Testing Sensory-Friendly Underwear and Seamless Socks for Highly Sensitive Girls Morning Dramas with Problem Socks and Uncomfortable Underwear Hi, I’m Sandra from France. Besides running my lovely little store Les Crodiles, I’m also a proud mom of two girls, nearly 5 and 3. My oldest daughter has shown signs of tactile sensitivity from a young age, something I became more aware of thanks to my professional background. Everything Could be a problem Honestly, mornings were chaos. Socks were the first trigger: the texture, the toe seam, the height… nothing ever felt “right.” It was exhausting. And as if that wasn’t enough, underwear soon became the next problem—labels, seams, tight elastic bands… cue the tears. My Daughter’s Sensory Perception with Tactile Sensitivity She refused tights early on—just too uncomfortable. That’s when I started researching, mostly via Instagram (guilty!), and I also reached out to occupational therapists for advice. Bit by bit, I began to understand her world better. Sensory-Friendly Clothing for Highly Sensitive Individuals During my research, I found a brand called Blusss, founded by An Luyten, also a mom with a highly sensitive child. When she saw how her son rejected most clothing, she decided to team up with a fashion designer to create sensory-friendly pieces that really work. My Oldest Girl Tested the Sensory-Friendly Socks and Underwear After chatting with An, I received a few samples to try out: their signature briefs and a pair of socks. My daughter and I were excited to start testing. The Blusss Girls Briefs The softness is the first thing you notice—really! The fabric is OCS certified organic cotton. What’s also great is that there’s no elastic band at the top, so it doesn’t pinch or feel loose. No label anywhere, and no crotch seam either. The only seams are at the sides and they’re so soft, they don’t bother her at all. Her Feedback, Straight from the Source To get honest feedback, I recorded her reactions: How does the underwear feel when you touch it?“Good.” Is there anything bothering you?“No!” Is it soft?“YES—soft, soft, soft, soft, soft!” (singing) How do you feel wearing it?“Very good!” The Bamboo SENS Socks These unisex socks come in sizes 27–46. Made of 97% bamboo and 3% elastane, they’re super soft and breathable. No irritating seams, no threads, no elastic squeezing the ankle—just comfort! One Sock Test I gave her one “regular” sock and one Blusss sock to compare. No hesitation—she immediately chose the Blusss sock! These Bamboo SENS socks are now her clear favorite. Now, Let’s Talk About the Price For some, they might seem pricey. For others, totally worth it. I won’t judge—everyone has their own budget. For me? I’d rather have fewer clothes that work than drawers full of battles. Final Thoughts This discovery made us really happy. And to be honest? At the time I’m writing this, my daughter has already asked to wear the briefs three times. See you soon!Sandra

Mama Lesley talks about the difficult search for girls briefs for her sensitive daughter Ilke and the stressful situation this entailed every morning. 5:45 am, the alarm goes off and I snooze. I'm already starting to think about the approaching drama. 6:15 am, really time to get up now, suppose I don't get her dressed, then I'll be late. We get up and together choose clothes from the closet to put on right away. I already pull the socks inside out and check clothing for labels, tickle edges or something like that. 7am, time to put on the clothes. My daughter immediately starts the fight with “But mommy, those underpants are going in my behind! I don't want that!" I try to calm her down by saying that I understand and that I'm still looking for underwear that won't get between her bottom. About 20-40 minutes later she is usually dressed, but we are both completely upset. Desperate I create another Facebook post asking for tips, underpants I could try. Some tips come out: SEAMLESS underwear from various stores. I look up on the internet for these underwear and make a few orders. I'll leave 1 tip because of the price, which is a shame turns out later. The orders arrive and 1 by 1 they are disappointments, because "seamless" turns out not to be so seamless after all and therefore does not solve the problem at all. My last hope, the common tip to check the Blusss website. I have to be honest, as a single mom, I was hesitant to buy this because of the price. But after a moment of hesitation, I order a 3-pack. After my order I send an email to An because I was still unsure about the size. After some emails back and forth, she decides to send a larger size. Tuesday morning I receive an email from B-Post that my package is expected from SAM today. Well, I was super curious! The order arrived in the morning, I've been looking for a while and yes, completely without that annoying seam. I can't wait to let them try my daughter. This is the first thing we do after school, and HALLELUJA, she already approves them for the time being! The real test comes the morning after, when we dress her all up for school. Wednesday morning I get up with a scared heart and we choose her clothes again. At 7:02 am she is just fully dressed, without whining, without meltdowns and we are not upset! The mornings after that go just as smoothly, my God, what a relief! As the cherry on the cake, my daughter says Friday morning after getting dressed “Thank you mom for finding underwear that won't crawl in my bottom”. Amazing, right?! Thank you very much An, for your advice and for your products, it is absolutely great and well worth the money! We would like to thank Lesley for sharing her story.

“Fantastic! The material is super-smooth. As soon as I put them on, it was clear that it brings a high level of comfort.”– Ida Winterwear that doesn’t irritate: finally something that feels right “If you’re touch-sensitive, you’ll get this: winter clothes often feel too much. Too tight. Too itchy. Too overwhelming. So when I slipped into these soft sweatpants for the first time, it was a relief. Fantastic! The material is super-smooth, I thought. As soon as I put them on, I felt calm. Comfortable.” Why winter dressing is harder when you're sensory sensitive Autumn and winter are beautiful seasons, but for those of us who are touch-sensitive, they can be tricky. More layers often mean more chances of discomfort—scratchy fabrics, annoying seams, tight waistbands. During summer, it’s easier to find soft, breathable clothes. But once the temperature drops, comfort becomes harder to find. And that’s a problem if you want to focus, relax or just feel at ease in your own skin. The search for trousers that don’t overstimulate When you’re highly sensitive to touch, even something as basic as buying sweatpants can become frustrating. I work from home and live in soft clothing—but not all sweatpants are created equal. For me, a ‘good’ pair means:– no itching after hours of wear– no squeezing around the waist– no scratchy seams– and please, no sagging or pilling after a few washes. A brand that gets it I asked around for brands that offer sensory-friendly loungewear, and someone mentioned a small Belgian label: @samsensoryclothing. The owner contacted me and gifted me a pair of their AIR SLIM sweatpants – soft, tag-free and with seams placed on the outside. Tried, tested, and loved I’ve worn them for a week now, and the verdict is clear: comfort from the very first second. The fabric is ultra-smooth, and the fit is just right—gently snug but never tight. Even the length is great (a bit long, but easy to fold). Durability? I’ll need more time to say, but the fabric feels high-quality and strong. For now, I’m really happy with them. Looking for trousers that feel like a soft hug?

We are so happy with the Blusss trousers and socks. A year ago, every morning was a struggle! Not a single sock was right, even socks without a seam were a disaster (because those smart manufacturers still sew the size). Since Jurre wears the Blusss socks, the morning battles are over and we can start the day without a fight. He no longer wants to change his trousers either. There was something about every pair of trousers: an annoying seam, an itchy pocket, a fold in the wrong place... Jurre had one or other comment on every fitting. So from now on, he wears his blue Blusss trousers every day (for those who would think he always wears the same trousers, he has several). We are SUPER fans! You are going to see us regularly among your orders! Nele & Jurre
