Understanding the Need

​

Sensory-friendly clothing is designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with sensory processing challenges. For those who experience sensory processing disorder (SPD) or other spectrum conditions, traditional clothing can be uncomfortable and distressing. These individuals may be hypersensitive to textures, seams, and tags, which can lead to discomfort and distraction. At Divergent Clothing Co., we recognize the importance of creating clothing that provides comfort and supports the well-being of neurodiverse individuals.

   • Supima Cotton: Known for its softness and durability, Supima cotton offers a gentle feel against the skin, reducing irritation.

   • Organic Cotton: Free from harsh chemicals, organic cotton is ideal for sensitive skin, providing a soothing and breathable fabric.

2. Discreet Self-Soothing

   • Snap-On Fidget Ribbons: Our adaptive fidget ribbons can be discreetly attached to the lower portion of our shirts and hoodies. These ribbons allow wearers to engage in self-soothing activities without drawing attention, helping them manage anxiety and stay focused.

3. Versatility

Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

​

SPD is a condition where the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. This can result in hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli, making everyday activities challenging. Individuals with SPD may struggle with clothing that has rough textures, tight seams, or irritating tags.

​

Our sensory-friendly clothing is specifically designed to address these challenges:

• Soft Fabrics: The use of Supima and organic cotton ensures a gentle touch, minimizing discomfort.

• Tagless Designs: We eliminate tags and use flat seams to reduce irritation and friction.

​

Spectrum Conditions and Benefits

​

Individuals with various spectrum conditions, such as autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders, can significantly benefit from sensory-friendly clothing:

• Autism: Many individuals with autism experience heightened sensory sensitivities. Our clothing provides the softness and adaptability they need to feel comfortable throughout the day.

• ADHD: Sensory-friendly clothing helps individuals with ADHD focus better by minimizing distractions caused by uncomfortable clothing.

• Anxiety Disorders: For those with anxiety, our adaptive fidget ribbons offer a discreet way to manage stress and maintain composure in different settings.
