Our anti-anxiety hoodie has been specially designed to help people experiencing common anxious symptoms, like nervousness, restlessness, or increased heart rate.
Combining the benefits of sensory tools used in occupational therapy with relaxation techniques recommended by psychologists, this functional, therapeutic, and stylish hoodie is packed with anxiety-calming features.
From fidget zips, to textured sleeves, and block print breathing loops, this sensory hoodie provides a range of therapeutic benefits in a wearable style. So whether you’re working from home or the office, you can become more mindful of anxious symptoms and how to manage them effectively.
The Anti-Anxiety Hoodie features include:
• Weighted garment: The hoodie is a heavy weight garment with 350gsm (a standard hoodie weighs between 279-310 gsm). The pressure of weighted garments can help reducing common symptoms of anxiety, like increased heart rate and rapid breathing
• Fidget zip: Fidget toys can have a calming effect on people suffering with anxiety or sensory issues. Keeping their hands busy can help redirect anxious behaviours and stay focused. The fidget zip is also chewable. Research into chewing gum revealed the action of chewing relieved perceptions of stress in stressed and non-stressed individuals.
• Tactile bubble textured sleeves: Research into the sensory benefits of textiles for emotional wellbeing discovered touching different textures can be a tool for relieving anxiety.
• Block print breathing loop patch: Using breathing loops to practice slow and deep breathing has been proven to help decrease your heart rate and overall blood pressure. The block print loop patch provides an additional sensory tool for anchoring your concentration.
• Motivational quote: Motivational quotes can help put fears into perspective, take control of overthinking, and promote balanced thinking, alleviating anxious thoughts or worries. According to Jonathan Fader PhD, some quotes can have a powerful effect on individuals and help them to change their viewpoint.
• Calming colours: The colours of the hoodie have been specifically chosen in natural and organic tones to aid visual meditation and promote feelings of positive wellbeing.
• Eco-Friendly design: Made with organic cotton, ethically sourced materials, and biodegradable dyes, the eco-friendly design promotes a positive thought-process and feel-good vibes. The chewable fidget is made from 100% food grade silica gel. It is tasteless, non-toxic, safe and hygienic.
