Love In Brief

The ABDL Forumsphere (that's probably a word, right?) is replete with would-be travelers concerned with how in the world to travel when you want to wear diapers, much less to bring other ABDL accoutrements!

This episode of LIB features RY interviewing Teddy, who is hot off of a major life travel milestone, talking through how to:

Teddy also brings in wisdom from our friend, a professional travel blogger, as well as YOUR wisdom from the Reddit Q&A. As always, we'd love to hear from you! Join our FL forum or LIB IG discussion and let us know what we missed!

Northshore Care Supply is a staple of the adult diaper world, and shows up everywhere in the ABDL dialogue on diapers, products, and brands… if you live in the US, it’s hard to miss this juggernaut of diapers goodness.

In this actually-brief (can you believe it?) episode of Love In Brief, RY talks with James Frost, the Channel Marketing Manager for ABDL at Northshore Care Supply, a diaper and incontinence accessories supply company.

We talk about what’s new at Northshore, including the launch of their Pack Pals line of character-themed diapers, which were specifically developed with the ABDL community in mind.

We also talk about the changes to the extremely popular MegaMax line, including what’s to come with the American version of the MegaMax, and the return to the original very popular China version of the MegaMax.

We also talk about upcoming events, how you can take part in the pin-trading program, and where you can find Northshore at upcoming ABDL events.

It’s a rundown of all that’s new at Northshore, this week on LIB!

SHOW NOTE:

Wetting a diaper is the fuzzy blanket of kink moments… it’s a warm cozy feeling that wraps around you and sure, wearing (and wetting) diapers is a damned good time, but have you ever wondered what it might feel like to skip the diaper and pee elsewhere?

Maybe you have tried it solo, peed your pants, or even peed on someone or something else. If so you may have discovered what so many others have found: pee can be fun!!

Are you interested in pee? Well urine luck! On this episode of LIB, RY and Lola talk with Amanita ( @Amanitadreams on FL, @Amanitadweams on Bluesky) and Chris ( @pushpainpullplea on FL, @guiltypleasuresforall on Tumblr) about all things pee play! Golden showers, solo play, pantswetting, omo, forced wetting, D/s scenarios, it’s all here.

We are all constantly growing and changing, but sometimes it’s scary to change how you show up in the ABDL world. Whether you are part of a large friend group, are a content-creator, or just have a handful of online acquaintances, you might fear rejection if you change where, when, or how you show up in the community. And you might fear stepping out into something new!

On this In-the-Nook-crossover episode of Love In Brief, RY and Lola talk with Newsie, creator and host of the In the Nook podcast, about what it’s like to change and evolve how you show up in the ABDL world. We discuss what it’s like to change what you’re into, how you show up, what communities and events you choose, what you create for the ABDL world, etc., and we give practical tips for navigating that change, both within yourself and with others.

Also, we talk about podcasting, and of course, about what we’re wearing. :). Byeeeeeeeee!

It’s the end of Summer, so it’s time to drop that waterlogged beach-read back into your swim bag and start turning your eye back toward everybody’s real favorite pleasure-read: ABDL smut. Yes, smut; it’s the script to the theater of the imagination, and man oh man is your imagination clever and gross.

On this episode of LIB, RY and Teddy talk to John (afictionalphile on bluesky/twitter/gmail/deviantart) and Kimmy (UsualBet discord, @bby-kimmy on Tumblr) about the process of writing ABDL fiction, the state of ABDL fiction, what makes for great ABDL fiction, and sharing recommendations for where to find really killer ABDL fiction.

And a friendly reminder from all of us at LIB to support ABDL writers and artists financially by subscribing/buying stories and art when you can! We all love the free content and stories, but under the ongoing assault of both AI nonsense and major paid platforms shutting artists down, it is more important than ever to support our Makers whenever we can.

Yeeee-howdy little cowpokes, grab your lassos it's time for another Question Round-Up! Fortunately we've already hogtied 6 questions and brought 'em into the pen to save you all the consternation, and those little doggies sure did give us a hell of a good time.

Here's a list of the topics we covered on this one:

So saddle up and put on your fancy boots, it's time for our Summer Question Round-Up!

There are two sides to the CG/L equation, and in the ABDL world we focus a lot on the "L" side. But what about that other critical half; those caregivers who give love, attention, heart, and the occasional spankin'?

On this episode of LIB, ResonantYes and TeddyBear talk with two extraordinary caregivers in long-term CG/L relationships: DD/LG caregiver Arsen (@daddyreadstoyou on IG) and MDLB caregiver Foxie (@foxieandbunny on IG). They discuss different types of caregiving, what motivates and rewards caregivers, how caregiving can show up in large and small ways, and how caregiving can be done everywhere from a full-time dynamic to an occasional "when we can" treat and in a ton of different dynamics.

So grab your snuggliest plushie and get ready for a heartwarming love-fest of caring on this all-about-caregiving episode!

It’s almost the end of PRIDE MONTH, and we wanted to go out with a bang! On this episode of Love In Brief, the entire LIB hosting crew and three of our guests from previous episodes join forces to form one big proud LBGTQ+ love-fest!

RY (our token straight chap) joins Liv (our “L” guest), Tim (our “G” guest), Lola (our “B” host), Lindz (our “T” guest), and Teddy (our “A” host) for lots of queer topics, memories, cheers, and laughs from all colors of the rainbow.

We had an absolute blast with our friends making this one, and we hope you have an absolute blast listening to it! So shake up your favorite gay cocktail, pour a tall one, turn on your favorite queer playlist as background music, and crank up the Pod… cause we’re having a gay ol’ time.

WHO YOU WILL HEAR—

THE CAST-ASSEMBLED PRIDE PLAYLIST is here!

Do you like iced tea? Do you like lemonade? Well, put 'em together and you've got you an ARNOLD PALMER, one of the best drinks in the world.

On this episode of Love In Brief we do our first of two Pride month episodes to explore a vastly under-explored topic -- bisexuality!

Imagine loving a good Arnie Palmie in the Summer, and the tea people telling you you don't fit, and the lemonade telling you you're probably just in a tea phase.

That can be what being bisexual feels like -- you love all kinds of people, but people in the straight camp think you're gay and people in the gay camp think you're straight, and some real hosers just think you're confused.

On the other hand, boy does it have its upsides! Imagine finding people of multiple genders attractive, and seeing opportunities for love and lust all over! On this episode RY and Lola talk to @untraditionalnormal [Reddit, Tumblr, X, BlueSky] and @NorthernLifeAB [FL] about what it's like being bisexual, how it integrates with their ABDL kink, and what makes loving all kinds of people wonderful.

Spring is turning the corner towards Summer, and creativity is in the air! This LIB is the next in our periodic Makers Series, where we highlight neat stuff the people in the ABDL community are making for the ABDL community.

We hope you enjoy getting to celebrate brilliant new inventions and creations in the ABDL community, and that you even get to try out some of them for yourself!
