Why Lotgenootje really gives peace of mind
For children and adults who have trouble relaxing, "Lotgenootje" provides deep pressure stimulation: gentle, even pressure that activates your body's rest and recovery system. This promotes relaxation, a sense of security, and helps you sleep more easily (and deeply). It's used in sensory therapies for ADHD, ASD, and anxiety, as well as during the day to help with stress or stimuli.
What it does:
Lowers stress levels (less cortisol)
Stimulates relaxation (more serotonin and melatonin)
Provides a feeling of security , without medication or therapy
Suitable for children and adults

Lotgenootje Pop-Up Store: It was a huge success!
From May 19 to 30, 2026, we could be found at Utrecht Central Station, right between platforms 19 and 20. For ten days, visitors were able to get to know Lotgenootje and experience, feel, and discover firsthand what a Lotgenootje can mean for them and their loved ones.
The responses touched us deeply. People paused, shared their stories, and took a Lotgenootje home with them. It was more than just a pop-up store; it was a place of recognition and connection. Thank you to everyone who dropped by and made this experience so incredibly special!

Frequently Asked Questions

That is why we are grateful to be able to contribute to the Ronald McDonald House Netherlands. With a donation of our Lotgenootjes (little companions/peers), we hope to give both children and parents a small moment of peace, comfort, and closeness.
No grand gestures, just something soft to hold onto, precisely when it is needed most.
