Thread Pick ‘Em Stack - 3 Picking & Hair Pulling Supports

This stack comes with 3 discs - each with different threads & levels of ‘pull’.

Disc 1 :    2 fibres in 1 – both polyester thread & Japanese fishing line.  

Designed to mimic pulling out hair.  The two materials give different levels of 'tug' or  resistance when extracted.  The polyester thread can fray and break) in the process, adding to the 'surgical like' procedure of getting it ALL out.  The nylon fishing line feels like pulling an ingrown hair out.  rubbing along the sides you can often feel the ends of the nylon, quite like hairs on a chin lol.

Disc 2 :  vibrant rainbow polyester cord.  Great resistance as you pull out & leaves the most noticeable 'hole' on removal.

Disc 3 :  fine nail art thread fibres that provide less resistance but more challenge as you try dig and pull out. They are partial to breaking, creating opportunity for more digging and effort.

Each of the silicone discs contain items with purpose in mind. In addition to being pure JOY for many, there is a more serious side to this genuine sensory seeking behaviour.    Picking skin & hair pulling can be a form of stimming sometimes referred to as  body-focused repetitive behaviour & 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.

These are single use, however will likely surprise you as to how long they take to do. Our Put 'Em Putty is a great way to repurpose the fibres (or stones from out other variations) into the putty for foraging / continued pulling.  It doe not feel exactly the same, however, for most is still satisfying.

Two reasons we elected to not use the reuseable silicone:

1. 1. it's colour resembles 'wee' (ick i know)
   2.  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 on fire... We are not prepared to take that risk for anyone.

Likely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the threads & 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.

We have a large range of Pick 'Ems and more on the way!
