Works great for my little one
My son is almost 3, autism level 2 and sensory processing disorder. He is 34 lbs and 40 inches tall, I ordered a small and it fits great. We were lucky enough to have an OT that tried on what she had so we knew what fit. He responded to this better than a weighted vest.It is SUPPOSED to be tight on them though. You just have to figure out what level of tightness they need. Sensory defensive kids probably wouldn't enjoy this as much as my sensory seeker does.We only put it on when he's doing things for sensory seeking purposes and it helps him a ton. I went from having a child I couldn't calm down without a meltdown to a child that can actually focus on tasks and take the world in. It's a huge difference.

It hugs all day
Our daughter found this so supportive and said that it felt like she was hugged all day. She went from 4 outbursts at school to one in the first day. Here’s hoping that continues

Great alternative to a vest!
Was told by my toddlers ot to get a compression and/or weighted vest. I didn't think he needed the "weight". He is more of a "squeezes" kind of kid. He also doesn't like to wear clothes very often and I thought the bulk of a vest would make him not wear it. I found this and it is perfect for what I thought it would be! Think compression socks for diabetics or people with leg swelling/blood clots. Only in a tank top form. He LOVES it. Gives him "squeezes" just like he likes. It isn't too bulky and can be worn under his shirts. Was wondering during the summer in 90 degree weather and didn't make him hot or sweat so the material is breathable. Definitely measure your kiddo as the sizes start very small (thinking 1 year old?) And up. My small 2 year old fit the size I measured him for perfect. The neck fabric is a little bunchy, but probably to account for kiddos being shaped differently. It didn't bother him. His it is now recommending this product to kiddos in grade school that don't want to wear a vest in public. Do prepare for it being difficult to get on and off.... it's compression after all. But we encourage him that he'll get squeezes and he's gotten use to it! Great price for the quality and type of product. Beats buying a very expensive vest and running the risk of him not wearing it! More products like this need to be made.

Too Itchy and Scratchy For My Son
I ordered this for my son who has autism, ADHD, ODD, and tactile defensiveness. His sensory disorder has really increased at an alarming rate the past 2 years. It has become increasingly devastating to his education, his ability to pay attention, and his behavioral issues. I was so excited to try this shirt. At 15 my son is not willing to wear weighted compression vests or any other similar products that make him stand out as different even more than his autism. He even stopped using his weighted lap pad which really did help him. This I could put on him under his clothes.The product was described as being very soft. It is not. It felt a little scratchy to me. My son was a good sport and really tried to wear this. He had to have help removing it at school. He complained that it was just too itchy and scratchy. He really favors extremely soft materials. I washed it several times with a lot of fabric softener to try to make it more comfortable. It didn’t help. He hated wearing it; and, as a mother who has watched him struggle with so many things I simply could not force him to keep wearing it. When things like this are irritating they become more of a distraction that makes the situation it is designed to help much worse.I ordered this because of all of the great reviews. I’m sure it probably does help some children with sensory disorders; but, in our case it only made things worse. I felt it was important to leave this review for other parents to see that it does not work for every child. I didn’t want people to have the same experience that we did and feel like they were the only ones.Products designed to help children with sensory disorders are not cheap. There’s really no way to tell if it will work for your child until you try it. For us this was simply a waste of money for a family with only one income. I had to make the decision to become a stay at home mom in order to care for our son and get him to school, doctor appointments, and therapy sessions. I love being available to assist him with any needs that arise; but, it has definitely taken a toll on our family finances. I’m sure our family is not the only family affected in this way. So, if your family is like ours and your child is partial to extremely soft materials you may want to give this product a little extra consideration before buying. I would highly recommend only purchasing one at first to make sure your child will benefit from this product. With that said, I really do hope that this product will continue to be beneficial for as many kids as possible.

Runs small
Runs pretty small. Ordered the size needed based off measurements and it was still too small. Order a size up.

Wow!
This shirt got my gross motor delayed 24.5 month old to take his first steps! Within 2 minutes of putting it on, he took steps like it was nothing, after 15 months of PT. Highly recommend for any gross motor delayed kiddo who may need some sensory input for confidence.

Absolute best for sensory kids!
My 11 year old son has sensory processing disorder & he craves deep muscle input. When he was 3-5 years old we used this brand’s compression tank. I just bought an XL for him(he’s about 100 lbs) & as soon as he put it on he sighed in relief! The edges aren’t rough, no tags & fabric is soft all while giving great compression.
