As bizarre as it sounds, its actually true!
The new episode of TLC’s Strange Addiction , features a young woman who shares her stomach-flipping, disturbing addition with the world. She’s addicted to sniffing and chewing on dirty diapers.
According to the Daily Mail , 22-year-old Keyshia has been addicted to sucking on urine-filled diapers for almost two years. The Queens, NY native also revealed that she’s obsessed with the taste of dirty urine. She prefers them to be heavy with urine, as they tend to taste better. As, the cameras followed her through her home, she shared her preferences in reference to her addiction.
“It has to have pee in it,” she explained as she took a dirty diaper out of a drawer. “The heavier ones that have more pee smell better.”
As the addiction intensified over time, she began hoarding dirty diapers. Eventually, she would be taking them everywhere just to have them at her disposal whenever she had a craving.
“I love it, it just tastes amazing. I have one when I’m cooking in the kitchen, I have one in my drawers, I have one when I’m sleeping, I keep some in my trunk, I keep some in my pocketbook,” she says.
She estimates that she’s probably slurped and chewed through approximately 25,000 diapers. The Huffington Post reports that the staggering number of diapers is actually more than enough for “six babies’ lifetimes.” She’s even went so far as to collect dirty diapers from friends, and even strangers, comparing the taste of dirty urine to that of sour candy.
However, her fiancé Jerome’s tolerance of the bizarre addiction has waned since she’s now pregnant with their first child. He even gave an example of just how far she’d go to satisfy her craving.
“I’ve tried to work with her, but she goes beyond for her diapers,” Jerome said. “She’s even willing to dig in the garbage.”
One scene of the episode shows the conflicted couple during a moment of contention as a result of the ‘dirty diaper craze.’ She tends to leave them all over their home, and its driving him insane. However, she simply justified the addiction by comparing it to the craving of an appetizing, mouth-watering entrée.
“You know when you’re walking into a room and you smell a strong smell like food and you kind of taste it? That’s what it’s like,” she explains.
My Strange Addiction airs Wednesday nights 10:00 p.m. ET on TLC.
