It's funny how this community was created for ab/dl and IC community to support each other, and here we are. Arguing with each other for what some of us decide to wear. ��
A lively debate puts hair on your chest no?

No I have not been to a doctor but I have been told by several that my ideal body weight is 142-145 lbs and they considered me underweight even at 135 lbs and diagnosed me with anorexia even though my BMI was 21 and I was still getting my period.
One thing to keep in mind is comparing boys with girls is like comparing apples to oranges.
I may have a certain waist size, hips size, height and weight but girls having the similar dimensions is not really possible. Girls just naturally have a larger hip size than boys and they naturally have a larger hip size than waist size. Girls also naturally have more body fat, although there certainly are some models who are exceptions, the normal average female will have more body fat than a male. Men of similar dimensions actually generally only weigh more than girls because muscle weighs more than fat, in the sense that if your arms are 1" wider due to muscle rather than fat they would weigh more (mind you a pound of muscle is equal to a pound of fat haha). Here is a plausible hypothetical example: a boy could be 6' tall and have a 26" waist and a girl could be 5' tall with a 26" waist and they both weigh the same, because the girl might have 32-34" hips where the boy might have 27 or 28" hips and the girl would have fat instead of muscle in several areas which weighs more.
There is such a thing as a corrected body mass index, a normal BMI calculator is for boys and men, it doesn't take into account female anatomy or anything to that effect.
So an uncorrected BMI of 21 for a female is actually slightly underweight while a BMI of 21 for a male is ok. Girls are just naturally supposed to have more body fat, and there is nothing wrong with that, I think you just need to be confident in who you are and don't let anyone else's appearance alter your judgement.

There's nothing to debate in this case, anyway. It's a matter of what people like and that isn't up for debate. There's no argument that will persuade me I don't like diapers. This is the same.
 
Calico, honey, those people you see claiming to fit, that's exactly what they're doing, claiming. They're lying their asses off, rather they know it, or not. I have seen people who were older, and could fit in baby diapers. One is someone I knew from after school care, from 4th, through 6th grade. She was around my age, I think, a bit older. Sweetie, there's a reason she could fit. She was severely athetoid cerebrally palsied. She looked sick, very sick. You could see her every bone. She was fed, but needed baby food, because she had so much trouble cancelling her body's unwanted movements, that consciously chewing unaltered solid foods, wasn't possible. Her body always moved, everything, eyes, mouth, arms, legs, everything. Her body incinerated calories, like a furnace. She couldn't maintain weight.

Another friend had the same type of CP as she, but was a bit better off. His parents fed him solids, but, modified them. For example, I remember feeding him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, soaked in chocolate milk, once. We were kind of crushing on each other. That's why I got to feed him. Letting someone feed you, when you can't do it yourself, is a big trusting deal. As I type this, I feel honored he asked me to. He could've probably fit in baby diapers, but, again, he couldn't maintain weight, in spite of being able to eat more than most full grown men. His everything was always moving, only a bit more controlled than my other friend, I mentioned above. Like her, he could not walk, talk, feed himself, or sit without support, but, he was able to carry spare undies in his backpack. We taped a few written phrases to the wall, numbered them, and he'd look at the list, when he wanted to say something. If what he wanted to say wasn't there, we'd go through the alphabet, and he'd wrinkle his forehead, and look up, when I got to a letter, until he'd finished his thought

There was a boy older than I, with Down syndrome. He looked about 6. He wore pull-ups, real deal, Huggies Pull-ups. He was so tiny, because of the hole in his heart.

There are grown people that can fit, but, anything smaller than a goodnites or underjams L/XL, and, I guarantee you, there's something very wrong.

On another note, it's kind of hard to defend that we aren't pedophiles, when some of us are actively buying diapers intended to fit children. Certainly not calling anyone here the most horrible thing imaginable. Not saying it's a perfect way to look at things, because, by that logic, anyone who's ever bought a chime rattle for himself, or herself. . . (Adult chime rattles don't exist yet. Do they?) I'm not even saying buying baby diapers is an indefensible evil. Far from it. Baby diapers and chime rattles are in the same boat. Just saying that's why adult diapers, with baby prints, are a thing, and the fact that they're sized, and work, correctly, helps our image, to the few judgmental idiots who's minds can be changed about us. I think I've found a way to be clear.

One of us thows said would-be idiot an ABU kiddo, and says, "See? This can't fit a child! It fits me! It's not about children, you ass! It's about me feeling like one!"

Now my question should be, if more guys fit into baby diapers than gals. I saw Baby Emma's photo of her in a baby diaper and the tabs also went on the edges too and fit her like thong and went way below her navel. She is also very skinny and close to being underweight because I can see some of her bones too and she also works out. I also bet that diaper wouldn't stay on without any tape. We also have about the same size thighs because she showed her body measurement online when she was getting sized for a diaper porn gal website. I thought she was tinier than me and then I realized "OMG, we are about the same size but yet she looks so tiny in her photos." But she is a couple inches shorter than me so it wouldn't bother me if she weighed less because of height.

There was a member at DD who said she could fit into baby diapers but in her defense, she had a illness when she was 9 and it stunted her growth so she hadn't grown since she was 9. She was 4 foot 6 so you can bet I believed her when she said she can fit into baby diapers and can use them. Since a 5 year old has had a baby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina), I believed her when she said she had twins and then had triplets. No she did not trigger me because of her height and the fact she was a size of a 9 year old due to a illness she had that stunted her growth. She also had MS so she lost her ability to speak. Then she disappeared off the forum. I remember her saying she was getting worse and wasn't sure how much she can be around. I wonder if she passed. But she also needed care, something we all desire but she really needed it because of her illness. She also had a stroller but because she had MS and she said she used a baby stroller. I would imagine she must be big for it because my son is too big for one and he only weighs 67 lbs but he is also very tall and is about 52 inches now. Strollers do not hold that weight. They only hold up to 50 lbs. I just thought that had to be uncomfortable. I have seen ABDLs claim they fit into a baby stroller but what they probably mean is their fannies can fit in it. No you cannot fit into a baby stroller, you are too big and wouldn't be able to sit in it properly and you would break the wheels. If you were a size of a 5 year old, I would believe it. My daughter is 4 lbs away from being too heavy for a baby stroller and she is four.

I also knew another gal who wore baby diapers easily and she was older than me but she was very short and came up to my chest. I was 6 and 7 then and at age 9, she was still fitting into Pampers or Huggies. But she also had a disability and used crutches. I am not sure what her condition was but just by looking at her, you could tell she had more than just not working legs. She wasn't skinny but she was thin. She had a different body type than me. I don't know if I would have still fit into baby diapers then because I never tried one on at that age and when I tried on a baby diaper when I was 5, it was tight but it was not the largest size.

When I was in 5th and 6th grade, there was a boy who was in a wheelchair and he was four grades behind me and he was very tall and skinny but yet he wore youth diapers, even at age 6.
 
I don't know if more guys or girls can fit, but I do know that generally speaking most normal females will have hips too wide. Conversely, guys who are extremely fit and don't have large bones etc, (or a large you know what), will have a chance to get them on without modification. But regardless of gender, 99% of "normal" adults over 20 years of age without any health or development problems will need to modify them somehow to get them on.
To be perfectly honest, I do not try to be as skinny as I am, I could probably stand to weigh a little more, and you probably should not try to be any skinnier, just because you think you look fat or whatever, I am sure you look fine as you are and who cares what other people think anyways.
I always have people giving me a hard time for being so skinny or weighing so little but I pay them no mind. I advise you pay others no mind as well.

Why do people go by waist size than hips? Baby diapers do not go up that far on an adult.

Speculating, I'd say part of it is that infant waist/hip sizes are a fairly regular ratio, you don't see babies with giant booties and narrow hips ;) And measuring a baby's waist accurately enough to get the right size diaper is probably harder than just weighing them and expecting it to match up fairly well with a typical baby's waist size. It's only a suggestion though... parents don't have any problem figuring out it's time to go to a larger size diaper, I doubt they pay any attention to the weight range unless they are changing to a different brand. Ask a parent what size diapers their kid wears and they'll say something like "right now Tommy's in size 5 huggies", not "32-37 lb".

Our problem is bigger. As you mentioned, hip size is important too. Adults seem to have a bigger difference in hip vs waist size, and that makes the lower tapes fit out farther, in addition to the added distance due to having to come UP as well as AROUND. And remember, baby diapers also don't have four tapes... they only have the two, for around the waist. This is probably again due to babies having almost equal hip and waist measurements.

I am talking about adults using waist size here for baby diapers, not parents for their kids. Kids are totally different than adults. I will often see ABs asking if a baby diaper will fit them and they mention their waist size instead of hip size. Why do they do it? Why waist size?

I also notice baby diapers go by weight, not size. The parent can just look at the package to figure out what diaper will fit their child based on their weight. For an adult, weight means nothing so they use measurements instead.

It was my pet peeve when I was 17 when other ABDLs would tell me I would fit into baby diapers and how they should fit just because of my small waist size. Diapers do not go around where your navel is. Even diapers don't go up that high on toddlers because I can still see their belly buttons and the tabs are on their hips, not on their waist. This is mind boggling.

I have also noticed the weight on baby diaper packages are not always accurate. A size 5 was too big for my son even though he weight over 27 lbs so he was wearing a Luvs size 4 before he potty trained. But my daughter was wearing a size 5 already and I wondered how much longer before she is a 6 but then we started using Easy Ups on her and those worked better because of the sides than the tabs that won't stay sometimes. Plus she liked the prints. They worked like real diapers.
 
To be honest, AB lifestyle bothers me a lot, but I just try to keep quiet about it.

Some of it bugs me, too, and I'm an AB. But I figure if they're not hurting themselves or others or being a complete creep-o-matic, whatever. (I find that I mostly get uneasy when stuff dips too far towards the DD/lg stuff.)

A weekend of free time surely gives a person a education when you binge watch nonsense stuff on Youtube. You can really see all the fringes of every lifestyle and parts of society took me a hour or so of watching to realize that the mockery of folks whom are truly dependent on diapers by actions like going to the store in nothing more than a diaper. Or performing lewd acts and so on and so forth.
The things that people do makes me or should you wonder what in the fricken hell is going on with society that has this kind of utter nonsense going on. There is one that someone pepper sprayed toilet paper and made a mockery of her boyfriend that used that toilet paper to wipe their backside from taking a crap as some sort of payback for a prank that was performed on her. My god! If people were to put that free time and energy into something that is more beneficial to society the world would be a better place and this kind of nonsense would not have time to take place. I mean fun is okay just do it in more of a beneficial matter. I dunno I just may be too much of a serious person Probably would make some head shrink a million someday by examining me maybe.

If this is true then they need to post a picture of themselves in an actual baby diaper.

I've stumbled across a few videos on youtube of gals squeezing into baby diapers, and yes, "diaper thong" is an accurate description. Also known as "covering my face in case it snaps off and goes flying across the room"

But everyone's got their own angle. For me it's wearing a legit fitting comfy plastic diaper. For some, it's wearing an acutal baby diaper, regardless of what they have to go through to get it on. (be it thong-style, or with extenders, or tape, or whatever)

I just like my diapers to fit nice and comfy, so I really have trouble relating to the diaper-thong'ers ;)

And the fact they are not very absorbent. It's fun to do at home and change more frequently after one wetting or a few depending on how big they are.

Was wondering when it was going to get stuck in the backside to only be removed by a ER doctor! YIKES!

Actually, adult diapers ARE designed and intended to extend up to around your actual waist line (near the belly button). This is especially important for guys too, as wearing a too small diaper that only extends up to our hips line is a sure fire way to guarantee leaks over the top. That extra inch or two rise of padding is important for an adult diaper to work properly.

Have you ever heard of those old "granny panties" that extend up to a woman's waist? Or remember how grandpa would always wear his pants so they really did extend up to his waist? That's because historically speaking undergarments really did extend up that high. The same with diapers. And while the fashion trend for the last 50- 100 years has been for pants and regular underwear to have a lower and lower belt line, diapers just can't go lower or their basic function to not leak will suffer.

As for why waist measurement versus hips for determing the largest circumference. Most adults have a larger waist size than they do hips. Double so for guys, and not even because of having a gut or not either. I know when I tape on a diaper, the lower tabs are about an inch closer together then the top tabs, and I'm glad to say I don't have much of a gut at all.
 
I used to "fit" in pull-ups until probably 17. I started using goodnites since that point up until 28. goodnites have gotten smaller and don't work that well anymore for regular use. I remember when l/xl were too big!
I also remember squeezing into a baby swim diaper as well. I remember that was a tough job.
I know the dream is to always have your real baby diapers fit, but if you are too big, you are just too big. There are alternatives like goodnites and similar brands for older kids.

I am 5 '7' and weigh 120 lbs so that puts me close to being underweight, only two lbs away. But I can barely fit into baby diapers size 6. I tried Cruisers size 6 and while I can get them on, the sides that attach to the front rip out of the diaper and if I do stretch the tab to the diaper, the tabs will pop off eventually but if I use tape to hold it together, the diaper holds fine together but if I force the tab onto the diaper, the side will eventually rip.

I just tried Luvs size 6 and the sides are shorter than Cruisers so they barely fit me too and the side popped right off after a couple minutes while the Cruisers lasted longer. I even tried tape but it still popped right off while they didn't with Cruisers. Sure there is more padding up the back than Cruisers.

But seeing photos of other ABDLs fitting into them better makes me feel like I am fat even though I am close to being underweight. My waist size is 27 inches but because baby diapers don't go that far up, I go my hip size and my hips are 35 inches around. They fit me like bikini. I put my height into it but yet people who are taller than me seem to fit into them better. Does anyone else find this crazy and think maybe these are all photo shopped?

Someone on twitter is telling me his girlfriend is wearing baby diapers and they never rip or pop off and she is 5 foot 4 and weighs 110 lbs. He also told me tabs go in the middle and how size six is a bit too big for her. But he says her hips are 21 inches which I find it hard to believe. That is a size of a child. No way can someone that height be that tiny at that weight. No way can diapers fit someone like that at that weight and height. I have a feeling he is just telling me his fantasy. He even said she only pees in the middle and never gets the back wet which I also have a hard time believing. He claims she isn't a big wetter but when I asked how long her pees are when she goes, he wrote 30-40 sec. That is not a small pee. I must say I am pretty much done talking to him about his girlfriend. I have a feeling it's just a fantasy.

Is there anyone else here who is skinny or slim or close to being underweight and can still barely fit into baby diapers like me? Also do the sides just dig into your side? How do other ABDLs out there fit them better? Are they shorter or do they just modify them or use photo tricks to make it seem like they are fitting into them well even if they are a size 5? Does it make any of you feel fat like you need to lose more weight even though you are a pound away from being underweight? Also why do people keep going by waist size than hips if baby diapers don't go that far up? I also bet those photos I see, I bet the diaper doesn't stay on after they had taken the photo so it's only for show.

I say I like Cruisers better so far and they are more durable and the sides stretch further than Luvs even though the padding doesn't cover the whole back. I say Luvs size 6 are good use for Tru Fits.

Just because you can put it on doesn't mean it fits. Same saying I have heard about clothes, just because it buttons/zips doesn't mean it fits.
If you have to modify the diaper with a second diaper and/or any modification to the tabs that is different from its original design, it doesn't "fit." One is modifying it to fit, but it won't fit out of the package like Goodnites might.

But I've thought like you. On YouTube, I've seen adults in baby diapers that it seems the diaper will fit well. There were these videos of this older gentlemen on YouTube using Luvs Size 6 that it seemed to be like, "I have his same sized waist, why shouldn't they fit me as good?" Those videos have been taken down, and I can't seem to locate them anywhere else on the web. This older man might simply be more underweight, or mods the diaper differently from how I do. I've seen videos of bigger guys in the same diapers with bigger thighs and waists, and its drove me crazy why I can't get them to fit the same.....

But the way I see it, its a genuine lie to believe you can fit into these diapers out of the package. A lie to yourself, and a waste of money and expectations without modding. You set yourself up for failure for the most part.

Yeah I think the diapers don't last long on gals when I see them wearing one even if they do "fit." I always think now "I bet that diaper popped off after that photo was taken lol." Or "I bet the front end ripped out."
