Crinkle CollectiveAbout Us
Welcome to Crinkle Collective, an adult community dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and stigma-free spaces for people with a wide range of experiences and identities. Our community includes LGBTQ+, Trans, and ABDL communities, as well as individuals who wear diapers or other protective products because of incontinence, disability, medical needs, personal comfort, or simply because it is what works best for them.
Founded on the values of acceptance, connection, education, and mutual respect, Crinkle Collective provides a place where adults (18+) can meet others, build friendships, share experiences, and be themselves without shame or judgment.
Based in Oklahoma, we host regular social meetups, educational workshops, volunteer opportunities, and special events designed to strengthen our community and create meaningful connections. Our events emphasize respect, consent, inclusion, and understanding among members with different backgrounds and experiences.
We also believe strongly that needing or choosing to wear diapers should never be a source of shame. For some people, diapers are part of managing incontinence or another medical condition. For others, they may provide comfort, confidence, security, or be connected to ABDL or ageplay. Whatever the reason, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Whether you are new to the community, have been part of it for years, are exploring an aspect of yourself, or simply want to meet people who understand your experiences, you are welcome here.

Our Purpose
At Crinkle Collective, our purpose is to create a safe, welcoming, and stigma-free community where adults can connect, find support, learn from one another, and feel comfortable being themselves.
Our community includes people across the ABDL and ageplay spectrum�including littles, middles, and bigs�as well as individuals with incontinence or other continence needs and people who wear diapers or protective products for medical, practical, emotional, or personal reasons.
We aim to foster a sense of belonging through inclusive and respectful gatherings; promote self-acceptance and reduce shame surrounding diapers, incontinence, and related experiences; provide educational resources and opportunities for members to learn from one another; create opportunities for friendship, volunteering, and community involvement; and encourage greater understanding of the many different reasons adults may use diapers or participate in these communities.
We believe there is no shame in using the products, accommodations, or forms of self-expression that help someone live comfortably and confidently.
Our vision is a community where adults with different experiences can feel seen, respected, supported, and free from unnecessary stigma.

Each member of our executive staff brings their own unique vision and dedication to the Crinkle Collective. Here’s a glimpse into our personal motivations and roles.
JayPup
Role: President – Founder
My Purpose: Crinkle Collective grew out of my desire to create the kind of community I believe everyone deserves: somewhere you can be honest about who you are, build genuine friendships, and know that you aren't going to be judged for being a little different.
That mission is personal to me. Alongside being part of the ABDL community, I live with overactive bladder and incontinence issues and understand firsthand the stigma that can come with needing to wear diapers or other protection as an adult. One message I care deeply about is simple: there is nothing shameful about wearing what you need to feel protected, comfortable, and confident.
People wear diapers for countless reasons. For some of us it is related to incontinence or another medical need; for others it may be part of ABDL, ageplay, comfort, or personal expression. Those experiences can overlap, but they don't have to�and none of them should determine whether someone is treated with dignity.
My goal with Crinkle Collective is to help build a community where people can find resources, make lasting friendships, better understand themselves and others, and become more comfortable with who they are. ABDL may be part of what brings many of us together, but connection, acceptance, and community are what I hope keep us together.
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.
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.
