One Thing That Might Be Helpful As An Aid Is A Heated Body Pillow. They're About $100, But It Can Help

One thing that might be helpful as an aid is a heated body pillow. They're about $100, but it can help to simulate hugging. The combination of that and a weighted blanket works particularly well. Cheaper option would be a heating pad & a regular pillow, you might already have those laying around. It won't be quite as nice, but it could still help.

Combining visualization (within a headspace situation) with hugging someone who is co-con can also work well. And combining all of these things can work *very* well.

How do I hug my headmates and have them actually feel it? They're cool and deserve hugs :]

Hello! I relate to this a lot,

Now I'm not familiar with stuff in headspace or an inner world as we don't really have one. However! I often will hug the body/ourselves, with the To Be Hugged in front or co-con with me, and that works. In fact, all physical affection we want to show to one another and feel it is through the body .. it's actually really comforting ^♡^

There are likely other ways, and this may not work for everyplural, but this is what we do! I hope they get their hugs <3
