Fidget Bracelet

Is there such a thing as an anxiety bracelet?

Put simply, yes!

They may be marketed under different names, such as fidget bracelets or Pop It bracelets. Either way, they all serve the same purpose of stress relief.

It can be argued that bracelets have always been used as coping mechanisms for anxiety, but in the last decade or so, they have been designed specifically to be fidgeted with.

There is no uniform rule of what anxiety bracelets should look like, but they typically have charms and other small moving mechanisms implemented into them.

Our 555 Angel Number Pendant Necklace will help you feel comforted during times of stress.

What are Pop It bracelets?

Not only are fidget bracelets good for stress relief, but they are fun to play with absentmindedly.

Pop It bracelets were named after their characteristic silicone design influenced by bubble wrap. The satisfying 'pop!' is something a lot of us find enjoyable, so these bracelets created an unlimited, portable experience to mimic it.

Those struggling with autism can also greatly benefit from wearing a Pop It bracelet. The sensation of popping the silicone in and out stimulates a part of the brain that relaxes and grounds people in the midst of a meltdown or anxiety attack.

Are Pop It bracelets safe?

Pop It bracelets are targeted toward all ages, particularly children, as the material is soft, malleable, and doesn't pose a choking hazard like bracelets aimed at adults.

What's more, there's no small clasp to struggle with each time you want to take it on and off, which removes the risk of it falling off.

They are made from BPA-free silicone that is tested for safety and is gentle on the skin. So, if you're having a particularly bad day and need the bracelet on for a long time, there's no risk of a rash or allergic reaction.

How do anxiety bracelets work?

When anxiety begins to bubble up and cause unpleasant emotions, it's the brain scrambling, trying to protect itself from 'dangerous' situations, but in doing so, only causing more problems.

To break the downward spiral, having something to fidget with puts you back in the moment instead of being stuck in a 'what if' scenario.

Also, it's comforting to have something to do with your hands. Perhaps you're in a social setting that's out of your comfort zone or are doing a presentation for work; having that preoccupation can make all the difference.

Even if you don't particularly need it, just knowing it's there, on your wrist, at all times, is enough to ease the mind.

Do magnetic bracelets help anxiety?

Did you know magnets can help individuals experiencing aches and pains?

That's not all, it's said that magnetic therapy can help relieve anxiety due to influencing the body's electromagnetic fields and balance energy levels.

However, there is still plenty of research needed to scientifically back these claims, but it doesn't take from the fact that whether it be placebo or something deeper, magnetics may be exactly what you need.

If effective, wearing a magnetic bracelet provides you relief at all hours of the day, but it should never replace anxiety treatment from healthcare professionals.

How do you make a fidget bead bracelet?

Beads make for the perfect fidgeting material, so putting them all together on a charming bracelet only makes sense.

To make your own fidget bead bracelet, all you'll need is an elastic cord to the length of your choice, beads, and scissors.

String the beads onto the elastic. You can follow a fun pattern or use subdued colours, whatever you prefer.

Next, tie the elastic cord securely on your wrist but not too loose to fall off. Finally, take the scissors and cut the excess cord.
