Giving Sensory Clothing a Second Life: Our Visit to Het GielsBos in Gierle

Second Life Sensory Clothing for More Comfort and Calm

Giving Sensory Clothing a Second Life: Our Visit to Het GielsBos in Gierle

Many children, teenagers and adults with sensory needs struggle with clothing every single day.Labels, seams, rough fabrics or tight waistbands can cause irritation, stress and even challenging behaviour. At Blusss we design sensory-friendly clothing that feels soft, calm and safe on the body.Recently we decided to go one step further: giving our sensory pieces a second life. Why Second Life Sensory Clothing Matters Sensory-friendly clothing is more than “comfortable fashion”.For people with sensory processing differences, autism, intellectual disabilities or high sensitivity, it is often a real support tool. Second life sensory clothing means: less waste and more circular fashion high-quality, sensory-friendly pieces that stay in use longer extra support for organisations that work with vulnerable groups In this project we collected: clothing that became too small for my own son Blusss samples that were still in perfect condition All of them: soft, tag-free and designed for sensory comfort. Meeting Het GielsBos: A Green Care Environment in the Kempen For this second life action we reached out to professionals and care organisations who might be interested in sensory-friendly clothing.We received many lovely reactions. One of them came from Het GielsBos in Gierle. Het GielsBos is a large care facility in the heart of the Antwerp Kempen, on a green 85-hectare domain. Children and adults with a disability can live, stay, enjoy day care, work with support or receive guidance there.  It is: a place to live and feel at home a place to experience nature, activities and community a place where every person gets support tailored to their needs Their team looks every day for ways to improve quality of life, comfort and wellbeing for their residents. How Sensory-Friendly Clothing Supports Residents During my visit I was warmly welcomed by Tiny Lauwers.She told me more about the challenges they see with some residents: clothing that feels too tight or scratchy labels and seams that cause constant irritation agitation or behavioural changes linked to physical discomfort In these situations, sensory-friendly clothing can play a small but powerful role: soft, breathable fabrics reduce skin irritation seamless or flat-seam designs avoid rubbing and pressure points tag-free and elastic waistbands give more freedom of movement calm, neutral designs feel less overwhelming for many people This brings not only more physical comfort, but can also support emotional regulation and behaviour. What We Brought to Het GielsBos Blusss delivered a large box filled with: soft sensory trousers, T-shirts, hoodies soft seamless underwear and socks sample pieces from our collection with calm, neutral colours All items are: designed to be sensory-friendly made with soft, breathable materials The goal is simple: give residents more comfort around their body, with clothing that supports their sensory needs instead of creating extra stress. Impact on Wellbeing and Behaviour Clothing will never be the only answer.But from our experience with families and professionals, we know that the right clothing can influence: how calm a person feels in their own body how long they can tolerate an outfit during the day how much energy is left for learning, play or social contact frequency and intensity of meltdowns related to physical discomfort If a resident feels less “attacked” by their clothes, there is often more space for connection, activities and rest. That is exactly what we hope to contribute to at Het GielsBos: small moments of extra comfort that, over time, can make a real difference. Curious About the Residents’ Experiences We are very curious to hear how the residents of Het GielsBos experience these second life sensory pieces: Which items do they reach for most often? Do caregivers notice changes in comfort or behaviour? What could we improve in future designs for this group? Their feedback is incredibly valuable for us as a brand.It helps us design sensory-friendly clothing and accessories that truly support people with complex needs in daily life. Want to Join the Second Life Movement? This second life action is only a first step.In the future we would love to: set up more second life projects with care organisations collect gently used sensory-friendly clothing from families connect these items to children, teenagers and adults who need them Are you a professional, school or care facility working with people with sensory needs or disabilities?Or are you a parent or caregiver who wants to know more about sensory-friendly clothing? Feel free to reach out to us at Blusss. Email: hello@blusss.comTogether we can give calm, sensory-friendly clothing a second life – and bring a little more comfort and wellbeing to bodies that need it most. 💙

A MoodMagic wristband for non-verbal Communication and Sensory Play

A MoodMagic wristband for non-verbal Communication and Sensory Play

Do you have those moments when you would love to be able to read your child's thoughts? Moments when you are desperately trying to understand what is going on. But your child has no way of making it clear. Because putting feelings into words is very difficult. Resulting in frustration, overstimulation and meltdowns. As the mother of a son with sensory sensitivities, I know the feeling. You feel powerless and sad. You would love to have something that would help you understand your child better. Something that could help you stay connected even during those difficult moments. When my son was little, he often struggled to tell me what he needed. That's why I wanted to design something that would allow him to subtly indicate: ‘I need a break’. ‘Can I have a hug?’ ‘Can you help me?’ or simply ‘Stop!’ My wish came true with the MoodMagic Sensory Sleeve. A magical wristband that changes colour when you touch it. So your child can let you know - without words - what's on their mind.  “With the MoodMagic sleeve, my son can let me know when he needs help - without tears or a meltdown.”   The MoodMagic Sensory Sleeve Children often find it difficult to put their emotions and needs into words. The MoodMagic Sensory Sleeve is specially designed to make this easier. It helps children subtly and playfully ask for help and reduce tension. By touching it with your warm hand, the black heat-sensitive layer disappears and reveals the underlying pattern, allowing children to signal that something is wrong. The MoodMagic sleeve is a magical tool that allows children to communicate without words. Visual communication The sleeve reacts to heat and changes colour when touched. Together, you decide what the colour changes mean. Sensory Play Playing with the magic wristband helps children process stimuli and release tension.   “Before, I would lose touch when he was frustrated, sad or angry, but now he can let me know what's wrong without words.”    Communicating in your own magical language  The MoodMagic sleeve changes colour with the warmth of your hand. Together, you decide what the colour changes and patterns mean in different situations. In this way, you create your own magical language, which is only yours. For example, if your child changes colour the MoodMagic band at a family event, you will know that it means: ‘Shall we go outside for a bit, mum?’ Away from the crowds and away from the stimuli.   Why we believe in the MoodMagic Sleeve  As parents and innovators, we know how important it is to have tools that really work. The MoodMagic Sleeve offers a unique combination of sensory play and subtle communication. We first tested the concept in schools and in home situations. The children found it magical and immediately called it ‘their superpower’. I will never forget that moment.    “My daughter loves how the colours keep changing. Playing with it calms her down.”   The power of understanding and connection We designed the MoodMagic sleeve with a focus on what really works. We know from experience how important it is to stay connected together. Especially in this busy and exciting month when stress and overstimulation are more common. The magic wristband ensures that you stay connected in a playful way. Your child can easily indicate what it needs and you no longer have to constantly guess what is going on in that little head.  We invite you to discover the Moodmagic Sleeveand give your child the superpower to express emotions and needs more easily.
