I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.

My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time, at home or whilst I'm out, And I love that it's discreet and quiet.

What's your favorite fidget toy, or thing yiu like to fidget/stim with? (Crossposted from ADHD community)

Honestly I really like things that click and scroll.

But I have found that I'm more fond of things that I can "solve" by muscle memory. I have a lot of those little nail puzzles where they fit together and have to be oriented a certain way to come apart and I love those.

I’m not sure what they are called but the spiky sensory finger rings are my go to for if I have to be out in public. They are subtle enough that people don’t seem to really notice and don’t get really get a lot of attention for it.

At home I’m a big fan of all the squishy gel cubes and things like that. I have a whole bunch of them at various firmnesses at textures. They unfortunately like to break so I go through them quicker than I’d like.

Buddy of mine has two 3D printed spiral cone type things that perfectly twist together into one whole cone. Been meaning to get him to get me one from wherever he got his made. That thing never leaves my hand if I pick it up at his place.

The cap of my teddy bear. I've been doing that since forever to such an extend, that we had to replace the cap and might have to again some time soonish.

Modeling clay's a pretty good fidget as far as something to squish around goes, plus it's fun to make art with in the process.
