Not really. 5-10lb isn't that heavy, and they're big enough to distribute the weight nicely. You might want to put a towel under them if you prefer a little padding, but I don't even do that.

I have a few each of 5lb and 10lb, and they do the job well. Just lie down and put a few on your chest and abdomen, or sit with them on your lap - it's definitely calming.

By the way, are you ever going to take off the mask. I frustrates me not knowing who you are. The butterfly broke when Kate had it.

As far as butt kissing goes, there is nothing wrong with it as long as there is not too much butt kissing, or the tongue gets involved (ok thats a lame joke) Kate told me she still reads this site, but I’ll email her a link to your comment.

I don't know how felt would hold weights that well, but she does some pretty good work.

Like holding bags of sugar or something. Squeezing bags of brown sugar is very nice. And silk isn't so bad either. I kind of wish I had a weighted blanket or something... the pressure would be quite nice. Yeah, tactile things tend to be comforting. Like holding bags of sugar or something.
