Subtle ways to be your little self if you have company, are out, or in public setting
If you’re ever with people who have no idea you’re a little, of any sort, or are uncomfortable showing your little side and you happen to regress or are feeling little, there are a few ways to be little without it being obvious
✨If you’re out to eat, get something off the kids menu and if anyone asks, say you’re not hungry enough for a full meal or you don’t think you can finish a whole meal
✨But what if you’re really hungry? Ask for a more “little” drink. I always ask for some sort of juice or lemonade, it appeases me but it’s not too obvious
✨Whem you’re getting dressed, put on a pair of cute socks! They’ll keep you warm and let you still have that small feeling
✨Or dress in your favorite little colors
✨Try soft clothing that may remind you of your onesie,blankie,stuffies ect. Ex. I have a super soft sweater that makes me think of my blankie I use when I regress and it always makes me feel content!
✨Put your hair up real cute! You’ll get lots of compliments and still feel little
✨If you’re in college, you can literally bring a stuffed animal to class. They may say it’s cute or ask why you have it but no one will judge! There are plenty of excuses as to why you have it if you’re not comfortable with just saying you felt like it
✨If you’re in a group gathering and there’s more “kid friendly” snacks, grab a little bowl of those. Barely anyone comments on it and if someone does, you can tell them they’ve been your favorite since you were little (hehe) Or that’s what you felt like getting
✨If it’s acceptable, wear a full onesie like footie pajamas! If you’re going to a friends for a movie, that’s perfectly acceptable! Or if you’re spending the night!
✨Wear a plain onsie with a skirt or jeans over it!
✨I found that water bottles you have to suck on to get water give me the sippy feeling while being very discrete OR Mason Jars with with special screw on caps!
✨If you’re with your caregiver/daddy/mommy/etc. hold their hand or hold on to their sleeve or jacket. Stand behind them (or just slightly behind if you’re in a conversation) when they’re ordering or buying or talking, hold their arm too!
✨Little activities that aren’t suspicious such as: Using chalk in the summer, going to the park, Painting, Drawing, Coloring “big” coloring books, Arts and crafts, Fun bakes like cookies or cakes you can do with your caregiver or friend!
✨If you’re out shopping, go through the kid’s section, say you’re looking for a friend’s kid/neighbor/niece/nephew/son/daughter/cousin/etc.
✨Suckers or Lollipops! Popsickles!
✨If there’s an ice cream truck, get ice cream from there
✨I have colorful post-it notes with reminders on them that I make into shapes on my door! This way, it looks very cute but still has a purpose
✨Have someone do your hair for you
✨If you’re in public with your caregiver, have them open stuff for you
✨I personally really like it when my Daddy orders food for me, If you’re with friends or family, have your caregiver decide with or for you! Or have them order for you! No one minds but if you feel like you have to be discrete simply say you can’t decide
There are tons of others too! Just cause youre in public doesn’t mean you can’t have little things.
