This company sells a squeeze vest (you blow it up) - http://www.squeasewear.com/ - has anyone used one of these?

I'm wondering if wearing one of these in highly complex social situations will prevent my meltdowns/lock ups/systems crashes in those situations.

Thanks for any thoughts.

€295, damn how many people can afford this. I have wanted to try a weighted blanket but the prices are equally ridiculous.

I wonder if a clever person could simply modify the "thunder shirt" they make for dogs and achieve a similar result at a lower price.

good idea - I'll email them

I tried the vest but it does not 'do it' for me. But I am very pleased to have tried it.

My girlfriend had this thing that was supposed to be for firming your abbs, basically stretchy velcro belt that is 14 inch wide. I have found this to be very soothing when i feel the need to be squooshed ( not sure if at makes sence to anyone else) .
Prob cost $20 or less
