Embracing age regression as an adult is a valid form of self-care and coping. Your feelings are valid, and there's no need to feel embarrassed. Each person's journey is unique, so prioritize your well-being and find comfort in the ways that work for you!
Please, no matter what anyone says, it is not 100% safe to use pacifiers.
this isn’t just about baby pacis. I’m talking about adult size ones too.
over time your teeth will shift if you use a pacifier intensely and for a long time. They will, after prolonged use, cause your teeth to splay/ flare out as well as potentially develop an Over/ underbite. If you feel your bite feels weird after using a pacifier, it’s not all in your head.
I’m not saying these things to scare you but it’s a common misconception that if you have a fully developed mouth than it’s perfectly okay to use adult pacifiers without any repercussions and that’s just not true.
I know our pacifiers can be essential to our mental health, our regression, etc. (plus they’re super adorable) so I’m not telling you to stop using them all together (i myself, am still going to use them). I would however recommend limiting usage to 15 minutes (25 max), try your best not suck incredibly hard on it, clean them before and after every use (because bacteria), wear your retainer or Invisalign regularly if you have them, and most importantly talk to your dentist or orthodontist because everyone is different. You may not experience these issues in the way I have or at all.
Please be careful ♥
Trans regressors are 100% valid, plus size regressors are 100% valid, alternative regressors are 100% valid, all regressors are 100% valid. Age regression is not one size fits all, age regression is a coping mechanism and sometimes trauma response. Not one persons regression will ever be someone else’s just be kind to others and don’t be mean!
