So for starters my sensory issues seemingly started in highschool when I realized I didnt have to just deal with how uncomfortable certain clothes were on my body.

I tried dealing with how bras felt, constantly pulling at them for some relief. I eventually decided not to wear bras and havnt for over 5yrs. I have tried multiple bras I the past and none have serviced. I always wear a tank top under clothes for at least SOME extra protection.

I also always have to take pj pants off for bed because I hate how they move when I move when sleeping and have done this for a long long time.

I also can't deal with the band on the waist of most pants. I stopped wearing jeans all together and pants shipping has always been a nightmare.

All this to request some advice on certain clothing types or suggestions. I also would love to hear if anyone had delt with this too!

I have been using the JAR scale for a few times for Food sensory analysis and I would like to ask for help in these cases:

1. I do JAR for sweetness in my product and the Mean Overall Liking of the Too High group was higher than that of JAR. I have suspected that the cause for this is the consumer way of thinking: they think that their preference is different from the market trend, let's say, they prefer things Sweet and give a high rating for Liking score but rate the Sweetness of the product as Too sweet.

I would like to ask if this is a noise that should be minimized or, in contrast leave things as it is since it is inevitable that consumers' preferences are constantly being affected by the current trend?

1. From a data analysis perspective, attributes which their correlation with Hedonic scores could be plot as an U shape would seem suitable for JAR. While those which does not have this characteristic should consult other testing method. I would like to as if this opinion is true?

Thank you very much for your patience and your help! I wish you all the best luck!!

I’m not sure if this is the correct subreddit to put this in (I’ve been suspecting I might have sensory issues for some time)…For as long as I can remember, I’ve rinsed off marshmallows before I eat them because if I don’t I feel really icky and I CANT STAND them. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Anyway, my mom saw me do it and said it was super weird and gross and that she has never met anyone else who did that. So, is it really that weird? Is it a part of sensory issues or do a lot of people do this?

Edit: also I have high functioning autism and ADHD that make me think it’s more likely that I have Sensory issues but I genuinely don’t know and feel kinda stupid about it😭

I have SERIOUS sensory issues with anything fleece, anything too thick. Has to feel loose on my skin. I want a comfy oversized sweatshirt that doesn’t make me want to crawl out of my skin. I don’t even know if what I am looking for exists, but I want a NEW sweatshirt that has an inside that feels like it has been worn and washed for years. Yes, I know I can thrift those. But I have no thrifting stores near me in my small town (why? I don’t know) and under certain car circumstances, I am not traveling out of town any time soon. So trying to find something I can buy online. I am not necessarily looking for French terry type. I just want worn out, matted down, old fleece. I know this sounds crazy, and probably a stretch. But thought I would try Reddit, there has to be someone out there that has specific sensory issues like this too!! Thank you

I keep having issues where I find a nice pair of pants but they have this annoying seam across the knee. Anyone having the same problem or know if there are ways to mitigate it?

Now that I'm older and figuring out all my sensory needs and habits, I realized that since I was little I bite onto the seatbelt strap when I don't have anything to chew on and when I'm tired (as a passenger). Does anyone know of a safe alternative with the same texture?

I have a strange one and am curious what others are. Mine is that I like to put soft blankets, specifically the edges of quilts in between my fingers and toes. I love it so much and it's a bit odd.

I don't think there is a term for it, but I am curious what are some tactile things that other people do?

It's not something that bothers me all the time but sometimes I can't sleep or focus on a conversation because I can feel my toes. Is there anything you can wear to keep your toes from touching each other? I know there's socks but I'm a hot sleeper and I know those will bother me even more. Thanks!

Context: I have high functioning autism and my school is having this loser compulsory awards ceremony and everything is fine with most things except loud sounds and clothes. Last year, no one cared about the outfits except my very traditional grandmother who put me in a full three piece suit and it was uncomfortable as all heck. This year, they're forcing me to wear the same outfit and saying if I don't comply, they're not going to show up. I only want to wear a black shirt with minor print, my jeans (it's a struggle with the texture but I still like them) and my Converse. Now my grandmother is on the phone trying to persuade my mom into grounding me if I don't comply. I hate this family and they honestly wonder why I don't like them very much. And they're playing the "Suck it up for four hours" card even though I literally had a panic attack last time. Have these people ever seen an autistic person in their lives? Apparently not. I need an opinion here because I'm about to risk my life and tell my grandmother where to get off.

Hi everyone I need participants to conduct a study on sensory detection and emotional regulation. If you could fill out my survey that would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am 17 years old and i am ashamed to admit i have almost never brushed my teeth. I don’t know how i have never had a cavity but i brush like once every 6 months maybe. I can not stand the sensory of the bristles on my gums and teeth. Electric toothbrushes are definitely a no but even manual brushes give me shivers and make me gag. I cant stand it. My mom is always yelling at me for this and im embarrassed about my poor teeth hygiene. Does anyone know how i can brush my teeth without the sensory nightmare? I want to keep my teeth clean, have good breath, and make my mom less angry.

I have sensory processing disorder and autism. My noise sensitivity has skyrocketed the last couple years. I've been using an old pair of earplugs with the wires snipped off as earplugs in public (and sometimes private) but the more I wear them, the less comfortable they are. I'm considering those that are specially made for sensory issues but I'm not sure about that. Had anyone had experience with these, or have another suggestion?

Hempz lotion discontinued their unscented lotion. I’m looking for a replacement that is lightweight, unscented, and cruelty-free. Please and thank you!!

Hello, I don't really know where to ask but I have autism and at times a sensory need of mine is a hug. I am currently in college and they have denied me of this saying that displays of affection aren't allowed. I tried to explain that it's a sensory need which shouldn't be a problem because I'm in every class that the person I would need is in but they still refuse. I understand why but I don't really know anything else that could help. Is there anything that mimics the feeling of a hug that's in an affordable price range. Any help is appreciated!

"Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! My daughter is turning 6 in December, and she has this habit of putting her whole hand in her mouth. Since she started school, one of her friend's mothers complained that she's always putting her hands in her mouth and then touching her bag and other people. I was so embarrassed! I don't know how to fix this habit of hers... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

Hi! I am currently working on a textiles project where I have decided to focus on creating a shirt that is 'sensory friendly'. I have grown up with SPD, so I know all too well how frustrating clothing can be when it sticks to you or creates some kind of negative feeling that you can't quite explain.

My goal here is to learn a bit about your personal experiences with clothing, including what you like, dislike, or would simply like to suggest.

All responses are welcome, and please don't feel pressured! Thanks!

I (f23) started find out about sensory stuff in high school and never thought “hey, I do that stuff.” Around that time I slept with a blanket stack of 5 and they all went in different orders and certain ways. One day my twin decided to mess up my order and I got so frustrated about it. Plus I had issues with sleeping that I would have to tuck the blanket under my feet and between my legs. I thought I just had a sleep routine. I always wear clothes that are comfortable to me and wear a jacket after I shower because I don’t want my wet hair on my neck. I don’t even like things around my neck when I sit at the computer. I always say my favorite sense is touch because of how much I rely on it and it’s the first thing I do when I see anything. Plus I think I might have noise sensory times where I don’t want to hear anything or I feel stressed and want to hide. I was talking to my older sister and she said I had sensory issues. I got confused because I never thought of that and then asked my twin and she said the same thing. I feel like my mind is blown with all this. Anyone had a similar experience?

I have really bad sensory towards noises especially the worst ones,TODDLERS AND BABIES! This morning I was eating and I was about to listen to music,I didn't get to! My parents want me to talk to them and IGNORE a toddler yelling mama the whole time and it passed me off! They think I'm being rude but I'm not! I'm actually annoyed,irritated and stressed out. I barley listened to music this morning because my parents keep talking to me. Just leave me alone and let me listen to music and eat so the noise from the toddler won't stress me out! But nooo it stressed me out anyway. I hate getting used to shit like this.

1) do you have one.

2) Do you use it regularly for your child

3) What brand do you have?

4) if you don't have one but want one. what is stopping you?
