AN EDINBURGH venue is hosting an unconventional event for adults who like to dress as babies, offering a bouncy castle, arts and crafts, and a ball pit.
The event, termed the “Littles Lock In” is sponsored by The Dotty Diaper Company who sell adult-sized pacifiers, nappies, and bottles.
It is described as a “fully immersive, non-sexual ABDL event” – ABDL meaning “Adult Baby Diaper Lover”.
The event is being held this weekend at After Dark, an adults-only club in Bankhead, western Edinburgh.
The Dotty Diaper Company describe themselves as “a UK-based healthcare and lifestyle company” who post “quickly, discreetly and worldwide”.
They posted on social media today saying: “It’s the Littles Lock In tomorrow.
“Party time better go get some cake! Your ageplay adventure starts here.”
According to sex therapist Dr. Nazanin Moali, who spoke to Mashable about the concept, ageplay is “a type of a consensual adult role play in which individuals experiment with being in a different age/role than their current developmental phase”.
Organisers of the Littles Lock In, which began in Edinburgh in 2016, say that the event will include a swing, a 22ft bouncy castle, an animatronic triceratops, a cinema playing cartoons, and a custom adult baby gym.
After Dark, where the event is to be held from midday to 6pm, describes itself as “Edinburgh’s premier swinging and kink club”.
Pictures from their website show that their rooms are usually filled with explicitly sexual devices and toys, with the floor of one room completely covered in mattresses.
The Littles Lock In requires attendees to verify that they are over 18, and to comply with rules such as “no nudity or sexual activity” and “no mobile phones outside the locker area”.
They also clarify that “diapers may be on show but must be secured properly, with no leaking and no foul smell”.
The organisation is also planning another “full immersion” event in Derby, taking place in March this year.
The “Lock In” means that doors are locked after 1pm, so that guests can “get into whatever headspace you wish without worrying about who is going to walk in”.
Tickets cost £28 or £30 on the door.
