There is reportedly a growing number of adults who are choosing to wear nappies instead of underwear...

Nappies are designed to be convenient to those who have challenges going to the toilet. For instance, children wear diapers because they are not potty proficient and, in most cases, adults wear them for health reasons. 

However, it seems there is a growing number of adults who are choosing diapers over underwear. 

This, according to people on the internet, is because they find the diapers more comfortable than underwear.

The community of ADBLs (Adult Baby Diaper Lovers) is reportedly growing around the globe. 

This group of people not only enjoy wearing diapers, but some even go to the extent of dressing and performing activities usually associated with babies, such as drinking from a bottle. 

The group is often misunderstood, but as the number is growing, more people are beginning to seek understanding. 

"Ive just learned about adult baby diaper lovers and it’s about people loving to wear diapers. It helps them going back to feeling careless and free like the times when they was a baby and I can understand why that part feels nice," wrote Twitter user aliceincrzyland.
