Riley Kilo refers to herself as an Adult Baby Diaper Lover/Lifestyle and spends most of her days dressed as a baby - she explained why in an episode of My Strange Addiction

A woman has admitted she spends most of her life dressed as a baby.

Riley Kilo gave viewers a peek into her life on an episode of My Strange Addiction. The then 25-year-old told programme-makers how she loves sleeping in a crib and wearing diapers. She even sucks on a pacifier (dummy), wears baby-gros and drinks from a bottle.

She said: "I dress as a baby as often as I can. Whenever I come home, I always slip into one of my cute little outfits and it helps me wash away all the stress of the big tough world."

Riley has turned her bedroom into a nursery and sleeps in a crib with her teddies. She spends nearly 12 hours a day dressed as a baby.

She said: "I started wearing diapers when I was about 13 and that kind of gradually turned into fascination about pacifiers and onsies and baby diaper accessories.

"When I was younger, I felt shame. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to have a normal life doing this."

Riley, who is transgender said she always felt awkward and out of place in her male body growing up. She began living as a female at the age of 20.

She is so engrossed in her addiction, she spends nearly $400 a month on baby accessories and wears diapers 24 hours a day.

"Wetting my diapers is just something that comes naturally with wearing diapers," she says.

"The feeling of release and the feeling of comfort of a warm, wet diaper is really something that is very special to me."

Riley says she doesn't do anything else in her nappies other than wet them, which means she never has to use public toilets.

She adds: "Being an adult baby makes me feel different ways. Sometimes it makes me feel really happy, and sometimes it makes me feel kind of sad."

She adds: "I know that ultimately, most people aren't ok with this...Sometimes I wish that I wouldn't have gone down this path but usually it takes just a half a second to go: 'Oh come on Riley, you love this.'"

"It's hard to tell somebody because there's always that fear they'll be super-negative to me and judgemental."

She tells a friend she never got a chance to be a little girl with being transgender. "It's nice to be able to create new memories," she says.

Riley adds: "I don't feel like what I'm doing is wrong or dirty or weird. There's no reason for me to stop so why should I?"

During the programme, Riley is visited by therapist, Nancy Kells at home and opens up that she got bullied a lot growing up.

Nancy says: "It's not possible to make her change. It's her coping skill so trying to tell her that she has to stop, she'll just drive it underground."

In a video Riley posted in 2021 - 10 years after the episode first aired - the then 35-year-old talks more about her lifestyle and what she's been doing over the last decade.

She explains that she's a video producer running her own studio and making lots of content for the internet.

She then goes on to discuss Adult Baby Diaper Lover/Lifestyle, adding: "I am super into diapers...they just fascinate me, I love them.

"I do have a regression side, I love being little and snuggling my stuffies (teddies) and stuff."

She adds: "I know who I am and I know what I'm about."
