thank you!!! and

ABBA IS FUCKING WHAT

just for some babes who may find them useful

1) This shit

Self-adhesive medical tape is one of my new favorite things. I wrap it around the tips of my fingers like a thimble type deal. It doesn’t stick to your skin but stays on your fingers; you can type with it on, and it’s imfuckingpossible to pick while wearing it. You can get a buttload for $12 on amazon here.

2) These fuckers

Look dumb? Heck yeah they do. I use them for mirrors, ‘cause we all know how tricky those are. They occupy both your hands, you can twist them into shapes like the 5-year-old you are, and if both your hands are playing with it, they aren’t skimming your face. You can buy three for $10 here.

3) Whatever the fuck these are

don’t even know what to call them tbh; my therapist gave them to me and I use them while at the computer. You roll them around on your fingers and the spikes sting ever so slightly so be careful if you regularly pick your fingers, but the sensation replaces the sensation you might expect from picking and keeps you aware of your hands so they don’t stray to your skin like the sneaky fuckers they are. You can get a pack of ten for $10 here.

Some boss ass bitches have offered some other fidget ideas/picking alternatives after seeing this post so here’s that update I’ve been saying I’d add since like last May lmao

4) Textreme Squishy Grips

Available for $0.25 here (along with some other baller fidgets). Squish squish motherfucker.

5) Pom Balls

Seven year old me just shat herself. Pull them, squeeze them, bounce them, whatever you want. Especially good for trichy babes since they replicate the sensation of pulling. Available for $5.00 here or probably on Amazon if you search “pom ball” or the like. 

6) Buzzing Stunt Magnets????? Apparently??????

Someone commented a link to them below the original post so if it helps at all I’m here for it as fuck. Had no idea that was what those things were called. Learning all types of shit today. 

7) Picking/Peeling Fruit/Anything With Seeds

One babe said peeling oranges was helpful, another suggested picking the seeds out of a pickle spear, the list goes on. I’m especially here for the orange idea because then you’ve got a healthy ass orange to eat after peeling it. *Throws Vitamin C at you* Shine, bitch!!

7) Acrylic Nails

This one a lot of y’all know well. Acrylic tips dull the sensation in your fingers especially when you’re skimming your skin and can make it harder to pick. Not gonna lie, the first time I got acrylics I had to relearn how to type. Also pretty as fuck like wow mama work it. HOWEVER: If, like myself, you are a certified Broke Ass Bitch, I would recommend cutting your nails all the way down as often as possible. This was a huge help to me because even if I picked I couldn’t do that much damage. 

Finally, a protip: A couple beauties have alerted me to the fact that Self-Adhesive Medical Tape is also called Vet Wrap! And is apparently much cheaper if you search that instead of Medical Tape!!!
