One-line definition
ABDL stands for Adult Baby / Diaper Lover, generally treated as a branch of ageplay and caregiving kink.
Full definition
The acronym joins two overlapping communities. Adult Babies centre their practice on infant roleplay and its rituals, while Diaper Lovers are interested in the diaper itself, with or without any age framing. The two often overlap, but they are not automatically the same person.
Boundary reminder
This archive discusses ABDL only as consensual roleplay and kink between adults. Nothing here concerns minors, and nothing involving minors belongs to BDSM.
