Reusable Picky Pads for Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Hair Pulling & Skin Picking
Whether you're a fingernail biter, a hair puller, a skin picker - or you're just someone who struggles with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and/or restlessness, finding ways to cope and to minimize your compulsive habits can be tricky.
As someone who's struggled with trichotillomania their whole life and was diagnosed with OCD at 24 years old, finding ways to cope with my compulsion to pick my eyelashes and eyebrows has felt hopeless - until I learned what a picky pad is.
I found out that picky pads existed, so I immediately purchased one to try it out. I absolutely LOVED it - the way that it felt to pick the beads and little pieces out of the silicone mold was so incredibly satisfying. I knew that picky pads would help my hair-picking habits, and I needed more. The only issue I had with it was that it lasted for about a total of 10 minutes.
I knew that I needed to find a way to make my own picky pads - REUSABLE ones. I did some research and found a material that would allow me to reuse the picky pad over and over.
And thus, our reusable picky pad was born.
The perfect sensory fidget toy to satisfy your hair-pulling and skin-picking urges. They're made with a 100% non-toxic and food-contact-safe alternative to silicone, making it reusable up to 30 times. So when you're done picking all the fun pieces out of the pad, you can re-melt it in the microwave and continue to use it.
No, reusable picky pads don't target the root of your disorder. (I highly suggest and encourage you to seek help if you're struggling with trichotillomania, dermatillomania, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, etc.) - BUT they DO help you cope with the symptoms. Whenever you feel the urge to pick your skin or pull your hair, take out your reusable picky pad and pick at that instead.
No matter the challenge you're going through, I hope you get the help you need, and can find comfort and relief through whatever fidget toy of your choosing. Our picky pads are available for purchase (we also do wholesale!).
