Effective Solutions for Overstimulation and Sensory Sensitivities

How Blusss Sensory Products Make a Difference – In Practice

Understanding Sensory Sensitivities: A Daily Challenge

In my work at Mind-Z, I get many questions about sensory processing. People with autism or ADHD often deal with either hypersensitivity (too much input) or hyposensitivity (too little input). It affects how they experience sound, light, textures, clothing, and even their own body signals.

That’s why I love working with Blusss (formerly SAM Sensory). The products are thoughtfully designed to meet real sensory needs—without looking or feeling “medical.” As a practice coordinator supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and adults, I see the impact every day.

Common Sensory Challenges I See

When I talk with clients, a few common struggles come up:

• Hypersensitivity: discomfort from seams, loud noises, bright lights, strong tastes or textures.

• Hyposensitivity: not noticing pain or hunger, needing deep pressure to calm down, bumping into things, or making loud noises.

To assess this, I often use the Sensory Profile by Olga Bogdashina. Once we know someone’s sensory pattern, it becomes easier to find the right tools—like the ones Blusss offers.

Blusss Sensory Clothing: Comfort Without Compromise

Blusss clothing is a game-changer for clients who struggle with regular fabrics and seams. Even removing tags isn’t enough if the material itself feels rough or itchy. Blusss uses ultra-soft fabrics and seamless construction to make sure clothes feel just right.

One of my absolute favorite items? The sensory underwear. It’s incredibly hard to find underwear that doesn’t irritate—and this one gets it right.

And then there are the seamless sensory socks. Many of my clients wear socks inside out to avoid seams, but it’s not a perfect solution. Blusss socks solve this with soft, flat-knit seams and non-elastic cuffs. No tightness, no discomfort—just calm feet all day.

Smart Tools for Calm and Focus

Other essentials I recommend often include:

• The weighted collar: calming deep pressure for the shoulders and neck.

• The chewy fidget: discreet, wearable, and safe to chew.

• The ZenKey sensory keychain: quiet and grounding—perfect for school or work.

Many common sensory toys (like fidget cubes or tangles) can be noisy or visually distracting. These Blusss tools are silent, soothing, and stylish.

Why I Recommend Blusss to Families and Professionals

There’s so much thought in every Blusss design:

• Quality fabrics – unbelievably soft, breathable, and durable.

• Seams that don’t irritate – often stitched on the outside, yet barely noticeable.

• Subtle and stylish – no “special needs” look, just cool and neutral colors.

This means kids don’t stand out at school, and teens or adults feel confident wearing their sensory clothes in any setting. No awkward questions. Just comfort and inclusion.

“These small but meaningful changes help children feel more included and comfortable in their daily lives.”

Real-Life Impact: What I See in My Practice

One boy I worked with couldn’t wear long pants—only shorts, even in winter. But with Blusss sensory trousers, he finally could. Another child only wore Crocs, refusing shoes because of sock discomfort. The seamless socks changed that.

Even I personally use the weighted collar! After a day of work at my desk, I feel my shoulders relax, my headache eases, and I feel more grounded. It’s a simple but powerful tool.
