The term "Adult Baby/Diaper Lover" (ABDL) refers to individuals who enjoy role-playing as infants or toddlers, often incorporating the use of diapers. This lifestyle can involve wearing baby clothes, using pacifiers, and engaging in activities typically associated with young children. For some, it serves as a form of escapism or comfort, while for others, it may have a sexual component. ABDL communities often connect through online forums and social media, sharing experiences and resources. The practice is generally considered a part of the broader spectrum of kink and fetish lifestyles, emphasizing consent and personal choice in exploring these interests.
