Finger Spikey Duo - Kaiko Fidgets

The Kaiko Finger Spikey Set is a combo of our two sizes in the finger spikey range.  It is the best way to explore preference and function.  Both provide firm and textured sensory feedback when rolled up and down the finger.

The Kaiko Wrist & Finger Spikey Fidgets are one of our most popular fidgets for those who need deep and focused pressure to assist with self-regulation. They are made of a powder coated metal that is 'woven' to be stretchy and flexible with firm input to the fingers. They are an ideal fidget for those who pick at their skin, fingernails and clothing.

Especially for those who live with anxiety. We have had particularly good feedback from those who pick or self-harm. For many they provide 'ouch' without damaging the skin. Of course, the spikey fidget does not replace accessing professional help. It is a useful tool for the kit-bag.

The Kaiko Spikey helps with self-regulation, calming, focus, concentration, tactile awareness and as a substitution for unhealthy/unhelpful behaviours.

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.

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' 😊 

Care - If wanting to wear it or alter sensory input you can gently over stretch it to increase its size. To do this take your time and very slowly work around ring with both hands putting tension on metal. Needs to be done bit by bit and section by section to create an even stretch. (See video). Over stretching will cause it to loose shape and it will not rebound.   Please note once stretched it cannot be unstretched. Thus, not suitable for those that like to pull at things with two hands, like to pull things apart or generally like to test limits of products.  Over time the colour may wear/fade, especially if sanitiser/hand creams etc are used. 

The finger spikey isn't designed to be twisted back and forth on itself If twisted/rotated it can undo at the join and generally cannot be reconnected.    This is not a product fault rather it being used not as intended/within the products limitations.
