University life can be a whirlwind of lectures, assignments, social commitments, and exams. For many students, this fast-paced environment can lead to stress, overwhelm, and difficulty staying focused. Sensory equipment provides a practical and effective way for students to manage stress, regulate emotions, and enhance their academic performance. At My Sensory Store, a family-run business based in Melbourne, the carefully curated range of sensory products is designed to empower students and create a more inclusive university experience.
The Role of Sensory Tools in University Life
University students often juggle multiple responsibilities, making it challenging to maintain focus and emotional balance. Sensory tools address these challenges by providing tactile, auditory, or movement-based inputs that calm the mind and reduce stress. These tools are especially beneficial for autistic or ADHDer students with neurodivergent traits, but they are equally effective for anyone dealing with academic pressure.
When integrated into daily routines, sensory tools can help students improve focus during study sessions, stay grounded in high-pressure moments, and manage sensory overload in crowded or noisy environments.
My Sensory Store: Curated for Academic Success
My Sensory Store believes in creating products that cater to everyone’s needs, which is why their philosophy is, “It’s not My Sensory Store, but Our Sensory Store.” Their range of sensory tools for university students includes discreet, portable items that fit seamlessly into campus life.
Products such as spikey rings, weighted fidgets, and squishy toys are designed for use during lectures, in libraries, or while studying at home. These tools are not only functional but also stylish, ensuring that students feel confident using them wherever they go.
Real Testimonials: Making a Difference
The impact of My Sensory Store’s products is reflected in the glowing testimonials from their customers:
- Leah R. shares, “This is the best squishy sensory toy!! It feels amazing. I love feeling it smoosh between my fingers. It gets softer the more you play with it. I am so happy I’ve got one!”
- Genevieve T. highlights, “The SpikeyRing is a lifesaver! Super portable and convenient with the keychain – I take it with me everywhere on my keys and can easily remove it for when I want to hold it or carry it in my pocket. I love the dual textures and the metal ring they include.”
These testimonials demonstrate how sensory tools can enhance focus, reduce stress, and create a sense of control in demanding academic environments.

Backed by Science: Why Sensory Tools Work
The brain’s sensory processing system plays a crucial role in regulating emotions and maintaining focus. When students use tactile tools, such as spinners or fidget cubes, they activate pathways in the brain that promote relaxation and improve cognitive function.
As Brittany W. describes, “This has already helped me so much with picking and biting my fingers. The pressure feels really nice sensory-wise and love that it can be used for pain or the scratchy feeling as well. It really is such an amazing invention.”
Sensory tools not only help students stay grounded but also foster confidence and independence, essential traits for succeeding in university life.
