At Tink’n’Stink, we understand the struggles that come with sensory processing issues. Fidget toys are a great way to relieve stress and anxiety and to help focus on tasks. But, there is a growing concern over the safety of cheap, unbranded fidget toys. We think it’s important to recognise and explore the dangers of these toys and understand why it's always better to invest in a branded fidget toy.
Safety regulations
The biggest concern with unbranded fidget toys is the lack of safety regulations. These toys are often manufactured without any testing or quality control standards, meaning they may contain harmful chemicals or break apart easily, posing a choking hazard. This is a major concern for children and adults with autism, who may have a tendency to put objects in their mouths.
In contrast, branded fidget toys are designed with safety in mind. These toys are tested and adhere to strict safety regulations, ensuring they are safe for use. The materials used in branded fidget toys are also of higher quality, making them more durable and less likely to break apart.
They keep breaking
Another issue with cheaper fidget toys is the need for constant repurchasing. Cheaply-made toys often break easily, meaning you’ll have to buy new ones frequently. This can quickly become expensive and frustrating, especially if you rely on these toys to help with sensory processing issues.
On the other hand, branded fidget toys are designed to be long-lasting and durable. Many brands offer warranties or replacement policies, ensuring you get the most out of your investment. Investing in a high-quality fidget toy may seem like a significant expense initially, but it will save you money in the long run.
We only stock the real deal
At Tink’n’Stink, we stock a range of branded fidget toys from popular brands such as Tangle and Chewigem. These toys are designed with safety and effectiveness in mind and are perfect for individuals with autism who struggle with sensory processing issues. By purchasing from Tink’n’Stink, you can be confident that you’re getting a high-quality fidget toy that meets your needs.
The benefits of branded fidget toys don't stop at safety and longevity. These toys are also more effective than cheap imitations. Branded fidget toys are designed to provide the sensory input that individuals with Autism crave. They are often designed with specific textures, shapes, and movements that can be used to calm or stimulate the senses.
For example, Chewigem offers a range of chewable jewellery that is perfect for individuals who need oral stimulation. These toys are made with food-grade silicone and are designed to be safe for use. Tangle Creations offers a range of tactile toys that can be used to provide sensory input, such as the popular Tangle Jr. This is a great option for individuals who need something to fidget with as it can be twisted, turned, and manipulated in various ways.
More effective than the cheap ones
Investing in a branded fidget toy is not just about safety, it's also about effectiveness. These toys are designed to provide the sensory input that individuals with autism crave and can be used to help alleviate stress and anxiety, and improve focus.
Investing in a branded fidget toy is always the best option. These toys are designed with safety and effectiveness in mind, making them a worthwhile investment for anyone who needs them. Cheap, unbranded fidget toys are often made with poor-quality materials and can pose a significant safety risk.
Ethical considerations
Branded fidget toys are often produced by reputable companies that adhere to ethical and environmental standards. Poor quality fidget toys may be produced by companies that do not prioritise ethical or sustainable practices. These companies may use materials that are harmful to the environment or may engage in exploitative labour practices.
Whether you need a chewable toy, a tactile toy, or something to fidget with, Tink’n’Stink has a range of branded fidget toys that can help. We offer a range of brands that have been designed with individuals with Autism and other special needs in mind, ensuring that our toys are effective and safe to use.
