Product information, sensory-tool insights, and the story behind Flutterby.
A weighted hoodie contains removable weighted bags in garment pockets. Its construction is a product feature; a calming or attention benefit is not guaranteed.
Discreet clothing can look like everyday apparel. Whether a child likes the fabric, fit, pockets and appearance is a personal preference, not proof of a therapeutic benefit.
There is no wear schedule on this page that is validated for every child. Ask a qualified professional familiar with the wearer before choosing the amount of weight or duration.
Nine Months. Endless Potential. Supported by the Bush Foundation, the goal of the Finnovation Fellowship is to inspire, equip, and connect social business leaders in MN through an immersive 9-month program.
Dress-up play can be a personal and creative choice. Flutterby does not promise that a costume develops confidence or treats a sensory condition.

Plan around the person’s preferences and the demands of the event. Clothing or a weighted product cannot guarantee relief from overstimulation.
Charlie and Asha are 3.3 lb weighted stuffed animals with companion story coloring books. They are not microwavable.
A schedule should be an individual decision rather than a routine copied from another wearer. This article does not prescribe a weight, number of minutes or frequency.
Restlessness, difficulty concentrating or discomfort with clothing does not by itself mean a child needs weighted products. A qualified professional can help assess the concern and discuss suitable options.
