How do our weighted products work?
Similar to a big, comforting hug, the weighted pressure (aka Deep Touch Pressure) in our products brings on a relaxation response from your parasympathetic nervous system — and tamps down a fight-or-flight response from your sympathetic nervous system. When one of our weighted self-care products is placed on your lap, chest, or tummy, your body begins to lower production of the stress hormone cortisol and increases production of the “calming” neurotransmitters, including oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine, helping you feel comforted, relaxed, grounded, and secure.
Deep Touch Pressure has also been shown to help with sleep, as well as focus & concentration, making our products excellent bedtime companions and study/work buddies!
Enjoy the calming hugs!
FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION: Weighted pressure can help with focus, making Hugimals great study or work buddies when placed on a lap (like a weighted lap pad but way more adorable!).
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TOOL: Hugimals’ neutral expressions are specifically designed to allow you to feel any emotion in a judgment-free zone (no forced smiles here.)
SENSORY BENEFITS: Hugimals’ extra-soft fabric provides a soothing tactile sensory experience, and their calming colors are inspired by the natural colors of river stones.
SELF-CARE FOR ALL: Unanimously positive reviews from our children's hospital pilot program show that Hugimals are "a fantastic source of both comfort and sensory support" for children. Our Gen Z and Millennial fans use Hugimals for self-care, stress relief and to help with sleep. They make great gifts!
REMOVABLE WEIGHT: Your Hugimal is weighted with the same non-toxic glass beading used in many weighted blankets, sewn into secure sections within a removable weighted inner body for added safety.
WASHABLE! (AND WE DON’T MEAN SPOT-CLEAN ONLY): The weighted inner body is fully removable, allowing for easy washing of outer plush. We recommend washing the outer plush in a cold, gentle cycle. Best to wash in a laundry bag. Then hang dry.
BLISSFUL, FULL-BODY HUGS: With their weight distributed throughout their head, body and limbs, you feel the soothing sensation of your Hugimal “hugging” you back.
