Vive Exercise Putty (4-Pack) - Therapeutic, Occupational and Therapy Tool - Thinking and Stress - Finger, Hand Grip Strength Exercises - Extra Soft, Soft, Medium, Firm Sensory Kit - Squeezable Ball

I recently discovered the incredible world of therapeutic putty (through my FSA account), and I must say, it has become an absolute game-changer in my daily routine. The variety of colors and strengths that this putty comes in makes it a versatile tool for anyone looking to improve their focus and alleviate stress.One of the standout features of this therapeutic putty is the vibrant array of colors it offers. Whether you prefer a calming blue or an energetic red, there's a shade to suit every mood. The spectrum of strengths is equally impressive, catering to different preferences and needs. From soft and pliable to firm and resistant, the putty accommodates a range of resistance levels for a customizable experience.What sets this therapeutic putty apart is its dual functionality as both a fidget and anxiety-relief aid. The tactile experience of manipulating the putty provides a satisfying sensory input, making it an excellent fidget tool. It's discreet enough to use during meetings or in public settings, helping to channel restless energy and maintain focus.As someone prone to anxiety, I've found the therapeutic putty to be an invaluable tool in my anxiety management toolkit. The rhythmic kneading and squeezing of the putty have a calming effect, creating a tangible connection between mind and body that promotes relaxation. It's become a staple in my daily self-care routine, offering a moment of reprieve in the midst of a hectic day.The putty's durability is worth mentioning; it withstands frequent use without losing its elasticity or texture. The compact, portable container makes it easy to carry in a pocket or purse, ensuring that relief is always within reach. Additionally, the non-toxic and latex-free composition adds to the appeal, making it suitable for users with sensitivities. I wholeheartedly recommend this therapeutic putty to those looking for a simple yet powerful tool to ease tension and promote well-being

I like the range of firmness levels and there’s no smell!

I bought this set to help strengthen my hands, which have grown very weak due to decades of carpal tunnel syndrome related mostly to office work. I chose this one because most kits only offer 4 levels of stiffness, while this one added extra soft and extra, extra soft - I knew I needed something VERY easy to start with. I've only had the kit for a few weeks, so time will tell about progress, but those two "extra" soft ones are where I do 90% of my work - I couldn't have started with the one labeled "soft." This putty is so satisfying - it came with instructions for various exercises, and I do them all, but also my hands just *want* to work the putty while I'm watching TV. It doesn't feel like work, it feels like play. I am careful not to allow it to contact clothing or pillows, based on some reviews I saw before I bought it. And it does seem to leave my hands maybe slightly oily? But not in an unpleasant way. Also last night my husband swore the medium one I was using smelled like Jack Daniels, so I don't know what to do with that. All that being said, I highly recommend the kit. Great product, especially for the low, low price.

I like that it does not dry out. My autistic daughter loves this stuff! Wish I knew abt it sooner. Wasted way to much $ on play dough that dries out after a few uses. A bit pricey but it's still soft after a month of daily use.

I use a computer mouse everyday and my hand does cramp up because of it. I purchased these and it definitely relieves some built up tension. They are a little difficult to get out of the container at first but overall worth the buy. I like how it shows some exercises I can use which is a huge plus.

Like this for exercising my hands.

So I bought this for myself, due to my tendency to pop squishie balls while I'm working (trust me - AuADHD working in management.. I am rough on fidget toys). I really like the different degrees of flexibility on these - the soft ones are great for random squeezing, while the medium-extra firm really give your hand a work-out). My son tried them and immediately took the soft, medium, and firm for himself. Definitely worth the money, will buy more! Excellent value and even better quality A+++++!

This is the brand recommended by my physical therapist. She had me do some exercises to help regain some muscle strength in my hands. She originally started me on the soft/GREEN color, which I did but I also used the x-soft/orange for one of the finger exercises. I'm on medium/BLUE now. In the office I noticed she had the firm/PURPLE on her desk that she uses for herself.Examples of exercises:1. Forming a ball then clenching the ball with fingers and palm.2. Forming an elongated ball and clenching that with fingers only.3. Pulling apart the putty with both hands4. Squishing the putty between my fingers.I would do this while watching TV or Youtube and sometimes my husband would steal it from me and sculpt things like Play-doh. The putty holds its form while you are working with it - it's not like Nickelodeon's Gak. When you're done using it, it takes on the shape of the container again - it's more fluid than Play-doh.The quality of the putty is nice. It hasn't dried out - I always put it away after doing my exercises. The colors are appealing. I would recommend washing your hands before use and making sure there isn't lint. I don't know how sweat would affect the material, but I did use the putty a few times on a hot day and it seems to be okay still.
