KAIKO Finger Spikey Fidget – Rose

Our amazing Kaiko Spikey fidget has been an instant favourite! It provides firm and textured sensory feedback when rolled up and down the finger. It is touted to have remedial benefit, stimulating acupressure points & assisting with circulation. These are stretchy but firm.

It is particularly good for those that pick and bite as the ‘bitey’ sensation stimulates in a similar way without the harm.
We affectionately refer to this one as the “coriander of fidgets” – you either love or hate this one.

Some ways to use the spikey…

• Roll up & down the finger. It can be rolled using the same hand or alternate hand.
• Rub between two palms
• Hold in one or two hands to fidget
• Place on finger & twist around using thumb (similar to a ‘Chinese burn’) applying varying degrees of pressure-dependent on preference. This technique has been particularly helpful for some in minimising self-harm. It can provide the ‘hurt’ without harm to the skin. Of course, the spikey fidget does not replace accessing professional help. It is a useful tool for the kit-bag.

Please note if wearing the spikey for any period of time that it is important to monitor the skin to ensure it is not compromising circulation.

You can slightly stretch the metal, working around it to create a looser feel if preferred. Needs to be done bit by bit and section by section to create an even stretch. Please note once stretched it cannot be un stretched.

Keeping the fidgets sanitised. – Wipe excess moisture off them. If left wet/damp (eg in washing machine lol) they can rust in appearance a little but generally does not affect function. wiping with an antibacterial wipe or damp cloth then drying off thoroughly is the key.
