"Really helpful and very subtle so i can calm myself at work and in public without worrying about questions. So grateful for this site. Sue 2025"

"Discreet enough that it looks like a scrunchy or bracelet, it makes it easy to wear to work. I am finding it super helpful during the day for a deeper sensory input, and it has reduced my skin picking when at work. Love it! Isabella K Aug 2023"

"Absolutely love the spikey rings and bracelet. Bought them to hopefully stop skin picking around my nails (as you can see, my thumb is red raw) and I’m extremely impressed. They provide a very satisfying sensation with the perfect amount of discomfort, and rolling them creates a similar movement to picking which satisfies the compulsion. My cat also approves of the products - she pulled the free gift straight out of the box and has been carrying it in her mouth everywhere she goes. So a big thank you from the both of us!

Some ways to use the wrist & finger spikey...

WRIST

Press & Twist - while on wrist, press with other hand applying pressure and twist (similar to a 'Chinese burn'). This technique has been particularly helpful for some in minimising self-harm.
Roll up & down the arm
Rub between two palms
Fidget & Stim - Hold in one or two hands to fidget
Flick - Wear on wrist, ankle or even at elbow & flick (elbow can create a tingling)
Clench - Wear over palm (around hand) and clench, squeeze & pulse
Rub - on parts of the body to replace picking, such as lips, fingers, feet.

FINGER

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.

"The Kaiko Finger Spikey is amazing. I'm prone to anxious picky at my nails, fingers, hands, and lip and this has been a great fidget to distract me from this and also replace the sensory seeking due to the pain element and feedback on my skin. I love that I don't end up with broken skin and it is finally giving my nails a chance to grow back properly. Stellar job guys! Sarah M July 2023"

How do I SELECT the Right SIZE?

Kaiko Spikey for wrist comes in 6 sizes.

The sizing selected for the wrist spikey is very personal. Many of those that have tried it and find it helpful end up getting a range of sizes to use in different contexts/situations.

At first glance, it’s easy to assume sizing selection is best based on size of wrist or age of person using it. This is certainly one contributing factor, however over time its become clear that is isn't the only thing to consider.

Its so important especially with the wrist spikey to select best size for purpose.
The wrist spikey is used in used 2 main ways –

1. for high sensory input rolled up and down arm -The small & medium are great for strong input, but generally not comfortable to wear all day, more a 'use as required and then store away' size. The smaller, the more sensory input it provides when rolled.

2. for harm minimisation /high input when distressed (twisted and pressed into wrist buy other hand in the moment of need) – for this you want the product to be wearable and literally on hand as needed.

To wear it all day you want it to not band or create restriction. When using it in this way the size isn’t what delivers the high input, it’s the pressure on twisting that does. SO a comfortable wearing sizes is what you're best to select.

For very small wrists the large is good but for your average child to adult it’s the Large 'plus a bit' or the XL that is best. The XXL for larger/chunky wrists or for use on ankles.

So essentially - if twisting it around wrist the same amount of input can be achieved using any of the sizes. It is the pressure from the other hand that creates the degree of "ouch".

If unsure, we are happy to chat regarding re your specific needs if that would be helpful.

The unstretched lengths of each if they were undone (so internal circumference) are:

For harm reduction & all day wear generally recommend ...

PETITE WRIST : SIZE LARGE: 17 cm length - For all day wear for younger children or for petite wrists.

AVERAGE WRIST : SIZE LARGE 'PLUS A BIT': 18 cm length - For all day wear for youth and average size wrists.

LARGER WRIST : SIZE XL: 20.5cm length for the XL - this often the best size for ALL DAY wear for most teens & adults.

VERY LARGE WRIST or LEG : SIZE XXL: 24cm length -This is suitable for ankles and very large wrist

For compression on roll & NOT all day wear select...

SIZE SMALL: 12.5 cm length - more for compression on roll. or

SIZE MEDIUM: 14.5cm length - this is a great size for intense input for adult wrists to use as needed, then take off.

PLEASE NOTE:

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.

Please note if wearing the spikey for any period of time that it is important to monitor the skin to ensure it it is not compromising circulation.

The metal is highly durable but can be over stretched if used not in accordance with its typical use by rigorous stretching. It is not meant to be pulled or twisted significantly. They may not suit some that like to pull things apart. It will not recover if over stretched or broken.
