These Stone Pick ‘em's can be used as a refill set or stand alone pack of 3 if you have tweezers. They are designed as a support for those that delight in extraction and/or struggle with picking or popping. Our clients that have tried them in our practice have been surprised at how long & satisfying the extraction process is.
The immersive experience involves focus, digging, resistance and satisfaction. Great for mindfulness, regulation and calming.
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. Squishing the pad is quite satisfying both with stones still in and also when removed.
This stack comes with 3 discs - each with different threads & levels of ‘pull’.
This stack comes with 3 discs
Each design provides a different popping & extraction experience. Can use fingers, nails or tweezers.
Disc 1 & 2 : Both have the same larger natural stone embedded in the discs. Great for picking, popping or digging out.
Disc 3 : Smaller painted natural stones. They are a little harder to extract, creating opportunity for more popping, digging and increased effort.
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 and it is very common, especially for those 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 surprise you as to how long they take to do. We choose not to use reusable silicone for safety reasons. If overheated for too long or due to a variance in the microwave power it can catch on fire.
Likely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the threads & stones (the other refill stack available) leave holes. Trypophobia is an aversion or repulsion to objects like honeycombs and sponges that have repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes.
We have a Pick 'Em Starter Set & also a Thread Pick 'Em Stack sold separately.
