First ABDL Diaper You Remember Wearing

[TrevieDaBaby]

Personally, I remember trying Abena M4 and Bambino Teddy as my two very first ABDL diapers when I first was starting out. This was back in 2013/2014. 

 

Would love to hear from others what diapers they remember trying first when they were starting out.

It was so long ago and my Daddy has put me in so many diapers since I can't remember. I guess the first couple over time have fallen off in my memory compared to the more recent memories of my Daddy diapering me.

It was just two and half years ago, when the first ABDL webshop opened in Hungary. I ordered a few different types and as far as I remember, the first was a Rearz Lil Monsters.

How are you defining ABDL diapers? I think Bambino was the first marketed directly towards ABDLs, but some older companies were ABDL friendly.

ONe of the cloth diapers from Carolyn's Kids. I had tried a "Buddy" throw-away as that was what I found in '79 but that no good. Then I tried the DPF Baby Heaven. Then came the Edley Enterprises, which was thicker and made of flannel and was the first real AB diaper. These were all OK but were not super thick. Then I experimented. The best conventional I could come up with was made by using 4 21x40 and 2 prefolds. The 21x40's were laid out so that half of each overlapped and attached, forming 2 units of 28x40. The 2 prefolds were attached along the center line of one of the units. The other unit was laid over the whol and attached to both the "soaker"and the edges to make a giant prefold. That was OK but still not what I was used to. What I was used to whas not a baby diaper, but a custom-made bedwetter diaper that was made from baby diapers by a lady who worked in a dressmaking shop who was good with sewing and things. So this is what came of realizing that

This was well over a decade ago. This may be the first AK diaper. The original of this was made before 1952 so it may be a proto-countour diaper. I can imagine it being made from 2 single pieces of twill or bird'seye folded to 4 layers each. The ones I use now have inserts made of standard Gerber prefolds. The chief advantage is that they use one pin. Sizing may be a problem as that was not figured in the originals. since they fit a wide range, you may just have S, M and L

Classy Comfort would be the first true ABDL diaper I wore. Bambino would come next.

Northshore MegaMax for me, I'm a heavy wetter when I'm little

Around the same time (2013/14) I ordered ten disposable nappies from Cuddlz. They had one large tape on each side which appealed to me and had very tall absorbent leg gathers so that leaks were unlikely. Happy memories.

I agree with Valentines Stuff, though Carolyn's Kids and Baby Heaven were out before Bambino and DPF did have a link to a babyish throw-away by 1986. I have a bit of a problem understanding things here. The title referred to "ABDL diaper". I would think this means specifically a diaper that comes from a company and is labelled ans ABDL or has some visible attribute. Such as Bambino, ABU, Rearz, SDK, or Carolyn's Kids. This would exclude Tena, which I have seen advertised to old people, Depends, Attends, or the like; anything that would be called a "brief" in public by the makers. This, my first ABDL diaper was a Carolyn's, which she got elsewhere but labelled her own. A. C. Medical was in a gray zone, he disclaimed any ABDL affiliation due to tax needs but personal correspondence in general, and whatr he said about the sample babydoll I sent him showed that he had a stealth interest treated as a hobby. Gary is another gray area. Some of their prints are clearly toddler and all could be interpreted as such, though they say nothing about being ABDL. Comco was ABDL aware and sympathetic. And a proper full-bore rubber panty would be babyish in shape though Comco diapers were not that babyish

So, in case I was not clear, my first ABDL diaper was the Carolyn's Kids, the second was Baby Heaven. The Buddy was not an ABDL diaper

After years of just wearing store brand/depends and goodnites, my first real adult diaper was abena M4s. My first true ABDL diapers were a mixed case of rearz. (Safari, Barnyard, Citter Caboose)

[JP403]

M4s and then bunny hopes

[Kipzie]

ABU Cushies, the original. I didn't like them though, they leaked.

@TrevieDaBaby: This won't be what you expect....

In searching for diapers that would work for my onset of adult of nocturnal enuresis, some of the cloth diapers I tried out were from a manufacture that supposedly supplied the same thing I bought to DPF as one of their specialty (i.e. ABDL) cloth diapers....

[oznl]

Nappies when I started out (I was a young child) were actual flannel nappies and plastic pants borrowed from supplies used by my younger siblings.  As I got older, this transformed into old towels and plastic bags etc.

The first actual "ABDL" nappies would have been 48" x 48" adult-sized terry towel ones that I bought from a shop called "Transformations" in Eversholt St London NW1 (just behind Euston station).  This would have been probably 1989 or 1990. 

They were actually super-high quality and I have the remnants of one or two of those today used as car polishing cloths.

To add to all of this, the precursor to the BabyDoll diaper was not an infant/toddler diaper. Therefore the BabyDoll cannot be an AB diaper. The precursor whas intneded to be worn under a someownat full skirt or dress by a little girl, under which it would be pretty invisiable. So it was fairly thick. The same is true of the BabyDoll. The precursor was a children's (bedwetter and social occasion) diaper. I would think AB diapers would also be thick. I have no idea about DL diapers because I do not understand DL's nor what moves them. The BabyDoll would be an AK diaper. So I would think that AK and ABDL diapers would fit best into a category called "Lifestyle" Diapers since they make no effort at concealment and would be quite showy, whereas the Tena's, Abena's, et al do make some attempt at being unobserved

Tossup between the original AB Universe Super Dry Kids (before it was sold to Strom) or the Bambino Classico.   Just can't remember which. 

[drynot]

The very first 'abdl' diaper I wore was Bambino.  Such a cool diaper.  That was a number of years ago now.  My very first 'adult' diaper was Attends.  Man...they were my world back in the day....

[wellpaddedagain]

First for me was an ABU cloth backed Cushie. Prior to that I used whatever medical grade diaper I could get my hands on. Typically Tena. 

[SparklyPrincess]

The year 2001 was a watershed (or should that be pee-shed) moment for me. I had moved away from home 2 years, we were just connected to the internet via dial-up and I bought Molicare Maxi, plastic backed from Hartmann, the European and UK distributors.

Now the REALLY important question: How about your first TIARA?

 

[tommyneedsdiapers90]

Bambinos classico. then attends before they became terrible. then the OG ABU diaper, the Luvs/barney rip off.

[Little Piglet]

Mine was a Bambino diaper. I can't recall what style it was though. 

[sleepy_baby]

Bambino was also my first real abdl diaper. Before that I wore depends and my gramma put me in pullups 

[Pampertimmy]

I think the first true ABDL diaper I tried was Bambino’s original diapers.

[Babygeebee]

For me it wasn't that long ago. My first abdl diaper was an ABU Little Paws. I was amazed how thick and comfy it was compared to the medical diapers I was wearing up until then.
