Het effect van gewenning en toch koel blijven

The effect of getting used to it and still staying cool

Research shows that people on holiday are happiest with 'the first cocktail' or 'the first dip in the sea'. Why does the second drink never taste as good as the first? This has to do with the phenomenon of habituation . Your brain adapts very quickly to the new situation and before you know it, something is 'normal'. You also notice this when you step into the sea or the swimming pool, for example. The first steps sometimes feel icy cold, but once you get the hang of it, you swim effortlessly around.

We receive feedback from some users on the scarf that the cooling effect decreases after wearing it for a while. This has to do with the effect of getting used to it. You can also experience this when using the cooling scarf: the first moments you put on the scarf you breathe a sigh of relief, it feels so wonderfully fresh in your neck! After a while you get used to the effect and you are less aware of being cooled. However, the cooling scarf remains very beneficial for your body. Because even though you may register the cooling less intensely compared to when you first put on the scarf, the blood vessels in your neck still benefit from the cooling effect. And that in turn ensures that your entire body benefits from the effect of the cooling scarf. Get used to a comfortable feeling!

Tips & Tricks: to stay cool longer
In order to experience the effect of the first moment again, it is best to stop using it for a while, turn it around, hold the scarf under the cold tap or put it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes. This way you reactivate the innovative cooling elements and give your body an extra cool impulse. This way you outsmart the habituation effect in your brain and you stay nice and cool.
