Chain Fidget Range by Kaiko
These are our most popular range–They look simplistic but are a favourite for approximately 80% of my thousands of customers.
"Really high quality, well made item. Very happy with purchase, easy to carry in pocket at unobtrusive when using. Thank you. Paul August 2023"
Can be put over finger(s) and rotated around and/or squished in between fingers. Typically used over pointer finger, very similar action to pen clicking. The mega chain range can also be worn over the wrist (size dependent) as a wearable sensory support. See sizing info below.
Some like to also find 'squeezing' the chains or flicking/looping the chain back and forth assists in creating high sensory input/'ouch' for harm minimisation.
The Kaiko Fidget range is incredibly popular for older children, teenagers and adults. They are simple in design using stainless steel metal parts which give them a funky look and feel and also mean they do not break easily.
These small & discreet & perfect to keep in your pocket & take anywhere! They are quiet making them ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.
"I adore this bracelet /chain. I love spinning it around my fingers and massaging it in my palms, it's a sick aesthetic. I got my house mate one-he has ADHD and has never had a fidget before and he says the weight feels calming and he plays with it while it's around his wrist throughout the day when he is talking or working.

SIZES
Mini - the mini fits on one finger without a lot of slack. Even as an adult it will go on finger to fidget for most hands. Lots of 6 year old and under like this one.
Medium - this is the most purchased size. For most its is great over one finger (maybe 2 for tiny hands) a great blend of a little slack in the chain.
Jumbo - larger hands like this one or those who want it over 2 fingers to rotate or like more chain slack to fidget with.
XL - for those that want a lot of slack to fidget and manipulate.
MEGA's can be used as a large fidget, one handed or two handed. Also can be worn over the wrist as a single (& taken off when you want to use it) or in multiples as a portable weighted product. Most who wear it as a weighted product wear 4 plus on their wrist.
Wearing the MEGAS on wrist - to wear it it sizing very much depends on the wrist and hand size. Mike, Kai's dad is a fairly average size bloke, and he wears the 20 as do I, a large chunky woman lol. Kai who is similar size to mike wears an 18. Most adult females are an 18 (if petite 16). We get asked frequently re wrist size... due to the chain not being flexible at all its more about the hand size and getting it over the hand so its hard to say what wrist size suits which. Using us as an example again - I am a 19.5 cm around wrist and wear a mega 20 my husband is 18 cm around wrist and also wears a mega 20 but at a push can get a 18 on. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
Once you find the right size they are amazing in multiples. There is a set of 5 megas 16 through to 24 which give you a broad range of sizes to sample. We are happy to swap out sizes for these bulk sets if you wish, just need to note at checkout.
Video shown with customer in red jumper is using one of the Mega chains, flicking & high sensory input can be acheived using them in this manner.

Keeping the fidgets sanitised. - They are fine to wipe , ours regularly go through washing machine, the trick is to 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.
