-
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
Please note: if wearing the wrist spikey for any period of time, it is important to monitor the skin to ensure it it is not compromising circulation. Many who like this also like the Kaiko Spikey for their finger.
The spikey material is not designed to be over stretched/ over extended using both hands. If overstretched it will become out of shape and not return to its original form. Thus, not suitable for those who like to pull at things with two hands, pull things apart, or generally test limits of products!
