ABDL
also known as ABDL, AB/DL
Umbrella abbreviation for two adjacent adult communities: adults who occupy an infant headspace, and adults with a diaper interest.
Definition
Expanded form: Adult Baby / Diaper Lover
ABDL describes an interest area distinct from, but sometimes overlapping with, ageplay and caregiver dynamics. Community writing distinguishes the AB (adult baby) and DL (diaper lover) facets and notes that participants may identify with one, both, or neither.
Discussion
ABDL is documented here as a term of art; the Lexicon takes no view on its inclusion in any particular dynamic.
