I have a strong connection to the ABDL community and I find us very different from other communities.  This adult baby and diaper lover community is different kind of community because it doesn’t completely center around sexual connotations and ideas.  Many people who wear diapers are just doing it for the comfort, security, sounds, etc.  This is a far-cry from many other “fetish” or communities in my opinion because they focus more on the sexual side while the ABDL community does not focus on that as much.  Which, in my opinion makes us special and an outlier among all the communities.  I am honestly proud to be part of the ABDL community and to meet so many wonderful people.  And because I am feeling good – I included a recent photo below!

I know they are not that great…but hey, I was bored and I am practicing.  Lighting could be better but it hasn’t been sunny here very much lately and my rooms don’t exactly get the greatest lighting.  Plus, I am still learning how to use this camera.  Oh well, I am sure skill will come with time…hopefully!

Also, new feature coming soon to this blog that will allow you to register a username.

I accepted a long time ago that diapers were going to be a part of my life forever and I made the absolute best of it.  Now, I love diapers and can’t imagine my life without them.  They give me so much more then management for urinary and fecal incontinence; they give me comfort, security, and joy in general that I love.  Sometimes life gives you things that may seem like a curse at the time but honestly if you learn to embrace it and make the best out of it then it will usually turn out to be a positive thing in your life rather than a negative.  Life is too short to be filled with negative things, fill it with positives!

Supposively, birth defect incontinence is not as common as other forms of incontinence but it is fairly common in the overall statistics.  That is what I was told at least.  Honestly, if there was an operation that was discovered tomorrow that would fix my incontinence, I would not have it.  This is who I am and I have learned to cope and make the best of it.  It really doesn’t cause me that much trouble as many may think.  I mean the hardest thing to watch out for really is poopy diapers in really public and close quarter areas and the only thing there is I just don’t want others to have to “suffer” the smell if I do happen to mess my diapers.  But, even that can be managed with plastic pants which significantly reduces the smell.

P.S. Thanks to Calista for your question – hopefully this answered it!

I understand I am sure there are some who save them somehow to their computer and I am willing to accept that…but NOT distribute them.  If I continually find my photos distributed on other sites then I will not take photos any longer and share them on here nor anywhere else.  I like to keep my photos here and only here as much as possible.

I am sure there are going to be the negative people and say “well if its on the internet then its fair game” – don’t bother commenting if you are going to say that.  I copyrighted them for a reason and have gone to a couple measures to indicate I would not like them distributed everywhere.  Show a little bit of respect and courteousness for what other people provide, please.  This is the type of thing that makes me hesitant on sharing more photographs on the internet is because people go to great extremes and feel they can do what they want in this community and elsewhere.  If you are the one doing this – I would really appreciate it and warn you to stop.

Second, never just tell the person flat out that you enjoy and love wearing diapers.  Don’t put it like that.  Whether you you need diapers or enjoy them – the conversation should start out in the context of being for a medical issue.  So, basically if you don’t need them then you will be telling a minor fib or slight exaggeration.  This may come across as morally wrong to a few people and I understand that but it is also morally wrong for others to judge you.  Anyways, just say something along the lines of “I have a minor medical issue that requires me to wear a diaper at certain points of the day for added protection and it provides a sense of security for me”…obviously this statement needs to be tailored and “flowered” up to the person you are talking to but that is a good base to use.  Don’t come across like some obsessive and crazy person that just loves diapers with no reason other than it feels good because 9 out of 10 times the person will associate it immediately in negative light.  You want to provide the justification and reasons up front so that they do not assume and make their own conclusions.  You start out slow with the person and ease them into the explanation.  Don’t say “I love diapers because they make me feel good” – that will probably not get you too far in many cases.  Come off as nervous but confident and make sure that you tell the person that you trust them and think a lot of them to share something like this with them.  It makes that person feel responsible and almost at first proud that someone can trust them…it puts the ball in their court rather than yours.

The main thing I tell people is to have your reasons and justifications laid out up front and to make sure those reasons are not just that you like them.  Start out with that it originated from a medical issue and then go from there.  Use words like “security”, “comfort”, “de-stress”, and “calms me down” because these words are neutral and non-aggressive words that will make what you are telling them easier and put it in a more positive light.  A lot of what you say and how you say it has to be tailored and catered to that person though based on what type of person they are.

Note: If you are truly interested in coming out or telling someone then I will and am open to help walk you through it.  I have a lot of experience with it.  But, don’t contact me for help if you are not going to do it and aren’t serious about it.  I am more than willing to take the time to help you but just make sure you are serious about it.

“I tested the absolute absorbency of the Abena X-Plus and the Bambino Bianco by first weighing them dry and then weighing them after soaking them in water for 10 minutes, then letting them hang to dry for 10 minutes. I also did the same thing for the Abri-Let Maxi and the Bambino Quadro. I used a kitchen scale that measures to the closest 5g; not that it really mattered in the end, there was one very clear winner…

Dry weights:

Abena X-Plus – 185g
Bambino – 165g

Abri-Let Maxi – 70g
Bambino Quadro – 45g

Wet weights:

Abena X-Plus – 4255g
Bambino Bianco – ~6600g !! It actually exceeded the kitchen scale’s range so I weighed it on my bathroom scale (14lbs.) and converted the result.

Abri-Let Maxi – 620g – this had a lot of press out/runoff when I hung it up because it is mostly pulp. It also compressed in thickness as well.
Bambino Quadro – 1880g !! This one swelled to almost quadruple the thickeness of the Abri-Let !! I will post a picture to my gallery of the comparison. It is impressive considering the dry comparison pictures. “

So, this person experimented with water testing the absorbancy between Bambino Diapers and Abena.  They also tested the Bambino Quadro and Abri-let Maxi.  So, water is not a accurate representation of real urine.  If a saline solution (salt solution basically) which is more representative of urine was used then this would only make Bambino Diapers better.  Bambinos have made it clear they use a lot of polymer in their diaper (source: http://www.bambinodiapers.com/news/) and polymer reacts and absorbs better when a saline solution is used.  So, if the tests were done using a saline solution then the Bambino probably would have done even better than Abena using water. So, I guess the lesson we learned is that the dry weight thickness doesn’t always represent how absorbant it is.  It is more about the materials and technology used in the diaper that makes it more absorbant.  So, while the Abena may appear thicker DRY compared to the Bambino, the Bambino actually swells up larger and is MORE absorbant then Abena by a significant amount when actually WET.

Note: The test was performed by a user on Adisc.org

The Bambino Duo boosters are probably my favorite booster pad to use and I use them almost daily through out the work day.  The main feature about the boosters that sets it apart besides the amazing baby scent that is added that I absolutely love is the incredible softness of these boosters.  I have tried many other booster pads and nothing compares to the softness and comfort of the Bambino Duos.  Immediately when you take it out of its clean package you can feel with your hands just how soft the actual material is.  This is incredibly important when the booster is resting against the skin for any period of time as comfort as many diaper lovers and adult babies know is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing any sort of diaper product.  So, the softness of the booster pad when it is resting against my bottom is incredible – you almost do not feel the booster there because it feels like part of the diaper material.

Second, the Bambino Duo is specifically designed to fit into Bambino Diapers.  Though they will fit nicely into any diaper you use – they are designed to fit neatly into the Bambino Diaper.  All you do is take off the adhesive tape and stick it where you want within the diaper.  For me, being a girl, I place the booster pad in the middle of the seat of the diaper because that is where the main concentration of urine is collected.  For men, possibly putting the booster pad closer to the front of the diaper since urine first hits that area would be an optimal place to put it.  That is another thing, the softness allows you to place it against sensitive areas such as the genital region of men so that it doesn’t irritate it or anything.

Third, the absorbancy of the Bambino Duo is also a thing to marvel at.  I have never once leaked in a Bambino Diaper and I have added a Bambino Duo to them and its just an additional measure you can take to prevent leakage.  It absorbs a phenomenal amount of urine that in my estimate could probably last someone a whole day in a Bambino Diaper and booster pad, at least.  I have added the Bambino Duo a number of times to lesser brand diapers such as Attends or Tranquility Slimline and they have helped tremendously improve the absorbancy of the diaper.  The absorbancy of the Bambino Duo is probably one of the main features Bambino Diapers advertises about it because it was also specifically designed to hold a tremendous amount of fluid.  Many people in the ABDL community love “flooding” there diaper to the max and this product in my opinion will allow you to do that even more and feel even more babyish because of how the booster pad actually swells when it becomes wet.  Giving that nice bulky and babyish feel even more so to the diaper.

Finally, the pad is lightly scented with a baby scent to it.  In my opinion, I think the scent is just enough.  While, I recognize everyone has different thresholds for scent tolerance, I think the scent is perfect for me.  It is not too strong and not too light.  I personally stick them in my closet and/or drawers and close them up and they give my closet or drawer a nice babyish scent to it.  So, I like it.  It is no where near noticeable of a smell if you are out just walking around.  But, if you are just wearing a diaper and the Bambino Duo and laying around your house and you sit down or are laying there then you would definitely get little hints of a babyish scent now and again.

Overall, the Bambino Duo is another amazing product I think put out by Bambino Diapers.  It shows its committment to its audience which I think is one of the most important things Bambino Diapers does.  It listens to its customers and wants to make them happy.  I have always wanted a booster pad such as this because it extends the life of not only the Bambino Diaper but also some of my lesser diapers.  I highly reccommend you at least try the Bambino Duo because even though it may give off the look of a typical booster pad I think the material, scent, and absorbancy of the booster completely makes this an amazing booster.

For those of you scared to wear to work – I would say it’s almost impossible to be caught unless you try. Now, I am sure this depends on your profession but tucking in your shirt and typical work pants or jeans are typically good enough at concealing the diaper and most of the noise while allowing you to get the satisfaction of wearing a diaper to work. If you have any questions about wearing a diaper to work then feel free to ask.

Wearing a diaper to work in my opinion almost increases productivity because it just makes you feel good and when you are comforted and feel good then I find I do my work quicker and more efficient. Not to mention the fact it saves you trips to the restroom especiall if it is not conveniently available to you (I.e right across the hall). Just my two cents though – thoughts?
