I've written a couple of posts in here about the infestation of adult babies and diaper fetishists on Daily Strength. If you're concerned about this issue, good. It's a serious problem that the admin of Daily Strength haven't been aware of and haven't dealt properly with in the past. I understand the desire to get help with what is a complicated and deeply personal issue. Unfortunately, if you choose to continue using this forum, teenagers like you are at risk from predators.

So let's talk some basic safety tips.

Personal information: Don't tell people your real name, and don't make your real name part of your username or profile. Don't share your location. Nobody you meet online needs to know anything more specific than your country. Don't tell anyone about your social media, email, or phone number. Keep all conversations on Daily Strength. There's a decent messaging feature here so there's no need to take your conversation off this site. It's even better if you make contact with people via the forum itself, where posts are public, rather than going straight to private messaging. Set your Daily Strength profile to "private", so only users you have accepted as friends can see your profile.

Keep your guard up: Just because someone claims to be your age and seems to be nice doesn't mean they deserve your trust. Remember that predators aren't always obvious or easy to spot. Even if you seem to be having a friendly conversation with someone, stay on guard and don't over-share.

Photos: Using a photograph of your face is dangerous on here. With a simple reverse image search, it's possible for predators to find other places online where you might've put that photo and it could lead them directly to your personal social media pages. Even if you haven't put that photo elsewhere online, a friend or family member might've done. So don't use photos of yourself as your profile picture. Remember that everyone on Daily Strength can see your profile picture, even if you've never talked to them. Also, don't share pictures of yourself in diapers or anything of that nature either on the forum or in private messages. I want to be absolutely clear on this point. There is NO NEED for anyone, no matter how trustworthy they seem, to see you in what is basically your underwear. Would you send pictures of yourself in non-diaper underwear to someone you met online? The answer should be a solid "no". Someone you thought you could trust can use these photos against you, so don't even take them on applications that supposedly delete photos (like Snapchat). There is simply no reason on earth to photograph yourself in diapers or underwear, so don't do it.

AB/DL awareness: It's sad that it has to be said, but adult babies and diaper fetishists can be aggressive so the more you understand about them and how to spot them, the safer you'll be. Look back at my previous post for some good tips on how to spot AB/DLs, but in summary watch out for people with fetish-related usernames (I've encountered someone on Daily Strength called "peefreak", but there are others like "diaperwetter"), users with diaper-related photos or cartoons, and particularly adults trying to use this forum to contact people your age. Remember also that AB/DLs are likely to tell stories that are pure fantasy, and if you think someone you're talking to is telling you something that seems unrealistic, trust your instincts. Chances are you're right. Remember that these people find peeing and diapers to be exciting, so they are likely to want to talk about those topics exclusively. If someone won't stop talking about diapers, you've found a predator.

If you do decide to continue to use this forum, or if you're a new user considering joining, the most important thing is to be aware that there are users on Daily Strength who want to use your continence issues for their own selfish self-enjoyment. You will need to be on guard the entire time you are here because this is not a safe space.

https://www.eric.org.uk/ You will find ERIC - a UK based charity for young people with continence issues - a far better resource than Daily Strength, so I would recommend starting there rather than joining this forum. Additionally, talk to your doctor about what you're going through, and see if you can visit a specialist. In the UK, there are specialist continence nurses who can help, and all over the world you should be able to access a urologist or other specialists to discuss what's going on. Trained medical professionals who you can meet with in person and who can see your file will always be far more helpful than a stranger on a forum who doesn't know you or what you're going through.

I have sent messages to admin and community leaders at Daily Strength on your behalf to try and get these forums cleaned up, but at present they remain unsafe. If you do decide to stay, please consider what's written above and stay safe. Good luck with your continence issues, and know that for most of you, there will be a solution. Take care, friends.
