Exploring the History of ABDL

Welcome to the growing community of adult babies, diaper lovers, caregivers, and diaper fetish cross over.

Explore the world of ABDLs (Adult Baby Diaper Lovers), ageplayers, and diaper fetishists through a review of historic social movements, business developments, artifacts, and psychology. Discover how this community has evolved internally and how it has worked hard to change how the greater kink community and the public perceive it.

Sample what it’s like to immerse yourself in the “little headspace” and let the stressors of adult life melt away in favor of simpler things. Learn about the different facets and roles within the community...the variety may surprise you. A smol and diverse community that is creating big changes in their community and in the diaper industry.

We invite you to open your mind, let your inner child, your inner caregiver, or just your kinky mind, run wild and learn about how the ABDL community is much more than just diapers and pastel nursery scenes.

UPDATE

A Crinkle ‘n Time (Update)

We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and support shown for A Crinkle ‘N Time, our planned deep dive into the history and evolution of the ABDL (Adult Baby/Diaper Lover) and ageplay communities. Our goal was to explore how this unique subculture has grown — from early social movements and psychology to business development, community building, and representation within the broader kink world.

Unfortunately, despite the excitement surrounding the project, we were unable to meet our fundraising goals and could not acquire the physical and historical materials needed to properly showcase the story we wanted to tell. Because of that, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this exhibition.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to support this project and to the Leather Archives & Museum, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating kink and leather history.

While A Crinkle ‘N Time will not move forward as planned, we’re thrilled to announce our continued collaboration with the Leather Archives & Museum to bring you a brand-new 18+ ABDL social event — Club House.

Using the funds raised, Club House will provide an inclusive space for connection and community featuring museum tours, socials, snacks, education, games, and much more. This new event embodies the same spirit of celebration, education, and understanding that inspired A Crinkle ‘N Time — just in a more interactive and social format.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Club House and continue sharing the history, joy, and community that make ABDL culture so special

What’s Next?

We want to sincerely thank everyone who believed in A Crinkle ‘N Time — those who donated, spread the word, and shared their stories. Although this exhibit is paused, its mission continues through Club House and future collaborations with the Leather Archives & Museum.

The ABDL community deserves spaces that educate, connect, and celebrate. Your support makes that possible, and we can’t wait to grow together in new and exciting ways.

THANK YOU!

  • All donations made toward A Crinkle ‘N Time were processed through and directed to the Leather Archives & Museum, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Because of this, all contributions are non-refundable and remain with the museum to further its mission of community-focused education and historical preservation.

    With the museum’s approval, a portion of these funds are now being used to help create Club House, an upcoming free 18+ ABDL social and educational event. The resources are going directly toward event materials and programming costs to bring this new collaborative experience to life.

    Delta Frost Productions and its entities will not receive any portion of the donated funds.

  • Yes! Club House will include elements of what we hoped to share through the exhibit — such as educational discussions, community stories, and the celebration of ABDL culture — but in a more interactive, social environment.

  • Follow Delta Frost Productions and the Leather Archives & Museum on social media for updates, announcements, and upcoming event details.

FAQs

  • We truly hope to make this a reality someday. For those who know us personally, you know we have a hard time doing anything partially or below our standards. We plan to take the next few years to find collaborators who can assist in planning, curating, and acquiring the historical materials needed to make this exhibit everything it deserves to be.
    For now, A Crinkle ‘N Time is on a semi-long pause while we focus on our other events and classes.

  • Many of the historical and cultural items we hoped to feature are privately held or scattered across different collections worldwide. Acquiring and displaying them responsibly requires coordination, preservation expertise, and funding. We want to make sure any future exhibit is done respectfully and accurately, which takes time and resources.

  • The best way to help is to support the Leather Archives & Museum through donations or volunteer work and to attend our events like Club House. Spreading awareness and continuing conversations around ABDL history helps us build a foundation for a future exhibit.
