Three times bigger than the store bought and quality! I used these to fill the weep holes at the bottom of my brick house where critters were coming inside! My handyman pointed it out and told me to use these type of pads since they don't rust. This scouring pad

allows water and air to circulate without mice and tree roaches, etc, coming into the wall, then into the attic or through the electric/light switch or under my baseboards into my home!

Anon, I am so sorry for making this one wait. I do try to answer things in order, but advisory posts and posts with safety concerns do tend to be answered out of order (also things I can do quickly if I have a few minutes between other things). Sadly, this means that my longer asks do tend to be pushed to the back a little, which isn’t fair or right, but it is what it is. I really appreciate your patience with me!

I think this is a cool question, personally, as someone who likes textured toys. (I like the asks that make me have to think and examine my own toys and what I like about them and why I like that.) It’s interesting because a lot of toys have texture, but they’re not really designed to be rough, so a little out-of-box thinking is required. With this one, too, I’m thinking about safe or safer items: wood chips/chip bark from the playground might be too splintery, as might wood offcuts (this one really depends on the type of wood), for stimmy-type handling.

I don’t have a lot of traditional stim toys for you. Many have texture, but most aren’t rough; I don’t think prickle balls and hedge creatures quite fit your brief, anon.

I’ve got a few ideas, though!

Last light, I was looking at a duck loofah/exfoliating sponge @ambiguouspieces​ gave me: plush sponge on the front, fabric loofah on the back. It’s slightly scratchy and rough to touch. Real loofah will be even rougher, so if you want something just for tactile stimming (touching and stroking) this should be ideal. I think they’re in every department store; these (sans duck) two sponges from K-Mart are pretty similar to mine (one, two, both $6 AUD).

This made me think about other rough sponges…

Bamboo Glass Dish Sponge: $3 AUD. I’ve handled this in store: it looks like it should be soft, but it’s rough and a little scratchy.

Scourer Sponge: $2 AUD for six. These are the sponges with a thick sponge base and a thin scourer side on top. Often yellow and green, here! I’m thinking of these as a rough-sided alternative to the make-up blending sponge: you can cut them into smaller pieces and easily keep one in a pocket, handbag, satchel, stim kit. Squishable and rough and easy to find!

(You can also buy these as just the scourer pad if you don’t want the squishable sponge part. Available on Woolworths for $0.70 AUD for six.)

Mesh Scourers: $1.99 AUD for five. Thinner sponges covered with a mesh bag. They’re not as scratchy as the scourer pads, but they have a good roughness. If you don’t quite like the scourer pad texture, I’d try this one for a good combination of sponginess and roughness.

This, of course, lead onto the next natural extension: steel scourers. They’re rough and can compress/be squished. You don’t want the steel wool scourers, as they’re harsher and contain dish soap; just the loose metal chain-like ones. Available on Woolworths for $0.89 AUD for three.

(All of these things will be available at your local dollar shop or department store, often for inexpensive prices. You don’t need brand-name items. Get whatever is cheapest.)

My next thought was tennis balls. You know how the ball nap (the soft-rough felty outer covering) is both soft but kind of rough all at once? Especially on the cheaper sort of tennis balls, like pet tennis balls? If you want a ball you can roll in your hands, something that doesn’t need a lot of explaining, this should work. K-Mart has several sorts from $2.50 AUD and up.

This, anon, was when I got to the random “running around my room touching things” stage. This one really isn’t portable, but wicker. As in baskets, chairs, sewing boxes. My laundry basket is made from cheap wicker and it is rough to touch in a really nice way. If you want to set up a safe stimmy-space corner, perhaps a wicker chair?

Next: towels. The cheap, low-thread-count kind. You want the cheapest towel you can find, the kind you ordinarily wouldn’t buy, so you might have to shop for this one offline. If you’re crafty and can sew a little, you can turn your rough, scratchy towel into pillows, a drawstring bag, even a weighted plush with the addition of a few button eyes. Or just cut it into portable-sized squares.

On the same theme, felt. Not the good felt you buy off the bolt at a fabric store; the nasty, cheap acrylic felt you buy in pre-cut pieces. Dollar store felt - stiff, rough to touch. It can be put to the same uses as your towel and it doesn’t fray. If you want a rough fabric, it’s hard to go past this for inexpensive.

If you like chewables and you want a rough pendant cord, ARK Therapeutic and Chewigem’s pendants both come with rough cord that our Mod Rainbow likened to a saw blade. You’ll want the Rugged cord ($3 AUD each), not the Soft cord, but I can confirm the Chewigem rugged cord is extremely rough to touch. You could even put a bead ring pendant on that same cord, if you’re not into chewing, and give yourself a take-everywhere rough-textured stim toy.

I was then buckling my splint back on and my fingers touched something rough: the Velcro straps. Why have we not discussed Velcro as a stim toy? Not only do you have two different textures (the rough hook and the soft loop side) but they make a great noise as you peel the two pieces apart. It’s epic stuff. I bet you already have something with velcro, anon, but if you don’t, I’ve seen Velcro (also sold as “hook and loop fastening”) in every craft and the sewing section of every dollar shop. There’s loads on eBay! You can fasten it to a toy (anything made from the rough towel or felt above) or just old each side of the strip and stick and peel it together over and over. Easy.

I hope this helps a little, even if the toys here aren’t quite conventional! If our lovely followers have any other awesome suggestions, please comment away. I’m sure there’s something obvious I have forgotten.

I am a long-stay guest in private accommodation and many times I have seen how the hosts hide the expenses that they are supposed to do. My complaint is about the scouring pads, cloths, toilet paper and garbage bags, which have to be in the apartment.

I think the way to fix it would be for airbnb to tell them how many garbage bags there must be. And if you need to tell them the size, too. Taking into account the number of people who rent it, of course. And take into account the number of months that you are going to be. And then, that they leave all that amount of scouring pads, cloths, toilet paper and garbage bags, so that we can verify it and that, through an automatic system of selecting clicking one of the options that give the questions of a survey sent automatically by airbnb after entry, airbnb know that everything is fine. Not only that. Lately I have come across scouring pads of the lowest quality. The cheapest. For someone who will be staying for several months, the quality of the scouring pad is important and not having to make so much effort to rub hard on the cheapest scouring pad they sold in the store. I don't like doing brand propaganda, but what if at least for long stays, a month or more, hosts were forced to put on scotch-brite scouring pads that have the yellow sponge on them? https://mercahigiene.com/estropajo-con-salvau-as-fibra-verde.html This is the second accommodation where I have to buy it. You are going to be more than a month and they leave you the cheapest or some old scouring pads.

During the 17th century, when North America was just starting to be settled by both non-magic and magic emigrants from Europe, the continent's wizarding community was small and fragmented. The absence of a centralized wizarding government meant that the North American wizarding community had no effective law enforcement mechanism. To fill this void, wizards and witches of many different nationalities banded together to form the Scourers, a mercenary group which acted as both vigilantes and bounty hunters, tracking down not only wanted criminals, but any person for whom a sufficient reward was offered. 

I was…not very impressed by History of Magic in North America.

As for the Scourers specifically, as I noted in those posts, I don’t really mind them, but it does bother me that they exist. Specifically because their existence as bounty hunters only makes sense if you assume North American wizards had no other system of law enforcement and/or that Europeans would not respect that law enforcement upon coming. Which clashes with the idea that wizarding cultures supposedly had a kinship and mutual respect.

Basically, the idea is cool, but it needed more elaboration. Say, if the Scourers had been sanctioned by the established authorities to counter the sudden influx of new wizards, and that abuse had resulted, it would be one thing. But as it is, it’s lacking.

Also it would be nice to know why no one did anything about the Scourers once they were there. It’s not like regular wizards were powerless, after all. That’s another issue with the Scourers being unsanctioned; if you were to deal with one, there’s not really any fallout for it, so why didn’t people fight back?

American magical historian Theophilus Abbot has identified several such families, each with a deep belief in magic and a great hatred of it. It may be partly due to the anti-magic beliefs and activities of the descendants of Scourer families that North American No-Majs often seem harder to fool and hoodwink on the subject of magic than many other populations. This has had far-reaching repercussions on the way the American wizarding community is governed.”
