Diaper Interest At An Early Age?

[Horndog]

This has been an interesting topic for me.

When I was 15, I befriended a group of younger boys who were around 12-13. They all lived near my place and they were at walking distance. One day, we're all playing video games and I was told by one of the boys that his friend in the group wore GoodNites, but to my surprise, they were all very accepting of it and at times, they even joked about how they wanted to stay in diapers. Heck, one week later, the boy who wore the GoodNites came to my house, pulled down his shorts when he went into my bedroom and played video games like everything was normal. There was no shame, no regret, no embarrassment -- and I thought to myself, "Is it really possible for someone to develop a solid diaper interest/fetish at an early age?"

At first, I thought, "Yes," but I didn't factor in the peer teasing and social stigma that comes with that interest.

Has anyone here dealt with diapers at an early age (pre-adolescence)? If you have, explain how you dealt with your peers.

hi..once i was over at my friends house and he turnd out too be a bedwetter aswell as i was and he wore a diaper too bed when i was sleeping over with him so yes .we both had the same problem so

When I was in 5th grade (I think, somewhere around there), I found an old pull-up in my closet from when I was in second grade. I put it on and wet it, and used it for several days (yes, I rewore that one wet pull-up for about three days. It was the only one I had, give me a break).

Then in middle school, I managed to trick my mom into getting me diapers...I also wore them to school, but I never had to deal with my peers. I never really got caught.

I've had an interest in diapers since around 4yrs. Might have been slightly older but not much.

[attendsdiapers]

I'm with others who have posted in this thread, I've had a diaper fetish for as long as I can remember, at least back to my toddler years...so it does seem to be possible.

[toddmdl]

Yeah I had an interest in diapers at a very age. I remember going wearing them going back to ages 2-6 and I always had a positive view of them myself but I noticed as I got older that people didn't think I should be wearing them. My mom also was laid back on the whole toilet training process so I wore regular diapers until about 3 or 4 then I went to pullups. I was stubborn and didn't have an interest so I didn't end up getting trained fulltime until I was about 5 then I wet the bed at night until I was 6. I always liked wearing them though. I think it was a combination that I did like how they felt on me, how they looked on me and how convenient they were instead of the bathroom and I liked the carefree days of a young child where all you do is run and play all day and the most inconvenient part of the day was taking a nap or getting my diaper changed and even then I didn't mind it that much from what I remember I liked the way it felt when I was changed by my mom or babysitters which is another reason why I'm probably attracted to women babying and diapering or wearing because I liked the way I was treated because it felt good as a young child. All my memories from my toddler years had a huge impact on me and I suspect they are the reason why I'm here today.

When I first got into the free samples of Depend Fitted Briefs, I would wear the same diaper for several days too -- not because I only had one but because I felt naughty putting on a used diaper.

Me too, my diaper interests started very young, at about age 3.

When people ask how I got started with this fetish, I always say I was out of diapers for about ten minutes and then started to regret it. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but not that much...

[babyvr6]

I remember being 6-7 years of age and being at a wedding reception. There was a kid there that was 4-5 years of age who wasn't fully potty trained and still wore diapers. I remember being terribly jealous of it. "Why did I have to grow up?" I thought.

This all probably has something to do with why I'm typing to you folks today.

[Wakko]

When I was 5, I saw another child in our house, a little girl, spanked for messing her pants. The turd was still on her buttocks. And I trained late (after 3) and remember my early accidents (though I never wet the bed.)

[BriGuy]

I started wearing when I was 6.... Its official, I've been in diapers longer than I've been out! HAHA.

Many years ago, during the infancy of WWW, I was part of the team that did what we could to reassure parents that the world would not end because a child older than 4 expressed curiosity about diapers. From an early childhood development standpoint maturing youngsters tend to focus on those objects and activities familiar to them. Every person born in the last 120 years has worn something like a diaper growing up. Even when their parents have little clothing they diaper their precious children.

What amazes me is that everyone does not develop a diaper affectation, a less pejorative term of art than "fetish" which as a different meaning to the mental health professions than to the general public.

We started a website called "When Kids Love Diapers" (WKLD) based on the fact that when a person not yet an adult touches a diaper that could mean hardly anything or it could be this young person is a confirmed infantilist, or any spectrum of conditions in-between. Our advice to parents is to remain calm and provide the youngster with diapers. The reason is to prevent stealing, diapers or money to buy them. In most cases the youngsters discovers diapers are hardly always comfy and other people will tease about diapers. Consequently before the first bag of disposables has been worn, most kids find another interest.

However, if the youngster who had the courage to ask for a diaper is already a confirmed infantilist, in the actual world of mental health, that is a mental state which will be present the rest of the lifetime. In the real world of clinical practice patients do not present just because of diaper fascination. Infantilism does not exist in a vacuum. For example an infantilist could also suffer exhibitionism. That can be a legal problem, it can interfere with productive life and therapy might be mandated.

WKLD advocated providing the diapers so communication between parents, responsible adults and the infantilist remain open. Since there is no reversing infantilism, the goal is to inculcate common sense, discretion and circumspection. It is best to teach how to act-out with diapers and infantilism in the least dangerous ways possible. Start yelling and causing embarrassment and all that happens is the infantilist runs away, steals diapers and lies to hide the activity. Is that what sane parents want to do.

On some ABDL sites the concept of common sense if unknown. I post about providing diapers. I get a reply that nobody ever steals diapers. Then on another topic there are 100 post about ways to steal diapers. I hope most of the tales of stealing diapers from hospitals and day care are fantasy.

I've had this interest since I was three or thereabouts.

[Jabez]

I can remember wanting to be back in diapers as far back as I can remember, which is about 3-4 years old. I remember taking and wearing (but not using) my brothers pull-ups when I was between 4 and 5. I wore them around our babysitter and our parents with no thought of being embarrassed. And when I was about 7, I asked for diapers for Christmas one year and received them. I would wear them and nothing else around the house, not caring who saw me in them. Nobody ever gave me a hard time when I was younger and wore them. That solid foundation to diaper-wearing is probably why I'm so nonchalant about it now because I will conceal them, but I am not going out of my way to hide them. If people don't like it, I figure that is their own problem.

[spark]

While I never actually got to wear them beyond 4 years old, I've always had an interest in diapers. I was fairly late (past 4) before I was actually potty trained, and I do have a vague memory of being diapered when I was older than four. By my fifth birthday, accidents and diapers were a thing of the past- I didn't even wet my bed. I have a vivid memory of walking around realizing that I hadn't had an accident in a long time, and pooped my pants (it was my last accident, but first 'accident'). My mom didn't freak out, and just cleaned me up. From that moment, I was fascinated with diapers, and always wanted to get to wear them.

[mike indiapers]

I was potty trained late and wore diapers until I was 6 yrs old. I remember having very mixed emotions about being in diapers at the time, i.e. loved the security and attention that being in diapers brought me, but was very embarrassed about being an older child still wearing and using his diapers. Once I was finally potty trained and out of diapers, I started to miss them terribly and remember seeing other older toddlers still in diapers and wanting to go back to wearing diapers and being babied. The feelings have been there since and I would love to know more about why I feel that way and that wearing diapers as an adult to satisfy these feelings is ok.

[timmyc]

I can officially trace my diaper interests back to age six. Unofficially, I would say I neve really got out of them. I have been told by my mom that my brother and sister were pretty easy to train, but I was the one who had no interest in the potty and would stay wet/messy all day if she didn't change me. I think most true fetishist's carry it from early childhood. I think their is a difference between a true fetish and someone that may enjoy diapers but picked it up later in life.

at about 13 I absolutely stole diapers, we had none in the house and I had no money. I would go into the Montgomery Wards store snag one and put it on in the dressing room, a few from other families and even a couple out of the trash. The only time I ever got busted, I was in a drug store and was trying to figure out if feminine products were the same as diapers, wasn't even planning to steal on per say, just wanted to know what they were and opened a pack in the store.

[night0wl]

I was trained very early, at about 2yo. The only thing I remember about the process was complaining one time when my mum got some nappies out of the drawer while explaining "if you can't keep your pants dry, you need to wear nappies".

I was obviously keen to be a "big boy" then but I can remember being fascinated by nappies and wanting to wear them again as young as 3yo, less than a year later. I'm not sure how I transitioned so quickly, but I was totally obsessed. I would think about it a lot and even just the mention of the word "nappy" was enough to get my attention.

There used to be a kid at nursery who still wore nappies and sucked on a dummy (paci). I remember feeling jealous about the extra attention he got when the carers changed him. It was also normal when a kid wet themselves for them to be put in a nappy for the rest of the day. I used to get quite excited whenever this happened and considered wetting myself on purpose - I never did as I was too afraid of what my mum would say.

I always managed to satisfy my obsession somehow. I used to sneak out my old cloth nappies and try to put them on. Whenever someone with a kid in nappies came to stay or if we went to visit I would always try and find a way to sneak a couple of nappies out of the pack. It was a major blow to me when I got too big to fit into any kind of nappy or pullup available at the time. I felt like that was finally it and I had to accept growing up. It was a long time from then until recent years when I discovered the internet, the AB/DL community and online purchasing .

My interest I diapers definately started at an early age. When I was 3 or 4, I took part in diaper testing for a research company that was testing Pampers. The tests were definately not fun, but at the same time, I liked the attention. Starting at age 6 or 7 I would wet diapers with water and wear them in bed. I loved the feeling of a soaking wet diaper.

[Guest YkDave]

Im with most others here, my interests go back as far as i can remember. the oldest memory i have of liking diapers was actually not long after i was potty trained (hmmm maybe something there...)

I remember the first time (or at lest the first time i can remember) i wore a diaper again, i was about 4 or 5 and i grabbed one of my little cousins diapers when they were staying at our place. I went into my room and put it on, it felt great!

From there it was at least until i was 8 when i wore another diaper, we were over at my uncles house (which has 4 kids ranging from a couple years older than me to a few years younger) and to my surprise i saw a pack of diapers in my little cousins room (we were in there playing goldeneye on his N64, that game was awesome!) and i found out that he was a bedwetter! Anyways, long story short again, i grabbed a diaper and took it home with me

A few more similar scenarios took place into my early teens, then kind of hit a dry spell for a few years.

It wasnt until my later teens when i actually started buying diapers and wearing them regularly...

[Saladin1976]

When I was maybe 5 or 6 I asked my mom if I could wear diapers again. She thought it was cute and agreed. My father laughed. She made me take them off an hour or so later. I asked again the next night and was denied. I didn't ask again.

When I was in maybe 2nd grade, me and a friend of mine stole some of his younger brother's diapers, put them on, and used them together. We ended up doing this quite a few times. I wonder sometimes if he's still a DL. (Garrett B, from that small town in upstate SC, are you here?)

After he moved away I sometimes pinned towels on as makeshift diapers before bedtime. I couldn't use them, of course, but it was what I had at the time.

So, yes, you could say I was a DL from very early.

[Angela Bauer]

Okay, TimmyC, let me ask you: Obviously wearing diapers already used by anyone else is not only tacky, it is down right dangerous. The danger increases when adults reuse diapers because feces is a transmitter of HIV. Do you agree ways must be promoted so people do not need to re-use diapers worn by another?

Would you have preferred to have a relationship with your parents such that you could have gone to one or both and said you wanted to try diapers at age 13?

If your folks had given you a package of diapers in your size and told you you would pay for all subsequent diapers from your allowance, would you have considered this fair?

Do you agree it is easier to get along as an adult without a juvenile criminal record, especially for stealing diapers?

Do you strongly disagree with anything I have posted on DD about the whole When Kids Love Diapers information?

Thanks in advance for your comments, Angela

When I was little I can remember mommy changing me (cloth) and then later being embarrassed about the diaper stacker being in my closet at such an old age, I think I was like four or five. I wet the bed and mom used cloth on me until I out grew Gerber plastic pants. From then on I just wet the bed. But I remember being embarrassed that my friends would see the stacker, while we played with toys in my room, and think they were still for me.

As far as another boy knowing about my diaper fetish as a boy. I guess my one friend knew, he smelled them in my room and found one on the far side of my bed, on the floor. He asked what I was using them for and I told him that I was a bedwetter. He understood, hell he should have!!! I soaked his water bed once!!! ha ha damn that sucked, but I only chocked it up to a one time thing. Once he saw the diapers I think he put it together and figured me out. He never said anything but once:

We were looking at a porn and he, well,.... got off fast, and I was taking forever. He said I should get a diaper maybe it would help. He pulled up his pants and at the same time reached under the bed to my hiding spot and pulled a wet one out for me. He left me to finish my "deed".

Don't worry, I stole diapers from the trash too. There was a playground near me during my puberty years.
