Due to my autism and anxiety disorder, I wanted to try the Squease pressure vest, because deep pressure gives me a very pleasant feeling when I am overstimulated or anxious. I first rented the vest to test it, and after I was convinced, I purchased it.
The vest helps me enormously when I need peace and support. When I wear it, it feels like I’m getting a big hug, which makes me feel safe and secure. I cannot achieve this deep, constant pressure with weighted blankets or stuffed animals. That’s why I’m so happy that I now have the cardigan at home, so I can use it whenever I need it!
The vest gives you a special feeling that is difficult to describe, but it is ABSOLUTELY A GREAT FEELING! Every time before I put it on, I find it hard to imagine that it will work, especially if I am not feeling well at that moment due to overstimulation or other tensions. But time and again, it surprises me: I feel calmer almost immediately, and after about twenty minutes, I feel a lot better. When I wear the vest during an activity, such as at the supermarket or other busy environments, I immediately notice that the most intense stimuli are dampened. THE SHARP EDGES ARE GONE, so to speak, which means I can either last longer or suffer less from the stimuli afterwards.
Hi, I’m Chris, 26 years old, and I’ve been diagnosed with autism. I’ve been using the pressure vest for about two months now, almost every day. I usually wear it before and after an activity, but sometimes also during an activity. At first, I really had to get used to it. As someone who can get extremely annoyed by a seam in my sock or a label in my shirt, I initially found wearing the vest a bit difficult. The vest is not very flexible, so movement (especially when it is inflated) is somewhat limited, not very much, but I had to get used to it. Fortunately, I got used to it pretty quickly, and now I can’t do without it.
“He feels safer and can process the stimuli a little better and faster.
“I really like the pressure vest!
We have a happy (grand)child who feels safer with the pressure vest and can process the stimuli a little better and faster. Delano likes wearing it, notices the difference well and he asks for it himself. The first time he had the pressure vest pumped up was a little bit of getting used to and quite a bit exciting. This is also in the clear manual that comes with the vest so that was already taken into account. At school, the teachers are also responding very positively. The first day Delano was at school with vest on, he played with another child in the construction corner for a while for the first time. In the months before, this had not been possible before because of the turmoil of all the stimuli.
Also handy to have a spare front end for when the front end needs a wash. It comes in fun colors and ships super fast!”
The cardigan was a good choice!
We use the pressure vest for our daughter who has autism. She really likes wearing the vest when she is feeling a little down. The vest is easy to adjust so that it fits perfectly and doesn’t slip. The pump is also easy to operate.
We are very happy that we can offer her some support with this pressure vest, which makes it easier for her to stay alert when necessary. A good choice!

The vest makes me feel safer.
“Because of my autism, I often feel very insecure, especially when doing things on my own, for example at work. Wearing the pressure vest has made me feel safer, so I can face these situations with less stress. It feels like I have a shield with me that I can use when I feel anxious or when there are a lot of changes happening around me.
I definitely recommend the vest!”
‘It was the first day in a very long time that he really felt comfortable‘
“Our little son was always very busy and restless, and found it very difficult to concentrate. We found out after a lot of research that he has SPD (sensory processing disorder), which makes him easily overexcited.
When he is “full,” nothing else comes in, and he tries to get rid of that overflowing feeling by moving around a lot, as well as by seeking a lot of hugs. Moreover, we were regularly unable to reach him at all. Fortunately, our wonderful pediatric physical therapist advised us to give it a try with a pressure vest (he was also allowed to try one at her practice a few times and really liked it).
When the pressure vest was delivered, we immediately put it on him. The effect was almost immediate: he became completely calm, and you could see him relax!It was the first day in a very long time that he really felt at ease, and that he didn’t know what to do with himself because of overstimulation.
We are now a month along and the improvement appears to be permanent. When necessary, he wears his vest for about 20 minutes, and the effect continues to be felt for hours afterwards. His ability to concentrate is much better, he has much more self-confidence, and he is especially pleased himself that he no longer has to move his restlessness away all the time (though he remains a wonderfully active little fellow). He really feels comfortable with the deep pressure of the vest and is much better able to avoid overstimulation and, if it does happen, process it.
This cardigan comes highly recommended!”
