Sensory Sock-Medium

I got this for my child, and it has honestly been a great addition for sensory play and getting some of that extra energy out. As a mom, I love finding things that keep my child active while also helping with sensory needs, and this does both. The material feels durable, and the medium size fit well for my 6-year-old. My child enjoys crawling inside, stretching, rolling around, and just having that deep-pressure feeling. It’s also nice because it gives them something safe to do when they’re feeling overstimulated or just need to move their body. The blue color is cute too! Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a fun sensory outlet for their kids.

I originally bought this for my son about 3 years ago. He’s Level 3 autistic and has pretty significant sensory needs, so when I first got it he honestly didn’t really understand what he was supposed to do with it and wasn’t very interested. Now that he’s older he actually loves it and will use it on his own. He likes the pressure and movement from being inside it, and it’s nice seeing something I bought years ago finally click for him. So if your child doesn’t care about it right away, I wouldn’t necessarily give up on it. For us it just took time.

Our son loves this and the comfort and fun he has and is soft and durable and adds just a little bit of compression. He is very claustrophobic, but this is loose enough!

*****UPDATE**** January 2023 We still have this and it's still going strong. At this point my son is 9, and still occasionally gets inside it. It has held up to some seriously rough use over the years. It has, on more than one occasion, had FOUR entire kids inside it. I'd say it's a wee bit stretched out now, but the seams have held perfectly. It even got a couple small holes (from an excited dog) that I haven't bothered to repair, and they haven't stretched/torn or gotten any larger. My son for quite a while would climb into this, and then add as many throw blankets and pillows as he could and hang out in it. Often his little sister would climb in too. It felt like a weird replica of the Jan Brett kids book, The Mitten. In summary, after about 4 years of hard use, it's still in almost perfect shape. Totally worth the buy. I'm still recommending it to friends with sensory kids. Original review >>> I really like this - as does my sensory 6 year old. My son is 48" tall and this fits him now, but also has room to grow. He's always trying to climb between the sheets and mattress on our beds, and also likes to wrap himself up in blankets. He used to climb inside pillowcases when he was smaller, as well as try to wear his sleeping bag everywhere. I figured this would be a nice addition to our sensory toolbox for him. It's easy for him to climb into, there is a tag on an outside corner so he uses that to tell where the bottom is for his feet. We have, however had one issue with it. The smell! I noticed a few other reviews mention it, and yes, there is one. It is strong! It smelled sort of like a super strong vinegar smell. As a result, my son refused to wear it at first because 'it smells like vomit' (his words). I put it in a large mesh laundry bag, washed on warm with tide free and clear detergent (with a regular clothing load) and dried on the cotton setting in the dryer. It washed up just fine, the mesh bag protected it from getting snagged or damaged. But the smell was still there!! So I washed it a second time, and this time I hung it to dry outside overnight (it's still nice warm weather where we are). That got rid of it. Not a huge deal, exactly. But given the market this is made for, it's somewhat annoying that they don't address it somehow. Either by dealing with it on their end before sale, or sending it with instructions to wash it a few times first so your sensory and therefore sensitive kid doesn't just reject it out of hand. I've docked a star for this. Because yes, a couple washes and it was fixed. But it was unpleasant and unexpected and it required a bit of talking to even get my son to wear it again after that (because again, sensory little human). Other than the smell, it's good thick lycra fabric. He doesn't overheat and can breathe just fine with his head inside. The seams are serged with a stretchy thread, and overall it looks like it'll hold up pretty well to a very rough and tumble kid. I'm happy I bought it. Also, to anyone who is a sewer, you can totally make this, or the pillowcase style. I got this one because I wanted to try it out. But I will buy fabric and make a second for my son and another for his little sister. I'd say between cutting and sewing you'd whip this up in about a hour, it's a straightforward sew.

Anyone that has a child that is over active at home , can’t sit still for learning homework and all ways into something because of the hyper that comes with ADHD. Buy one of these, my grandson and granddaughter are very stable from the first day of wearing. They are 6 years old and all they did the first couple days was roll around on floor trying to be a star. And they didn’t want them off at bedtime it helped them relax and get to sleep no fuss. The best gift ever from grandma.

My child loves to chew on this while it's on and it definitely calms him. Price point was fine, stretchy material, and a good size.

I purchased this in blue for our on-spectrum, non-verbal grandson. Here are my pros and cons reviews. I would like a small non-slip in the foot. I am unsure how to accomplish this without interfering with the product or causing the user to "pick," but I would like to see a product test with no-slip feet. Pro, soft, breathable, wearable, washes easily. It is like a big hug or a big, roomy onezy. I suggest purchasing a second and alternate use so that the wear is even. I wouldn't want to pull out a new one and have it not work because it feels different.

My son really likes this, however I am really sad I didn't size down. He is almost 7 and 50-75% for his size. He easily needed the small. If you want it to feel like a true sensory sock, then order down. ALL FOUR of my kids can fit in this one medium size. It can't give him the snug feeling he craves being this big so now it just feels like an expensive toy versus a therapy toy. While the sizing isn't accurate, the quality and material is nice. It is extremely stretchy.

It's so very disappointing. After 2 months, it's needs to be inflated every few hours. Just hoping I can still get a replacement.

Excellent stretchy bag for helping with ASD. Size is good for a tall near 8 year old
