I just learned some of us like weighted things on us like weighted blankets. I know some of us prefer tight hugs. But do any of you like jeans for the sensory reason because they are tight too and heavy?
They used to feel heavy on me so that's why I didn't like them when I was little and I also because they were tight too and I hated tight things on me but I liked stretch pants.

I am the complete opposite. I hate tight hugs, I hate firm touches because it feels painful and it feels like weight is being pressed on me and I don't like it.

Well, not sure if you're saying you like them or not...

I will say that when I was about 5, I loved sleeping with clothes...not pajamas, but pants/jeans, etc...and I've always like the cold, so it wasn't because it made me feel warmer...I think I did enjoy the preassure...now, I don't care...

I find most jeans to be comfortable as long as they are not too tight on my waist, though I prefer to wear sweatpants if I'm not going anywhere.

I like tight hugs, and i like my room cold so that i can pile every blanket on my bed and not die from being too hot, used to love it when my cat laid on me and i like it when my boyfriend lays on me... but i hate tight cloths. *shrugs*

I love jeans. I wear them so much I think my skin is starting to turn blue from them. Ha Ha. They feel fine. I just hate it when they are too long and too loose on me (often are since i'm so tiny). -Power Girl

I love jeans. Especially drainpipe jeans, which are a Sewer Rat's favourite. :O)

I wear short pants whenever possible. Even as cold as it is now (approaching 0 Fahrenheit at night in SE Michigan), wear shorts whenever I'm actually in the house, because I can't stand having my legs restricted.

Sometimes I do feel the need for weight from blankets or something when I'm trying to sleep, but it usually gets me warmer than I'd like. I used to counteract this by sleeping with my used towel when I was in grade school.

I always liked wearing Jeans. I still wear them today daily.

As long as I'm comfortable in a pair of Jeans, I'm fine. I'm not a fan for really tight jeans or even jeans that are extremely loose and baggy.

I used to love jeans, but now I find the fabric rough and I don't like if they are tight around the waist. I will wear them upon rare occasions, however.

I never really got why people say jeans are so comfortable, I always thought the fabric was rough too - maybe it's when it wears a bit it gets soft?? I don't know.

So no, never wear jeans.

I have NEVER liked jeans. As a kid, I refused to wear them. Thank goodness I get to choose my own clothing now. :roll:
They are itchy and restrictive, I hate that.
