PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This product comes in a variety of styles - a multicoloured snake, a blue dog, a spotted cat.
This lap pad is for people who need extra physical input in their major muscles, like leg muscles, in order to help with regulation, focus and feel settled, and want something that is also kinda cute.
Encourages a repetitive stroking behaviour which can be relaxing and self-regulating.
Easily removable, washable cover.
No worry about filling leaking out of the insert - made with two layers of separately stitched fabric.
Channels keep the weights evenly spread.
Cover is lined to keep its shape, and spills are less likely to be absorbed into the insert.
Use on other parts of the body, especially when lying down to help with regulation.
Cool in a freezer for morning use to awaken a slow responder.
As part of the natural sleep cycle, our temperature drops slightly. Using a cooled flat friend to gently cool the body prior to bed can aid some people to fall asleep faster.
Caution: the wrong amount of weight can be irritating.
Insert Material to Provide Weight: Poly pellets, glass bead or steel shot, depending on the weight.
