How the Weighted Lap Pad Works
The Two-Coloured Cotton Weighted Lap Pad (or lap blanket) helps to relieve anxiety and stress. It works by the weight of the beads inside pressing down gently on your body. This calming pressure is called Deep Pressure Touch. (Deep Pressure Touch is also sometimes called Proprioceptive Input.)
Deep Pressure Touch or Proprioceptive Input is a firm but gentle consistent pressure. It triggers two responses in the body that bring feelings of reduced anxiety.
- It firstly shuts off the body’s “fight or flight” instinct that is governed by the sympathetic nervous system.
- It then activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This causes both the breathing rate and heart rate to slow and the muscles relax.
The end result is that you feel more relaxed and less anxious.
How to Use It:
It’s simple and easy to use the Two-Coloured Cotton Weighted Lap Pad.
Just put it on your lap while you sit and continue with your tasks.
You can use it while sitting on a chair, the floor, a bed, a couch or even in the car.
Use it for as long as you need it – there is no minimum requirement or maximum limit.
You can machine-wash the weighted lap pad on cold, gentle cycle. This is a quick and convenient way to deal with life’s accidents and messes.
Leave to dry flat.
