What are adult babies?

Being an adult baby and everything it involves can vary a lot from person to person.

Typically it will involve an adult dressing up as a baby, wearing and using nappies and being treated like a child.

A common misconception of the fetish is that adult babies are after sexual contact with actual children and babies, which they're not.

There are actual stores that exist in the US for adult babies which allow them to buy nappies and "baby clothes" but in adult sizes.

What causes them to do it?

The reasoning behind why exactly the fully grown adults decide to dress up and act like children can't be found in one simple answer.

For some, it's a method of healing and a way to rid them of childhood trauma.

For others, it's merely a way to relax and unwind from the tensions of being an adult, and apparently it's very popular.

How big is the UK ABDL scene?

The ABDL scene in the UK's actual size is yet to be confirmed, but there have been reports on adult babies from across Britain.

An Adult Baby Club (ABC) exists in King's Cross, London, where they host regular parties in a "safe place".

Parties run on the third Saturday of every month, and it's for members only.

However, memberships can be bought for £16.
