A plan beats willpower
Sensory overload rarely announces itself politely — by the time you notice, you’re already past the point where “just push through” works. What helps is having tools staged in advance: in the bag, at the desk, by the door.
The pieces in this collection are the calming end of our range: deep-pressure squishies, smooth tactile fidgets and quiet sensory tools that give an overwhelmed nervous system one simple, manageable input to focus on.
What goes in an overload kit
A good pocket kit covers touch (something to squeeze or rub), sound (earplugs or headphones you already own), and exit strategy (knowing where the quiet is). The touch part is what we stock — one squeezable piece and one smooth fidget covers most situations.
Our free starter kit includes a printable sensory first-aid list you can keep in your bag or stick inside a cupboard door, and the full guide below walks through building a kit around your specific triggers.
Everything here is an everyday tool, not a treatment — many people find these products helpful, but they’re not a substitute for professional support.

Common questions
What helps with sensory overload?
Reducing input (quiet, dim, fewer people) plus one steady, controllable sensation — firm pressure, smooth texture, slow breathing. The tools here cover the controllable-sensation part; many people find that combination brings them down faster than toughing it out.
What should I keep in my bag?
Small and reliable beats clever: one squishy or pressure piece, one silent fidget, earplugs. Cheap enough to duplicate across every bag and coat you use.
Is sensory overload an ADHD thing or an autism thing?
Both, and neither exclusively — overstimulation affects many people, diagnosed or not. The tools don’t check credentials; if loud open-plan offices wreck you, they’re for you.
Are these a replacement for professional support?
No — they’re everyday tools, not treatment. If overload is seriously affecting your life, a GP or occupational therapist is the right next step; these just make the day-to-day more manageable.
