How it works
SNUGG has a small loop that allows users to attach personal items, like fidgets or chews.
The cover combines two carefully chosen fabrics:
- dimpled fleece for a warm tactile feedback
- smooth Lycra for a cool and sleek soothe and Poly Plastic beans
It has a reversible cover that allows the user to decide what tactile feeling they may desire.
A secure Velcro fastening allows the cover to be removed, washed, changed and replaced.
