Pick 'Em Starter Set - Kaiko Picking, Popping & Hair Pulling Support
Pick 'Em Starter Set - Kaiko Picking, Popping & Hair Pulling Support
Our Pick “Em Starter Set is a kit designed as a support for those that delight in 'extraction' & popping and/or struggle with picking & pulling hair out. Can be a support for those struggling with trichotillomania and skin picking. Those that have tried them in the sample phase have been surprised at how long & satisfying the 'extraction process' of pulling out the fibres & removal of the stones actually is! We have intentionally designed their size as a small, portable tool for anywhere use.
The immersive experience involves focus, digging, resistance, satisfaction & (personally speaking) sheer delight. Warning: can be hard to stop once starting grin. See videos of it in action also. Hands get a good work out, so helpful to rest from time to time. Great for mindfulness, regulation and calming. The Silicone, even after items removed, makes for a great sensory stim tool.
Not so keen that our Pick 'Ems are not re-meltable? We hear you! Our Put 'Em Clear Putty (available separately) allows you to use the contents picked out of the Pick 'Ems over and over again, creating ongoing & sustainable support. Does not feel exactly the same, however for most, definitely still satisfying! See the important reason why we won't use remeltable silicone below.
"I received my package only 10 minutes ago and I already know it's the most therapeutic $50 I've ever spent on myself. I really struggle with picking and it's such a hard thing to describe, but the picking kit mimics the feeling I obsess over so perfectly. The tugging of the nylon genuinely feels so real but I'm not harming my own body and I don't have to feel the guilt. I'm confident that this kit will help me eventually stop picking altogether and I feel validated that this product wouldn't exist if I was the only person experiencing this. Thank you Kaiko!!

"These have been wonderful for my child with Trichotillomania and has diverted them from pulling hairs. Frankie 2025"
"Amazing! I have dermotillomania (skin picking) and really enjoy pulling the little threads out of the silicone. The rocks are also a little tougher (I've been using my hands) but equally as satisfying! Marlene 2025"
"I love it!!! I brought the thread pick 'em and the stone pick 'em and they're absolutely awesome!! I have to pace myself just so I don't pick them out all at once as I have so much fun doing so and it's minimised my self picking heaps. 😊 LIll 2025"
"My girlfriend is a chronic skin picker, so I was super excited to see you had this on your website. I haven’t been able to find a company who doesn’t sell these kits for an arm and a leg. She absolutely loves both types of picky pads! Madalyn 2025"
"It’s so good. Exactly what I needed to stop picking at skin and pulling at hair. It’s in a nice portable tin. Lasts a good while, replacements are available and a great price. Sometimes when I’m irritable and I don’t know what I need or what’s wrong I just grab it to help me calm and get some sensory input. It’s fantastic, would definitely recommend. Jeanette 2025"
"The fishing cord is perfection. But there is also something so satisfying slowly working out large pebbles with my fingers. Absolutely in love with this company, especially the pick em range. So useful and great quality. Only complaint is there’s almost too good, it’s hard not to order more! 🤣 Bec 2025"
"Loved these products!! Super helpful for trichotillomania. Madison 2025" T0
"This is like meth*done for trichers 😊 The harm reduction approach. A good invention. Kara"
These are a great resource for people that struggle with Trichotillomania, but also for ASD fidgeting as well. Brittany March 2025"
"We found it incredibly satisfying to use this kit. The best fidget in a long time. Lea-Anne March 2025"
Pick “Em Starter Set comes in a gorgeous window tin with
1. Thread pick ‘em disc - contains both polyester threads and Japanese nylon fishing line. Designed to mimic pulling out hair. The two materials give different levels of 'tug' or resistance when extracted. The polyester thread can fray and break) in the process, adding to the 'surgical like' procedure of getting it ALL out. The nylon fishing line feels like pulling an ingrown hair out. rubbing along the sides you can often feel the ends of the nylon, quite like hairs on a chin lol.
2. Stone pick ‘em disc - These polished natural stones can be popped out, picked out with nails or you can use the tweezers to extract. Can then be repurposed after they are out. Refill stacks are available separately and have additional materials also. Squishing the pad is quite satisfying both with stones still in and also when removed. (See note re Trypophobia below though)
3. 2 pairs of purpose designed, 403 chromium stainless steel tweezers (food grade, corrosion resistant, high strength & hardness rated)- pointy tip & pointed slanted tip. See safety information below. They are sharp & are for use with the pads to pull out fibres & stones. (valued at 29.95)
4. Teal Spikeyring silicone picking pad - flexible silicone with texture both sides for ongoing picking support and sensory input. Can be put on a keyring. (valued at 14.90)
Total kit value $61.50
Each of the silicone discs contain items with purpose in mind. In addition to being pure JOY for many, there is a more serious side to this genuine sensory seeking behaviour. Picking skin & hair pulling can be a form of stimming sometimes referred to as body-focused repetitive behaviour & super common, especially for those, like me, that are neurodivergent. It can be a sensory self-regulation behaviour, stim or part of repetitive ‘loop’. It can lead to compromised skin, bald patches, risk of infection, scars, shame and distress. It can also be a challenge to stop, even when harmful. Which is why we have a focus on having a range of tools to assist in supporting this sensory need.
These are single use, however will likely surprise you as to how long they take to do.
Two reasons we elected to not use the reuseable silicone:
-
- Aesethtic reasons - it's colour is resembles 'wee'
- Most importantly, for safety reasons - if over heated (length heated too long or due to variance in microwave) or heated too many times it can catch the microwave alight.
Likely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the threads & stones leave holes. Trypophobia is an aversion or repulsion to objects like honeycombs and sponges that have repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes.
Once you work out preference for stones or threads, we have refill packs of each sold separately.
The stones can be kept and re-purposed as a decorative feature in a bowl or scattered in the top of a candle, for example.

RE SQUISHIES & Chew Supports
Please note for hygiene reasons we cannot accept these as returns if opened or handled as we cannot re sell them. No one wants a squishy or chew support handled by others lol. A tad ick.
For consumable items such as chew supports and squishies - Please note a warranty is not provided unless product is faulty on first opening. Please refer to each squishy product page for further info re life expectancy information.
If the goods are faulty, damaged on arrival or they have been incorrectly described we offer the choice of a refund or exchange.
Please contact us with 48 hours of accepting delivery & include a photo and or video.

RE SQUISHIES - Due to the flexible, squishy & stretchy nature of these products, it does mean they don’t last forever. It would be awesome if they did, but unfortunately they don't...
Depending on how they are used, they can last an hour, week or a year. All squishy and stretchy items are durable, but not indestructible. Squishies typically have a plug/join where they were filled. This is its most vulnerable spot, so if at all possible it is best to use this palm side in so the least amount of pressure is placed in the join. This will maximise its life.
They are not recommended for children who may try to bite, chew or ingest the contents. Avoid aggressive or excessive squishing, stretching and contact with any sharp objects.
Please note a warranty is not provided unless product is faulty on first opening.
