Innovative Tool for Anxiety Relief
Five stars for sheer ingenuity and quality of this product! As someone who deals with an anxiety-related picking disorder, I had never seen a product like this before specifically geared towards a solution and that alone is noteworthy.<br /><br />The product quality in this kit is great - it could potentially benefit from a bit more structured packaging to hold the items in place during transit, but that is a nitpick. The kit comes with two prepared stones, one generously covered with sequins. (I personally preferred the non-sequin option as it was easier to pull the glue off without getting messy, but that was just my preference.) I enjoyed the sensory feel of the glue and it did hold my attention and keep my hands busy. The thicker you apply the glue, the easier it is to pull off, but it also tends to come off in one piece that way. You can adjust to your level of preference when reapplying.<br /><br />Now, just a note for those that specifically deal with skin picking. This is a useful tool and I fully recommend trying it if it interests you, but just be aware that it probably shouldn't be the only one you use. This is mainly because picking often happens during stressful situations that might happen outside the home, and this tool isn't something I would be comfortable taking, say, to work or on public transit. It's great for at home or another private space if you have an urge and need to keep your hands busy. It's also awesome if you just want to focus on something to quiet your thoughts or space out. However, it does make a bit of a mess, so you need to have a protected space to hold the glue bits that come off and enough room to manipulate a sharp object (if you choose to use the tool that comes with the set instead of your hands.)<br /><br />On another note, this is a woman-owned small business, so it's one I feel great about supporting!
