TL; DR in bold

Sensato Kits are neurodivergence and disability-friendly pouches full of tools for fighting sensory overload. Designed to help make the world more sensible, our kits contain 10 different elements suitable for a wide variety of needs and preferences. Where most sensory kits are designed for children, Sensatos were created for humans of all ages (thought the youngest ones will need help from a caregiver).

Each tool in the kit is carefully selected and quality tested to maximize their helpful impact without causing disruption. You’ll find our curated items easy to use, and beneficial for turning down the volume, adjusting the brightness, and otherwise fine-tuning your experience of the world.

Sensato Kits are designed with neurodivergent and sensory responsive needs in mind. We took spectrum diagnoses (ASD and ADHD) and the usual associated needs into primary consideration when creating our product. But neurotypical and allistic customers and communities members rave over their enjoyment as well.

Each Sensato Kit comes with the following intentionally curated, sensory-soothing products, which are vegan/vegetarian-friendly wherever possible.

• mesh bag with carabiner clip
• unscented/unflavored lip balm
• unscented lotion
• unscented hand sanitizer
• unflavored dental sticks
• clear pill pouch for emergency meds
• reusable ear plugs in clear case
• “just in case” kit in clear case with bobby pins, safety pins, elastics and hair ties for hair and clothing adjustments
• sunglasses in a microfiber pouch that double as a lens cleaning cloth
• fidget in sensory profile of your choice

Sensatos are for anyone who would have an easier or more enjoyable time in the world with a few accomodations. While there are many sensory kits available designed especially for kids, there has yet to be one made for people of all ages – until now. Whether for teens and adults, or for kids (with parental supervision), Sensatos are packed with products to meet a variety of common sensory needs.

Sensatos kits are specially-curated to address the most common sensory conundrums of the neurodivergent/sensitive community. Not just the selection, but specifically the rounding up and easy packaging of our kits provide a multitude of reliefs.

A recurring theme in our research over what would most help the community was that those with highly-sensitive sensory recognition usually know what would help, they just don’t have the time, energy, or “spoons,” to get the accommodating tools and products in an effective manner.We understand the decision fatigue that comes from selecting the “right” products, as well as the everything-fatigue that comes from finding and purchasing them. And forgetting to pack them, or forgetting that you have them? Oh yeah, we’ve been there!That’s why we spent hundreds of hours over the past two years researching, sourcing, product-testing, and creating the most ethically-made, sensory-aware, high-quality and affordable products so that you wouldn’t have to. We considered difficulties with mobility, dexterity, object-permanence, sensitivity to fragrance and sound, and awareness of our planet and our animal friends to create the best product on the market, and we look forward to continuing to develop even more options as we grow.

We also price our products in whole dollar amounts with taxes and shipping costs included to ensure your experience with us is the lowest-stress, most straight-forward process it can be.So who is a Sensato Kit really for? Anyone who would be helped by having one!

• Mesh Bag with Carabiner – our mesh zipper pouches have long, looped zipper tabs to help those with limited hand dexterity easily access the products inside. The mesh fabric keeps your privacy while stimulating the brain to recall that you’ve got a goody-bag of helpful items at the ready, should you ever experience discomfort and need a jump start on problem solving.
  
  The kits are designed to easily clip into/onto other bags (backpacks, purses, satchels, luggage, or diaper bags) with our colorful, low-maintenance carabiners, which can be removed by owner preference but are included to help with easy transfer. Some of the Sensatos community likes to keep one kit and transfer it between bags. Others, especially those who change bags often, like having a kit attached to each one so they don’t have to remember to change it out.
  
  Finally, our kits are small enough to be easily and discretely carried without any other accoutrement, either like a small pencil pouch/clutch or attached to a belt loop. 
  
• Unscented/Unflavored Lip Bop – Are you one of those people who have a lip balm in every location? We get it. Dry, aggravated lips are a huge distraction and can interfere with speech and eating – two pretty common, important experiences.
  
  That’s why we chose the Soothing Touch balm, which is a vegan, unscented and fragrance free, and unflavored product.  To accommodate skin sensitivities and preferences, we made sure to get a balm that avoids greasy residue while leaving lips moisturized.
  
• Unscented Lotion – Your biggest organ, with the most neural receptors, is your skin. And dry, distressed skin can be frustrating at best/ completely overwhelming at worst. Literally everything is better when you’re not distracted by angry, painful, or sensitive skin. With the same care for fresh feel and fragrance-free, we’ve selected lotions that hydrate without leaving residue, and are made with care for vegan and vegetarian preferences.
  
• Hand Sanitizer – Sensory receptive folks are particularly prone to germ concern, but the frequent use of hand sanitizer can sometimes just exchange the problem of germy hands for the problem of stressed hands. That’s why we searched for a product that moisturized as it sanitized. This iteration does technically have a fragrance, but when our team tested it, we found the smell negligible on immediate use and completely gone once the product dries. We went a little hog making sure this was the right sanitizer to go with, and found that it never left us feeling dry or cracked, just delighted and clean.
  
• Unflavored Dental Sticks – Minty fresh can be great- but it can also leave the mind frazzled. What’s a person to do when they are sensitive to leftovers left over in the teeth, and don’t like the traditional mint flavor of most flosses? You’d be surprised how hard they are to find, but we include a few scent free, flavor free, individually wrapped flossers in each kit.
  
• Pill Pouch – After spending an embarrassing amount of time over-engineering potential solutions to the problem of carrying around medicine in a small enough container to make sense in the kit, we found a solution pre-made.
  
  This durable, clear pouch can be used with the zipper, or become fully sealed with the plastic zip mechanism removed, leaving the pouch to be opened and closed as a sandwich bag would be. Our just-in-case tendencies meant we tested with water,  gels from gel-caps, and powder from pesky vitamins that came uncapped and nothing escaped our pill pouches when fully sealed.
  
  Keeping in mind pharmacist storage recommendations, we found it helpful for customers and community members to keep at least one dose of each medicine you take. We’ve also included an insert to write a description of each medicine along with dosage and other instructions.  Always follow your Drs instructions first, and keep a spare does in your Sensato Kit for emergencies as a close second.
  
  
• Reusable Ear Plugs– Our moldable, washable, reusable foam earplugs are great for on-the-go noise control. We pack them in a clear plastic container that can be opened without fingernails or digit dexterity. Just push on the bottom of the case at the closure, and the top will pop up. Get a little grossness on the plugs? Happens to us all. Don’t worry, foam earplugs are easy to clean. Wipe down with skin-safe soap and warm water, pat dry, and store for the next use.
  
• “Just In Case”Kits – come with bobby pins, safety pins, elastics and hair ties for hair and clothing adjustments on the fly. We pack them in a clear plastic container that can be opened without fingernails or digit dexterity. Just push on the bottom of the case at the closure, and the top will pop up.  All times are individually quality tested before packing – because while there are things worse than immediately breaking something you thought was going to help, we have a hard time thinking of many.  Don’t have hair that requires pins or ties? Trust us, these are still handy. There is no end to the usefulness of a bobby pin or hair tie. Seriously, if you think you won’t use them, google “what can i do with a bobby pin” and you’ll change your mind.
  
• Sunglasses in a Microfiber Pouch –  For some, they help with a sensory preference. For others, they are a medical device to avoid migraines and overwhelm. And of course we know and respect the occasions when you need the to go incognito and avoid small talk. Our durable, dark, mid-sized glasses are comfortable on small faces, but have enough room and give in the arms to adjust to the gigantic gourds as well. They’re unassuming enough to slip on top of your rx glasses in a pinch, and come in a pouch that doubles as a lens cleaning cloth.
  
• Fidget in Sensory Profile of your Choice – Fidgets came en vogue in the last decade, but vintage adhers know we’ve made fidgets out of everything all the time. Sometimes though, it is nice to have a special toy for the task. With options for soft, medium and rigid resistance, each Sensato Kit comes with a standard fidget that fits easily into the kit and your hand. In fact, all three can fit in the kit, but we find that to be cumbersome for those who don’t specifically want the full menu available at all times, so we have you choose the one you want, and add the others as you prefer. Our fidgets are washable, durable, and come in a variety of colors. Fidget frenzied? Check out our premium options for more fidgets that don’t fit in the kit, but might still be a perfect gift.
