In addition to being pure JOY for many, there is a more serious side to this genuine sensory seeking behaviour.    Picking skin \u0026amp; hair pulling can be a form of stimming sometimes referred to as  body-focused repetitive behaviour \u0026amp; 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are single use, however will likely surprise you as to how long they take to do. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo reasons we elected to not use the reusable silicone:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit's colour resembles 'wee' (ick i know)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 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.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLikely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the threads \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have a Pick 'Em Starter Set \u0026amp; also a Natural Stone Pick 'Em Stack sold separately.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilicone Pad size: 60mm x 10mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterials : silicone, polyester \u0026amp; nylon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContains small parts however we recommend those using this kit are 8 years + in developmental\/intellectual age.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSafety Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Please note this kit is not a toy and should be used for the purposes intended.   The silicone is single use and should not be reheated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52109082984728,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/9136\/3608\/files\/ThreadPickEmshairfigsupports.webp?v=1779848517","url":"https:\/\/figsupports.com.au\/products\/thread-pick-em-stack-3-picking-hair-pulling-supports","provider":"www.figsupports.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
