Pawske Party wants to be as tolerant and welcoming as possible towards all attendees. This means we wish to be as permissive as possible, as long as this does not cause offense among other attendees and people who share the public spaces.

This can include, for example, bondage gear, harnesses, or muzzles; or materials such as rubber, latex, spandex, or lycra.

Leashes are never permitted on persons (including fursuiters) for safety reasons. No body paint is allowed. Offensive or sexual content on otherwise appropriate clothing, for example prints on t-shirts etc., can be disallowed by the staff. Use common sense.

Questions regarding rules for clothing and outfits should be directed to the chairman.
