What is Tactile Overstimulation
For individuals with tactile sensitivity, also known as touch hypersensitivity, everyday touch experiences can feel overwhelming. Certain fabrics, seams, or tags may cause discomfort, irritation, or even distress. This heightened sensitivity can stem from the way the nervous system processes touch—as seen in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)—or from hypersensitive skin, where the skin itself reacts more intensely to fabrics, seams, or environmental factors.
What is Tactile Sensitivity?
Tactile sensitivity occurs when the nervous system overreacts to touch stimuli. This may include:
-
Discomfort with Textures: Certain fabrics or rough materials can feel unbearable.
-
Irritation from Tags and Seams: Small details in clothing can cause ongoing distraction or frustration.
-
Overstimulation from Tightness or Pressure: Clothing that feels constricting can lead to sensory overwhelm.
The Impact of Tactile Overstimulation on Comfort and Well-Being
Tactile overstimulation can lead to emotional responses such as irritability, anxiety, or avoidance of certain clothing. For children and adults alike, finding sensory-friendly clothing is essential to maintaining comfort and focus throughout the day.
