Product description
These silicone finger protectors create a barrier over the fingertip while still allowing tactile input through the finger. Many people who experience body‑focused repetitive behaviours such as skin picking, cuticle picking, or dermatillomania find that covering the fingertips helps interrupt automatic picking patterns and protects the skin while it heals.
This sampler set includes 18 pieces across multiple styles and sizes so you can experiment and discover which options work best for your hands and sensory preferences.
What's Included
18 piece sampler pack:
• 10 fingertip protectors (5 sizes – 2 of each)
• 2 stretchy open finger sleeves
• 2 stretchy full finger protectors
• 2 XL stretchy finger or thumb protectors
• 2 clear finger protectors
NOTE: All items are available separately.
Finger picking behaviours can have many different drivers — sensory seeking, anxiety regulation, habit loops, or focus
behaviours. This sampler provides a range of simple barrier and compression options that may help reduce direct access to the skin while allowing normal hand movement.
The kit includes multiple styles and sizes so individuals can experiment and identify which options feel most comfortable and supportive.
Helpful Tips

When People Find These Most Helpful
Over the years we've noticed these tend to help most in three common situations where finger picking happens automatically.
Thinking Hands
Many people pick while their brain is focused on something else.
Examples include working at a computer, studying, reading, watching TV or scrolling.
Searching for Texture
Some people find their fingers scanning for rough skin, cuticles or small imperfections. Once something uneven is found, the picking loop begins.
Finger protectors create a barrier to the skin while still allowing tactile feedback so hands still receive sensory input without damaging the fingers.
Silicone protectors remove access to those trigger textures while replacing them with consistent tactile input.
Stress or Regulation Picking
For others, finger picking is connected to stress, anxiety or emotional regulation.
The pressure and tactile input from silicone sleeves can provide similar sensory feedback without damaging the skin.
These tools are not designed to stop urges completely. They help by:
• Creating a physical barrier betweenfingers and skin
• Acting as a pattern interrupter when picking starts automatically
• Allowing people to pick the protector instead of their skin
• Providing tactile feedback through the fingertip
