Today I got the first entries for my upcoming photo contest! That's what's up!!!

To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I had hoped that nobody would enter, and I could snap a pic, submit it, and keep these three awesome diapers, the plastic pants, and the gift card for myself.

I guess that wouldn't be ethical.

JK! I wasn't disappointed... I was excited, because that means people are starting to mull over their photo ideas.

Remember... I haven't finished figuring out how the voting is going to go yet - this is my first contest, after all - and I don't know yet if I'll be asking people to choose their best picture, or maybe allowing more than one if the pictures are very different.

That said, the numbers will stay in order, even for the voting. Here are pictures #1 and #2 and #3.

Send me your pics, and I'll number and post them as they come in. Don't be afraid to send one now and one later... or two now and three later... or - well, you get the idea.

Thanks to my anonymous contributor (keeping it fair!) for these examples of adorable ass marketing!!

Contest: Should There Be A Limit?

WWW.CONTEST.ABYSITTER.COM

Just wondering what you guys think about my one-to-a-customer entry limit?

Someone commented on my previous poll announcement, suggesting that it doesn't seem fair that I'm allowing people to send as many pics as they want but then making them choose just one for the actual contest voting period.

Remember, this is my first contest. I've never done one before, haha. I'm making up the rules as I go along. My main objective is to make this as fair as possible... and, to make it so everyone has some kind of chance to win.

I'll announce more about how the voting will work, plus a few more prizes, in the coming days.

In the meantime, let me know what y'all think. I'm leaning towards allowing people to submit as many pics as possible, but only having one for the contest - but maybe allowing more than one in the pics are completely different?

Please vote in this poll, or click "comment" and let me know what you think. Or, as always, email, YIM, SMS, etc. are okay too...

Cwis

Should I allow one pic per entrant, or more than one?
	One is plenty.
	More than one is okay if they're all different scenes.
	Why limit us?

CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT! First Ever Abysitter Photo Contest!!!

Announcing the first-ever

Abysitter.com Photo Contest!

Deadline to Enter: June 30, 2012

Voting: July 4th through July 14th

Winners Announced: July 15th

THE PRIZES

GRAND PRIZE: A SET OF THREE CLOTH/VELCRO DIAPERS

FROM NEVERGROWNUP. 

This set is a set of three diapers: small, medium, and large.

That means the winner will need to find some

diapered friends. 

(Group photoshoot? Hehehehe...)

S - Puppies

M - Happy Frogs

L - Blue Solar

SECOND PRIZE: A SET OF THREE PLASTIC PANTS

PLUS ONE BAG OF GENERIC DIAPERS, SIZE MEDIUM

 

These diapers were left at my place by an ABDL friend 

who was traveling from out of state. 

They are unopened. 

But we sampled another bag. 

And they suck. 

They look cute, but they leak like a sieve.

Still... they are free diapers. 

And with the plastic pants, they look... hot. 

THIRD PRIZE: A $25 BABIES R US GIFTCARD

OR GIFT CERTIFICATE

AT ABDL MERCHANT OF YOUR CHOICE. 

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

ALL THREE WINNERS ALSO RECEIVE A WRITE-UP IN THIS BLOG

(WHOA! ARE YOU SERIOUS, CWIS?)

AND... 

A GUARANTEED ABYSITTING SESSION

UPON THEIR NEXT VISIT TO ORLANDO. 

(HIT ME UP FOR DETAILS). 

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO...

Looking for the most adorable ABDL pictures out there. 

There are only three criteria:

1. You must be wearing a diaper. 

And the diaper must be obvious.

2. Your face cannot be shown. 

In fact, the picture should be anonymous. 

That means no face, no username... you get the idea. 

3. The words 'Abysitter.com' or 'Abysitter' 

should appear somewhere in the photo. 

And we don't mean photoshopped in...

...in the actual photo itself. 

My goal is to have pictures from loyal Abysitter.com blog readers

that represent this blog - 

and, in the spirit of rampant photo theft,

to show how hot anonymous diaper pictures can be. 

You can crop off your head. 

You can obscure it with something - anything, really.

You can face away from the camera. 

But your face cannot be shown. 

Note: no face cutouts, swirls, or black bars...

...please be a little more creative than that. 

THE RULES

See above:

Diapers yes. Face no. 

Abysitter.com or Abysitter in the pic. 

Plus...

1. Must be 18 or older. 

2. Void where prohibited by law. 

3. No prize substitutions. 

4. By submitting your picture you give permission for me to post it on my blog. 

5. Everyone is eligible. 

6. No, I will not help you win if we are friends. 

7. No, I will not keep you from winning if you've been a little bitch to me in the past. 

8. No cheating or vote begging. Let's keep this fair! 

9. You can link people to the contest. Tell them to vote for whichever picture is their favorite. 

10. Rules are subject to change. 

I will be posting these pictures as they come in. 

During the voting period, 

I will repost each entry in one entry, along with the link to the voting page. 

You may enter as many photos as you like, 

but you must choose just one

by voting week. 

Group pictures are welcome! 

I want to thank you, in advance, for coming up with some cuteness.

If you have questions about the contest, 

please email me at abysitter@gmail.com. 

PLEASE LINK YOUR FRIENDS!

The link for this contest is http://CONTEST.abysitter.com. 

Please help me spread the word!

SPECIAL THANKS: Baby Spencey and Baby Gus for the use of their photos.

Baby Pictures: Baby Spencey

[CWIS'S NOTE] Today I got the best kind of email to get: one with adorable diaper pictures. I just love getting fresh new diaper pics in my email, especially when they are new and haven't been posted anywhere else (or even seen by anyone else). Sometimes they're for sharing... often they're for my eyes only... but pictures in my email... FO SHO!!

Today I heard from a friend who got to do some big bro/li'l bro time with one of our favorite contributors, Baby Spencey. I'm attaching his message, and the pictures he sent me. 

From Darrin:

Back in April I was fortunate enough to spend a Saturday with Baby Spencey. He was the lil bro and I was the big bro. He wasn't able to act as an adult unless we left the hotel room so we spent the day coloring, watching cartoons, I fed him his bottle (full of liquor...oooops), and spoon fed him. We also both went out padded so we could buy him some baby food. I got to take some pics of him and he wanted me to send them to you to put on the site so here they are! Sry there aren't very many, we just had too much fun playing I guess!

regression does for many of us.

Summer Reading...

I am working on my Guide to #ABDL. I've been doing a shit ton of research. Today I came across something that I'd seen before, back when it was first published around 2000, 2001. I remember that someone posted it on a diaper forum on DPF.com or somewhere, and I read the article. Twelve years later the article is still online, and in trying to find more information on Transactional Analysis, and how it relates to diaper fetish, infantilism, and ABDL I started looking for more information. 

The book is called All My Children, and it's by a woman named Jacqui Lee Schiff. Dr. Schiff was the "mother" of Transactional Analysis - a type of therapy designed for those deemed in need of it - typically people who are schizophrenic, or who were schizophrenic in Dr. Schiff's eyes at least, depending on who is telling the story. 

In TA, the "patient" - Schiff would refer to them as her "children" or her "babies" - would move into her XXXL house and undergo "therapy" wherein they would essentially be diapered and forced to live as newborn babies. 

Well, forced may not be the right word. Some clearly wanted to be there, wherein others did not. 

The patients ran from ages seven to twenty-seven, tending to be in their early 20s, and Dr. Schiff would actually legally adopt some. This was in the 1970s and 1980s, it seems, and this did not raise red flags with any kind of medical governing body the way it might today. Even after a patient was scalded in the bathtub and died, Dr. Schiff was considered a darling in the TA community. 

She was, in essence, the first ABDL mommy. 

Imagine being schizophrenic - or, according to her critics, not all that schizophrenic - and undergoing therapy in which you are diapered, and forced to use diapers around-the-clock. Your "mommy" is very strict - if you forget to call her "Mommy" she may take off your diaper and spank you with a paddle or beat you with a whip - and there are "corner contracts" you must sign before you can even begin undergoing your "treatment." (Some people were said to spend hours a day in the corner... naughty, naughty.) 

Not only did Dr. Schiff treat her "patients" this way... she held retreats for other therapists and they, too, were required to Pamp up. (If you read the article linked at the bottom of this entry, you'll read how one therapist was punished for refusing to poop. Eek!) Doctors, it seemed, could not wait to get diapered by this woman, and many went on to practice this type of therapy with their own patients. 

Dr. Schiff was banished from Virginia, where she'd begun practicing, after the aforementioned patient death. But she took her practice to other states, and then to the UK, and finally India. 

She is dead now, but it's said that there are others offering this type of therapy, although it's mostly fallen out of favor here in the US, for obvious reasons. 

Today, however, children from war-torn regions are sometimes still treated with a similar treatment path. There is a school of therapy which advocates taking children from places like the Balkans - children who tend to be super-angry, sullen, disobedient, and detached - and treating them as infants. They are called R.A.D. kids - Reactive Attachment Disorder kids - and the idea - taken in part from Schiff - is that a combination of ultra-strictness and infantilization will help them overcome their distrust of adults. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, but there are quite a few foster parents who are counseled to do it - and I imagine some members of our community are RAD Reparenting refugees. 

The description below is from Wikipedia; there are much more detailed descriptions out there, and one day I will write an entire entry on this, including a 'guest entry' from someone who underwent this as a teen. For now...

Attachment therapy is a treatment used primarily with fostered or adopted children who have behavioral difficulties, sometimes severe, but including disobedience and perceived lack of gratitude or affection for their caregivers. The children's problems are ascribed to an inability to attach to their new parents because of suppressed rage due to past maltreatment and abandonment. The common form of attachment therapy is holding therapy, in which a child is firmly held (or lain upon) by therapists or parents. Through this process of restraint and confrontation, therapists seek to produce in the child a range of responses such as rage and despair with the goal of achieving catharsis. In theory, when the child's resistance is overcome and the rage is released, the child is reduced to an infantile state in which he or she can be "re-parented" by methods such as cradling, rocking, bottle feeding and enforced eye contact. The aim is to promote attachment with the new caregivers. Control over the children is usually considered essential and the therapy is often accompanied by parenting techniques which emphasize obedience. These accompanying parenting techniques are based on the belief that a properly attached child should comply with parental demands "fast, snappy and right the first time" and should be "fun to be around". These techniques have been implicated in several child deaths and other harmful effects.

Notice how that last statement is just kind of thrown in? 

The reason this is not used more often is because of several deaths which have occurred. One involved a young girl being held down under a blanket in a "rebirthing" exercise. She stopped breathing. Go figure.

The above passage no longer mentions the part about the caregiver forcing the patient to wear diapers - and permit toileting only with the caregiver's permission. I'll find that passage and include it in a future entry. But if you read the article about Dr. Schiff, and then read the passage above, you'll see that Dr. Schiff was a pioneer - and others followed, and still use her techniques today. 

You can read the article A Most Dangerous Method from the Chicago Reader here. 

The article has a lot of information that's not necessary for the piece, so try to skip past it. But you'll want to read the whole story if this is something that interests you. It's pretty fucking fascinating. 

I don't know how I feel about being forced to live as an infant for the treatment of schizophrenia. But I do think it would be a sweet, sweet treatment for depression, anxiety, and a whole lot of other mental health issues - for consenting adult patients, of course.

How do y'all feel?

Sonic Blaster Causes "Involuntary Urination"... hmm.

From Business Day Online:

Polish anti-hooligan squads are ready for the European championships in Poland and Ukraine.

The football fiesta which starts on June 8, have squad members armed an array of weapons ready for potential trouble-makers, from testicle-biting police dogs to sonic cannons capable of inducing involuntary urination.

The English-language Krakow Post newspaper asserted in an editorial that local law enforcement agencies were more than ready to tackle any hooligan threat at England's southern Poland base camp.

English fans who are known for hooliganism are not expected to arrive in Krakow in significant numbers, with England's Group D games all taking place in Ukraine.

You can also read it in the UK Sun. 

Or read the original article in the Krakow Post. 

Want to read more about these cannons that make people urinate involuntarily? Click it. Apparently you can purchase these, although the link from this article isn't working. If I find it I'll post it. Everyone out there talking about wanting to become incontinent... I got you covered. ;)

UPDATE: Apparently you can build your own. Click here to find out how. Be careful!

Product Alert: A Steel Trap for Stink?

Introducing... the ubbi diaper pail. Billed as a "steel trap for stink," this diaper pail is said to use regular trash bags, and keep the stench of wet and messy diapers out of the air that we breathe. Best of all, it's stylish, and comes in all kinds of colors... the perfect compliment to any nursery. I'm considering ordering one... if anyone else has tried this, leave a comment or hit me up! To visit their blog, just click the pic.
