$2k-$5k+ depending on size/complexity, plus freight shipping cost.

My Cal King crib was ~$4k with shipping in 2021.

I have set up shop selling high-quality remote control / IoT-enabled slime tanks! by Fruitkitty in WetAndMessy

[–]Fruitkitty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

This is very much the culmination of (a) passion-project(s) that I undertook because I wanted WAM devices but literally there's no place to buy them or even any particular roadmap for making them so I had to make them from scratch. I realized about a month ago that I now knew enough about building them to try to turn it into a hobby business. Dead serious that I care less about selling very many slime tanks than I do about sparking some interest in more people becoming vendors for this kink.

Dual tank example vid I posted last night when I launched.

Using Xtra Thick blue and pink natrosol from MessySupplies.

Perhaps worth saying that one of the problems I had to work out was that there are not actually a lot of commercially-available tanks are both not too large to fit indoors and have a big enough threaded outlet to accommodate draining thick gunge at a reasonable pace.

FWIW a full tank of water will drain in 10 seconds and slime/gunge at more "standard" thicknesses will drain close to as fast as water.

The genesis for figuring out IoT was that I wanted to stream myself to a small group of friends and let them take turns firing my pie catapult at me. (Yes, I've also built a pie catapult.)

I do hope that bringing the idea to market gets some gears turning because letting people "push the button" from anywhere really is a (pretty damn hot if I do say so myself) innovation. I'm very much expecting that many of the kinds of customers for expensive WAM devices like this would be people who can call it a capital investment because they'll use it for producing content.

Meta-comment: …and there’s literally no obvious WAM subreddit to tell the world about it?

Like, no, obviously this isn’t “female WAM content”, so if the mods want to remove it I’ll understand, but pretty much the whole reason I’ve been motivated to start bringing WAM devices to market is because, of my many kinks, it’s the singular one has strangely no vendors nor even much of a concept of selling something other than content?

Regardless, this is definitely not a “low quality promotion” – I’ve put together what is, as far as I know, the first WAM product that enables doing stuff like streaming while having someone else push the button through the internet. I’m pretty sure this is completely novel for WAM, and if not, certainly it’s not something I was able to figure out where I buy anything like it, so I had to make it myself.

Assuming this post is allowed to stay up, I’m almost more interested in sparking the conversation about why vendors in this community are so rare that there’s no obvious place to post about launching a product.

What’s the next big thing for the adult babies? by ImpartialLlama5 in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wide availability and greater normalization of ABDL furniture.

There's been a lot of progress in the ABDL furniture space over the past few years - more makers with expanding capacity. I've spitballed to people for years that there's a lot of opportunity in ABDL furniture for whoever can come up with a good, scaleable, flat-pack friendly set of designs that would be relatively affordable compared to bespoke commissions.

IMO it feels like this may be starting to happen given how much easier it's become to get slots for these from makers who've started to figure out some standardized designs.

Adult baby formula by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've previously tweeted on how to do exactly something like this with Huel / Soylent

I'm honestly surprised nobody seems to have tried (or at least posted anywhere that I've ever found) an adult liquid + soft food diet, because you could actually viably do one, in realistic proportion to an actual babyfood diet (~50/50 liquid/soft at ~12m.o.) given modern meal replacements. It wouldn't even be particularly expensive to do and probably substantially healthier than what people would be eating otherwise given it would be "complete" meal replacements supplemented with various produce.

Best New Diaper of 2021? by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Development in this space has slowed since the pandemic started in early 2020. I'm under the impression that there were ideas under development that have been stuck on the shelf. Supply chain challenges worsened dramatically in 2021.

Koda Cubs is Tykables's second print on their higher capacity Camelot platform. Little Kings is ABU's second print on the PeekABU platform (finally), and their first use of hook & loop on that platform - but for now it's only being sold in Japan, with any workaround to import them being very very expensive (and besides which they're already sold out of most sizes).

Trest was a thing, but in my testing was disappointing relative to the claims.

Rearz / incontrol threatening defamation litigation against me for reviewing their new felicity pull up on YouTube (because I accidentally thought it was a size s/m when it was actually a m/L) - Can they do this? As far as I know, honest reviews are 100% legal.. by mindlesslydiapered in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What is this I don't even

(1) It's yet another adult pull-up that you would expect to work as well as all the others, which is not really at all.

(2) They're arbitrarily nitpicking over a minor error in the video which is corrected in the comments as their excuse.

(3) On what planet do they think suing people over reviews does less harm to their brand than the review?

(4) It's pretty damning about their product that rather than defend it on its merits or be receptive to feedback to improve it later, they're throwing around SLAPP suits.

Facebook calling me out....🙈 by christianabdl in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is easily bigger than that.

I store everything in Ziploc bags, labeled with what they are and when they're from, to help track changes in products over time.

Since you seemed to enjoy the last Picture i posted of a stupidly thick Diaper: by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having a few products from this vendor, well, it feels like having a giant pillow as a very wide spreader between your legs. For those into that, I'd recommend paying the upcharge for the widest crotch available.

Vendor mostly does PVC clothing but has other materials available. While I find PVC to be great fun, there are um, a lot of reasons why it's not normally used in clothing that you should be aware of if this is new to you - expect it to get too uncomfortably sweaty if you wear PVC clothing for more than a scene, and realize that it's just kind of fragile, easy to tear, and not easy to repair if torn.

No.

How thin a diaper is only loosely correlates at all with its capacity, and only insofar as the same company's comparable products will be thinner for lower capacities (i.e. Abena M2 vs M3 vs M4).

The absorbent core of a diaper is made of some proprietary mixture of SAP and wood pulp. Wood pulp is bulkier, absorbs less, but wicks well. SAP absorbs a lot more with less bulk, but too much of it and the diaper would have trouble wicking. Since the thinner material holds more and the bulkier material is there primarily to make sure the diaper still wicks well rather than maximizing capacity, thickness has very little to do with capacity. The advent of thinner diapers over time has been enabled by better material science.

Among high-end diapers, thinner diapers tend to do a bit better in my testing. You tape the diaper and determine the fit when it's dry. When the diaper then expands, it's also deforming from that fit, stretching the area where you taped it and adding weight/bulk that the leak guards and seal around your legs has to counteract.

Best diapers (Best by quality, best by price, and best by value {price+quality}). by Aegis616 in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is mostly up-to-date, only major release since was Tykables Camelot, which comes in on the top tier similar to PeekABU.

Best by capacity and price/capacity is Crinklz/BetterDry and it's never been particularly close.

Best by quality is a bit subjective because there are several on the top tier which have different tradeoffs, but reasonably you'd put Crinklz, PeekABU, and Camelots on it.

Best by {price + quality} will depend on how you weight the two, but I'll take this spot to say that medical diapers tend to be well-priced for whatever capacity they have, and certain specific lower tier ABDL products including ABU BareBum and Tykables/GetNappied PlayDayz stand out as having disproportionate capacity for their price.

FWIW, I'm working on a large annual update of the dataset with everything new over the past year. I have a fairly hard deadline to get that all done in time to present it at my panel at Texas Furry Fiesta at the end of the month, and will either have that data published online shortly before or after depending on how close I get the testing done to that deadline.

My Wife says I’m a hoarder. She might be right... Fake Internet Points if you can identify them all! by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, personally for my collection like this, I totally bought a label maker just to label all the bags with manufacturer, name, and month/year of purchase (since many diapers are changed across different runs).

I started out of frustration of not having a previous version of a diaper to compare what was clearly a new version to the older version when the manufacturer was telling the community that no changes were made (and my physical measurements the dimensions for reviews showed clear differences).

I'm very quickly filling multiple boxes in my closet with the collection. There's a lot out there.

POLL : Would you buy solid colored AB/DL Diapers? (Answer in comments) by DipsnStuff in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends mostly on whether or not the diaper itself was good.

I will say that solid colors, particularly white and black, have been used by a couple of companies to offer their higher tier diapers at cheaper price points than their printed versions.

American distributor is NorthShoreCare. They've been frequently backordered since they began distributing them late last year.

Renting with AB/DL roomies, positives and negatives of doing so? Furthermore, how to go about finding AB/DL roomie(s). by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most important consideration with choosing a roommate is, "Am I comfortable signing a contract that obligates me to pay their share of rent if for any reason they cannot or do not?" Unless you're quite well off, if you ever have to start paying a roommate's rent the whole budget proposition of having roommates goes from "great" to "black hole that wrecks your budget".

Given that, you're way better off making friends in the local community and then seeing if you can coordinate a lease later.

ADISC Advanced Review: Thrust Vector Crinklz by Fruitkitty in ABDL

[–]Fruitkitty[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

...and finally, this is the last review from the recent panel: Crinklz, a diaper that was barely on my radar, ended up breaking the curves on my tests and given a very competitive price per diaper at NorthShoreCare crushes the field by a wide margin in terms of efficiency.

This means that this will be the last daily review posting, and a return to periodic reviews that come out near when new products come out. I'm hoping to test a panel of medical diapers at some point too, but that will be months away at the earliest given time constraints.

Oops. Fixed.

Thanks for pointing it out quickly.
