#i know stimtastic doesnt know whats going on to orders outside of the us

[taddeusthefrog]

Tad and AJ, do you know anyone who sells inexpensive stim toys and jewelry like Stimtastic?

AJ: This post got to be VERY long, so it's going under a cut and it's organized with the following headers: chew jewelry, spinner rings / pendants, and other (misc jewelry that doesnt really fit a category).

I only know of specialty shops for chew jewelry, so I focused on that a bit. For others the main sources are Amazon and Etsy, because stuff like spinner pendants meant for fidgeting really only come handmade. I'm not sure how many of the Etsy stores ship outside of the US/what shipping costs would look like internationally.

Chew Jewelry

I know ARK Therapeutic is pretty reputable; their stuff can be a little pricey but they are a company that specializes in sensory needs and improving motor skills.

Munchables is another brand that specializes in sensory needs, and their stuff seems to be a little cheaper than ARK's. They even have a clearance section on their site! If you order from their site, they only ship to the US and Canada, but they are also on Amazon. You can order through Amazon for international shipping I believe? But the prices do seem a bit more expensive on Amazon than on their site.

I think the cheapest deals are, I hate to say it, on Amazon. Be careful when searching and always check the brand's homepage to see what other kinds of products their online store carries. Here are some shops I found that appear to sell primarily chews.

Maberry Tech Direct

GNAWRISHING (couldn't find a brand homepage for them, but most of the products that come up when you search Gnawrishing are chew jewelry)

Buying from ARK or Munchables means you probably get more detailed information, like how tough the silicone is depending on how aggressive of a chewer you are. Buying from Amazon or Etsy shops means less detailed information. It probably doesn't matter if you're a lighter chewer though, because extra tough silicone chews are probably more niche.

Here are some Etsy stores that make beaded necklaces if you want something more modern, unique, or just to support a small business.

necklactic (they have pride themed options!)

StimmyShakeShop (more pride options and some kpop and adventure time themed necklaces)

ChewsMe (TONS of options, including supplies for building your own! very cheap as well)

Lo & Co Studios (more modern / discreet stuff. Aimed at parents of teething babies but let's be real. It's stim jewelry. Also a little pricey)

Spinner Rings / Pendants

Amazon:

nylry/Umlry (again no homepage. These rings are very cheap, but also very loud according to reviews. I think this ring is particularly interesting)

Jystyle Jewelry (seems to have better reviews, also way easier to navigate and find options. Not much more expensive than nylry)

Etsy:

neurodelightful (has some pendants, a lot of mobii fidgets and some other fidgety things too! pride options available, also seems to support #RedInstead, which is good!)

CraftsByAnnaLee (lots of options for spinner pendants)

Other

Amazon:

This necklace which seems to function similar to a tangle

Spiral hair ties (can be worn as bracelet) (pretty cheap, comes in some neutral colors. Couldn't find any that are definitely safe for chewing, unfortunately.)

Spiral necklace (made for chewing) (same thing as above but safe for chewing. Unfortunately only comes in neon primary colors. Seems kind of expensive but it is a 4 pack)

Zipper braclets (these bracelets are 7.5 inches in length. I measured my wrist and that would technically fit my wrist with a little room to spare. May not fit if you have large wrists, but they do advertise that you can connect multiple zipper bracelets together. Also, their store seems to sell stretchy fidgets too, and is promoing some halloween based fidgets right now!)

A bike chain bracelet (probably heavy, probably good if you like weighted things)

Etsy:

This interesting fidget bracelet by MerakiSphere (kind of expensive but I haven't been able to find anything similar)

MinniMaggie (store that sells cuffs with flip sequins and other sensory effects, including this interesting fabric picking one which could be good for people with trichotillomania or dermatillomania.)
