Percentage of adults who are diaper lovers

What would be a guess of how many adult people are diaper lovers?

If you had asked me that question when I was a teen say, I would have said, 1. But finding a magazine called Nugget, and a few years later the internet, I discovers many, many others. There may only still be a few around any one town, but that adds up. I really couldn't guess on the number though. So many AB/DL's never come out, or would talk of it.

Umm about 1000000 adult people that are diaper lovers give or take lol a lot of people

Maybe they should put a check box for this on the next US Census.

I would guess 1% and growing. I've met too many people who've made comments that led me to believe they are closet AB/DLs. I think the proliferation of bedwetting protection has made it more common.

I once like most everyone thought I was the only one, but I know thats not the case. I don't think we will ever know it being something you just don't talk about family and friends for the most part would think there is something wrong with us mentally. and letting it out would damage our character and peoples perception of us. For some life would just be forever changed and not for the better. Anyway I would like to have a true estimate number of us and would like to maybe meet some others just to really know Im not the only one.

I am an AB but also really luv cloth diapers and plastic panties.

I have a feeling it is more than we will ever know.

There's no way to really know, because most DLs are never coming out, even to loved ones, and will never go on record as being this way, except in anonymous forums such as this one. The rejection, humiliation, embarrassment, and career-threatening factors are just too severe. And I think about the only answer one could give is that there are probably orders of magnitude more ABs and DLs than we would imagine.

Among the fetishes, there are some that are more acceptable and respectable to discuss in society than others.

"Playing doctor" or medfet, e-stim and other sex toys, S&M, bondage, role playing and age play can probably be discussed pretty freely. Cross dressing starts to go over the line in what would be considered acceptable. As an enema lover, I will say, enemas and diaper wearing, especially defecating and urinating in the diaper are probably the least acceptable fetishes to admit to in mixed company. Wearing diapers for fun is one thing, but defecating and urinating in them for fun and continuing to wear them takes the fetish much farther from societal norms.

I think the percentage of enema and diaper lovers is VERY low. As a fetishist, stating one thinks diaper lovers or enema lovers is a significantly sized group is nothing more than an exercise in mendacity, trying to legitimize what we like to ourselves.

The fact that adult diaper sales are up is no indication that people are becoming diaper lovers. People buy those products because they HAVE to because they are incontinent.

I beg to differ as cross dressing is now becoming more acceptable as lingerie companies like Homme Mystere and Wish Room Men’s are selling bras and panties specifically for men. I also would like to say that I think the percentage of those who are willing to admit they are interested in certain kink/fetishes is low. In my state there is to my knowledge 10 people that I know lives in my state but none of them lives in a reasonably drivable distance. I must assume that there is only a larger number then we know of because others are likely unaware of these communities. I don't have anything against what you said merely the way you said it. It sounds like a reasonable statement based off of what you have seen over the years. I like your post it makes sense in most ways. I feel I have to assume that there are more out there then we know of. There are far to many variables to take into account as to why people do what they do.

Being heavily involved in the abdl thing, like others I"m always looking for the renegade dl out there. I've come across them at work, at play and everywhere I look. I've even come across a story on the net that directly points to an ab in my neighborhood. And that is out in the country. If you consider that only a small percentage of abdl's would EVER go out into the public due to social pressure, there's got to be a ton of diaper lovers out there. I believe the root cause of the dl fetish is created in early infancy. Diapers feel GOOD! and we never forget that. I suspect that the abdl thing is far more mainstream than ever suspected.

Susie I think the number of people who like enemas far outnumbers those who like diapers. I think the extensive number of colon therapy clinics speaks to this. I have never heard anyone speak about diapers as a kink outside of this forum. I have no opinion about those who love diapers myself. To each their own said the old lady as she kissed her cow.

It's too bad there isn't some sort of national (or world) central registry, where anonymity is absolutely guaranteed, where participants wouldn't be required to give an email address or other identifying information, and where we could register as ABs or DLs (or both). The results would be made public daily, and then we might have some idea of the actual numbers of those involved in these paraphilias. Other than that, anything else is just an inaccurate guess.

Susie,

I agree with most of your comments but I still wonder about the large number of enema equipment sights that are apparently flourishing. Someone is buying this stuff. I have to believe,if they are buying.... they are using, therefore I think there are more of us than you believe.

Course

The neat thing about enema fetish is the fact that it is considered a totall "Health" activity. It's really easy to stop in and have an upper colonic and write it off to your good health. A total cleanse baby! No more toxins for me. I'm gonna live forever.... I have to wonder how may guys get a raging stiffy during their "treatment" and what the person employed to give them thinks. Heee Heee...........

Metoo, while I do not subscribe to the "health" benefits of enemas, I do expect to live to be 150 years old. . . .

. . . .or at least have a good time before I rot in the ground.

I started as a diaper lover D/L. My wife and her girlfriends have used that to move me into a completely different fetish. Although based with diapers I have been totally changed into a fetish dominated subject with no mind of my own to what happens to me. Yesterday I was made to stand in the corner in a wet diaper and wait for them to change me. Instead of a simple diaper change one of the girls road my ass with a strap on to so how pathetic I was and then re diapered me.

I was lucky not a lot of wetting growing up.When I got much older started having accidents wetting my pants regular basic's.I was not a dl at that time but when my wife said diapers were now mandatory after yrs have become a dl due to the secure feeling and avoiding the bad accidents.I guess the % is high.

I don't honestly think there are a lot of diaper lovers out there. However, there seem to be a lot of adult diaper users which includes those for reasons beyond simple pleasure. It would be interesting to see how many per specific age group. It's projected to consumers that adult diapers are for those over 65 or whatever comprises a "senior citizen".

Whether it's mendacity (great word) on my behalf or not, I think disposable/protective undergarments are growing in use by those who are pre 60s. Since I've been using "protective briefs", most of the people I've communicated with about it are younger than me (pre 50) and say they started use in their teens.

Anyway, this is difficult of not impossible information to collect as it is such a personal thing.

My answer to this is pure economics - demand and supply.

Adult magazines and pay-sites have production and running costs which together with profit have to be recovered from sales.

I would suggest that there has to be in excess of several tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands or millions in any currency spent monthly. It certainly adds up to a vast hard core of followers. Then add on the fringe followers and the number of 'kinkies' swells exponentially.

What I am trying to say is that there are more dl's out there than you think!

nn

I am a former AB turned DL after an accident that rendered me incontinent. Regardless I love cloth diapers and plastic pants.

I think there are a huge number of people who have DL tendancies but 99% of them haven't taken the plunge yet.

I am guessing it is still a fairly small percentage of the population based purely on the (relative) scarcity of diaper related porn. "There's lots of great diaper porn sites!" I can already hear people saying, but please hear me out. We think there's a lot because we (some of us at least) search it out, and what seems like a lot is really just a handful of specialty sites catering to us. If you go to a general porn site or even a fetish site, content pertaining to diapers will be very limited if offered at all. Compare that to "popular" kinks like feet, bondage, leather or even rubber/latex or peeing which are all easier to find than diaper porn.

I don't think porn sites is a good measuring stick because the majority of DLs at leat I think don't go searching out diaper porn it is more of a personal enjoyment
