Alright, mums, can we talk about that issue? You know, the one that keeps you up at night, leaves you Googling “Why is my child smearing poo?” (and let’s be honest, feeling completely mortified at your search history)? If you're the parent of a child with autism or sensory processing issues, you've probably already experienced the joy (or shall I say absolute nightmare) of dealing with fecal smearing.
It’s gross, it's frustrating, and it’s more common than any of us would like to admit. I’ve been there, and let me tell you, I’ve had enough of being let down by "solutions" that make you feel like you're asking for a miracle. Well, what if I told you there's finally a product that could actually help? That’s right, Sensory Smart® PJs are here to save your sanity.
Fecal Smearing – The ‘Fun’ Thing No One Talks About
Let’s be real, no one wants to talk about fecal smearing, but it’s something many of us have faced with kids who have sensory issues. It’s not just a behavioural issue, it’s a health and hygiene problem. For those of us who are knee-deep in trying to manage sensory sensitivities, the struggle is real. The constant battle between wanting to respect your child’s sensory needs and making sure they don’t turn the bedroom into a war zone is exhausting.
But, here's the kicker—when you can’t keep them in their pyjamas because they rip them off halfway through the night, smearing is often the consequence. The act of removing nightwear is triggered by discomfort, anxiety, or overstimulation, leaving your child vulnerable to smearing. The worst part? Finding a solution feels like you’re asking for the moon. Every time you try to explain the problem to another "expert," you get the same tired responses and “Have you tried stickers on the door?” (No, mate. Stickers don’t work.)
The Health Risks You Don’t Want to Talk About
Aside from the utter disgust of cleaning up after a smearing incident, there are some very real health concerns. Fecal smearing can lead to skin infections, rashes, and irritation. If a child is repeatedly exposed to bacteria in stool, the risk of urinary tract infections and other infections increases. And let’s not even get started on the stress and anxiety it creates for both you and your child. The last thing you want is for them to feel uncomfortable or ashamed, which, unfortunately, can be the emotional side-effect of this.
So what do we do? Keep trying to "train" them not to? Keep hoping that the next miracle product will be the one that actually works? Yeah, because that’s going so well so far, right?
Enter the Sensory Smart® PJs – Finally, A Solution!
Well, after a bit of trial and error (I mean, it took me years to figure this out), I finally created something that actually works—Sensory Smart® PJs. Here’s how these game-changers solve the problem:
These all-in-one nightwear sets are designed to stay on—yes, I said STAY ON. That means no more midnight strip shows where your child decides that, nope, the PJs have to go. The secret? A secure back zip that’s child-proof, but not adult-proof (because seriously, mum, we’ve got things to do). Made from 96% bamboo cotton and 4% sustainable elastane, these PJs are soft, breathable, and comfortable. Plus, they're durable enough to handle whatever your little one can throw at them—figuratively and literally.
Say Goodbye to Boring Designs
Now, let’s talk about the designs. If I have to look at one more pair of plain, uninspiring PJs that scream “I don’t get your child’s needs,” I might just lose it. The Sensory Smart® PJs come in fun, inclusive prints like tractors, trains, space, and Highland cows (because who doesn’t love a good cow print, eh?). The designs are for kids, not for "therapy time," which means no one will be pointing at them in the playground saying, “What’s that, a sensory-friendly outfit?” because they look like actual clothes that kids want to wear.
Finally, no more explaining to your child that it’s “just the way it is” because we all know that line doesn’t work. Your child can wear these PJs proudly, and you can finally stop worrying about the nightmare that follows every bedtime.
The Relief That Comes With Knowing There’s A Solution
So, what’s the takeaway here? If you’re tired of being told there’s no solution or you’re fed up with products that don’t work, then you’re not alone. Sensory Smart® PJs are the solution that actually tackles the issue head-on. They keep your child comfortable, prevent smearing, and—wait for it—are actually cute, so you don’t have to compromise on style or functionality.
And here’s the best bit: You can stop feeling like you’re fighting this battle alone. The Sensory Smart® PJs are created by a mum who gets it. I’ve been there, and I’ve tested these PJs (with my own daughter, who has ADHD and sensory issues), so I know they work. The relief you’ll feel when your child stays in their PJs all night without a single issue? Well, let’s just say it’s worth every penny.
So, if you’ve had enough of being let down by the “solutions” out there, give these a go. You deserve it. Your child deserves it. And let’s face it, your sanity deserves it too.
