Resources for Your Adult Baby Fetish
If you’re frustrated that Babies “R” Us doesn’t stock your size in playpens, cribs, or diapers, a trip to Chicago is in order. There’s a wide range of products available, and Adult Babies and Diaper Lovers (ABDL) can find everything they need.
Some residents view Tykables in Mount Prospect as just another business, while others are upset that big babies exist at all and call for its closure. The store owner believes that protesters should direct their efforts elsewhere, stating his business primarily serves adults in need of diapers for medical and other purposes. However, he operates from a uniquely themed environment that includes a large playpen and highlights the lack of available adult nursery options. The store features a giant rocking horse, high chair, and various toys, along with a seven-foot crib.
Adult Babies often struggle to find acceptance, even within fetish communities. The phrase “adult entertainment” implies a level of sexuality that clashes with the idea of paraphilic infantilism. While this behavior, also known as autonepiophilia, is often seen as a type of submission or masochism, it focuses on regression, serving as a unique form of escapism.
Adult Baby play can sometimes involve elements of scolding, spanking, or humiliation, which may create an association with BDSM. However, practitioners of Adult Baby play do not typically share the same props or rituals as those in the BDSM community. The focus of Adult Baby play is more on aspects such as wearing diapers, crawling, being bottle-fed or nursed, and seeking comfort from a caregiver figure, often referred to as “Mommy.”
Many Adult Babies are men, and most start this regression role-play or show interest around puberty, which can lead psychologists to discuss issues of maturity. While some may find it hard to understand, this interest is quite common and harmless. It is important to distinguish this kink from attraction to children—a common misconception. The focus is on embracing a childlike persona, not interacting with children. The appeal lies in reconnecting with an earlier part of ourselves.
