dbtskills: I have a relatively mild skin picking problem. When my hands aren’t distracted or when I’m anxious, I’m skimming my body looking for bumps to pick. I’ll pick and pick until I’m red and bleeding. I keep my nails short to help but I recently got these fidget/stim tools to put my hands to use when I’m watching tv or reading! They’re soft and squishy and can be plucked. I’d highly recommend them for anyone who struggles with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors like skin picking or hair pulling. There are soooo many types of toys out there to choose from. So far the ones I got are helping me! We got a q about where to buy these from @mrobotIt’s been a min but I’m PRETTY sure I got them from Therapy Shoppe where you can sort by reason you need the tool (like they have a section for tools that may help skin picking)You can pretty much get fidget tools anywhere these days, even in big box stores. But Therapy Shoppe and other similar sites like Play Therapy Supply & My Sensory Tools have a seemingly endless number of tools to choose from. -- source link
