Q&A With JohnnyPup

 [CWIS'S NOTE] Up today I have a Q&A from Jonathan. Check out his answers and give him a follow! Thanks, Jonathan! 

Want to do a Q&A? More than 100 members of the community have taken the time to complete the questionnaire and share their ABDL origins story with the community. If you're interested, email abysitter@gmail.com and put "Q&A" in the subject, I'll reply with the questions. 

Q&A With Johnnypup

Name/Nick: Jonathan "Jon" "Johnny (little name)" 
Age: 25 
City/State/Country: Greenwood Lake/NY/US 
AB/DL/BabyFur/Other? Both AB/DL + baby/kidfur   • 

When did you first realize you were ABDL?

When I was 3/4 for liking diapers, 22 for my abdl side of things.

What steps did you take to get your diaper 'fix' as a child and/or teen?

I used to steal my brothers' diapers up to age 6 when my dad caught me.  When I was a teen there was a pack of huggies in my grandparents' house and I used those up!

Do your parents and/or siblings know about you and diapers? If so, please explain how, and how they reacted?

They do not know about my diaper side minus whatever they remember from my childhood.

Have you dealt with the shame and regret that is the binge/purge cycle? Please explain.

I only had that with porn, but I have not purged my diaper stash.  I did upgrade my size so I was wanting to find a way to sell or give away my mediums without throwing them away!

How has this fetish affected your social life and/or dating? Married life? Parenting?

I haven't really been comfortable with opening up to vanilla hookups/dates, but I feel like if I'm going to invest in someone they have to be ok with my fetish or it may cause some conflicts.  I also feel like I can get past it if I really love the person, but they have to know that'll always be a part of my life.

Some experts believe that we become the way we are because of traumas experienced at an early age, including abuse and/or neglect. Do your life experiences bear this out?

Neglect 100%. Not particularly my parents' fault, when I was 3 my mother had triplets so I went from the only child/getting attention every second to being put on the back burner.  I remember coming out to where my parents and grandmother were, a baby in each arm.  I was already potty trained but to get attention I walked out in just my underwear and messed myself.  That really showed my parents I was crying for attention.  These experiences have also soured my relationship with my brothers, don't get me wrong I do love them, but I never really tried to get too close to them.

Some people have pointed out their observation that a larger-than-average number of multiple birth babies (twins, etc.) rep the ABDL lifestyle. If you are one of these, please explain what effect, if any, you feel this may have had on your ABDLishness.

Not a multiple, but I have identical triplet brothers which aided in my diaper passion as explained above lol

For the little dunces, please tell us about what it was like to discover this fetish/lifestyle on the Internet. Please be at least 18 at the time of writing, but be specific about what age you discovered it, what sites helped you, and keep this part PG for obvious reasons.

I was 22 when I found out about adult diapers.  I looked it up on google to find baby printed ones for adults and discovered ABU.  Then I went from buying diapers and little clothes to opening up some social media, I have a Fetlife account I post on sometimes and have a Twitter for my cub/baby fursona.  • Do your interests involve a subset of this community, such as babyfurs, diaper disciplinarians, wet/messy, sissybabies etc.? Please tell us about it. I won't even try to be specific here; just tell us what you think people should know. -I am definitely a furry, and I feel like it's from all the animal movies I watched as a kid.  I have a husky fursona!  I'm also into wetting, and messing too, tho it's kinda hard to mess while still living with family.

What % of your sexual activities and/or masturbation incorporate diapers? Has this caused problems for you?

90%, mostly because a nice wet diaper is so good to sniff and bury your face in.  They also act as good cum catchers hehe

If you get into the regression aspect of ABDL please tell us more about that. If you do not, and you have feelings about being lumped into a fetish involving it, explain how it makes you feel.

I regress frequently, especially at night when I'm in bed snuggled up to my teddy and wearing my usual cute shirt + diaper combo, though some nights I have to have a onesie on!  Regression is more of a comfort thing to me than a sexual thing   

Don't let yourself be limited by my questions. If you have anything else at all that you would like to say please feel free to say it here:

I think things like this is good for the community, some of us feel like we're alone on this journey, but seeing how big the AB/DL community really gives my heart hope that we can see safe spaces for us all to be who we are without judgement.  I hope to maybe one day find a caring mommy or daddy on the future to go to cons and luncheons with, really get immersed into the ever growing community of babs and diaper pals!  Thank you for the opportunity to answer your questions ❤️

Don't forget to give Johnny a follow on Twitter:

COMING SOON!

Spotlight: Casey Strom & ABUniverse

[CWIS’S NOTE] Up today I have an interview with Casey Strom, CEO of ABUniverse. Casey is a long-time member of the community, and has been owner of ABU since 2015.

Have spotlight ideas for me? Email me at abysitter@gmail.com.

CWIS: You’re generally considered to be the Steve Jobs of the ABDL world, a magnate of sorts in the adult (baby) diaper manufacturing business. Can you tell us a bit about how you got started with ABUniverse?  

CASEY: Around the time I was 18, I began doing some marketing work for the previous owners of ABU assisted with some product launches. I lost touch with them for many years, exchanging at most pleasantries around the holidays.  In 2013 or so, the company I owned at that time moved into an office building that had an attached warehouse, and by complete coincidence, ABU was the occupant of the warehouse adjacent to us. I reconnected and offered assistance.  After going on a long out of state trip to another one of our offices, I returned to find that ABU had jumped their lease, and there were tons of complaints everywhere online about them not shipping orders out. I made a few calls/texts to the owners, but didn’t hear anything back.  I knew that they were going through a divorce, but the wife ran things day to day at ABU. In 2015 I was able to reconnect with the husband to discuss some possible career changes in my life, as his day job and mine were in the same industry, and I was more or less looking to see what the job market was like. We had dinner, and over the course of many hours of talking, the conversation kept swinging back to him suggesting that I become a turnaround CEO for ABU, as they had been trying to sell the dying company without much success. I just joked they could not afford me.  Over the night, I did ponder the very real possibility of buying it outright. I talked to my family and decided that it could be a very wise move, or it could be something that if it didn’t work, we would allow the brand to finally come to a complete halt and die. After A VERY crazy 48 hours, I bought all of the assets from the company (remaining inventory, customer database, intellectual property rights, etc). Within two hours the company was shut down so we could begin to sort out the mess.  The next few weeks were unimaginably insane. Finding out the scope of damage done to customers that didn’t get their orders after paying and waiting many months - and in some cases years. It was all very shocking. I had some amazing help at that time as a new team formed to carry the company into a new era. On April 22nd 2015, merely 47 days after closing, we launched with a new warehouse, new team, new logo, new inventory - at that point I knew the insanity had been worth it. 

CWIS: Are you a ‘little’ yourself? AB? DL? Pup? Tell us a little bit about your own persona, if you don’t mind? 

CASEY: I am a little - maybe a bratty 4 year old. I’d say I'm equal parts AB and DL. From a young age (maybe when I was 4? 5?), I found the familiar scent of the grocery store diaper aisle intoxicating and a sign of something more I should discover about myself. Feeling funny when I saw a diaper commercial on tv - that was something. I recall having those feelings as early as when I was being potty trained. As soon as I had access to the internet with a little bit of privacy, I knew pretty fast that I wasn’t alone in these feelings.

I’ve resigned to going 24/7, as it is something that I’ve always wanted to do and I really have no reason not to, and that is something that brings me a lot of comfort. 

CWIS: A lot of ABDLs notice that the community seems to be exploding in numbers in recent years. Without giving away any corporate secrets, has your customer base grown as well?

CASEY: Definitely. We’ve seen massive growth in the way of new customers each year. I believe that right now, more than ever, there are more ABDLs discovering themselves and figuring out that they can explore this side of themselves. I credit the many resources out there that help people realize that they don’t need to be ashamed of having a fetish or merely a desire to regress. 

Early on after buying ABU, I had a call with a retired veteran of the Army that had been deployed in Iraq doing surveillance on strategic targets in a heavily armored vehicle. They would go out on missions for I believe around four days at a time. He said that they didn’t exactly have the ability to stop at the corner store, and they would become vulnerable if they were to leave the inside of the vehicle. The Army had issued his squad diapers for toileting use - specifically tabbed briefs. He said that after wearing and using the diapers, he began to keep them on overnight because they were almost like a security blanket of sorts. He shared with me that when he returned home he did a little research and learned that he did in fact identify as a part of the ABDL community. Unfortunately he also shared that his wife was very upset with this and left him, but he had newly partnered with someone that was very accepting of his desired choice of underwear. 

This story, and several others that I can recall, really lead me to believe that this lifestyle, hobby, or whatever it is that you wish to call it, is something that can be discovered at almost any point in life. Something as simple as a smell or possibly even an adverse life event could spark someone’s curiosity towards a bit of googling and discover wearing diapers might be something worthwhile to try.

CWIS: You’ve been a sponsor of some major ABDL events, including TeddyCon, CAPCon, Tomkat, and the West Coast Jungle Gym for several years, and I know ABU has donated prizes for some smaller events around the US. You even sponsored the grand prize in my 2018 photo contest. I know you do the same for events in Europe, as well - Club Diaper, and some others. How much of ABU’s marketing strategy consists of your sponsorship of, and/or placement at, these events?

CASEY: Community involvement and engagement are a huge focus for us. We don’t go to an event with the objective to make money - we are there to build relationships and introduce our products to those that may not have had the opportunity to try them before or they have not tried our full range. I strongly think that a company's leadership team should be visible and engaging with their respective community, and these events are a way to do just that. Even if we can’t be at all of the ABDL events that happen worldwide, even just showing people we care by sponsoring from afar is important to us. Then when we are able to make it to that event in the future, there is a bit of familiarity already. Seeing the 2020 calendar wiped clean due to COVID-19 has been a real bummer for everyone, but when it is safe to do so, we’ll be right back at as many events as we can make it to!

On another note - I am also a photographer and will often offer a hand to help capture the events that we are involved in. Being able to capture people enjoying themselves in their care-free element is really important in my opinion. I’ve acted as an official photographer for TeddyCon, Tomkat, and some other smaller gatherings worldwide. 

CWIS: Is COVID-19 posing any challenges with regard to supply chain? How is the Novel Coronavirus affecting us getting our ABDL products?  

CASEY: On the manufacturing side: Every year around the Chinese New Year (end of January), production at nearly every factory halts for 2-3 weeks. This year, the diaper factories just didn’t reopen. As COVID-19 spread, the need for supplies to make masks sore through the roof, and a lot of those materials needed to make diapers cross over with those to make masks. We didn’t see supply on those materials start to equalize with demand until nearly the end of March, and then we saw a massive price increase on many raw materials. During the summer was when we started seeing our inventory levels show some semblance of “normal”.

From our warehouse to the customer: In our warehouses, we took very harsh steps to ensure safety of our staff. From having staggering schedules, to not allowing walk-in customers, and even having A and B teams in case someone on one of the teams became sick so we could quarantine appropriately and switch to the other team working. There were a lot of changes for our team, even affecting packing efficiency, sometimes it even became difficult to get every order onto delivery trucks for the day. These factors caused us to suspend our shipping cutoff promise until a closer to the “normal” state returns. Once the package actually hit a truck, the shipping networks are all seeing massive delays as well. Speaking for the USA, our primary shipper is FedEx, but we also use UPS and USPS depending on the situation. Every single one of them has suspended guaranteed shipping dates. It has not been an easy task dealing with each of these challenges, and I suspect others in our industry are facing similar sets of challenges in how ABDL products get into a customer’s hands. 

CWIS: What product that you make (or have made) are you proudest of?  

CASEY: Without a doubt, PeekABU/Simple Ultra. We brought to market a new technology that allowed us to exceed the 5000ML capacity, and they reigned for many years as the most absorbent diaper in the world at an advertised 6250+ ML capacity. I personally feel like it has been and still is revolutionary to offer a product with unprecedented security and capacity, a product our customers can really wear without worrying about the things we shouldn’t have to like leaks or tapes.

CWIS: Any particular product in your line you wish you could go back in time and not introduce? 

CASEY: During our ABU 4th event, I announced a new product called “Pretty Possums”. Not everyone saw it was all in jest and good fun, and somehow, I continue to get genuine requests for when these diapers are expecting release. We very much wish to avoid misleading our customers in such a way and did not intend any hints at a marsupial themed nappy for ABU’s future. Unfortunately, these pampered possums will continue to be very much a parody of pretty pinkish proportions and continue to have no plans for release.

CWIS: I see the @ABUNappies tweets all over Twitter, and I know that you’ve got a deal with Diaper-Minister that make your product line readily available in France, as well. Where else are you, and where would you like to be in the next few years? Where do you see the biggest growth in the ABDL market for diapers/various products?

CASEY: We never really planned to operate in the European market without some form of assistance. There are so many diverse nations, languages, and cultures across the European continent, we were apt to create fantastic partnerships with a few stores and brands, much like with Yannick and his team at Diaper-Minister. With their help, we’re able to extend our products to as many people as we can. There’s a reason why the quote once in our “About Us” page mentions ‘World Domination’ as our goal; we strive to go where any community is willing to support the ABU brand and wish to be there sustainably and responsibly. There are many other great relationships that have allowed us to expand into other countries of the world. Taking a page from Starbucks, it’s always been extremely critical for my team and I to ensure that no matter where you are in the world - when you place an order, you have the same great experience no matter if you’re in Tokyo or London. Quality, customer service, and consistency are huge for us to maintain globally. This is why we very much tend to keep the relationship between ABU and the customer, instead of working with networks of resellers globally.  I will tease that we do have a new location preparing to open in another country as we speak, but I can’t give anything away at this moment!  In terms of new products we’ve come to realise the unique position and privilege held by ABUniverse and other ABDL brands. For most of my team their idea of a vintage diaper is an Abena M4 or a 3 tabbed Attends -  but we now have a new generation of younger ABDLs that have always had access to custom products, designed with them in mind. We want to have fun with them, growing great ideas that have a life beyond being just a diaper, like the PeekABU caps. They’re a great accessory to show others in the know who you are and we think there’ll continue to be great ideas and products that see ABDL brands blend more ‘lifestyle’ items with their core line ups and it’s exciting to see new brands emerging in the space too. Right now we have fulfilment operations located in Australia, Canada, Japan, Great Britain and two within the United States. 

CWIS: Tell us a little bit about your team? Who’s behind ABU besides Casey? 

CASEY: How much time have you got?! I think I could easily dictate a book on how proud of our team I am. We have a family of really passionate littles from all around the world. Not only does our team work their padded little buts off for ABU, but they’re also involved in their local communities. Whether it’s supporting the local munch or working to bring about a first ABDL Con in their home countries, I’m very proud of everyone’s spirited contributions! 

Whenever a customer interacts with us online they’re most likely talking to one of our Customer Service & Communications team members either via social media or directly on ABUCares.com. Collectively this group of dedicated crinklers creates a lot of what I would call the ‘voice’ of ABU. If you encounter a problem, have a question, want to make a suggestion, or wish to reach out and simply say hello, these dedicated waddlers are on the case and ready to help.

ABUniverse’s inner workings are composed of a diverse team with experience gathered from all over the world. From serving their countries to running venues and even holding serious leadership positions in their respective fields, these associates bring all that passion and experience to the table and continue to push us forward and onwards daily. When we’re managing and creating designs for new products or even managing logistics, (You would not believe how much work goes into getting diapers from the factory to your doorstep) some team members work with big brush strokes while others focus on the tiny, beautiful details - both combine into what I believe makes ABUniverse a solid brand we all can be proud of. Their collective diversity, experience, and strength make it all come together. 

[Note: We don’t typically use real names as doxxing is a real issue. I’m the sacrificial lamb in this regard.] 

CWIS: Two of the complaints that we often hear from ABDLs about their favorite ABDL diapers is that they sometimes go out of stock, and that they sometimes vary in quality - tapes, plastic, etc. - and even in size. I don’t think there’s an ABDL diaper company that hasn’t been affected. What are the challenges, from manufacturing to distribution, that cause this?

CASEY: We sell a lot of diapers. Every time we organize a new production run, we aim bigger and better than before and still, somehow, it’s never big enough. We are continuously humbled by the support from the community and find ourselves blessed to be in such a position. As recent as this last year we’ve set personal goals in keeping key product lines (PeekABU, LittlePawz & Super Dry Kids) available and in stock at all times, even beginning to expand that promise to other products until Covid came along. With production runs in such large sizes and combining it with manufacturing being overseas we do occasionally get unintentional deviations from a previous batch. We own that, and then work to make it right with any unhappy customers and communicate the changes to people as effectively as possible. We will always work to make things right with our customers and have enough confidence in our products to support them right up until you throw them in the trash!

CWIS: Anything that you are working on that you can share with us?  

CASEY: As of right now, we’re working on revising a few old favorites. One of the best things about diapers is they come packed with tons of great tech that most people don’t comprehend, and that means we can always improve methods of production and deliver better products than we had previously. We’re working on standardizing sizing across as many of our products as we possibly can. We’re also working to make our sizing both more consistent across all our lines, but also to implement more inclusive sizing options, making our products more available for a broader range of people across the community - extending beyond S/SM/M/L/XL! Both are ultimately long term projects, but they’re hugely important to us in our path towards the ABU of the future.

CASEY: In closing - I think i’ve got the greatest job in the world. It can be immensely stressful at times. Most years it has me travelling globally 3-4 months of the year. I have the privilege of working with people I really care about that I know have my back - and working with ABDL ‘stuff’ all day is a pretty crazy awesome thing! I really appreciate the opportunity to participate in this Q&A.

Q&A With Joel

[CWIS'S NOTE] Up today I have a Q&A with Joel. You probably know Joel from Twitter (@thatlittlejoel).  He's a 19 year old college baby who's active on the platform and always coming up with fresh new content. Give him a follow after you read his story! Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions, Joel! 

Want to do a Q&A for my blog? Email me at abysitter@gmail.com - just put "Q&A" in the subject, and I'll reply with the questions. 

Q&A With Joel

Name/Nick: Call me Joel

Age: 19

City/State/Country: Wisconsin, U.S.A

AB/DL/BabyFur/Other? I lean further on the AB side. However, naughty thoughts come around sometimes so slightly DL. I would say 90% AB and 10% DL.

 

When did you first realize you were ABDL?

So, I was a bedwetter for the better part of my adolescence, from 2 years old, when I was potty trained, to about 14 and 15 years old. During my time of bedwetting, I wore pull ups and it was embarrassing. Whenever I made friends I would have to have the talk about my bedwetting when the eventual sleepover happened. Most times they were sympathetic and I even knew a few people who were also bedwetters. I did not have any traumatic experiences while bedwetting thankfully. Bedwetting was just something embarrassing that lingered a little too long for my liking. When I finally, finally beat being a bedwetter I felt something I was not expecting. I felt myself missing being diapered. Now it did not happen right away. I was happy I was not a bedwetter anymore. I did not have to worry about going to sleepovers and putting on a pull up secretly. But diapers started growing on me. Little bits here and there, diaper commercials, stories online, going to the store and circling the baby aisle. Eventually around 15-16 I fully grew into it. I liked diapers.

 

What steps did you take to get your diaper 'fix' as a child and/or teen?

I had a steady supply of siblings, people who had youngsters come into our home or people’s houses we went to. Like I said I was a bedwetter for a bit. I had goodnites until I stopped bedwetting. After I stopped bedwetting, I had a few pull ups left that quickly got used. After the goodnites were depleted, I stole pull ups from my sisters who were just beginning potty training. I stole diapers or pull ups from friend's houses. Even though I wanted diapers, I never got diapers that would not fit me outright. I mean they did not totally fit me considering, but I never got diapers or pull ups that were way too small. I do not know why, considering I could have taped them together or just put them in my underwear. Anyway I digress. It was nerve wracking stealing those diapers, obviously, sneaking into a baby’s room is weird enough and then taking diapers I mean if I got caught, which surprisingly I never did, would be devastating. Eventually I was too chicken to steal from my friend's houses. However, what is most probable is my conscious kicked in. Eventually I got a job, coincidentally, as a custodian for a daycare. I mean if you are reading this you should know where this is going, I took diapers. I was lucky enough to have that job for most of highschool but as I grew the diapers stopped fitting. So I boldly bought throw away gift cards from walmart and bought adult diapers from the internet.

 

Do your parents and/or siblings know about you and diapers? If so, please explain how, and how they reacted?

Oofta I cringe about this, I have gotten caught a few times. The first time was when I was 14. It was winter. I just received a new phone and had been spending an awful amount of time on it. My mother one night asked me what I was doing and I was reading a diaper story on zity.biz. I quickly went out of safari and played dumb saying subway surfers or something. However, I did not realize about browser history. I think you can figure out what happened. Parents confronted me about those stories I was reading. I honestly do not know what I said to defend myself, all I remember was my safari was disabled and I was not able to go into the internet for a while. I was 15/16 when I got caught the second time. I found tumblr and started to find myself on there, I snooped the abdl’s on tumblr, in the beginning staying as an anonymous user for a little bit. As I started to become accustomed to tumblr I made an account and started just re-blogging content and just talking about my day. Nothing really exciting. Soon after, I found the age regression community and started to interact with their user base. I felt like I belonged there. I talked to others around my age and felt as if I could call some of them my friends. My dad found my tumblr. He wanted to go onto my phone for whatever reason and I let him and what do you know a notification popped up while he was on it. So of course he clicked on it and saw my profile and all that jazz. GOD I wanted to die. He talked to me minimally about it just asked what I was doing and whether it was healthy. I said it made me happy. It made me feel as if the world was a less scary place. He left it at that. He thought it was a phase The last and hopefully final time was when I was 16 I was close to turning 17, it was spring. I think what brought about this one, was someone died at our school and then someone committed suicide so the whole school was mourning and just being generally depressed. Now I did not know either of the people well but the emotions of everyone else got to me and I was not doing well emotionally or physically. I do not recall well what brought them to snooping around, all I know was they asked if I should go to therapy and whether the diapers and onesies and pacifier was again healthy or productive for me. I denied that I needed therapy, I was just sad and that those things just helped me cope. My dad looked up online and kinda said to me, “if this is not dangerous for you and if this helps that’s fine, just know as you grow up, how are you going to keep doing this if you have a wife or kids?

 

Have you dealt with the shame and regret that is the binge/purge cycle? Please explain.

Oh... My... God.. (chandler bing) yes I have. I can tell you it is not productive, you would think after the first time or even the second you would get over it. But NOPE. Each time I purged I regretted it. In the beginning when it was just me, it was not so bad. I threw away a diaper or two and that was that. But as I started going onto social media, started buying more and more stuff it became worse. I deleted tumblr multiple times, I got rid of tons of diapers, threw away onesies galore, it was so unhealthy. When you are flying high it feels like nothing can touch you, but then something in your brain just clicks or someone finds out and the world comes crashing down on you. You feel yourself not expressing yourself, closing yourself off, just being negative or putting on a facade. Now I am not saying ABDL is everything to me, but it is a part of me. When negativity and questions of what ABDL is, you do not know how to answer. How do you answer to someone or to yourself why you tick this way or why you feel the way you do? And sometimes it is just too much and you throw it all away.

 

For collegebabies/DLs, did this interest affect your college experiences? If so, how?

It does not affect me significantly. Packing and moving is a pain because, “Well, hello, why is there a diaper in your clothes?” is something I do not want to go through. You gotta find ways to diaper up discreetly and throw them away. But, if anything, being at college has given me more freedom. I do not have to think about the print of my onesies, because nobody will question a dino onesie, it may just be my brand or a fun shirt I found at goodwill. I do not have to worry about the crinkle of the diaper because nobody pays attention to that. Nobody knows me, and they do not know I am trying to hide something from them.

 

How has this fetish affected your social life and/or dating? Married life? Parenting?

Socially not much. I definitely have wanted to hang out and be a part of the ABDL community in person more and more, but it is hard for me to go out and do that. I do not go out much so it is hard for me to find others who share the same interest as that. I am still growing though I still live at home with my parents and I am okay with that but eventually when I am out of college I want to go out and find people who are a part of this community. My current friends do not know nor do they really need to, I do not think it would be productive to tell them. As far as the dating scene goes, I am a single pringle, dating is not really on my mind at the moment. I, definitely, get lonely sometimes and think about how awesome it would be to have someone to share this same interest but it is not something I would actively seek out.

 

Some experts believe that we become the way we are because of traumas experienced at an early age, including abuse and/or neglect. Do your life experiences bear this out? 

Yes and no. I was adopted, however I was adopted at an age where I do not remember it, so honestly maybe in the way back of my head it is subconsciously laying the ABDL foundation. I have had a few moments of hey maybe it was this, my mother had cancer when I was 8 and I had to take care of my younger siblings but it was not something that scarred me. My mom said, I became curious about where I came from and I had an idea, of oh how fun would it be to meet her, but not something I adamantly wanted. You know kids being kids and dumb stuff throughout my life maybe could have triggered it. But honestly in truth I have had a very privileged life! My parents love and care for me, they want me to succeed, and live a healthy and active life. I have twin brother whom I love dearly, five younger siblings, four sisters and another brother, all who I am thankful for. I have grown up with everything I have ever needed and things I have wanted. My life experiences do not really reflect that in the whole scheme of things.

Some people have pointed out their observation that a larger-than-average number of multiple birth babies (twins, etc.) rep the ABDL lifestyle. If you are one of these, please explain what effect, if any, you feel this may have had on your ABDLishness. 

I mean I am a twin, but I do not think it makes a big difference, more of a coincidence. I think maybe if anything how many siblings plays a part and how much responsibility you have helps with ABDL. If you are the oldest or have the most responsibility, you feel obligated to set an example and maybe you just do not want that. You want to be more carefree.

 

For the little dunces, please tell us about what it was like to discover this fetish/lifestyle on the Internet. Please be at least 18 at the time of writing, but be specific about what age you discovered it, what sites helped you, and keep this part PG for obvious reasons. 

So I tried very hard to not interact with this community until I was 18, I am not going to lie it did not work. I did some dumb things and really I regret it very much. Diaper.Bois is one I found by chance. I read stories from Zity.biz and SoFurry. I found some artwork on youtube and other sites that I cannot recall. I found myself on tumblr and then twitter stalking my favorite people. Honestly the things you can do through the internet are crazy nowadays. My parents had the foresight to take away my internet for a bit so I mean I could not get into trouble for a while. So I guess I was lucky enough to not make bigger mistakes

 

What % of your sexual activities and/or masturbation incorporate diapers? Has this caused problems for you?

So story time, or not really story more of an anecdote. I made a decision to try and limit and separate abdl from sex. Part of it gave me an excuse if I got caught, like no this is not a sex thing it is a coping thing or something along those lines. It also gave me a way to separate it from pedophilia, which I know a lot of people would think not knowing about abdl. There is a stigma to it and I wanted to try to negate that. I see ABDL for me as an outlet to just let go and feel innocent and sex is not a part of it. Now that does not mean I have not masturbated in a diaper, I have, but I try not to do that as it makes me feel gross after.

 

If you get into the regression aspect of ABDL please tell us more about that. If you do not,

and you have feelings about being lumped into a fetish involving it, explain how it makes

you feel. 

Just the innocence of letting go and letting yourself be free. Sucking on a pacifier and

being content. A comfort item or blankie to hold or wrap yourself with and feeling all warm

inside. Taking pictures and posing in onesies and overalls people telling you that you are cute

and so precious. Playing with toys and creating a world to play in. I mean there are so many

more examples that just make me melt. Just knowing and having something you can escape to is

lovely. I get to experience being a child even though I still really am a child. Life moves too

quickly to grow up and I want to experience moments where I do not have to be an adult.

 

Don't let yourself be limited by my questions. If you have anything else at all that you

would like to say please feel free to say it here:

 

I honestly cannot believe I am a part of this community. I have met so many cool people online and I cannot wait to actually meet them in person one day. You get to experience cool things. I never would have imagined working for an ABDL company, and it is all because I love taking pictures. I get to open up about ABDL and share my experiences. I am just so happy to be a part of such a fun and diverse community!

Q&A With Iker Nash

Name/Nick:  Iker Nash
Age: 28
City/State/Country: Mexico City
AB/DL/BabyFur/Other? AB/BabyFur

When did you first realize you were ABDL?

I had always been childish and love cute things, when I had 13 I still love using cartoon underwear and cute socks, I had to admit I was a little bit obsessed with them, I found the abdl community after thanks to a picture of a guy using diapers and that image blow my mind away! Because I found that I can be even more childish using cute printed diapers.

What steps did you take to get your diaper 'fix' as a child and/or teen?

Luckily my little sister was using diapers at that time so I used to take 1 or 2 per week and use them under my undies, then I had to move out to study in another city strangely it was harder for me to use when I was going to college than when I was living with my family.

Have you dealt with the shame and regret that is the binge/purge cycle? Please explain.

I have only do it once, it was at the time that I was going to the university, I started living with my boyfriend as he was also a foreign student.

At that time, I wasn’t involved with the abdl community as everyone seems to live in other countries and I wasn’t too good at English, I really wanted to start using diapers more often and be treates like a little kid so I decided to told my boyfriend about it.

It takes me a really long time to gather the courage to tell him, I was really embarrassed about it, sadly he doesn’t accept that part of myself and as I was really young (19 years old) I really try to change that part of myself but as time has passed I found that I was trying to force myself to be someone I wasn’t.

It takes me many years to come back and be part of the community, I am really grateful for all the brave littles that comes out in Tumblr 10 years ago and all the people that started making blogs, groups and conventions they really inspired me to be able to feel myself and share the joy of been abdl with others.

How has this fetish affected your social life and/or dating? Married life? Parenting?

My life has become so much better as I started doing lots of abdl parties and also play dates with other littles near me, I am so happy to be able to meet so many great people in the community.

Also I have found that been more honest with myself help me to gain lots of confidence and have a good equilibrium in my life, I also have fun hanging out with the colleagues I made in my professional life.

For the little dunces, please tell us about what it was like to discover this fetish/lifestyle on the Internet. Please be at least 18 at the time of writing, but be specific about what age you discovered it, what sites helped you, and keep this part PG for obvious reasons.

I was 20 when I rediscover the abdl community on Tumblr, I remember the first tumblr I follow as mostly crotch pics of diapers and everyone hiding his faces, but as the time goes by some littles started to take more regression pics and I was amazed to see how they enjoy that part of his life so freely, I remember getting super excited when I see the first pics of Tomkat and Capcon.

It became one of my biggest dreams to go to an abdl convention and be able to enjoy with others, I have reach my dreams this year and it was an awesome experience, so awesome that I decided to do the first abdl camp here in Mexico! It will happen in a few weeks with all the necessary sanitary precautions, wish me the best of lucks as I am planning to do it every year!

If you get into the regression aspect of ABDL please tell us more about that. If you do not, and you have feelings about being lumped into a fetish involving it, explain how it makes you feel.

I love regression a lot, for me it’s a way to learn more about the feelings, specially to feel joy for the small things and also be able to express playfulness and love, it’s a great way to feel free.

Over the last year I have found that I enjoy more when I am able to share a regression with others I love inventing fun games, reading cute books, coloring and playing a lot in the park. 

I love meeting new friends you can find me on Instagram, Twitter and Telegram as Iker Nash feel free to say hi anytime!
