I have a bad habit of biting and picking my fingernails, especially when I am stressed or feel under pressure. So I found this old stress ball at home, must've been something one of the kids brought home from school. I started using it and squished it too hard and it popped so I got another one from the dollar store! I'd like to find one with a different less rubbery texture, but this one will do for now.

Yes, those balls are good, I have one to exercise my hands when they are sore.Valerie
They are good to use. I have one on my computer desk but hardly ever use it. Mostly because I forget it's even there. I don't bite my fingernails, but I do pick at them. They are usually a mess!
You popped it?!? That's A LOT of stress :-)
I don't think I've ever bitten my nails. It just seems like they'd taste really gross. I have played with stress balls though. They're pretty fun. I'm yet to actually play with one while stressed though.
we have one of those too !!!
I ravage my cuticles at times as well, and have taken up knitting while I watch tv and when commuting, my worst times for picking. Times of terrific stress I don't pick, but have beautiful nails. Whatever works!
I am not a nail biter, but my daughter is.
Oh Christine... you must be suffering to do that to the stress reliever!
What about a tennis ball or a dog's toy ball. They are smooth.
(My Grandmother used to dip our fingers in mustard when we were small if we bit our nails. She'd then wipe them but if you forgot and put your nails in your mouth you soon wiped them out again... yuk!)
Good luck :/
Hubby has a stress ball:))
Lol. I use the stress balls as a sensory toy for my kids. They love them.
You popped one? Stress can be difficult to deal with at times. It's a very cute stress ball, I hope it helps!
thanks for the suggestions Neesie!
well I pick at them too!
I often bite my nails, but more for boredom than stress
What a cute stress ball!
What a great idea!
