouldn't be comfortable wearing this outside of special ABDL-Cons or similar, then I must be in the other 5% of people. I wore "Theodore" (the t-shirt in the picture, with Theodore on the front), to Tom Thumb (grocery store) and CVS (pharmacy) to pick up prescriptions (medications). I was wearing the shirt along with my black utility kilt which is similar to a traditional Scottish kilt but with pockets on the sides. A kilt is a wrap around garment without legs. You might call it a skirt, but you'd be wrong. I wasn't concerned about other people seeing me dressed this way and did not worry what they might think. As soon as I get two other characters printed (Felix and Leah, the fox and mountain lion characters from the Crinklz adult disposable diapers), and have them ironed onto shirts, I will happily wear them in public too. I finished up the post by mentioning that while I was out getting my prescriptions, I was in a disposable diaper that was over half full (wet) and my only challenge was that it made me walk a little funny due to its thickness - I waddled.

I guess from your estimate then, I'm in the other 5%. I wore "Theodore" out to Tom Thumb and CVS, along with my black Utility Kilt to pick up my prescriptions and didn't think twice about what other people might say. As soon as I get Felix (the fox) and Leah (the sports loving lioness) printed and on shirts, I'll be happy to wear them in public too. IIncidentally, I was also wearing a 60% full Crinklz diaper under the kilt while I was out, but my only concern was that it made me walk a little funny.

You could probably find one on Etsy, or maybe Red Bubble. They probably aren't cheap though, $25 easily. I bought a shirt on Red Bubble a couple of years ago with the green Abena "L4" stripe and it was $35.00.

Yes, dark shirt transfers (I just learned) are really paper with a layer of very, very thin white inkjet-impregnated vinyl transfer medium. Unlike transfers for white shirts, the image on dark transfers is not reversed. Once the image is printed and cut out as closely cropped as possible (except for a tiny tab left to facilitate the proper separation), the medium is then peeled from the paper by tearing the tab which is then trimmed off and the transfer is laid on the fabric for ironing. A silicone impregnated reusable sheet that feels like tracing paper is placed over it and then ironed. The heat both seals the ink into the vinyl medium and adheres the vinyl to the fabric like normal t-shirt shop transfers which have a similar feel. I've had the transfer paper for a couple of years but I bought it at Walmart in the office supplies area. It is manufactured for Walmart (per the info on the package). It comes with light and dark transfers in the same package with separate instructions for each type.

Occasionally I do crafting and make ABDL themed t-shirts. This time I went out to the Crinklz website and downloaded all of the coloring book pages and I have started coloring them using Photoshop, making them look as close as possible to their pre-colored images. I started out with Crinklz the white tiger, blowing bubbles and printed it on a light shirt transfer, ironing it onto a white shirt. Today I decided to try out the dark shirt transfer sheets which are actually vinyl with a paper backing. After printing "Theodore" the Bear (without mirroring the image), I cut the image out and peeled off the transfer vinyl and applied it to a shirt I had just washed. The image attached is my red t-shirt with Theodore. I've also just finished Felix the Fox but I'll need to get more t-shirts before I can do more transfers.

My morning Crinklz Aquanaut with Tranquility Super TopLiner and Abena Boost has just about run it's course now, very full and quite cold by now (I prefer it when they're freshly warm!) I'm about to repeat the pattern with Crinklz Astronaut instead of Aquanaut like I've worn since this morning. If I push this one much more it'll be all over my bed (no bed pad on the bed).
