• In Atkinson, New Hampshire, a new business is stirring up controversy: The Diaper Spa is a haven for adults who role-play as children.
Boston.com reported that the spa is open to "all diaper-wearing individuals who seek acceptance, respite and care."
The facility is decorated like a nursery, with toys and adult-sized cribs.
Services range from $200 an hour for virtual playdates to a $1,500-a-day experience that pampers "the little one inside of you."
The owner, Dr. Colleen Ann Murphy, said the community of ABDL (adult/baby diaper lovers) is vast.
"Being a part of this community brings comfort and solace," she said, and added that her services do not have a sexual component.
Some Atkinson residents are concerned, though.
"That is something that I will never be willing to expose my kids to," said Kayla Gallagher. "People tend to fear anything that they fail to comprehend," Murphy countered.
