#i saw some things that looked kinda good on etsy but they were expensive reclaimed wood ones 😔

[c-kiddo]

-beanie animals: these are fun because unlike a lot of squishy animals they have a semi realistic look to them,, just have a hedgehog or something. Feels kinda like a stress ball (the ones I’m talking about are on smythstoys but you can find them other places)

-sand slug: if you really want a slug but don’t like the noise they do just make sand filled ones, not the same fidget feeling but hey, slug

-your standard fidget cube was always my go to while I was in class, there’s a lot of sound making bits but none of them are too loud and it’s got silent buttons + a lil joystick too so (there’s a lot of variations like fidget pads and puzzle toys but I find fidget cubes the most reliable, others are sometimes clicky and weird)

-those popit things are popular for a reason, but if you get one get one that’s rubbery all over and not with the white frame because the white frame ones are louder

-if you want something slime-esque but less eugh, you could try kinetic sand or just straight up play doh would probably be the cleanest option. Also if the visual is part of it for you get a water snake,, all the goop none of the having it on your hands. Sometimes there’s fish in there

-maybe a spinner ring? They’re nice to just push back and forth and it doesn’t really make noise that way

-I’m realising as I look into my favourites that really your best options for noiseless and soft are gonna be various squishy animals, but also the pea pod one is recommended for compulsive skin pickers so definitely try it out!!

^_^ thank you for suggestions!! i forgot about spinner ring , i dont really like wearing rings but it remind me of fidget spinners which i think theres maybe one downstairs. and maybe will try get more used to my fidget cube, it just doesnt fit very comfy in my hand. also th problem with slime n stuff is it makes a mess and i am fussy about things getting on my hands snkss especially stuff leaving a residue. i think i realise now little soft toys is probably a good idea. jellycat sensational sardine is good to hold in my hand and makes good noise to rub my thumb over next to my ear :-3

[ID: an ask reading: oh I was typing that up and hit ask before i saw the warning.. RIP on the pea pod I wanted one too. End ID.]

sad times about th soybean pea-pod guy .. maybe will try one n see, because it does look kind of fun anyway and good if its helpful for skin picking !! ;w;
