ABDL Dictionary

ABDL stands for Adult Baby Diaper Lover. It is the umbrella for adults who find comfort, escape, or arousal in age regression, diapers, and being cared for like a little one. For some it is deeply sexual, for others it is pure comfort, and for many it is both. Read our full What Is ABDL guide.

AB stands for Adult Baby, an adult who loves slipping into a baby or toddler headspace and being nurtured, fed, rocked, and diapered.

DL stands for Diaper Lover, someone drawn to the diaper itself, the feel, the crinkle, the comfort or the arousal of wearing one, with or without the baby roleplay.

An Adult Baby is drawn to the whole experience of being a little one, where the diaper is just one piece. A Diaper Lover is focused on the diaper itself. Plenty of people are both.

DDLG stands for Daddy Dom and Little Girl, a caregiver dynamic where one partner takes a nurturing, dominant role and the other plays a submissive little. Variations include MDLG, MDLB, and DDLB.

CGL stands for Caregiver and Little, the broader, gender-neutral term for any nurturing-caregiver and little dynamic.

A little is an adult who slips into a younger, child-like headspace, anywhere from a tiny baby to a bratty toddler, usually inside a loving power dynamic.

A caregiver, also called a CG, Mommy, or Daddy, is the person who looks after a little, giving comfort, structure, discipline, and love.

A switch is someone who enjoys both sides, playing the little sometimes and the caregiver other times.

Age regression is mentally slipping back to a younger age. It can be a nonsexual comfort and coping tool, or part of erotic age play. Here it is always just grown ups at play.

Little space is the headspace a little is in when regressed, soft, vulnerable, and fully in the role.

Age play is roleplaying a different age than your own, with the clothing, props, and behavior to match. It is always just grown ups.

It can be, and it can not be. For some, diapers and regression are intensely erotic. For others they are pure comfort and stress relief. Both are completely valid, and a good Mommy follows your lead.

Paraphilic infantilism is the clinical name for the adult-baby side of ABDL, the desire to be treated as an infant. It is one part of the wider ABDL spectrum.

A diaper fetish is arousal or deep comfort tied to diapers themselves, the look, the feel, and the act of wearing them.

It varies. Some wet or mess their diapers as part of the experience, others simply love wearing them dry. There is no single right way.

Wetting means using the diaper to pee, messing means using it for more. Both are a natural part of the experience for those who enjoy them.

It is a play where the caregiver lovingly, or strictly, makes the little wear diapers and be babied, even when the little pretends to resist.

Sissy ABDL blends diapers and age play with feminization, frilly dresses, and sissy training. Explore sissy training.

These are the gear of the lifestyle. A onesie is a snap-crotch baby outfit, a paci is a pacifier, and footies are footed pajamas, all to help a little feel small.

ABDL centers on diapers and the adult-baby experience. DDLG centers on the Daddy and little-girl power dynamic, which may or may not include diapers. They overlap often.

For most people it is a harmless and comforting interest, a way to feel safe, soft, and cared for. There is no shame in it here.
