Stim toys

Post Reply New Topic

What stim toys do you have?? It would be nice to see pictures, links, but descripcions will do. thanks.

I'm at work so I can't take any pictures - but I have a tangle that I take everywhere with me and usually I end up breaking them because I play with them so much - but this one is doing really well - though all its design has rubbed off . . .
I have a fan with lights in it (someone was talking about these the other day on here) and a ball with nubbies on the outside and sand like stuff on the inside that flashes when you bang it against something . . .
I also have some little bits of fabric I've made from yarn that I particularly like to carry around . . . they are great discrete stims because they fit in my pocket well . . .
Oh - and then at Wal-Mart the other day I found this curly ribbon that is all put together into a group like to put on a package - only this is silver and it reflects off the back of the other ribbons and it is so cool! If it were much bigger I think it would be overwhelming, but as it is it is perfect . . . I had to buy it because it so transfixed me in the store that people were staring at me . . .
Then there are all my stuffed animals of various textures and colors . . .
I also have some pumpkin spice oil right now, too . . .

My body is my stim toy!!!I like to massage my neck,forhead and hands(feet at home)this seems socially exceptable because I can just say I have a headache(ussually true)or my hands or neck are sore..also true.I would like to get a nubby ball that I can use to massage between both hands but I know I will just lose it ...may have to get about 10 of them and hide them around my house and car.

I dont like any flashing lights.....gives me headaches and lose my train of thoughts...I think thats annoying

I wasnt being totaly honest...I also use my nipples alot if I am alone or somewhere I can be descrete about it...like whe I could hnch over in my desk at school....I dont hink anyone ever noticed?

i have different colored crystals that i hold in the palm of my hand and rub with my fingers and if i have two of them click clack them together.

I keep an old Bic lighter (no fluid left) in my pocket and flick it endlessly. It's pretty discrete, unless it's very quiet.

When I'm at home, I have this old toy car that I still play with... I keep meaning to find some sandpaper to scrape off the old, worn paint on it, and re-paint it myself...
When I'm at college, I destroy pens. And doodle.... alot.
When I'm out, I always keep taking my glasses off and cleaning them, or I fiddle with my watch, and that seems to do.

clicking pens.

spinning chairs.

i chew on the chords on my laptop and headphones and other elecrical chords nearby sometimes. It is hard to quit but i have been trying to quit for a while..

i like hitting the notes on pianos and keyboards. i never learned to play but i like the sounds they make.

My Watch its one that you have to move to keep wound and I take it off and shake it or shake my wrist and If anyone asks I am charging my watch (true). I did not even think of it as a stim in till this post .

Watch, glasses, fingernails, tinnitus maskers, hair, electrical chords (I love chewing on the phone chord when I'm listening to the other person) pens, belts ... pretty much anything nearby

I carry two oblong shaped magnets all the time the are very polished and very stong for permanent magnets. (do not get them near a monitor or you will mess it up)
I got them in the cheap toys section at walmart I think the are called sizzlers.
I use to carry Tangles jr but after I destroyed the third or fourth one I gave up on them. I like small heavy smooth objects the smoother and the heavier the better. If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them.

When I get caught with one of my toys I just claim with a serious look that it is a meditation thing or a figit and that either stops the questions or the person ask me to get them one too. If they only knew.

Has anyone lost their toy and Had to( I mean 4am drive twenty miles to get it ) replace it immediatly or no sleep ? I am like that if I lose one I have to have a replacement or else, that is why when I find one I love I get several of them at once.

I used to carry this really great leatherman brand mini swiss army knife thing.

The main thing it did was fold out into mini pliers/wire clippers... I'd fold it out and clamp the plier over and over. Also it had many other foldie out things which were great. I'd bend out the nail file, knife or screwdriver and mess with it...

I kept it on my keychain, so that was my plausible deniablity right there. It did have a small knife on it too, and because of that, anywhere I would go it kept getting confiscated... ; ; I mean everywhere: Six flags, disney world.... Anytime they wanted to take it, I felt the urge to prove it was worthless as a knife by taking it to my skin, but that thing was pretty sharp.

Grrr... I hate it when "the man" takes my toys.
I could understand if I was carring a bowie knife... but come on, that thing wasn't even an inch long! This thing in question was smaller than most of my keys!

My fingernails, this "Squoosh" bean-bag pillow thingy, the computer's keyboard, etc.

I find a that clip on Nikon camara lens cap to be a ideal stim. I then just squeeze the clips in and out and it stores flat in my pocket and nobody knows.

I tend to stim with the objects around me, like a phone cord, or folding up squares of paper, anything that keeps my hands busy really. I also like clicking pens or pen lid on and off. As i'm a writer i use pens alot and when i go to writing classes and stuff ( which i do once a week) i spend most of the session clicking my pen, must drive the other people mad. I don't really carry anything with me, that i can think of, i just use whats to hand.
