Mike, I never meant to disparage any incontinent person for any reason. I was just saying that I can't believe the fetish crowd is anything more than a tiny number compared to the true number of incontinent people. If an incontinent person finds a way, anyway, to make their life happier...go for it. It's just that many here seem to believe that the abdl crowd seems to adversely affect the rest of incontinent people. I never heard of them before I became incontinent. But I did know people were forced to wear diapers because of many conditions. Too much time is spent on an issue that deserves little or no attention. Papa
Oh, I understand, and what I said, was pretty much my feeling on it.
However, I do agree that they have helped get some improvements to some supplies, and as someone that knows adults that are also mentally children, due to severe mental handicaps, even the print diapers they have gotten made for adults have been a hit with the true child adults and their caregivers.
Take for point, a 26 year old with severe autism, and total incontinence, his mother found the prints in a design he likes, and it makes changes and taking care of his incontinence a lot easier for her, as instead of fighting at changing time, he is eager to get a new design. As much as they can get to be a pain, with their fetish, I admit that they have been a help in some regards. But, as you said, not as much as some people make it seem like.
Out of people that buy incontinence supplies, I'd put the AB/DL group at maybe 25%, and that is being generous.
