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'
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.
