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: Here is Northshore's ABDL hub!

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! Listen to In the Nook: on Spotify.

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: The Downsides of ABDL Feeling Truly Little Living in the Middle Diapering Tips n' Tricks Being a Parent of Older Children 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.

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. SHOW NOTE - Find the list of famous Bi people at the Bi.org famous people list. Bi.org famous people list!

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. In this episode RY talks with three creators: * TinkerKinkers ([email protected]) about a new (and brilliant!) pressure-sensitive toy activator that can quickly turn little time into playtime, and vice-versa * MisterSeaOtter ([email protected], coachseaotter(IG)) about a life coaching service particularly for people with an ABDL kink * Mako (@mako on FL) about an overhaul of his shared discipline and power exchange app, WeMinder. (join the development updates on Reddit at r/weminderapp !) 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!

Whether you've been at this for 3 months or 30 years, we all need support and opportunities for growth. On this episode of LIB, Teddy and RY talk with Merissa Cope, author, counselor, and social worker who leads the ABDealing support group in Denver and +1's Discord support group. This episode focuses on the ways you can find support with counselors, support groups, peers, and solo resources... as well as how you can start your own support group in your area! You can find Merissa's book, UNPACK & PLAY, and info about the book launch here at ABDLrs website Here is Dr. Rhoda's book, YOU'RE NOT BROKEN And here is the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF)'s Kink-Aware Professionals List .

Have you ever wanted to explore a D/s relationship? Or maybe just some fun play? Playing with power dynamics can be suuuuuuuper fun, but it's helpful to know a bit about how they work, what can make them great, and how to negotiate those dynamics. On this episode of LIB, RY and Lola welcome partners @DynamicDiem (FL) and @subslxt (FL) to talk about their D/s dynamic, the principles by which they practice, and they joy of power exchange (with plenty of ABDL talk wedged in there just to keep your interest, you ol' perv you).

On this quarterly Question Round-Up, RY and Lola tackle such diverse topics as when to tell your spouse about trying ABDL, when caregiving turns into codependency, how sub-communities fraction, how to make ABDL friends, how to get over internalized shame, and (just for funsies) a day in the life of a 24/7 diaper-wearer named Lola!

Life gets so much richer with the crazy, exhilarating, deep fun of kink (and especially ABDL) doesn’t it? Have you ever wondered what *else* in the ABDL world and the kink world could be really rewarding? Maybe even wondered if some of your previous self-imposed boxes might be ready for some dismantling? On this episode, RY and Teddy talk to @ComfortablyCrinkly (IG) and @Mrs.BabyPants (IG) about how they have expanded their own boundaries inside of ABDL and outside of it, how they have tried new things to see how they feel, even taken on new roles and dynamics they thought they might never take on. And, more importantly, how their lives have changed as a result.

AT LONG LAST, it is here! We have had a two-week radio silence since CAP; there were some technical glitches with the audio, so we had to ship it off to our audio pro friends Mr November (FL) and Dadbaud (IG) to clean it up and make it listenable. And they pulled it off! It was a really, really fabulous live episode with incredible questions and an amazing group of attendees and panel, so we didn't want you to miss it. This live episode recorded at CAPCon 2026 starts with RY, Lola and Teddy reflecting on CAPCon 2026, then into the actual live episode audio. Thanks for bearing with it; I promise it's worth the extra work to listen closely. And a huge thanks to our panel : BabyMisty, Nikki Love, and ComfortablyCrinkly all knocked it out of the park!

It’s almost time, IT’S ALMOST TIME… the biggest ABDL event of the year, CAPCon, is just a couple of weeks away, and we want to give YOU a preview of the fun, some helpful hints for packing and preparing, and some advice on how to have your very best CAPCon Experience. Not going this year? That’s OK, it’s still a fun episode for those who are even considering going in the future! On this episode, RY, Lola, and Teddy talk to Nito and Ruka, two CAPCon staffers and long-time CAPCon organizers, about this year’s festivities and what surprises might be right around the corner. (Aaaand, listen for the “secret handshake” from RY that unlocks a giveaway exclusively for LIB listeners attending CAPCon! [while supplies last])
