Bought them to hopefully stop skin picking around my nails (as you can see, my thumb is red raw) and I’m extremely impressed. They provide a very satisfying sensation with the perfect amount of discomfort, and rolling them creates a similar movement to picking which satisfies the compulsion. My cat also approves of the products - she pulled the free gift straight out of the box and has been carrying it in her mouth everywhere she goes. So a big thank you from the both of us!
