Introducing the Mochipan Sensory Comfort Rating Scale
Introducing the Mochipan Sensory Comfort Rating Scale
At Mochipan, we’re dedicated to making clothing that doesn’t just look beautiful but feels beautiful too. If you’re someone who’s particular about textures and how fabrics feel on your skin, we created something just for you: our Sensory Comfort Rating Scale! This new feature, based on extensive customer feedback and my own experiences as a designer with sensory sensitivities, will help you get a better idea of how our pieces might feel before they even arrive at your doorstep.
What is the Sensory Comfort Rating Scale?
Our Sensory Comfort Rating Scale is a quick visual guide that appears in the product descriptions on our website. It ranges from “uncomfortable” to “comfortable,” aiming to give you insight into how each piece feels when worn. This rating is based on several key factors:
- Skin Feel: How does the fabric feel against your skin? Is it soft and smooth or more textured?
- Softness to the Touch: When you run your hand over it, does it feel plush or coarse?
- Scratchiness or Itchiness: Some fabrics, while beautiful, can feel itchy or scratchy, especially for those with sensitive skin. Our rating considers this aspect.
- Overall Comfort Level: This is the overall sense of comfort, taking all other factors into account. We give you a comprehensive overview that reflects the garment's sensory experience.
Each piece is rated based on my experience as the primary designer and input from customers who share similar concerns. We understand that sensory comfort isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” concept—what feels good to one person might not be ideal for another. However, we hope this rating can give you a useful preview of the sensory experience that each piece brings.
Why Sensory Comfort Matters to Us
As a brand, we focus on creating clothing that’s accessible and enjoyable for everyone, including those with sensory sensitivities. I know firsthand how uncomfortable clothing can impact not only your body but also your mood and confidence. By using the Sensory Comfort Rating Scale, we aim to help you make more informed decisions about what’s best for your unique needs.
How to Use the Scale
When browsing our website, you’ll find the Sensory Comfort Rating Scale in each product description, displayed as an easy-to-read image. This way, you can quickly gauge the sensory comfort level of any item you’re interested in. Whether you prefer ultra-soft materials or don’t mind a little texture, our scale is here to support you.
A Tool for Choosing Mindfully
At Mochipan, we want your shopping experience to be as thoughtful and empowering as possible. Our Sensory Comfort Rating Scale is one step toward making that happen by prioritizing how clothing feels, not just how it looks. We’re excited to bring you this feature and hope it enhances your experience with our pieces.
Your comfort is our priority—after all, feeling good is just as important as looking good. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards more sensory-conscious fashion!
