We wanted to build strong sensory input into something many people already use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, it is a beautifully weighted metal ballpoint pen. But built into the top are two very different kinds of sensory input: a smooth spinner for repetitive movement, and our familiar \u003cstrong\u003eSpikey safe ouch texture\u003c\/strong\u003e for concentrated pressure through the thumb or fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can write with it, spin it, press into the Spikey top or simply hold the weight in your hand. That makes it a useful option for work, meetings, classrooms, study or anywhere you want sensory support that still looks like an everyday pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy safe ouch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people seek strong or even painful sensory input through picking, pinching, scratching, digging or biting. The aim isn’t to tell someone to simply stop seeking that sensation. It’s about having another place to direct the need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spikey top is designed to provide \u003cstrong\u003estrong, concentrated sensory input through controlled pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pressing the points into the thumb or fingertips can create that intense input without needing to direct it at skin through picking or scratching behaviours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpin. Press. Write.

You don’t have to explain what it is. It is, quite literally, a pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHelpful to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spinner is \u003cstrong\u003equiet, not silent\u003c\/strong\u003e. You may hear a small metallic hum as it spins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spikey top is deliberately designed to provide \u003cstrong\u003estrong, concentrated sensory input\u003c\/strong\u003e when pressed into the thumb or fingertips. The textured area is relatively small, making it easy to direct that input exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of our \u003cstrong\u003esafe ouch\u003c\/strong\u003e tools, it needs to be used as intended. The Spikey points are functional. If they are deliberately and repeatedly dragged or scraped across the skin rather than pressed into it, \u003cstrong\u003ethey can potentially break the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor that reason, the Spikey Spinner Pen won’t suit someone who is unable or unlikely to use it as intended. For those users, a different sensory tool may be a better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; ink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel \u0026amp; copper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 mm ballpoint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePress, don’t scrape.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Spikey surface is intended to be pressed into the thumb or fingertips.
