How a Weighted Bag Helps My Sensitive Child Unwind After School

"Can I Keep It On, Mum?"
Bieke and Tuur Test the CalmDesign Weighted Bag
A Therapeutic Bag That Brings Calm
Today, I’m excited to share our experience with the CalmDesign Bag from Blusss — a weighted hip bag designed to support highly sensitive individuals through deep pressure. As a high sensitivity expert, I tested it myself and with my son, Tuur. We were both genuinely impressed by the calming impact it had.
Why We Tested the CalmDesign Bag
My son Tuur, like me, is highly sensitive. After a busy school day, filled with noise and impressions, he often feels overwhelmed. When we got the chance to try out the CalmDesign Bag, I hoped it would help him unwind and feel more grounded.

Helping Kids Cope With Sensory Overload
Instant Relief Through Deep Pressure
Right from the first time Tuur put on the bag, the effect was noticeable. The gentle, deep pressure of the weight helped him relax. His spontaneous reaction said it all: “Can I wear this every day after school?” It was beautiful to see how it gave him immediate calm after a hectic day.
My Personal Experience With the Bag
A Safe Cocoon Around Me
Of course, I had to try it too. I wore the bag crossbody during a shopping trip. With every step, I felt more grounded, as if the weight was creating a cocoon of calm around me. That subtle pressure gave a real sense of safety — something I know many highly sensitive people often long for.
More Than Just a Stylish Bag
Thoughtfully Designed for Sensory Needs
The CalmDesign Bag is not just a bag. It’s a tool — made with care, combining function, comfort, and style. The ergonomic shape fits well to the body. The weighted pockets bring calm. And the whole design is subtle enough to wear daily, even in public spaces.
A Valuable Tool for Sensitive Lives
As someone who works with sensitive individuals, I can say with confidence: this bag is a powerful support. Whether you need it for school, work, travel, or just the chaos of everyday life — it’s a safe haven in a busy world.
Warm regards,
