Jackie, I would recommend having Sika test the chew fidgets for a proper review of them.

[@Just1Nora]

The first "fidget" ring is actually a mini Tibetan Buddhist prayer wheel ring. You're supposed to kind of use a circular motion to twirl the weighted ball around because ideally you would be meditating, chanting, or using prayer beads at the same time. The fact that it's sold as a fidget ring is fine. More prayers for all souls on the earth (not just humans). This particular one I believe says, "Om Mani Padme Hum" which is meant to bring enlightenment. Each rotation is supposed to equal a prayer said, so prayer wheels are kinda shortcuts to prayers as a number of Tibetan Buddhist prayers are a bit long and complicated, especially if you want to use the original Sanskrit and you're still learning it... 😊 I'm still in education, and there is a LOT to learn. I was surprised to learn that there's a Tibetan Buddhist temple about 25 minutes drive from me, even here in South Carolina! It's 22 acres! 😲

[@Jacieltje]

Jacky, I think the last ring (the golden Finger Squeezy one) was not so much intended as a fidget ring, but is an Ali Express knock-off of the Foldable Astronomical Sphere Rings you can get on Etsy and elsewhere. Note that one of the inner rings has the symbols of the starsigns on it! I think you could also still open it more for the extra layers that are also in those kind of rings, from what I saw of extra hinges when you toyed with it!

[@PinkAgaricus]

I remember having one of those from Griffith Observatory in LA. You can open those into a full ball...if it's what we're thinking it is.

[@samly9014]

Yeah

[@katieatchley6668]

The chewing toys are great for young children! I teach kindergarten and I have several students who use the chewing fidget toys:) it helps keep them focused and helps them not chew things they enjoy, like their cute fancy pencils.

[@lolymop333]

It's also good for some adults who tend to chew on everything else otherwise. And helps prevent teeth grinding.

[@jenupdike5140]

I have autism and instead of chewing I suck my thumb

[@SoupyGal]

I’m 24 and on the spectrum and I love chewing on things (especially plastic water bottle caps) also I love hard candy; I just love to chew.

[@jessmoonlight273]

I actually am a chewer, and thanks to Jackie i found some awesome fidget toys which are exactly what I need! I'm a chronic nail chewer, and I've been trying not to basically rip my fingernails down to where they are attached, but I never found anything that could compare. The only thing I found are the soft rubber tips on pens used for phones, but I destroy them in less than five minutes and having rubber pieces in my stomach is not really... Ideal. Imma try some of those chew toys, and see how it goes. Thanks Jackie!

[@alexisdowers2030]

That might explain why I bite my nails

[@JayofallTrades]

I used to chew on anything plastic like the end of pens and i saw one thing in Jackie's video a chew toy for the end of a pencil and even though she didn't like it i love them.

[@TheQueenOfSheba]

I didn’t even know there were fidgets for chewers! So I’ll be checking them out, I tend to go for my cuticles so yeah I want to stop.

[@ImthefkingChupa-ca-dupra]

[@Gennacyde]

I ended up getting the shark tooth chewy and it works great because I too have a bit of a gag reflex and it being shorter and thinner makes for a great experience.

[@JayofallTrades]

I think we need to call Jackie the new fidget queen as she finds all the great ones and bad ones (the pop it ball)

[@fexx5650]

Watching Jackie struggle to chew on a small piece of rubber but absolutely crush a massive bite of noodles is perplexing my brain 😂

[@HiImNotGem]

I agree

[@Cal42018]

It’s because the noodles have taste and putting a “random”(that’s how the brain interprets that) into your mouth makes you gag. I used to have that issue. Idk why it happens but it does

[@cacklebarnacle15]

There were actually two more seperations between the rings in the last toy. You could split the outer ring, making a horizontal line, keeping your fingers from getting smashed. And the inner ring could be divided as well. If you orient all the rings to get as equal distance as you can, you get an almost ball, you can roll around in your hands.

[@NWolfsson]

Sometimes, I think I have a medium-ish gag reflex... Jackie: *can't get anything halfway past her teeth to the point I'm wondering how she eats* ... You know what, I think I'm good.

Please tell me it's not just me that wonders how Jackie manages to eat with such a gag reflex?

[@koala-mama9162]

As someone who also has a very reactive gag reflex, I have gagged on food before. Usually it’s if I’ve taken too big of a bite, or encountered a texture I don’t like. I have a chewy necklace to try and keep from nail biting, but it’s too big for my reflex as well.

[@Rainielovealways]

@@koala-mama9162 That must be so difficult, cus gagging isn't any fun at all. I hope it's never made you physically sick though. Maybe get one of those shark fin chewy necklace things, maybe it would be easier? Yeah nail biting is a hard habit to stop, i used to bite my nails a long time ago, i don't anymore but i think it's made my nails weak.

[@jenniferhof9448]

You can absolutely fidget with your tongue. My husband had a really bad habit of chewing his fingers, so he got his tongue pierced. He fidgeted with that and it absolutely helped. He's since let it heal, but it did help for a while.

[@Hopischwopi]

The chewable toys could also be used for finger fidgeting. Like touching the textures or pressing your nails inside could be satisfying.

[@Horses4ever86]

I have some, you can't put your nails in them, they are not squishy at all, but still soft, just correcting you

[@Hopischwopi]

@@Horses4ever86 I have one too. Sure some may be hard but of course you can push your nail in? I like the hard rubbery texture & pushing my nail into that.

When i was still going college with my fibromyalgia i suffered from a really bad gag reflex, i would look at a random object and gag and i hated it. Since i left college my gag reflex got so much better but watching jackie gag every time she goes to chew that fidget toy makes me want to gag aswell as if im chewing it 😭 Thank you for trying it even though you knew it would make you feel sick jackie! After the first gag i would have thrown the thing 😂

Ancient grain here (from before the days of grains, actually!!). Love this series. I work as a disability advisor for children and their families, and have a neurodiverse kid of my own (who is also a mini grain!). The chewy fidgets are a HUGE hit. I got my daughter a few that looks like necklaces and it really helps. I must admit though, I am missing the crafty jackie. How about a craft that uses up bits of bad fidgets?

[@Zeldur]

Omg, I would have loved the chewing fidget toy as a kid. I chewed on everything from pencils, shirts, cords, pens, art supply, anything.

29:26 As someone who has got rings like this from Chinese ebay sellers, the "squeak" goes away after a while. You really just need to "break it in" and it'll stop squeaking and will become smoother to spin.

[@libraryoflilylol199]

I can't stand most chewies either. The only ones I can stand are the ones that are like phone cord shaped so I can just stick that between my teeth and not have it touch my lips or tongue that much. Also with the textured ones, I would not fidget with my tongue. I would scrape my teeth over it and feel the vibrations of it in my jaw.

[@rachelthompson7487]

I love the gummy bears ❤ also the rings are pretty neat.

[@TiBunCosplay]

"Is fidgeting with your tongue a thing?" Actually yes! I have a permanent retainer cemented to the back of my lower teeth and I find myself scraping my tongue against it in a fidget type way all the time. I never thought of it as fidgeting or whatever but when you asked that I realized that is a type of fidget I tend to do at times.

[@silversugar2140]

Ohmygosh! I never thought of this before but I did the same thing! Unfortunately my retainer broke and I couldn't afford to get it fixed so my teeth are borked again but I still catch myself flicking the spot where it was. I also have a groove in my teeth where they nicked it and made it sharp and I constantly have to fidget with it--to the point it's no longer sharp!

You know, that glitter bear looks suspiciously similar to a jelly bear gashapon set I've been collecting from Aliexpress. You can find the listing with this bunch of keywords: "Original Genuine capsule toys cute sugar sweet soda peach pink soft jelly bears clasp hands squeeze Stress Relief gashapon toys". They are semi-transparent with different colored beads, stars, hearts in them, and they have the usual cute black beady eyes, not the creepy O_O look like that poor galaxy bear. 😂 Not sure if the bear mold similarity is intentional or not, but it does look like the same for me.

Will it fall now? In ten minutes? In an hour? Everyone must watch and wait to find out. Those are my favorite fidget toys. You can play with them & then you have a storage for 'em, the ceiling!
