tgrdpr Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I'm really interested in our history as a community, and would love to hear any testimonies people have of related memories from that time. I imagine it was a lot harder to find other interested parties the further back in time you go. Link to comment
spark Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 If you're 25, you can't imagine. Until the internet, I thought I was alone. There was DPF, but they were so far out there that I wouldn't have felt comfortable. It wasn't until I found this website that I found a healthy outlet to process my desire to wear diaper. There are a couple of websites that I went to that I'm ashamed of, but they were the only resources available. FTR- i literally thought I was the only person who wanted to wear a diaper when I was 20 because nobody I knew did, and we never would talk about it if it we did. 11 Link to comment

ValentinesStuff Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I can't really comment on community early on, but like @spark until I was in my 20s I thought I was the only one. I found a copy of Letters magazine with a woman in a diaper on the cover. I bought the magazine and every other magazine with ABDL content I could find, this was the late 80s. Oddly nearly all the 'letters' were from women, so I initially thought it was a female dominated fetish. Then there was the 'talk show' exposure, which was bad. In the mid 90s I saw an ad in one , magazine for a CompuServe group for ABs, that was my first exposure to 'community.' After that websites began popping up. Some I miss, some I wish I'd never found. 2 Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Though there were things like Amber E/Mommy Florence as far back as the middle 1970's, you were pretty isolated and used what was available in phamacies and some department stores, usually the Salk "Pro-Pant", an AIO that was plastic on the outside, with a flannel inner and a flannel insert that ran from the front waistband to the rear waistband and felt a bit like a diaper and rubber panty but was generally bad, holding at most, two small wettings; really low-grade entry-level stuff but the only widely available "diaper". You might find the Kleinert's plastic panty, which had deteriorated to the point of using grainy material, and improvise a diaper. Some of us made panties out of trash bags. you might have tried adult disposables, which for me, turned out to be a no-go as they were TOTALLY alien: In short, you limped along, never really satisfied, but these were better than nothing. For us, born mostly before 1963, and this being c1980 decent 'rubber pant(ie)s" were a big deal since that is what were wore as babies and littles and that is what we saw on babies. You would be introduced to the community via an "alternative" "newspaper" like the PHOENIX via one of the classified ads for some, usually, AB catalog or club you contacted, such a s Carolyn's KIds. After a few months, you would be introduced to the Diaper Pail Fraternity, known mostly as DPF, later, due to so many baby and little girls being in the rolls, Diaper Pail Friends, which went nationwide from CA in the early '80's. This was predominantly newsletter driven and had a rostoer of members who were willing to entertain correspondance. It also listed dealers in products. It was DPF that coined the term ABDL and defined the different levels of "Adult Baby"hood to consist of infant/toddler, preschooler, grade schooler and touching on high school. They also began the practice of publishing and selling a list of dealers and providers. Though by 1989 they had a BBS on CompuServe, this was a very niche thing as few persons had computers and the use of these was complicated. 95% of goings on where hard copy. They had several publications and a line of AB items in the 1990's. There were other groups with ABDL thems, like BLADDER CHATTER, out of CT, they were small and usually very temporary. DPF did reprint some or all of the Amber E stories in the late 1980's. Stories were not as common then as now since you needed a good typewriter or word processor and everything had to be on paper and published, there were not html or txt files to just pop onto a computer for download or have a site put them on display For some 18 years, DPF was the Gold Standard for ABDL clubs until they started publishing letters from minors. They were also one of the first ABDL groups to go online in the 1997 timeframe. Apparently they folded in '05. As of this time, DD is the "Gold Standard" aka "the DPF of the 21st century" It looks like there will be a thread on ABDL history with the links to pages about that and a link from a certain Knowledge Base. This is a worthwhile subject This is why I get after people to participate since I came from a time when all of this would be AB sci-fi Speaking of what we have, I wonder if the rubber panty club should be deleted since it is badly broken and then a new one set up. Nobody seems to know what happened to the original founde-owner and what is left has none and does not tabulate members or fucntion as a full-fledged club 1 2 Link to comment

Snail-mail was a lot cheaper and there were bulk rates and that was all we had so that is what we used. As I said, in 1985, what we have now at the level of commonality would be sci-fi. This was 40 years ago back in the 8-bit, 9600 baud days. The basic equipment of what we have now existed, but it was fairly primitve and VERY expensive.

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Does anyone know how to use the Wayback at Internet Archive? to find BYTEMINE and the DPF website and other ABDL sites? Also, what happened to the Diaper Museum, and the planes to update and expand? I still have the Dress-Eze that I got on Ebay and some images of early Sears layettes and images of print ads, In fact, the whole interactive Rubber Panty Hall of Fame could be put there, which covers from 1871 to 1954, It could be espanded there to go beyond that range Link to comment
oznl Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Pre-internet (early 1980s) as a teenager, there was zero platforms for collective, anonymised communications so mostly we just all grew up imagining that we were alone. We figured it out on our own: how to make nappies using old towels, pins and plastic supermarket shopping bags seems to be an almost-universal experience. I had to leave the country to find out that my nappy thing was a “thing”. As a young adult, I found myself living and working in London where there were magazines: kind of. I wrote an account of the moment I found out that there were others. It’s published on my Fetlife profile at https://fetlife.com/users/445082/posts/1210796 I guess I could cross-post it back here if people are interested. Also on Fetlife, look up user "Diaperedkent" (with whom I've had the honour of meeting). Unfortunately, time got the better of Kent and he's no longer with us but his profile remains and has some excellent history of the "scene" in North America. I got access to the internet in the late 1980s via my employer’s affiliation with a university. This was back in the day before acceptable use policies and cyber-security. Nobody paid much (any) attention at what you did with your connection. I could telnet through to another university that carried a decent “Usenet” feed (a kind of text based bulletin board) and found alt.sex.fetish.diapers I'd be interested in even earlier ABDL. Presumably, ABDL has been around as long as have diapers to going back 100 years, they have to have been there. I've read articles that claim that the late Duke of Windsor (the abdicated King Edward VIII) was a practicing AB with Wallace Simpson. 1 Link to comment

I imagine it was a lot harder to find other interested parties the further back in time you go. @tgrdpr I'm going to base this response on what it was like for me back in the early 90s when I first moved out on my own. 295 I moved out on my own for the first time. Many many many months before that, I had this desire for diapers and for some reason had this weird funny feeling that I couldn't shake regardless of what I did. I would look at these types of sites secretly 'cause I didn't want anyone else to find out what I was doing because I didn't want them to be able to make connections that for some reason I was some sort of a screwball because I was looking at diaper websites. Daily diapers has been around for at least 25 years. When I became a member back in 2019, I already knew many of the members here because of the fact that they were longtime members and they were people that I could trust. There are so many places that were available back then that somebody would put up and then they would put stories and whole bunch of other stuff in there, and there was information on some of these sites, but none of the information that you would find would be as helpful as what you could get here. Some of the information that you find wasn't even believable, while others were as very believable and I know that there are plenty of sites out there where you would have people telling you one thing or another thing and it was different. Some of these sites made it sound like it was normal, while you end up with others that say that it is strange or bad or anything like that. Back then in the 1990s people were looking at websites and looking at Compuserve boards and other things, but web pages that were specifically geared to diapers and infantilism were not as popular and they were just starting to crop up I checked two or three moments. For some reason I would read these things on these boards and then realize that I was not the only person in the world that felt that way, and I found out that it was more popular than I thought and that there should be nothing to be afraid of. Although, back in those days if your parents were monitoring what you were using your computer for and what you were visiting then you would have been dead, but luckily for me I own the computer I paid for the connection and I had the ability to go and look at stuff online. I didn't have to ask my parents for permission to use the computer and all of that so I didn't have to worry about it. I know that I had the feelings I had back in the 90s, and I even had one of my roommates find out that I had those feelings come but she said that she wouldn't let anyone know about it, and it wasn't discussed very much. Don't know exactly what the heck caused me to think the way I wanted to think but for some reason I just wanted to find out what it would be like to pee my pants just like I did when I was a kid and then it just started from there. Little baby doll Christine is exactly right when she says how things happen back in the 90s: everything she said is exactly the way it actually was because I remember going to DPF and looking at different story sites, some of them believable some of them not so believable. Having people that say they enjoy wearing diapers or they wanted to wear diapers and then finding out that it wasn't as kooky as people would think it was. I then found out that there were other sites like daily diapers, and I knew about it for at least 25 years or more, and I was hesitant to join it because I did not want people to think that I was some sort of crazy fool. However, in 2000 and 19 in August, I made the decision to join because I needed the help, and I knew exactly where I needed to be right here on daily diapers. There is no other way that I could describe how I felt: I knew that this place would have the right information or at least more accurate information than some other places. I was familiar with many of the daily diaper stuff moderators and chat mods that were on the system, and I trusted them. I didn't join until 2019 because I was afraid of what would happen. Needed help I knew exactly where I needed to go and I signed on. Me several months to talk to several individuals and I kept talking to those who I trusted and then at the end I feel that I learnt that I shouldn't have to worry about it. Wearing diapers is no big deal having the feelings that you have is no big deal just have to be able to control them in an appropriate way, and that once you are wired that way there is no way you can just get rid of those feelings. I learned from experience that daily diapers is more up to date and more truthful than any other site on the Internet that is not putting things in a negative light This community is a very strong community and I'm proud to be a member of it, I just wish I hadn't waited so long before I realized what the heck was going on, and that I was having the problems I was but at least I don't have to worry about it any more and I can wear diapers because I need them and I don't have to hide it anymore. Hiding this thing was like trying to hide a stop sign in a green forest you just can't do it. Most people would probably think that were crazy thinking the way we think or liking what we like, but daily diapers was different. They opened their hearts and they opened their minds and they can help you understand a lot of things. When you don't understand what the heck you're dealing with, you need to be with people and connected to people that do. I knew that I wore diapers most of my life and that my brother did too, but for some reason I didn't understand why the heck I like diapers at 8 and why they felt so good or something like this, and because of daily diapers I understood that because there were people that were patient with me and answered my questions. Once I ended up getting to the point that I accepted what I was and all the things that I was dealing with, I started helping people on the server. I can say very proudly that I have helped many people in my time here and it has been a pleasure to do so. They say that it doesn't matter how old you are you always learn something new every day. I'm glad that I learned something every day and I'm glad that I understand more about the community the fetish and the reasoning and the feelings and all of that then I did back in 1995 when I first signed on the Internet and started looking this stuff up and was shocked to learn that people like diapers and they don't have to be babies and that adults can act like babies. I found that enticing and very interesting. Thanks to sites like this that tell it like it is and don't lie and don't try to make it sound like it is a crime, it is a lot easier to understand why I felt the way I did and who I felt like, and I'm glad that there are people that understand that there's nothing wrong with wearing diapers i've had people support me for years especially my case management team telling me that and I used to feel embarrassed but I'm not embarrassed anymore. I'd rather wear a diaper and pee my pants and all of that for the rest of my life then go through the hell of not having what I need because the best thing that you can have is a complete picture of yourself unfortunately it took me a long time to get to where I am now, but I'm glad that it kinda turned out that way because now I don't have to hide who and what I am and I can proudly say that I am an incontinent diaper lover. I didn't even know what ABDL was back in the 90s, and as little baby doll christine has stated there wasn't very many sites out there that was doing it because websites were not the the way that most of this was transmitted it was all hard copy through the mail, and websites didn't come into their own until at least the late 90s like 97 or 98. In fact my first website I built in 1998 in February. I opened BBUS in 2008 and there's always been a website on all of my domains since that beginning. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me over the years because it made me a better person made me be able to understand what was going on and if you understand what's going on you can then empathize and understand what's going on so some idiot that tries to pick on somebody because they're wearing diapers for example you can turn it around and tell them that the worst thing they can do is pick on somebody that's wearing a diaper if they really need it. Because of that I have learned that there are reasons why people wear diapers and you don't have to feel bad about it and you don't have to feel embarrassed about it it's just a fact of life and you should accept it and roll with it. Thanks to the good people here on DD that's exactly what I have done and I always will remember that wearing diapers is one of the many ways that you can deal with incontinence, and that most of the people that wear diapers wear diapers because they need to or because they want to and many of these people are very smart and very very quick witted and I love every one of the people that I have met and made friends with over the years. It really helps when you are part of a community that actually understands why you feel the way you do and all of this and it makes a big difference.

Little Sherri Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I was a relatively early adaptor when it comes to internet connectivity - I bought a computer, for the price of a used car, when I was in the 6th grade - a 386 upgraded to a lofty 8 MB of RAM - this at a time when the hard drive was typically in the 40-80 MB range. I had a 2400 baud modem, and then later a lightning-quick 19,200 baud. My sister used to disrupt my "browsing" by picking up the phone sometimes. Back then, you also had to decide if installing Windows was worth the space it took up. Despite having a computer at the tail end of my first go-around as an ABDL (although the "A" would have stood for adolescent, not adult), when I was crafting my own cloth diapers and hiding them under my dresser, and despite the fact that, at least once in a while, I was probably sitting in one of my homemade cloth diapers while I was on that computer, I never went looking for "this" - not out of fear of my browsing history being noted by someone, but because I genuinely believed that I was the only person on earth who wanted to wear diapers. Then, my stepdad found my diaper collection and yelled at me in front of my family, and I took a 20+ year vacation from wearing baby pants in any capacity. When I rediscovered this side of myself, Google was a nascent thing, and I had a DSL internet connection that was warp speed compared with the Model T connections of my youth, but still, I never looked for "this". My realization that I wasn't alone in the world (other than having read the odd article about a politician or, interestingly, a mobster, who was said to have a thing about being diapered), came when I decided to use the inter-web to find adult cloth diapers, which led me to two places: Rearz, and, this site. My mind was blown. An industry? A community? My God. I've said this before and I'll repeat it again - it was like believing that I was alone on a desert island for decades, and then walking over a distant ridge, and discovering a city. I wish I had known there was a scene in the 90's and early 2000's! 2 Link to comment

LGGrace Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Being a young millennial, only a few years removed from being a Gen-Z, I didn't know what an ABDL was until I was around 20, or 21 years old. It just never crossed my mind that anyone else could be into this, even though I was already buying goodnites and store-brand adult diapers. One thing that y'all did remind me of was it must have been around 2000 and I was 6 or 7, and was seeing what I now know as an ABDL on the Oprah Show. I just remember they showed a clip of him in just a diaper and my biggest concern was that he was way more hairier than my dad and the body hair is what grossed me out. Then when he came onto the show, he pulled down his pants to show his diaper and Oprah gave him diaper pats. Other than that, I have no clue what they talked about. 1 Link to comment
Pelusban Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 The Internet was available commercially only after 1989, and also the World Wide Web and the HTTP protocol was available only after that. Previously the Internet was a military and scientific project between labs and universities. That was the dial-in era with different standards and protocols and direct connections to individual servers and networks. Although I have never used these, I remember protocol and system names like Gopher, Lynx, Usenet, BBS, Minitel (France).

OK, before I bought that, in College, the academic computer center supported up to 2400 bps (600 baud) by "normal" modems, and some of the dedicated links to other sites were higher speeds (up to 9600 bps).

While the magazine seemed to have a fixation on amputee sex, The letter's magazine had at least one letter an issue about wearing diapers. Nobody has mentioned AOL chat rooms yet... and yes, picking up the phone would knock you off. AOL charged by the minute. You've got mail. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 This is the thread in the Knowledge Base to which to add links to articles about ABDL history that I mentioned was to be created in my first post 1 Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 In about 1986, I had one of the Amber E publications revived by DPF It had a line drawing of the baby pantie she was making in c1976. If someone has that and can scan or take a pic of it , it would go well in the ABDL history as the first ABDL rubber panties. I remember what the pic looked like Link to comment
Little_Mouse Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Lonely! I truly believed I was disgusting and mentally ill because I felt safe using diapers, pacifiers and hugging my stuffed animals. Dreamed back to when I was a little carefree child again. I thought I was the only one in the whole world with those feelings and needs I felt so alone and lonely inside 😢 ...and then the internet came and opened up a whole world for me and all the thousands who felt the same way as me 😊 2 Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 A few years back, someone posted 3 or 4 links to videos with interviews about the early days of ABDL. I would like to get those for the history thread. I was over at YouTube but with no luck. There also seems to be a dearth of history about adult diapers and rubber panties Link to comment
