Please Note: These products are sold with their intended purpose as described. We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of items where physical force has been used to damage the product or where it had been used in a manner that it was not designed for. If in doubt of its suitability, please get in touch.
The Adult Rip-Resistant Bodysuit with Short Legs 2520 is a strong, durable adaptive garment designed for adults who may pull, stretch, tear or repeatedly remove their clothing. With short sleeves and short legs, it provides secure coverage while offering a lighter option for warmer environments or where full-length leg coverage is not required.
Made from a robust polyester and cotton blend, the bodysuit features strong stitching and internal seams that are fully reinforced with special tape to help withstand stretching, pulling and ripping. A strong back zip makes independent undressing more difficult and can also help restrict access to nappies, continence pads and garments worn underneath.
The bodysuit is available with a choice of two fastening options: a press-stud fastening with protective cover or a ring closure that can be used with a suitable lock. Please note that a lock is not supplied with the garment.
The garment is rip-resistant rather than rip-proof. It is designed to withstand pulling, stretching and ripping in most circumstances but is not intended to withstand persistent or extreme behaviour.
The expected lifespan of rip-resistant clothing can vary considerably depending on the individual, their behaviour and how the garment is cared for. As a general guide, garments may last approximately 3 to 12 months.
The garment is fitted with a strong, heavy-duty zip; however, excessive strain or pressure can damage any fastening. Correct sizing is particularly important. A garment that is too tight, especially across the chest or back, can place unnecessary strain on the zip and seams. It should fit securely while still allowing comfortable movement.
The zip should be fully closed before washing, as washing the garment with the zip open can place additional strain on the zip and zip head. Repeated or forceful pulling of the fastening may also cause damage.
If the wearer chews or bites clothing, uses sharp objects, or can gain access to and repeatedly pull at internal seams or fabric layers, this garment may not be suitable.
Please note: This item is made to order in the Netherlands and is therefore not returnable. Please double-check the size and fastening option carefully before ordering and contact Fledglings if any further information is needed.

Hello Nick,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that the Rip Resistant Bodysuit with Short Legs is working perfectly for your needs and providing the security you were looking for.
Regarding the lock, our supplier doesn’t currently offer it, but it’s something that may be available in the future. We do get a lot of comments about the locks in the image. We really appreciate your recommendation and your thoughtful comments!
If you ever have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d be happy to help.
Kind Regards

Having now bought 4 of these items i can confirm they are a very practical solution for someone with PICA and destructive tendencies and self harm tendencies. These suits do not tear or rip. I would say size wise they come up small, so size up when ordering. Loosing a few stars as i think the rings and popper fastening are explained badly on site. The rings arent unusable without a lock which I can’t find on the site as an item to purchase. Without a lock it can’t be closed at the top securely- that’s not explained well on site. Obviously the high cost is throughly offensive. Thirdly after spending almost £500 on 4 items sending them by 2 nd class post at a cost to me as the only option is not acceptable or reasonable. They should be free next day delivery and tracked.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for the Rip Resistant Suit.
We’re really sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with the product. Your feedback is very important to us, and I will pass it on to our management team—we’ll also review the product listing to ensure it’s as clear and informative as possible for future customers.
The pricing of the garment is set by our supplier, as we work closely with them to make these specialist items available to families in the UK. The Rip Resistant Suit is a unique, made-to-order product that many of our customers find incredibly helpful due to its durability and effectiveness.
As a small not-for-profit charity, our mission is to support families with disabled children by offering specialist products at the lowest possible cost. To keep prices affordable, some items are shipped directly from our suppliers. In this case, the suit is made and dispatched from the Netherlands, which unfortunately means we can’t offer free or next-day delivery.
We do encourage customers to measure their child before ordering to help ensure the best fit and to avoid the inconvenience and cost of returns. We understand that online shopping can be tricky without seeing the items in person, and we're always looking for ways to improve that experience.
Thank you again for shopping with Fledglings. We truly value your support and feedback, and we’re always working to improve our service and better support the families we serve.
