    Default Comfortable clothing for sensory-sensitive kids?

    Didn't get responses in Kidwear so posting here - we need clothing options!

    DC is all of a sudden refusing to wear our multitude of HA and Peek clothes. Doesn't like tags, seams, or anything tight or binding. Any suggestions? Right now all DC wants to wear are the HA pajamas.

    we do athletic shorts and dry fit T's many are tagless. SO glad we moved to a new school with no uniforms the collars last year drove us ALL bonkers.

    I would try cutting the tags out. I don't have a sensitive kid, but Target brands and Carter's are usually tag free. If you r DC is a girl offer up a lot of dresses, my girls loved the twirl dresses and the playdresses (and Dd2 still does) because the playdresses are really soft.

    We cut out tags. Even HA and Boden, though it pains me to do so. Without the tags, my kids are fine

    LE are good too - they tend to be a thinner (and therefore softer) cotton and are all loosely cut.

    When we first starting dealing with SPD, I went to Target and bought just about one of every pair of athletic shorts and tees that I thought would meet DS's standards. I brought them home, and made him try them all on one at a time. I had to supervise, to make sure that he didn't rip off any of the store tags. Once we found one or two styles of shorts and tees that he could tolerate, I returned the rest and bought every color they had in the chosen styles. Target has a large selection of tagless tees now, which is super helpful. Once we found a couple styles that work for us, buy new ones each season was easy.

    THanks, they don't have kids clothing though.
