Do you use "Sensory Toys"?

[Aspie_With_Attitude]

Do you use sensory toys to relax, self regulate or just for purposes of stimming?

What kind of sensory toys do you use?

How do you use the sensory toys?

I love the squishy worm! Lol
I usually use bubble wrap actually! But I really like anything squishy too.
Your video is great!!

I use a stretchy noodle that's tied to my car keys. It helps me fidget without causing discomfort to my fingers or wrist, which I would fidget with otherwise.

No not really.
I have a set of prayer/fidget/worry beads in my pocket but rarely use them

I don't recall any outside of early childhood.

Looking to get some chew toys, would buy dog chew toys for myself.
At the moment pencils, highlighters, etc do not last very long

I have several ball chain fidget toys & a couple of small metal locking connectors (don’t know what they’re called) in my pocket. They’re like tiny double carabiners with 2 locking gates. Fun.

It’s not exactly in the stim toy category, but organizing supplies, preparing and cooking food is definitely a calming, steadying stim for me.

I have tried a few but they can be costly. I tried the fidget spinner I got bored with it fast. I also have tried the cube but it’s boring to me. I also tried the pop it thing but it’s only good one way, it’s harder to push it the other way.. so I don’t see the point.
I do love liquid timers, if that counts as a “toy”. In 2000 mum bought a black one and a red one. They were tall. They looked near identical to this without the light. Lighted Liquid Timer relieves stress - Order from PlayopolisToys Might still have them but they don’t last long anymore I think the liquid must’ve dried. I do have one mum picked up years ago but it lasts about 20 seconds and then stops.
In 2000 mum also got this Aquarium Liquid Timer |
Which may still be around but it doesn’t work well.

in 2011 I got one like this one
Blue Wheel Slide Liquid Timer |
which is somewhere around

I have this penguin one somewhere

I love the orb bubbleez. Have two I think. I have a tangle too which is ok.

My dream is to own more liquid timers and a mugen puchipuchi

I am a teeth grinder and it ruined my teeth so now I grind my dentures. Does that count as a chew toy?

I have a spinner ring that I love and I have a fidger spinner with poppits on the blades. I love that one. It's small enough for my pocket and the poppits pop back and forth nicely. I really just wanted a single pop poppit but no one makes one.
My kazoo is also very satisfying but no one else ever agrees.

I actually use fashion dolls as sensory toys on occasion. It’s mostly the hair but also sometimes the fabrics of the clothing. I like styling the hair and sometimes it feels really soft and I keep touching it.

I use things i randomly find (this can be anything things like a pen or soft rock) , my one blanket and i chew a lot on my lips.
