JayPup
Role: President – Founder
My Purpose: Crinkle Collective has been a lifelong passion project of mine. This organization was created to provide a safe and positive space where members can connect, build lasting friendships, and support one another in their journeys of self-discovery and self-acceptance. At its core, the Crinkle Collective is about being authentic to who you are, embracing your uniqueness, and learning to love yourself, even if you’re a little quirky. My goal is to help others navigate their paths to self-acceptance within the ABDL community by connecting them with resources and fostering an environment where they can feel confident and proud of who they are.
Funkee the Skunk
Role: Co-Founder
My Purpose: The Crinkle Collective is something I’ve always wanted to be a part of ever since I found out about the ABDL community. Many people myself included have and still find it hard to accept themselves and I want to help create a safe place where like-minded individuals can express themselves without fear. I want to extend the wonderful aspects of this amazing and accepting community to others who need it and give them the opportunity to make long-lasting friendships, accept who they are, and help others along their own journey to being happy with themselves.
Charlotte
Role: Co-Founder
My Purpose: My purpose is to grow and nurture a shared space for those involved with the ABDL and kink community where they can feel safe. I’d like for those involved to be able to learn and share together with the larger goal of nourishing the Oklahoma kink community.
Ashe/Bayne
Role: Co-Founder
My Purpose: My purpose within the Crinkle Collective is to ensure that every ABDL—whether openly part of the community or still finding their way—knows they are never alone. I am dedicated to fostering a sense of connection and belonging, where each individual feels seen, valued, and understood. Embracing this part of ourselves is an act of self-care and self-love, and I strive to create an environment that helps us all come closer together, building a community rooted in understanding and acceptance.
Venrix
Role: Co-Founder
My Purpose:
I am proud to be part of a community that creates and sustains safe, inclusive spaces where individuals can explore and embrace their identities. Over the years, as the kink community has grown, there has been a noticeable gap in groups that center on ABDL interests, both locally and beyond.
My journey began within the broader kink community as I sought to explore my personal diaper-related interests and connect with others who shared them. While the kink community is often open-minded, there remains a hesitation to openly discuss or engage with ABDL-specific kinks.
I want to help bridge that gap by fostering a dedicated space for us to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another in a safe and supportive environment. I am excited to contribute to making that vision a reality and to see this community grow stronger together.
BrightHeartRacoon
(How to Wear Adult Diapers)
Role: Co-Founder
My Purpose: My mission is to provide compassionate support, education, and resources to individuals managing incontinence with adult diapers. I strive to foster a welcoming community that promotes emotional well-being, self-acceptance, and empowerment. By sharing knowledge, personal experiences, and understanding, I aim to break down stigmas and improve the lives of those who wear diapers, ensuring they feel confident, and supported every step of the way.
Gale Rysoro
Role: IT & Co-Founder
My Purpose:
Although I am not ABDL myself, my journey has been one of exploration, understanding, and support in navigating a relationship with someone who is. As a long-time member of the furry community—a space where I’ve built lasting friendships and contributed to its vibrant culture—I’ve come to deeply value acceptance and self-expression. My involvement with the Crinkle Collective has provided an opportunity to merge these experiences, fostering understanding and learning about the unique challenges and joys within the ABDL community.
In the past, I have explored ABDL through roleplay, art, and even real life. I find the artwork especially adorable and charming. Seeing my character brought to life in this style has been a delight, as it taps into a playful and creative side that I truly enjoy. While I don’t feel a personal connection to ABDL in real life outside of these contexts, I appreciate the artistry and imagination that the community fosters.
As someone affectionately referred to as a ‘grey muzzle,’ I aim to share the lessons I’ve learned over the years, offering a perspective that bridges communities and encourages a spirit of openness and mutual respect. My goal is to inspire others to embrace the quirks and connections that make life meaningful, celebrating the diverse ways we all express ourselves and find joy.
