The amazing Kaiko Finger Spikey just got waaaay cooler! grin... Known for our love of all things OIL SLICK, we have been trying to create this finish for our spikey range & finally here it is! This is our standard size of finger spikey. Please note no two look the same, the nature of electroplating to gain the oil slick finish means that each is unique.

We also have a tighter version for higher sensory input. We have a Spikey Duo set of both sizes of finger spikey if you want to explore preference and function.

"I love these things so much! They stop me from picking my skin, help with anxiety, and just generally work really well at keeping me focused and calm. The sensation isn't for everyone - very much an acquired taste - but I am obsessed! Emmy R April 2024"

It's important to watch the video here on ways to use so you/they understand how to achieve what you/they need in terms of 'ouch' 😊

The Kaiko Wrist & Finger Spikey Fidgets are one of our most popular fidgets for those who need deep and focused pressure to assist with self-regulation. They are an ideal fidget for those who pick at their skin, fingernails and clothing and also for harm minimisation.

We have had particularly good feedback regarding this tool from those who pick or self-harm. For many they provide 'ouch' without damaging the skin. Of course, the spikey fidget does not replace accessing professional help. It is a useful tool for the kit-bag.

The Kaiko Spikey helps with self-regulation, calming, focus, concentration, tactile awareness and as a substitution for unhealthy/unhelpful behaviours.

We have also had a number of customers report it being helpful in reducing pain, swelling & disturbed sensation in fingers. The finger spikeys are touted to have remedial benefit, stimulating acupressure points & assisting with circulation. Please consult your treating clinician regarding their use for your specific condition.

Size is not so much about finger size but more about level on constriction you prefer. The 'tighter' spikey is much firmer to roll. If using it to twist around finger to replace picking or clench fist when its on for "ouch' then the bigger of the two is better generally.

Inner diameter unstretched

Finger Spikey : approx. 13mm

Tighter Finger Spikey: approx. 10mm

Feedback from one of our lovely customers Sally ... "I don’t think I initially understood quite what they would feel like. I was a bit concerned that the spikey might be a bit too pinchy and overwhelming but I was delighted to discover that it’s very similar to running your fingers over the bristles of a plastic hairbrush."

"Perfect for my older kid to help them avoid picking at their fingers or pulling on their hair. Works a treat. Coralie July 2023"

"Great fidget for driving or typing - I don't need to put it down to type or to put both hands on the wheel. Linda M Oct 2023"

Some ways to use the spikey...

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. This technique has been particularly helpful for some in minimising self-harm. It can provide the 'hurt' without harm to the skin. Of course, the spikey fidget does not replace accessing professional help. It is a useful tool for the kit-bag.
Place on middle of pointer finger and 'pick' at it from the side with thumb nail- great to replace picking.
Hold in one or two hands to fidget.

Please note if wearing the spikey for any period of time that it is important to monitor the skin to ensure it is not compromising circulation.

If wanting to wear it or alter sensory input you can gently over stretch it to increase its size. To do this take your time and very slowly work around ring with both hands putting tension on metal. Needs to be done bit by bit and section by section to create an even stretch. (See video). Over stretching will cause it to loose shape and it will not rebound. Please note once stretched it cannot be unstretched. Thus, not suitable for those that like to pull at things with two hands, like to pull things apart or generally like to test limits of products. Over time the colour may wear/fade, especially if sanitiser/hand creams etc are used.

The finger spikey isn't designed to be twisted back and forth on itself If twisted/rotated it can undo at the join and generally cannot be reconnected. This is not a product fault rather it being used not as intended/within the products limitations.

"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"

If your order is over 135 pound (approx 260 AUD) then we can ship and you pay the VAT on its arrival. Unfortunately orders under this amount are way to complicated to manage as we have to charge all the fees our end.

This is what is on the UK information pages: For the sale of goods over £135, you might not be required to collect VAT at the point of sale. In this case, VAT and duties are remitted by the importer. If you use registration-based taxes and have a UK VAT registration, then VAT will not be applied to your sales to customers in the UK. If you choose to, you can charge your customer for VAT and duties at the time of sale, and then provide these funds to the shipper or importer using a shipping label. Alternately, you can send the orders without charging VAT and duties, and your customer will pay extra funds at the time of delivery.
