Some ways to use the wrist & finger spikey...

WRIST

• Roll up & down the arm
• Rub between two palms
• Hold in one or two hands to fidget
• Wear on wrist & flick
• Place on wrist & twist around (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 the harm to the skin. Of course, the spikey fidget does not replace accessing professional help. It is a useful tool for the kit bag.
• Rub it on parts of body to replace picking, such as lips

FINGER

• Roll up & down the finger. It can be rolled using the same hand or alternate hand. This is great for focus.
• Place on one finger at the base (middle finger often best) & squeeze/clench fist. This is, for most, the way they use it for harm minimisation.
• Rub between two palms for a scratchy feel.
• 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.

"The Kaiko Finger Spikey is amazing. I'm prone to anxious picky at my nails, fingers, hands, and lip and this has been a great fidget to distract me from this and also replace the sensory seeking due to the pain element and feedback on my skin. I love that I don't end up with broken skin and it is finally giving my nails a chance to grow back properly. Stellar job guys! Sarah M July 2023"
