Lotgenootje Dog
For Mom
Since last week, I have a companion: the dog! And I'm so happy with it. I used to sleep very restlessly and wake up several times a night. But since I have my companion, I sleep so much more peacefully. And I think my companion definitely contributes to this. When I'm home, I always have him with me because it gives me peace of mind anyway. I should have bought this cuddly toy much sooner! But I'm glad I have it now😁🥰. Marien, thank you for releasing these cuddly toys🩷. I think you've made a lot of people and children happy!

Lotgenootje Bear
For Son
I didn't think teenagers would still appreciate a hug. But he gets overstimulated easily, and the hug calms him down! It is also beautifully packaged and taking it out of the box myself was a special moment. Lotgenootje and son are already best friends ;)

Lotgenootje Bear
For Her
I’ve had my bear ‘Bobo’ (my boyfriend named him 😂) for a few weeks now and I’m absolutely in love. He's already helped me tremendously. It's truly wonderful to come home after a busy day at work and just sit on the couch with Bobo for a while. This was something I'd been looking for for a while, and I'm more than happy with my companion. It's something to really look forward to at the end of the day. Hopefully we will soon welcome the dog or perhaps the new companion 🤎

OWNER

About Lotgenootje

Marien Jansen (25) has a five-year background in healthcare. As a social worker, he encountered the concept of deep pressure stimulation using weighted products, which many are familiar with through a weighted blanket. In his role, Marien personally experienced the positive effects with clients and residents, but felt he missed a unique and original product beyond the blankets. After a period of research and discussions with specialists about deep pressure stimulation, Marien came up with the idea of ​​applying it to stuffed animals.
