LL Medico Diapers and More Bambino Diapers - ABDL Diaper Store

Are we a bigger community than what we think?


Recommended Posts

I think it's actually smaller than what I usually assume.

If by store front you mean actual shops, I can think of maybe 3-4 that I've heard of which isn't all that much. Due to the nature and scarcity of this fetish they have a large catchment area. So one shop could draw people from miles and miles away.

I don't think the storefronts are a good judge of the size of the community. We are a kink, and kinks are niche markets. The fact that so many diaper boutique sites and ABDL etsy shops have set up camp on the internet means that more and more people want in on the pie because they have seen how much money we tend to spend on our kink. I don't think it will last though. Like BareBum Diapers being absorbed by ABU, we are sitting on a bubble. What isn't absorbed by bigger groups like ABU and Rearz, or shifts business models (like Tykables switching its focus to its clothing range), will inevitably disappear as supply outweighs demand. We are a bigger community than we used to be, but we are not big enough to support all the new companies sprouting up like weeds.

In particular I've noticed that several vendors of plastic clothing have cut back on the number of items they have available in the last year or two.

I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a white Lucille plastic apron and a clear t-shirt from the German vendor

I think it only seems bigger because we are ABDL aware. Since we are always looking for different things for this kink we are always searching and being involved with communities like DD we get more access. 20 yrs ago it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Well, me, personally, a few of the sites I know of, have turned out to be owned by people that are into ABDL that I've known on FL and otherwise for some time. Personal favorites are theabdlshop.com , littleforbig.com , onesiesdownunder.com , cosyndry.com tykables.com , bambinodiapers.com , abuniverse.com , and cuddlz.com there are so many, and most of them that I know of (all the above) are run and owned by ABDL people.

Seems like the market for ABDL specialist diapers is bigger than we might imagine. I suspect there's a lot who aren't active on social media sites, and even more who have not explored their interests at all.

Personally I do think there some significant changes going on. Over the last couple of years there are more and more companies who started to produce diapers that are specifically meant for the ABDL community. Some ten maybe fifteen years ago there were none around at all. There were companies around whom were ABDL aware and took nicely to us, so yes I do think our community is bigger than we think. All the manufactures of these diapers do have to make a living so they need a specific number of customers in order to survive. Not only that, they have to share the clientele amongst all manufacturers. I am not sure if they also manufacture medical graded diapers or if they produce solely for the ABDL market that would make a significant difference. Now DD has over 37.500 members. I know a couple of groups in Europe that are quite big all and all quite a few members worldwide but not all of them will buy these diapers some like medical grade diapers for they are usually cheaper some like cloth and the list goes on. Bottom line. Yes I do think there are quite a few of us at least enough for some companies to decide to start to produce diapers especially for the ABDL community and make a living. On a worldwide scale, not so much.
