New to ABDL? This is your starting point. ABDL 101 covers the essentials — what it is, what you need, how to stay private, and how to build your first little space setup. No fluff, just the facts you need to get started confidently.

1️⃣ What is ABDL?

ABDL (Adult Baby / Diaper Lover) is an umbrella term for adults who find comfort, joy, or stress relief in age regression, little space, and/or wearing diapers or babycore clothing. It's a private lifestyle practiced by adults worldwide — more common than most people realize.

2️⃣ The Spectrum: AB vs DL vs Little Space

• AB (Adult Baby) — focuses on babycore aesthetics, clothing, and regression
• DL (Diaper Lover) — focuses specifically on wearing diapers, with or without regression
• Little Space / Age Regression — a mental state of returning to a younger, carefree headspace

You can identify with one, all, or none of these labels. Little space is yours to define.
