Natural Stone Pick ‘Em Stack can be used as a refill set or stand alone pack of 3. They are designed as a support for those that delight in 'extraction' & and/or struggle with picking & popping. Those that have tried them in the sample phase have been surprised at how long & satisfying the 'extraction process' actually is! We have intentionally designed their size as a small, portable tool for anywhere use.
 
These polished natural stones can be popped out, picked out with nails or you can use the tweezers to extract. Can then be repurposed after they are out. Squishing the pad is quite satisfying both with stones still in and also when removed. (See note re Trypophobia below though). The Silicone, even after items removed, makes for a great sensory stim tool.
The immersive experience involves focus, digging, resistance, satisfaction & (personally speaking) sheer delight. Warning: can be hard to stop once starting. Hands get a good work out, so helpful to rest from time to time. Great for mindfulness, regulation and calming. Squishing the silicone, even after stones removed, more many is satisfying.
 
This stack comes with 3 discs
design provides a different popping & extraction experience. Can use fingers, nails or tweezers.
Disc 1 & 2 : Both have the same larger natural stone embedded in the discs. Great for picking, popping or digging out.
3 : Smaller painted natural stones. They are a little harder to extract, creating opportunity for more popping, digging and increased effort.
 
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 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.
 
Two reasons we elected to not use the reuseable silicone:
it's colour resembles 'wee' (ick i know)
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 the microwave alight. 
 
Likely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the stones leave holes. Trypophobia is an aversion or repulsion to objects like honeycombs and sponges that have repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes.
