So, you’re a little and you want to hide your pacis, sippys, etc. from your parents.
Unfortunately, parents aren’t always that understanding about age regression. But that’s okay! They don’t have to know, and there’s ways to keep your age regression private. Here are my tips.
If you want to order little stuff online but don’t want your parents asking questions, look into getting a prepaid Visa. Some of them require your parents to activate them, so make sure to check. If you think your parents would without wanting access to your account, then go for it. But if you want it more discreet, try to find one that you can just load and go.
You can usually buy these at gas stations or the gift card aisle at Wal-Mart.
2) Order from a discreetly-named website, and pretend you bought something else.
If getting a prepaid Visa doesn’t work out, you still have options! Order your little stuff from Amazon, and say you bought a book or something like that. (Make sure to have your something picked out in case they ask.)
3) Ship your stuff to a friend’s house. If you can’t, get a PO Box if you have the money to do so
If you have a friend who’s parents are less likely to snoop, ask if you can ship your stuff to their house instead.
A post office box is a box at the post office where you can have mail sent instead of your house. Then you can go and pick it up. Minors can have a post office box, so if you’re underage, no worries! The price for a post office box varies, so make sure you can realistically afford it if you’re going to go that route.
4) If you’re going to buy at the store, make sure to have a good cover story for what you’re buying.
If your parents are with you at the store, you can tell them one of your friends at school has an older brother/sister who just had a baby and you want to get them a present.
If you’re a girl, you can say you need emergency pads/tampons and ask your mom/dad to drop you off at the store and pick you up in the parking lot when you’re done. Then just buy your little stuff with it (make sure you have the little stuff on a separate receipt.) As long as the extra bulk in the bag isn’t obvious and you’re keeping it relatively hidden, they probably won’t notice.
If you can drive but your parents see you coming home with stuff and ask about what you bought, have a lie ready. If you’re a girl you can say pads/tampons or bras and they’re probably not gonna look. If you think they would anyway, try to provide a distraction. Have a bag of candy or two ready and take it out when they ask and say “Candy, want some?” That’ll be a distraction so they hopefully don’t ask questions.
5) Have really good hiding spots.
A shoebox under the bed isn’t really a good spot. Neither is your pillow case. Your parents used to be teens who hid things from their parents, too, so don’t go with your first instincts. Get creative. Think of things they’d never dream of. Here are some ideas.
⭐️ Walk into your room and look around. Pretend you’re a nosy parent snooping for your kid’s hidden stuff. Where would you look first? Avoid all those places.
⭐️ For small things such as pacis, you can hide them in hoodie pockets or pants pockets. If your parents do your laundry, this is probably not the best idea. Even if they do your laundry though, they probably dont re-wash clean and folded socks ;) You can put your pacis in a clean pair of socks and fold them up.
⭐️ A great discreet option is a fake book lockbox. Your parents wouldn’t suspect a dictionary is hiding a paci hoard! (Note: it’s not big enough for a sippy cup or bottle, so only use it for pacis and other small things.)
⭐️ Who says your closet isn’t a good hiding place? All you need are four things things: a heavy coat, a t-shirt, a hanger, and some sort of purse or bag you can put on the hanger. First, put your sippy cups, bottles, or whatever else fits, into the bag and secure it on the hanger. Hang it up in your closet, and make sure the hanger doesn’t look uneven. If all looks good, put the t-shirt on the hanger, over the bag. Finally, cover it with the heavy coat and button it up.
⭐️ One place your parents will never think to look is the air vents. Remove the front plate of the air vent and you have a perfect hiding spot! The only downside is that it’s not very easily accessible. If you go this route, make sure to wrap whatever you’re hiding in a washcloth so it doesn’t rattle around in there when the AC is on.
⭐️ If you’re a girl, a large makeup bag is a good option. Put it in your underwear drawer and have some pads/tampons on top so it looks like your feminine hygiene products are stored in there.
⭐️ If you’re allowed to keep snacks in your room, you can use a cereal box. Eat half the cereal and use the bottom of the box to store whatever will fit. Then put the bag of cereal on top.
⭐️ If your parents don’t take out your trash, you can store stuff inside the bottom of your trash can. Just lift up the plastic bag with your trash, put your stuff down at the bottom, them put the trash bag back inside. (Just make sure to always have trash inside, so you can’t see the stuff hiding at the bottom. But don’t let it get full, either, in case your parents decide to empty it themselves.)
⭐️ Have any old board games you don’t play any more? Store your stuff in there! It won’t look suspicious stashed on the top shelf of your closet. (Bonus points if you store the game somewhere else and occasionally play the game in front of your parents.) If you don’t have any, here’s some cheap ones .
⭐️ If you have a bean bag, unzip it and hide stuff in there. Make sure not to store small stuff that might get lost, though!
⭐️ Get some fake flowers (here’s some nice ones for under $5) and a vase that isn’t see-through. Put your stuff in the vase, then insert the flowers. This is a cheap vase that’s big enough to hide a sippy cup inside. For added security, get some easter grass and put it inside the vase, on top of your sippy cup. It’s completely hidden!
6) My door doesn’t have a lock. What do I do?
If you’re going to spend some time being little and want to be alone, prepare in advance. Stuff a towel or blanket against the door. If someone tries to open it, it’ll only open a few inches.
If your parents ask why you did that, say you were trying on outfits and didn’t want them walking in on you.
Be sure to have a temporary hiding place to shove the pacis, bottles, etc. you’re using in case of an emergency. If you’re wearing a diaper, make sure to keep it covered or have pants nearby that you can quickly put on.
This is all the tips I have for now! If anyone has more ideas, let me know and I’ll add them to this. I hope this helps!
