Some of my earliest memories invole my SPD. But 45 years ago, it was almost unheard of. I always knew I was different and one of my struggles is with clothing. My body does not respond well to most fabrics, clothing seams, or any compression. This causes a large amount of stress and anxiety for me. To be comfortable; I’ve worn my clothing inside out most of my life but only in the privacy of my own home. Having these clothing restrictions means there are very few things I can wear. I didn’t know that there was specialty clothing for SPD, or that SPD even existed! I later found out that 1 in 20 people have a form of SPD. I also discovered that specialty clothing was usually pricey and most options had a form of compression.

I was always uncomfortable everywhere I went, including family gatherings. So a few years ago I decided to stop suffering. I went to an event with my clothes on inside out. Finally, I was comfortable! But unfortunately, I was mentally uncomfortable. I felt like “an elephant in the room”. My ah-ha moment came later when I was getting ready to take my children to an event. ‘Make my inside out clothing look like it’s supposed to be that way.’

After reading about so many others who are like me and their daily challenges I decided to start this company. It’s my mission to spread awareness, understanding, and acceptance of SPD. I hope to help people understand what it’s like to live with SPD. Many who have SPD or a loved one with SPD aren’t aware of what it is and have no information about it. (I wish I would have known earlier in life.) I also hope to help those that are on a budget where specialty clothing isn’t an option. Even if you’re not on a budget, so much money and time is wasted on clothing that doesn’t work. Who would have thought…that for many, it’s as easy as turning the clothing inside out before wearing it. The fabric on the outside is usually smoother and softer and doesn’t change much over time. And now there’s no seams rubbing anywhere on your skin! My hope is that everyone can be comfortable in affordable and style accepted clothing. A portion of the profits are donated to help further awareness, understanding, and acceptance of Sensory Processing Disorder.
