Coming into this review from a really different place than what a lot of the other reviewers appear to be coming from so I especially wanted to review for anyone else looking for these tools. I'm not on the spectrum, but have diagnosed C-PTSD, PTSD with dissociation and I've got an eating disorder. Part of my struggle with PTSD is BFRB's. I have a tendency to pick and bite my skin and nails, pull my hair out and pick my nose until I've damaged far up into my nasal passage and give myself frequent blood noses. I've been getting a really focused mental health care approach the last year or so especially, and since receiving my diagnosis and a lot more support, I was put into a number of therapy programs that teach me how to come back into my body. I'm doing fairly well with handling my PTSD now but the struggle is still with my BFRB's. I've given myself Paronychia twice in the last 8 months from biting my fingers (antibiotics, ugh) and I kind of landed on this website after my therapist gave me a sniff box. I felt a little silly being some place in public sniffing away at it until I realised that I got myself through the episode and was able to put away my sniff box and resume my normal activities and that's what prompted me to find more tools. I love the range Kaiko has because it helps me to think of things I could use that I wouldn't necessarily have done in the moment but still do the job pulling me out of the harmful behaviour. Another thing that matters to me a lot, which might sound really strange, is that they don't leave a smell on my hands? I hate hate hate the smell of metal on my skin and I really like that I can use my fidgets as needed and put them back into their tin (more on that) and go back to my usual activity. Another cool thing is that they come in their own tins and I think that's great for keeping them safe but they're also really amazing quality and heavy so it keeps everything else safe around them too. Great for popping in your bag and you know you won't damage whatever's in there. I actually find myself packing a bigger bag when I leave the house just to be able to accommodate my fidgets because I do, in fact, need them.
This one in particular I've used a little less because the Spikey Hand Roller I got in the same order has had more use, I loved that one a little more than I expected, but this one is equally as good. It's got a full set of the little black bullets and a full set of the little rainbow bullets that you can switch out based on your colour preference, I suppose. And then it has the option for you to add or remove bullets to your preference, I found I liked them a little lopsided so that I could feel the pull of it when it spun and that seemed to distract me better than having an even number of the bullets in there. t's also basically silent so I'm assuming for someone who might need to be a bit more discreet - maybe you're at work or something. This would be perfect. A very well thought out and constructed product. I love it. Thank. you so much, absolutely worth the price tag.
