Title: Any comments on 'A new method of stress relief'
Post by: simonw on November 15, 2012, 10:12:35 AM
Hi I am a design student,

I have set out the aim to try and design something that can help distract or de stress somebody who self harms.

The product I have at the moment is credit card sized and current features are:

What I would like from you is:

The best way to understand it is to see it, so please have a look,

Just a question really, does it survive being thrown?

Possibly some kind of 'positive message' or a list of free simple distractions to use in addition to it.

Also where will this be available!?!

I think this is a fantastic idea! Im not understanding the biting bit, but ive never done that so thatll be why it doesnt appeal to me. I like the roller ball/click part though, and the fact it flexes. I think i respond more to the click part of it. I used to keep an Oasis drink bottle cap because it clicked, and it was good to fiddle with.

Keep up the research, fantastic to have ideas like this floating around!!

I love it.
I find sensory products very distracting, also like that it can survive biting!! I'd like that its bumpy on the outside to. I have a textured tangle that I love. I like the ball in The corner, because that will be cold, and 'grounding' I guess. :) different colours would be cool to, tho I love the colour green. :)

Hope this is what your looking for.... I want one.  eek

Could it write on skin? That's what I find most helpful.
