Age Play Gear and Accessories

Diving into the world of age play often means amassing a delightful collection of gear and accessories that help set the scene. While you can age play with no special props at all (imagination is free!), many find that using certain items – be it a pacifier or a school uniform – really enhances their experience and helps them feel in character. Here we’ll go through some popular age play gear, ranging from the cute and cuddly to the explicitly kinky. You certainly don’t need all or even any of these, but it’s fun to know what’s out there in case something piques your interest. We’ll also mention a bit about where to find these items and how to use them safely.

1. Pacifiers and Bottles: These are iconic for anyone doing the adult baby or little toddler style play. You can actually buy adult-sized pacifiers (yes, they make them larger to fit an adult mouth comfortably)Reference. Sucking on a pacifier can instantly make a little feel small and help them self-soothe. It also muffles their speech (or moans) adorably. Similarly, **baby bottles or sippy cups** can be used for drinks. You can fill them with juice, warm milk (for authenticity – maybe even add a tiny bit of vanilla or honey for taste), or any beverage the little likes. The act of the caregiver holding the bottle while the little lies in their lap can be very nurturing. Some ABs also enjoy sippy cups with child-like designs for less extreme regression. Pro tip: If you use real milk, be careful about letting it sit out (for hygiene); also, cleaning bottles thoroughly after use is important to avoid spoilage or smells – get a bottle brush. Pacifier clips (those ribbons that clip the paci to clothing) are also available so the paci doesn’t get lost during play.

2. Stuffed Animals and Blankets: A stuffie (stuffed animal) is often a little’s best friend. Many littles have a favorite teddy bear or plushie they incorporate into play. They can cuddle it, talk to it, or the caregiver can animate it (“Mr. Bunny says it’s time for bed!”). These provide comfort and a sense of companionship. They’re also great for caregivers to use as tools – like demonstrating on a teddy how to take medicine or how to behave. Soft blankets, especially ones with kiddie patterns, can serve as a “blankie” for the little to cling to. Also consider play mats or plush rugs if you’re going full baby mode (crawling around). These items are easy to find; you might even have sentimental stuffies from your childhood, but you can also buy new ones (or win them at the fair for your little, classic!).

3. Clothing and Costumes: What a little wears can dramatically affect their mindset. Here are some options:

• Onesies: Not the kind adult fashion calls onesies nowadays, but like actual baby-style onesies (a one-piece shirt that snaps at the crotch). They make adult-sized onesies in cute prints (many ABDL shops sell them)Reference. These are great for keeping a diaper in place if that’s involved, or just giving that infantile look. They’re comfy and stretchy.

• Footed Pajamas: Those one-piece PJs with feet (sometimes called blanket sleepers) come in adult sizes too. Perfect for a bedtime scene or a lazy Saturday morning cartoon session. They feel very engulfing and comforting.

• Diapers: If you’re doing diaper play, you’ll need either adult diapers or good-quality reusable cloth diapers with covers. There are entire companies that make diapers for ABDL community with cute prints, higher absorbency, etc. (e.g., Rearz, ABU – to name a couple). If using diapers, also have baby powder (talc-free recommended these days) and maybe diaper rash cream (some like the smell as it’s authentic). Diapering an adult for the first time can be tricky – practice folding if cloth, or taping snugly if disposable. Pro tip: place a towel or changing mat down to protect bedding during changes. Also, have a plan for disposal because adult diapers are big; scented trash bags or a diaper genie (yes, some ABs even use those) can contain smell if needed.

• Pull-ups/Training Pants: For those in between toddler and kid, there are also cutesy pull-up style pants for adults. Or you can use the lookalike – there are printed underwear that mimic kids’ designs (with dinosaurs or unicorns etc.).

• Childhood Clothing: Depending on age range, consider outfits like overalls, dungarees, shortalls (short overalls – very toddlerish especially if made in childish fabrics), sailor suits, ruffled dresses (for little girls, like toddler dress with pinafore), Mary Jane shoes and frilly socks, cartoon T-shirts, etc. Thrift stores and online can get you these. For littles in middle range, think of 90s or 2000s teen clothes or whatever aligns with the age (a My Little Pony shirt for a 8-year-old vibe, for example, or a Hogwarts uniform if they’re playing a young teen wizard).

• School Uniforms: If doing school scenes, acquiring a schoolgirl uniform (plaid skirt, white blouse, knee socks) or a stricter one (blazer, tie) can be hot. For boys, maybe a dress shirt and short trousers with suspenders for a 1950s schoolboy look, or a modern uniform with polo shirt and slacks. Such costumes are widely available because they’re also common Halloween outfits or sexy costumes.

• Costumes and Cosplay: If your little likes specific characters or themes, they might have a princess costume, superhero cape, or animal onesie (kigurumi) they wear as part of play. Whatever makes them feel in the right headspace is good gear.

• Aprons/Bibs: A cute bib that says “Daddy’s Messy Eater” or something can be a fun touch during meal play. Also, a caregiver might wear an apron when feeding or baking with the little to feel “parental.”

4. Furniture and Room Setup: This can be an investment, but some enthusiasts go far:

• Crib or Playpen: Yes, you can actually get or build adult-sized cribs. They are expensive and big, so not for everyone. Some crafty folks convert an Ikea bed into a makeshift crib by adding side rails. A playpen could be simulated with large pillows or a corner of the room gated off. These are by no means necessary, but they are the ultimate AB props. If not, even just having a designated “little space” corner with toys and a soft rug can serve a similar psychological function.

• Changing Table: Probably not a full furniture piece, but a changing mat or area (like a waterproof pad on the bed) where changes always happen can create routine.

• Potty Chair: Believe it or not, adult potty chairs (for age play, not just medical ones) exist in some places, or you can get a larger kids’ one if the person is petite. More practically, some use a kiddie toilet seat insert on the real toilet if doing potty-training roleplay.

• High Chair: This is super niche, but a few companies or DIYers have made adult high chairs for feeding scenes. Otherwise, simulate by using a regular chair and maybe a tray table.

• Desk and Chalkboard: For school scenarios, having a little desk for the “student” and a small blackboard or whiteboard for the “teacher” to write on can set the mood.

5. BDSM and Fetish Gear Adapted for Age Play: If your style of age play crosses with BDSM, you can integrate typical kink gear but in an ageplay-flavored way.

• Restraints: Padded leather cuffs in pink or baby blue can be used to tie a “naughty child” to the bed for a spanking. Even pacifier gags (a pacifier with a strap) exist, bridging baby gear and bondage gear.

• Collars: Some littles wear a collar like other submissives, but maybe a cute one with a bow or engraved “Daddy’s girl” on it to reflect their dynamic.

• Paddles and Canes: If discipline is a thing, having implements. There are paddles that say “Brat” or have playful designs, or you might just use a traditional ruler (fits the school theme), a hairbrush (classic for over-the-knee spankings), or a belt (for that serious dad vibe). Always use these safely – test intensity, avoid too harsh unless consensually into heavy pain, etc.

• Chastity Devices: For an extreme route, sometimes a “Daddy” might put a male little in a chastity cage to enforce innocence (“Little boys who misbehave get their pee-pees locked up”). Only if both are into that level of control. There are also female chastity belts but that’s rare in these scenarios.

• Enemas and Thermometers: This skews to a medical play fetish, but in some age play, a caregiver might give a “child” an enema for punishment or health (“This will teach you not to lie, a good cleaning out!”) or use an old-style rectal thermometer to “take temperature.” These are quite invasive forms of play – absolutely only do with hygiene and consent in mind. Use proper equipment (enema bulbs or bags with lube, distilled water or saline solution, not too hot/cold). They definitely reinforce helplessness and authority but are not everyone’s cup of tea.

• Rope or Harnesses: Some littles enjoy a kind of infant harness or toddler leash (there are cute ones that look like backpacks with a tether). It can be used ironically to keep a “toddler” from running off during an outing (some conventions or parties actually have littles toddling on leashes held by their caregiver). Or simple rope ties if a “teen” is being tied to the bed in a pseudo-non-consent scene.

6. Age-Appropriate Toys and Games: We touched on many: coloring books (get some Crayola and kids’ coloring books, or those adult coloring books if they prefer complexity but it’s still calming), board games (Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders – easy ones that fit the theme), children’s storybooks, building blocks or Lego, stuffed toys. Even a tablet with kids’ games or nursery rhyme apps could be considered a “toy” nowadays. Having these on hand means you can incorporate them spontaneously (“While Mommy is cooking, why don’t you play with your blocks on the kitchen floor where I can see you?”).

7. Sensory Items: Some littles enjoy sensory play – like a bin of kinetic sand, slime (which littlesroyale has, noted as fidget toys), play dough, squishy fidget toys, etc. These keep little hands busy and mind engaged. Also, bubble bath solution for bath time, night-light (projector with stars, etc., for bedtime atmosphere), or a music box or lullaby speaker can set mood.

When acquiring gear:

• You can find a lot on specialty ABDL websites or Etsy for custom cute things (like handmade adult bibs, embroidered paci clips, etc.). Some known stores: Rearz (for diapers, they also have clothing), Littleforbig (makes clothing, pacifiers, etc.), Onesies Downunder, etc. Regular retailers like Amazon have some generic adult baby stuff nowadays too.

• For non-explicit things, thrift stores or toy stores are your friend. You’d be surprised: large toddler shirts can fit petite adults as crop tops, boys’ XL Underoos (character underwear) might fit small adults, and kids’ section backpacks for a Diaper bag or something. Don’t be shy about buying kids’ items; no one usually bats an eye (they might assume it’s a gift for a niece/nephew).

• DIY: Many creative age players DIY gear, e.g., decorating a plain pacifier with resin gems (“paci bling” making), sewing their own childish-pattern adult-sized clothes, or converting furniture.

Care and Maintenance: Keep everything clean, especially if bodily fluids get on them (diapers obviously disposable, but cloth diapers/bibs etc. wash immediately). If you use baby powder, note talcum can be bad to inhale and also messy; consider cornstarch-based powders. Plastic sheets on mattress if expecting “accidents” or for messy play like finger painting on bed – helps prevent damage.

Privacy concerns: If you live with others or have visitors, you might need to hide or store this gear discreetly. Perhaps have a trunk or lockable closet. Some pieces (like stuffed animals) might pass as normal, but an adult-sized high chair or a stash of diapers might raise eyebrows. Be mindful if that’s an issue. Also, be aware of disposing diaper waste discreetly (tightly bag and put outside trash, etc.).

Don’t forget comfort: The little’s comfort is paramount. Some fetish clothing like PVC baby dresses look cute but may not be comfy for long wear – maybe reserve for short scenes or photos. Soft cottons are best for long-term play. Also consider temperature: footed PJs get hot, so maybe have water and breaks so your little doesn’t overheat.

In summary, gear and accessories are wonderful tools to help create the fantasy environment and deepen immersion. They can trigger that “little space” headspace quickly (sucking a pacifier might instantly calm and regress someone). However, not everyone will want or need the full kit. Some age players keep it minimal for convenience or because heavy gear can occasionally pull them out of role if it feels too contrived. It’s all about what works for you. Maybe you only care about having your special teddy bear and one of Daddy’s old shirts to wear as pajamas – that alone might be enough. Or maybe you’re the type who wants the complete nursery. There’s no wrong approach.

One of the joys in an age play relationship can actually be shopping for gear together (even if covertly). Browsing a site and saying “Oh my gosh look at this cute onesie!” or going to Walmart and picking out a kid’s blanket you both know is for your littlespace can be bonding. It’s a way of validating the dynamic in real life.

Ultimately, gear should serve the play, not dominate it. They’re tools to help you feel safe, excited, and in-character. Equipped with the right plushie in hand or snug in that cartoon-print onesie, you might find it’s ten times easier to let go of adult worries and fully embrace the role. So, stock that toy box, fill that diaper bag, or iron that school uniform – whatever suits your brand of make-believe – and let the accessories enrich your journey into age play.
