Kim – 29 years old

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!

She is visibly much calmer. The vest works wonderfully!
The cardigan is fantastic!
Our daughter suffers greatly from overstimulation and anxiety. Whereas she used to need two days to calm down, since using the vest she only needs a few hours. When our daughter is very overstimulated, she can no longer function properly. For example, eating independently at the end of the day seemed impossible despite a lot of practice. Since we started putting the vest on her during dinner, she can eat by herself and is visibly much calmer. We also regularly use the vest preventively in situations that we know will be difficult for her. After using the vest, she can clearly cope with these situations much better!
Highly recommended! It’s great that you can borrow the vest first, and the service is excellent, with good communication about how the vest works.

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!”
