Sad news indeed - however I did sometimes find the staff there to be a little rude sometimes during collection.

Apparently some of the other mobility/medical shops in the area were very unhappy that they were selling fetish items, irrespective of the fact that many non ABDL customers use them.

A big loas to our Island anyway! 😢

Always a bedwetter, so drynites and then adult tena nappies were a regular feature throughout my childhood. I often got put in them for long trips, cinema, when naughty and sent to bed. I grew up on a rough council estate - it was normal for stuff like this to happen.

Disaster aged 17 - Leukaemia. 18 months of chaos and hospitalisation - left hospital completely incontinent due to the treatment and environment. Extended hospitalisation was interesting - incontinence and nappies were an expectation. Most people in my ward seemed to freely wear and use them with very little fuss.

My mum worked in the care sector, so it was very normalised for me to be 24/7 in nappies following my hospitalisation. A visit to our home gave away quite obviously that somebody was incontinent, as incontinence pads, nappies and plastic pants were out in the open. When in public, she had no issue checking or asking me if my pad was getting heavy or mentioning it if she could see it getting swollen under my jogging bottoms.

Most of my friends and family saw me at some point during my treatment and it was very obvious that I was wearing a nappy. It was accepted fully, no shame or judgement. They were just happy that I was alive.

I discovered ABDL during university - it gave me comfort and purpose. I felt safe and content that I was alive and cancer free.

Through my 20s - went to university, lived in student halls in my first year in a disabled unit. Met my best friend who was autistic and ABDL due to being a bedwetter. Both met girlfriends, both also became part of the community and moved into a 4 bedroom student house which was great fun.

15 years on - Married to the same girl, still 24/7, estimated that I’ve filled 27,000 nappies since my hospitalisation - 27,001 by time I submit this post!

I’m based in Suffolk - I want to make friends. I’m not interested in a relationship or hooking up. I just want to find people who understand the lifestyle, who live it fully and want genuine friendship.

How often do you think caregivers for disabled people or parents of bedwetters unintentionally end up purchasing ABDL diapers or related products because of their quality and performance, without realising they’re fetish items?

I know of at least one example - my best friend, who is ABDL and works in adult care told me that the family of one resident buys Tykables products because they’re the only nappies that reliably prevent leaks for that person.
