Sensory-friendly clothing (DD10)

Hello, I would be grateful for any recommendations of sensory-friendly clothing suppliers I can try?

DD10 is on the ASD ADHD pathway - she is really struggling at the moment in all areas but one of the biggest challenges is getting dressed (both for sensory reasons and demand avoidance).

She will only wear soft, tight fitting “stretchy” t shirts and leggings/cycling shorts (think they are elastane or stretchy jersey rather than cotton). We managed to find some in ASDA a while ago and are now down to the last 2 t-shirts and pairs of shorts she’ll wear (we have to wash these for night and day as she isn’t comfortable in anything else so it’s a bit of a challenge!)

Not seeing anything like this on the high street now -
does anyone have any suggestions of online sensory clothes suppliers? Thank you.

You could look at sensory smart.

Would sports t-shirts and shorts from somewhere like Decathlon or Sports Direct maybe work? You can often get ones that are synthetic rather than cotton. Under Armour's fabric used to be really soft and stretchy, so that might be an option?

Thank you, that could work. I’ll definitely take a look. Yes, it’s basically synthetic, stretchy microfibre that she can manage so a base layer or something like that is a good shout!
