An Adult Baby and Diaper Lover 'How To' Table

(Special thanks go to Stormbird, LilJennie, Orca, Ben Dover, Medicaltoys.com, VelvetDragon, Chipper, Pandr Panda, Draco Americanus, Proxima Centauri, Jimmy Lapine, Fox Cub, and many others for their contributions.)

Unlike the first three questions, the fourth concern often varies.   This is because it isn't a single "what", "why", or "if", but many "how"s.  These "how" questions are not difficult to answer individually.  However, because there are so many "how" questions, it may be difficult to find the specific "how-to" that you are looking for.  Fortunately, there are a number of great search engines available, as well as alphabetical and functional indexes that are specific to infantilism.  The functional index below sorts the how-to's by the goal to be achieved.

  Reader Comments:
  • Kovu asks Do you know if there are adult diapers with two tapes (one on each side that is)?They arent truly practical for adults, so most places will only carry four or six-tape diapers. However, there are still the odd exceptions. One is Safe Comfort, that still lists SureCare diapers on their website. SureCare used to be made by a division of Tyco (according to the bag I found at a thrift store one day). Independent thrift stores are usually good places to find less-than-current diapers.
