#regression tips

[oh-youaresogood]

hi mama. new anon here bc im a bit shy.

been struggling to regress a bit lately. thought i'd ask if you had any tips.

Hi my new little love!

Thank you so much for being brave and sending an ask through. You’re so so welcome here.

I can definitely share some tips, and maybe some of the other little loves can share below of any of theirs?

For intentional regression, I try to make sure I’m as calm as I can be first. Listening to music helps me, or watching my favourite movies.

Is there something specific you can wear to help you regress? For me, a huge oversized shirt and/or fluffy socks help me! I’m not sure of your pronouns or how you present (please come back and share them if you’d like!) but having my hair in pigtails or using big scrunchies makes me feel cute and small, and then using a really nice body wash in the shower.

Then something physical. Do you have a stuffie/plushie? Cuddling it close, or taking it with you while you do tasks can help. When I regress, my Lambie comes with me to do all my chores and if I work from home and am having a bad day, he sits there next to me as well.

Then your favourite foods and drinks too! Yes, we should always eat healthy meals and fuel our body as best we can but if there’s ever a time for a sweet treat, I think it’s when I’m regressed or trying to be.

I hope this helps, even a little!

As I said, if you’d like to stick around a while I’d appreciate you sending your pronouns through and any nicknames you like to be called so I can make you as comfortable as possible here with us 🫂

Don’t forget to pick an emoji too!

Tips for new regressors ♡

Build yourself a safe space for regression

Find coloring books for kids, don’t worry about staying inside the lines or anything!

Find shows and movies that help you feel younger!

Know regression can be used by anyone at any age!!

Know regression can look different for everyone, it does not make it invalid!

If you’re able to, look into age regression gear!

Remember your regression is yours! Don’t let someone else tell you it’s invalid or wrong! ♡

How to tell someone about your regression?

First I want to say that you don't have to tell anyone about your regression. It doesn't make you any less valid. Your regression is special to you and you shouldn't feel pressured to tell anyone.

You want to make sure you are safe when telling the person/people you want to tell.

Maybe ask them if they have heard about it and whats their opinion is on it.

Think of a plan on how you want to bring it up to them. this could be face to face, over the phone, through a letter, or any way you feel most comfortable.

Make sure you have a good way to explain what age regression is. Explain how it isn't anything gross or sexual. Explain what it means to you and why you regress(of course if you are comfortable)

Once you explain to them maybe give them some sources to do some of their own research.

I may have missed some things you think would help someone if so put them in the comments. Just remember you don't have to tell anyone at all about your regression.

Regression Tip!

Need regression stuff but you're hiding your regression?

Here's a list of things along with excuses for why you have them!

💜KIDS TOOTH BRUSH💜 - there's so many cute tooth brushes out there! You can get some super cute ones that come in a little travel case from the dollar store!

The excuse? Say your gums hurt/bleed when you brush with a regular brush! The kids tooth brushes are super soft and don't make your gums bleed when you brush!

💜SIPPY/BOTTLE SUBSTITUTE💜 - the dollar store once again comes to the rescue! They have a lot of water bottles, and a lot that have the pop up caps! Just look for what you like! You could also go and get a juice bottle (like Gatorade) and wash it once you're done and keep using it for water!

💜PACIFIER💜 - for a substitute, you could use Ring Pops or lollipops, or I have a post about sour pacifier candy from Amazon if you have the ability to online order!

However, if you have somewhere to hide things that definitely no one will find, the dollar store has a lot of cute stuff in the baby section! They might not have the brand MAM, but I found that the smaller paci sizes make me feel really smol!

💜APPS💜 - apps that I really like are puzzle apps that let you use your own pictures! If others ask why you have that app, just say you like puzzles!

Regression Tip!

Tired of the woman's and men's shoe sections not having the shoes you want?

If your shoe size is small enough, you might be lucky!

My shoe size is an 8 in women. My kid shoe size, is a size 5!

When it comes to kid shoe size, the larger the number, the smaller the shoe! If you are a size 7 in women shoe, you might want a size 4 in kids shoe!

How to explain why you got kids shoes? They're cuter AND (sometimes) less expensive!

Paci candy!

If you're hiding your regression from others in your household, this candy is perfect!

All of them taste amazing and the paci part is actually shaped like a paci! It works really well as a substitute paci if you can't risk getting an actual one, and it makes a really tasty compromise :D if people ask, just say they taste super good and maybe offer one if you have one to spare!
