Slept with one on and I had to get up to pee like a zillion times. Took it off part way through the night and then didn’t need to go again. What the fuck

I thought weighted blankets were supposed to help with anxiety, all it did for me is make me more anxious because I can’t move. Even though I like the weighted vest thing at the dentist

The lead vest at the dentist would be a lot more comforting if they didn’t put it on me and then stick a sharp thing in my mouth and then point a ceiling mounted x ray cannon at my brain and then leave the room to fire it

I love mine! My only problem is my bad ankle. I had a really bad sprain years ago and it’s never been the same since. I have to pull the blanket up above my foot or the ankle gets sore from it pressing down on my foot. I’ve thought about trying to rig something to keep the pressure just off my left foot so I didn’t have to have it sticking out from under the blanket, but I tend to move around when I’m sleeping, so I haven’t been able to think of anything that would work.

I love them. I’ve got a 15lb one and my dog has an 8lb one. Helps a lot with his anxiety and keeps me from repositioning so much during the night.

They feel like a small person was unhappy with me but then fell asleep halfway to choking me out
