This is my first time making one of these, any feedback or questions for information i've missed I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability. If you are interested in trying these diapers for yourself, this is their website. https://www.thedottydiapercompany.co.uk/ In advance I will warn that the following is my personal experience and perspective of these diapers and I despite what I say, I encourage you to try these if you feel like doing so to formulate your own perspective of them. What appeals to you and I may vary entirely, so simply take what I say with a pinch of salt if possible. I ordered a sample pack from Dotty Diapers recently because they've been on my radar for a while, Ive heard good things from other UK based users and the designs have always been appealing to me. I actually had an older dotty diaper in my collection (from before 2019) which I hadn't realized was a dotty diaper until the sample pack arrived. In particular I've experienced previously the rainbow pony diaper from another sample pack I've acquired in the past, so i was surprised to see it again included here, however, as I had recently tried out the diaper, this turned into more of a comparative review between current and old versions of the diaper. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the pre-2019 rainbow pony diaper, so you'll just have to take my words as they are for now. Apologies! The diaper I previously tried was from around 2020-2019, at least as far as I'm aware it was around that time. The first thing I noticed when I received the current-day editions of these diapers is that they are at least half the thickness as they were 4 years ago. I have included pictures of specifically the Purple dotty diaper, though I am under the impression that most of these are similar in function with the main variance being in the aesthetics. I initially anticipated these diapers being higher quality than they currently are, especially compared to the diaper I owned previously. I imagine this is likely due to the shrinkflation phenomenon that is currently plaguing our country, As dotty diapers is a small business I must state it is not my intent to criticize business practices or alienate anybody against the owners, I'm merely giving my view and opinion on the quality of the products I have received. It is very likely these decisions in regard to the decline in quality were to maintain the products value, and despite what else I may say later in the review, I still consider them a valuable product for anybody experimenting with more aesthetically pleasing diapers. So far specifically, I have tried the playful pups (£18.99 for 10) which I wore over an evening, night and morning, and the plain and simple purple diaper (£17.99 for 10) Both in size XL as I have a large tummy. Below I have compiled a collection of images of the purple diaper, Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture of the playful pups diaper, but I will attach an image for reference later in the review. Pictured Below: A plain and simple Purple Dotty Diaper, top, beneath, open, side view and worn on a plus size female body. The following is in regards to my experiences with both the Plain and Simple Purple diaper (which I will refer to as Purple Diaper for ease from this point forward) I changed into this diaper in the morning-to mid-day time and wore this under a pair of boy-shorts underwear and cycling shorts (short leggings). I am personally not usually a fan of plastic backed diapers but was pleasantly surprised by these in particular as the plastic backing on it is surprisingly soft and flexible. It is still somewhat crinkly and did make me feel quite warm through-out the day, this is interesting as the website claims the diaper is made with 'breathable plastic'. I am disabled and spend a lot of time inside, so this review is from a user who is mostly sedentary. I probably wore this diaper for about 6-8 hours before I essentially 'gave up' with it due to discomfort. I am not a fan of the sound that plastic backed diapers make as I prefer discretion, for me, this is an okay diaper to wear around the home, for a play session, or by fans of this crinkly sound. I found this diaper leaked quite quickly, though I imagine this may have been due to my own failure with the tapes. Speaking of the tapes, despite the drop in quality I noticed with this diaper over all compared to older dotty diapers I've tried, the tapes remain to be some of the highest quality adhesive tapes ive experienced on a diaper. These are THICK, extremely wide, but once they are stuck down, you are not getting them off again in a hurry. To my surprise these tapes held strong for most of the day, a problem I often have with my awkward shaped body is diapers with tapes that stretch and lose their grip as the day progresses, leading to a nappy that wont stay in place, because of this I usually wear diaper covers or pants over the diaper to help keep it up and on, but I probably could have sufficed with just the diaper itself. This is one element of the diaper that gets 10/10 for me. Back to the leaking issue. This diaper was barely full by the time I had to throw in the towel, it probably leaked on me 3 hours into the wear, keeping in mind I am sedentary and spend a lot of time sitting down, I almost always experience leaks in the inner leg area, considering this is a common occurrence for me, I do not exactly want to blame the diaper itself but I will say compared to other diapers these have an awkward fit on the size and shape of my body, even with a cover, it felt loose against my backside which is where the majority of these leaks formed this time in particular. These diapers claim to hold 6000ml, I don't believe I was anywhere near this capacity when the leak occurred. Regarding design and aesthetics, these are PURPLE. and I love purple, I do love the concept of plain diapers as a person who regularly uses medical slips, the medical ones always have this distracting imagery on them, text, etcetera which just makes everything feel so very clinical. These plain and simples come in purple, blue, white and black, and I currently have these other colours to try out, but seeing as I assume its going to be a similar experience to the purple, I am hesitant to try them out, though I will return with an update if I ever do. Something that stuck out to me upon opening the package is how wrinkled and thin the plastic on these diapers are when you open them. Some people may see an appeal in this, but for me it stuck out like a sore thumb, this immediately indicated to me that something was amiss with these diapers compared to the other id tried previously, this plastic was thinner and flimsier than the dense plastic I was accustomed to; for example, I could compare the older edition of Dotty's diapers almost to that of a tykable, but these days it looks and feels much closer in quality to a budget medical diaper. Looking at the listing for this diaper, it claims to be comprised of a soft breathable plastic, I found this plastic on the cheaper end and not necessarily breathable, a quilted inside; this you can see visually but not necessarily feel, four resealable tapes; these tapes stick down good, i would not consider them resealable, in that when I attempted to peel the tapes up to re-seal, the diaper plastic started to come up with it. This brings me to a further issue I experienced with this diaper. I applied this diaper standing, as I usually do, with my back to my wardrobe, As I came away from the wardrobe, the back of the diaper for some reason became snagged on the door handle, this was caused by very gentle movement, and yet still resulted in a noticeable hole in the plastic, of course this is my fault for not being aware of my surroundings, however, I believe this would not have happened had the quality of the plastic used in the manufacturing of the nappy been higher quality. You can see the hole pictured below on the left. For legal reasons, these pictures are from just after the diaper was applied; it is clean. You may also note above what I refer to as an awkward taping job, this is just where they seemed to land, I try to avoid overlapping my tapes if I can as this adds additional stress to the bottom tape and can incur premature loosening of the adhesive. In closing, with everything I've said, Id definitely still buy these again, even if they aren't exactly my first choice in terms of quality or aesthetic, with that said, I am a huge fan of the aesthetics of some of these diapers, very colorful and of course im a huge fan of the fact these diapers are plain. I would LOVE to see this company make a cloth-backed diaper, which I'm much more a fan of as they tend to be softer and quieter. With that said, I have one final thing I want to critique on, and this is simply me being nit-picky and I understand entirely if you'd like to disregard my words on the following... The design of the playful Pups diaper. I love how playfully minimalist the design on this diaper is, but unfortunately there's something off and uncanny regarding the illustration of the dog itself, in a line-up of designs this wouldn't have been my first choice personally for something like this. It feels to me as if the artist didn't conduct much, if any, visual research on the styles and aesthetics that are preferred in regards to the modern adult diaper consumer, regardless, this is obviously just my personal opinion, i love dogs, I love the breed of dog chosen for the design of this diaper, but the art itself feels amiss to me. This is speaking as an artist of nearly 19 years, and though usually I am apprehensive to critique art where it isn't asked for, this is a design that is plastered front and center on a product so understandably, a least somebody out there decided this illustration was of a high enough quality for that purpose. Apologies again if my comment on this is a little harsh, it's just not my cup of tea and I believe it could have been more aesthetically pleasing, clean, maybe even more inspired by the aesthetics of modern television animations than what appears more to be an uncanny in-between of illustration and realism. The design seems to have an unfinished quality, like something is missing. More positively im a fan of the choice of dog and the colour-palette for the stars is a delight, all soft pastels that work well together, the purple waistband is also pleasant. I would like to do a proper review of this diaper specifically in the future, as my experience wearing it was definitely more successful than the Plain and Simple Purple.

hey everyone im new to the screen and haven't got much experience, im hoping for that to change,im 23 live in east London and am looking to meet littles and get to know more people in the community

Hello, This is my first time using this site, so sorry if I get some of the stuff wrong or anything like that, not looking to cause drama or upset, just want to get to know some like-minded people in the region I live and share my ABDL side with them. With that out of the way, Hi! My name is Krazy, I am a 30+ male Adult Baby and I live in the Midlands. I live with a very caring and loving mummy, we are engaged and have our own house. We are very openminded and enjoy our own take on the ABDL scene, probably with somethings most of you enjoy, some you do not and some you may not have considered. I expect there are some sides of it I can learn from you too! We have a wide collection of baby items and I live as an AB pretty much 100% of the time I am outside of work, even in public. It is something we work hard to keep secret and just between the two of us. So why make an account here then? I am very lucky to have a full time mummy who looks after me and embraces the lifestyle and all that is associated with it, but I keep wishing I had some ABDL friends who I could talk to, share with and maybe even meet up in real life with as well. Sorry to seem sexist here, but I have my reasons and I don't really want to go into them with a bunch of strangers on the internet, no offence to anyone, it's just very personal, but I am only looking for AB girls (biologically female from birth) to build up a friendship with. I have nothing against guy, trans people or anyone really, it's just my preference is all. Also I am not looking for any kind of romantic or sexual contact, like I said, I am lucky enough to get all of that from my fiancée-mummy. I have plenty to share and am open to other peoples opinions and views, so if you are a female ABDL or similar from the Midlands UK, or surrounding regions, and you fancy getting to know an experienced and friendly guy without any risk of romantic desire or sexual intention, then please contact me here and say hi, I would really love to hear from you. -Krazy

HI Where can I find cheap Disposable Diapers/Nappies in UK? I am spending £20+ for Diapers/Nappies with Shipping.... I don't work so I can't afford to buy them I have to make a pack of 10 last me a few weeks maybe a month at at time, I'd really like to wear one everyday and not worry about prices. Before you suggest cloth Diapers/Nappies.... Thanks, I've tried and don't really like them, but it seems I might have no choice but to go to cloth instead of disposables. Please Help.... Thank you in advanced. Enjoy the rest of your day xx

Ever since I can remember I have been interested in diapers.

Hi, I'm completely new to this forum and also new to the the idea of actually getting involved with the AB/DL community. Previously, I've just been content to sit back and watch, but I'm starting to think that I'd like to, at least, make a friend or two with similar interests.
