I've been lurking here for a few weeks and toying with the idea of diapers on and off for years but I decided to sign up and introduce myself because as of today I am now an official card carrying DL. Yes. I bought my first ever diapers today, at the age of 34. Yep, they are 'gateway drug' diapers that I am sure all of you here look down your noses at but hey they are still diapers and any diaper is better than no diaper! (well technically they are pullups, but to a newbie like me it's still a diaper).
Anyhow my first buying from a brick and mortar supermarket was both exhilarating and an anti-climax at the same time. I grabbed a pack of Tena Pants and a pack of the largest girl's Drynites (after circling the supermarket a few times until nobody was in those aisles), then I grabbed a couple of other things that I actually needed and headed to the self checkout.
I seriously expected something weird and embarrassing to happen. Like the nappies wouldn't scan, or somebody would look me up and down as if to say "yeah, we've got us a pervert here" or the store alarms would go off as I left and security would have to search my bags. But in reality all that happened was I walked up to the checkout, scanned the items, bagged them, paid and left without a hitch. And nobody batted an eyelid, despite the supermarket being way more crowded than I had planned, despite the nappies being the most conspicuous items in my basket, despite the fact that I had to wait in line.
I know most here order online, but since I've suffered from a crippling fear of criticism my whole life that has denied me so many things I wanted the experience of buying in person was truly liberating. Not only did I get my haul to enjoy, but I actually feel as if my self esteem has increased. (don't worry I'm sure I'll be in designer online only diapers before long!). But it's interesting and ironic that being DL actually helped me grow emotionally.
So that's my introduction:smile1: I have to admit that as of yet I really don't "get" the AB side of abdl, for me it's just about diapers, but I am a very open minded person and who knows? It might grow on me.
