Thread Pick ‘Em Stack - 3 Picking & Hair Pulling Supports

Our Thread Pick ‘Em Stack is designed as a support for those that delight in 'extraction' & and/or struggle with picking & pulling hair out. Can also be a support for those struggling with trichotillomania. 

Most are surprised at how long & satisfying the 'extraction process' of pulling out the fibres actually is!   We have intentionally designed their size as a small, portable tool for anywhere use. 

The immersive experience involves focus, digging, resistance, satisfaction & (personally speaking) sheer delight.  Warning: can be hard to stop once starting grin.  See videos of it in action also. Hands get a good work out, so helpful to rest from time to time.  Great for mindfulness, regulation and calming. 

Typically used in conjunction with tweezers. The Silicone, even after items removed, makes for a great sensory stim tool.  

Not so keen that our Pick 'Ems are not re-meltable?  We hear you!  Our Put 'Em Clear Putty (available separately) allows you to use the contents picked out of the Pick 'Ems over and over again, creating ongoing & sustainable support.  Does not feel exactly the same, however for most, definitely still satisfying!  See the important reason why we won't use remeltable silicone below.  

"I received my package only 10 minutes ago and I already know it's the most therapeutic $50 I've ever spent on myself. I really struggle with picking and it's such a hard thing to describe, but the picking kit mimics the feeling I obsess over so perfectly. The tugging of the nylon genuinely feels so real but I'm not harming my own body and I don't have to feel the guilt. I'm confident that this kit will help me eventually stop picking altogether and I feel validated that this product wouldn't exist if I was the only person experiencing this. Thank you Kaiko!!

"These have been wonderful for my child with Trichotillomania and has diverted them from pulling hairs.  Frankie 2025"

Amazing! I have dermotillomania (skin picking) and really enjoy pulling the little threads out of the silicone. The rocks are also a little tougher (I've been using my hands) but equally as satisfying! Marlene 2025

"These took more time to pick out but that was good. Overall excellent 👌 Caitlin 2025" 

"Just wanted to send a quick message to say your fidgets are life-changing, thank you for making amazing, affordable harm minimisation tools. I am especially pleased with the thread puller  March 2025"

"The fishing cord is perfection. But there is also something so satisfying slowly working out  large pebbles with my fingers. Absolutely in love with this company, especially the pick em range. So useful and great quality. Only complaint is there’s almost too good, it’s hard not to order more! 🤣 Bec 2025"

"Loved these products!! Super helpful for trichotillomania.  Madison 2025" 

"This is like meth*done for trichers 😊 The harm reduction approach. A good invention. Kara" 

"These are a great resource for people that struggle with Trichotillomania, but also for ASD fidgeting as well. Brittany March 2025"

This stack comes with 3 discs - each with different threads & levels of ‘pull’.

Disc 1 :    2 fibres in 1 – both polyester thread & Japanese fishing line.  

Designed to mimic pulling out hair.  The two materials give different levels of 'tug' or  resistance when extracted.  The polyester thread can fray and break) in the process, adding to the 'surgical like' procedure of getting it ALL out.  The nylon fishing line feels like pulling an ingrown hair out.  rubbing along the sides you can often feel the ends of the nylon, quite like hairs on a chin lol.  

Disc 2 :  vibrant rainbow polyester cord.  Great resistance as you pull out & leaves the most noticeable 'hole' on removal.   

Disc 3 :  fine nail art thread fibres that provide less resistance but more challenge as you try dig and pull out. They are partial to breaking, creating opportunity for more digging and effort.   

Each of the silicone discs contain items with purpose in mind. In addition to being pure JOY for many, there is a more serious side to this genuine sensory seeking behaviour.    Picking skin & hair pulling can be a form of stimming sometimes referred to as  body-focused repetitive behaviour & super common, especially for those, like me, that are neurodivergent. It can be a sensory self-regulation behaviour, stim or part of repetitive ‘loop’. It can lead to compromised skin, bald patches, risk of infection, scars, shame and distress.   It can also be a challenge to stop, even when harmful. Which is why we have a focus on having a range of tools to assist in supporting this sensory need. 

These are single use, however will likely surprise you as to how long they take to do. Our Put 'Em Putty is a great way to repurpose the fibres (or stones from out other variations) into the putty for foraging / continued pulling.  It doe not feel exactly the same, however, for most is still satisfying.  

Two reasons we elected to not use the reuseable silicone:

1. 1. it's colour resembles 'wee' (ick i know)
   2.  most importantly, for safety reasons - if over heated (length heated too long or due to variance in microwave) or heated too many times  it can catch on fire... We are not prepared to take that risk for anyone.   

Likely not to suit those that struggle with imperfection or sensory issues with holes, as once removed the threads & stones (the other refill stack available) leave holes.  Trypophobia is an aversion or repulsion to objects like honeycombs and sponges that have repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes.

We have a large range of Pick 'Ems and more on the way!
