I can only buy one type of underwear to prevent severe fidgeting and uncomfortability. Even with the ones I buy I still fidget a bit. I cannot wear tight clothes because pretty much any trousers/tshirt fabrics tight against my skin give me unbearable itching. I can't roll my socks up or wear tights for that reason.

When I get home I take huge joy in going into my bedroom, locking the door and taking all my clothes off and just standing there, feeling the bliss of not having fabric on my skin. At home I wear big tracksuits, baggy tshirts and no underwear. Underwear is the worst type of clothing for me but unfortunately I have to wear it. All my tshirts are 2-3 sizes larger than my real size.

Does anyone else get hypersensitivity with clothes?

Well, I'm not that sensitive, but I enjoy taking off my clothes when I get home, or staying clothless after shower. It's a kind of recuperation. Even when I'm among people, I try to make them accept as little clothing on me as I can manage.

Yes,, I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I have about 4 or 5 t shirts I am comfortable with that I wear under everything. I come home and usually put on sweatpants. Jeans are too rigid. What bothers me the most though is "itchy" shirts.

My son has this problem, I think. He's 4 and he's a little nudist. He takes off his clothes every chance he gets at home. He struggles and fights against being dressed.

Clothing has been an issue for me all my life and I never knew what was up, just that I was somehow like the Princess and the Pea. But, soon after my daughter was born, I realised that she too had similar sensitivity. When she was about 4 1/2, and after a mountain of reading, I realised she might have an ASD (not just because of the clothing issue) and she has recently been diagnosed with Aspergers. It all makes sense that my issues stem from the same source. Like my daughter, I have a wardrobe full of clothes that I never wear, some clothes I will only wear on days when I'm feeling less sensitive. I almost always remove tags and have to remove those little straps that are there to keep the clothes on hangers too, even though they are made of very soft/silky material. I only wear certain socks and underpants and I recently bought some expensive lingerie, which I can't wear for more than a few minutes - total waste of money. Today, I was really disturbed by a lumpy bit which appeared on my sweatshirt, once I'd put my coat on. I pulled and hauled at it, until it was just right, then I was able to relax and leave the house. How can someone get to this age and not know why they have these weird issues? But, that seems to be the story of my life. :roll:

Oh me! I spend as little time in restrictive clothes as possible :p as soon as I get home I rip everything off and put on my huge t-shirt and comfy mesh shorts. I even take all the bobypins and/or twist ties out if my hair. I dont nessesarily get itchy, but just being in tight restrictive clothes makes me feel like going on some kind of rampage.

I enjoy taking off my bra, but I'm sure many non-SPD women can relate to that one!

I need a new bra. The ones I've got so far make my breasts itch and I end up scratching my breasts (through my clothing) in public, which is apparently inappropriate, but the itching is too unbearable.

I don't like the feeling of clothing on my arms and legs. I like to wear summer clothes and pajamas.
