How it works
How it works
Bufido the Panda uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) a calming technique that applies gentle pressure to the body, similar to the feeling of a hug. This pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for helping you relax, recharge, and feel safe.
When you hug Bufido or let his weighted arms wrap around you, it sends a signal to your brain that says:
"You're safe. You can slow down now."
This physical cue helps:
- Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
- Calm racing thoughts
- Boost serotonin and dopamine (your happy and feel-good chemicals)
- Support better focus and sleep
Whether you’re at your desk, in bed, or on the couch, Bufido provides an instant wave of calm when you need it most.

It's helped me so much with overstimulation. When I feel overwhelmed, Bufido helps me pause. I'm calmer, more focused, and feel held somehow.
The best cuddle buddy for solo evenings
I bring Bufido with me from room to room like a security blanket. No shame. It gives me something stable to hold onto.
Helped my focus for cozy wind-downs
I didn't expect to love this panda as much as I do. It's soft, perfectly weighted, and instantly calming. It's cute, calming, and weirdly therapeutic.
Grounds me every time for stressy days
As someone with ADHD, it's great to have something to help focus and calm down. The pressure is subtle but makes a big impact.
