Calm Buddi Turtle Harm Minimisation Tool on Custom Kaiko Keyring
Providing safe ouch, in fact the 'ouchiest' of all our harm reduction tools! Pressing your thumb into the innner spikes is next level ouch, without damage to the skin. The rim around the spikes creates a safe barrier form using the spikes to damage skin. We find particularly helpful when extremely dysregulated. The feedback below regarding how others have found them is worth the read!
This pocket sized, sensory support is crafted entirely from recycled post-consumer plastic right here in Australia! As a result each turtle is a slightly different colour variation. It comes clipped onto our kaiko fidgets keyring which provides a secure way of making sure its on hand when you NEED it.
Covered with many soothing curves and textured surfaces for the fingers to explore. Inside its shell is a spiky inner cavity to provide ' safe ouch' , helpful for harm reduction. The other side of shell - a smooth section similar to a rubbing stone, is also great for overwhelming moments. Even the open/close of these has sensory satisfaction to it!
Please note that the "shell" does come off. For most using it for harm minimisation, it is helpful to remove it all together so that there is quick access in the moment of need. If leaving the shell on, it is not uncommon for it to unclip from body when opening, This is not a fault, just part of how its been designed.
We have clipped our Calm Buddi's 'ready to clip & go' on one of our custom made Kaiko Fidget dual ended keyrings. This allows you to safely secure it both while in use and in between uses. Can clip to your keys, bag, in your pocket or through a ribbon loop sewn in bottom of pocket.
Omg! I love him, he's so cute and has helped me so much! I haven't harmed since buying him! Paige G 2025"
Love this. Hold this while I'm sleeping I attached it on a stretchy hair elastic so it doesn't get lost. It's helped me when I want to pick my fingers or when I want to hurt myself. If you are a self harmer please buy one.Rebecca S 2025"

"I’m obsessed - I use this personally and professionally as a clinical psychologist when supporting clients to identify strategies to regulate their emotions and as a harm minimisation tool. If I could buy them all and give them to everyone I see I would. Emma A March 2025"
