Everytime u talk about the sensory problem i feel so relieved im not the only one. I cant touch sand, flour, some fabrics, clay that drys on my hand and cotton balls, it makes me feel so bad and i always thought it was just me till i found your channel a few months ago. I love your videos aswell! ❤

What a nice comment 😊 Not everyone understands sensory issues

Those things are sooo weirdly satisfying. I used to work at an alternative store that sold them as an impulse buy. It was crazy how people would levitate toward them and poke the hell out of them. Thanks for posting and allow me to relive/ live vicariously. I still feel the smoosh and my brain is pleased. Lol

The original noodlies last quite a while. A friend of mine is a therapist and she loves the noodlies so much.

Creamy is my "moist"...ugh. There's probably starch or something similar on the ramen noodlies to keep them from sticking to each other. If they are silicone then lotion made with petrolatum or mineral oil may cause them to break down faster. You could moisten your hands or wipe them on a damp paper towel to remove some of the powder residue. I can't stand to have my hands really dry either. That "can't breathe" feeling is a sharp spike in anxiety. Even on my meds I get the feeling when my hands get really dry or my lips get chapped. A few deep breaths helps, but until I moisturize the feeling doesn't completely go away.

@@NexJen Haha, it's ok. I can handle it. I've gotten much better with dealing with my triggers. It takes a lot of work though! I have fibromyalgia which is a pain/nerve hypersensitivity disorder, but recently I've been wondering if I have inattentive type ADHD as well. I'm going to ask my psychiatrist about it. People with fibromyalgia often have difficulty with textures when touching things and eating things though. At least all the ones I've talked to do, myself included.

The noodles probably have a bit of powder on them to keep the strings from sticking together when they're made and shipped. You might be able to rinse them off.

The ones that squish with stuff in them make me very nervous! Always afraid they will burst. The banana leak gave me pimple-popping vibes lol loved that!!!

These colours make me so happy! I wish they made ones filled with water beads rather than cream, I have a collection of stress balls filled with orbeez (or similar) because I love the feeling of them, I'd LOVE neon ones! (My favourite ones look like watermelons and are filled with red beads with a few black ones to look like seeds. They're amazing.)

Feel like I haven't watched your channel in a while, so it's good to see you posting again! Hope you're doing well!

Thanks for the cleaning tip! I got this little orbeez-filled octopus thing from a gacha machine somewhat recently, and it basically got dirty the moment I took it out of the package. It looks so much better now that I've dunked it in warm water!

The packaging is giving me 1960s mod. I love it! 💗

I was actually looking for some things to squeeze due to stress! Thanks for the review, Jen! I think you should give Cats vs Pickles a try. They're fun and squishy and have helped with my anxiety a lot. They're loved by children and adults alike! And they're not sticky, a plus because I hate when sticky balls get dirty.

The creator of that squishy cat probably watched Helpful Vancouver's Vet KZread video and got the idea from there. 😁 So cute!

This is perfect timing, I was looking at these but other reviews felt more like advertising, thank you for doing a thorough review. Also I tend to wash all of these type of fidget toys, idk about the science of if they will degrade faster but I hate the powdery stuff they are coated with. Then I keep them in sandwich bags in my sensory box to prevent them from getting stuck to each other.

Maybe if you rinse the noodlies they might not feel so dry?

They describe their toys like lush describes bath bombs XD

I love your descriptions, especially for sensory things as we can't touch it ourselves. Would be awesome to have more sensory toy reviews or even DIYs 😊

I would have gone bonkers over that set. They are all so cool

The pink glittery, crystal one may have an oil based liquid inside, which would explain why it's not as stretchy for the way they make these.

Could you do more fidget toy reviews? Things like the popits and monkey noodles and anything else you think makes good fidget toys?

I forget about this channel but I'm glad I found it again!

I love these things, they get sticky after a long time so they need to be powdered after about a month. But they are my favorite

My daughter just got a color change ball! It has such great texture!

I had a cat needoh and I loved it!!!

Litteraly when I was watching this i grabed my colour change needooh🤣

I also don't like to touch certain materials or the "dry" feeling on my hands. Always thought it was in my head, but it's nice to know many others have the same sensory issue. As ALWAYS, loved the video !💕

the way you described your reaction to some textures making you feel like you can't breathe, I'm the same way! microfiber towels are the worst. i used to work at a laundromat where we did a wash dry fold service and all of my coworkers knew i couldn't handle microfiber lol

Omg my husband and I have that same one too. I talked about it in a video where I made weighted lap pads.

That strawberry is like in the line of being gross with all those seeds and all.... But other than that, these look so cool! Wish I could buy them in stores where I'm from, sigh

Glad to see that being disgusted by textures is more common than I thought. I get goosebumps and a feeling of disgust when my hands move over fabric or when I just hear the sound of something moving over fabric. No idea why though. Had this since I was a kid.

These kind of fidget tools give me so much anxiety because I'm always terrified they're going to pop. Those Noodlies and Noodles look interesting though, I will have to try and find some.

I was so happy to find a new fidget video from you Jen! These are my favorites. If you ever decide to cover Tangles, I can guarantee I'd watch it many, many times.

Thank you so much for this video

I love that you are totally comfortable sharing your quirks. I personally gag every time I see dryer lint. Icky! Née doh looks super cool! Disappointing on the quality control but still cool and affordable 😁

The big noodlies look like they would be my fav! Too bad about the banana :( I am sure someone would still have fun squishing out all the insides though😄

I love the noodlies. I use them all the time~

So that's what the inside of them loom like. My nieces got some of the cheap balls the other day and I started messing around with them.

All I can think of when I see these is how when i was working at a store that sold them, people would ALWAYS pull it out of the windows, play with it and leave it somewhere it didn't belong for me to find later... 😡

ahhh this was awesome, I had always wondered about the other needoh products. I myself have the snowball crunch(my favourite) and bubble glob, both seem very different from any of the ones you tried. Now I kinda want to get a regular needoh to compare...

The sound effects at the end! 🤣🤣

Am I the only person that JUST found Jens other channel? It was in my recommended videos list and I'm so mad that I never knew she had more videos.

I just realized that 'it's neat' totally could have been 'Nee-Doh, it's Neat-o.'

if you wanna fix the hole in the swirl one, then just fill the whole hole (:P) with some high grade glue, that might fix it. oh, also you can put a little glue on the bannana's hole too, glue is very handy to fix stuff.

Oh my gosh, these are amazing!

😱 the mini kneedos are like Globbles!!

Such a fun video I haven’t tried any of these products before but now I want to

This video was very fun and relaxing to watch. I hope to find these toys in my country

I am a fidget freak and I love love love needohs... I had a gumball but it popped and have a glow in the dark and a snowball now... I want the cats and groovy fruits but mastermind seems to be out always... oh and I have monkey noodles

I think the teenie ones feel thicker because they're the same outer skin as the regular needoh, just not stretched by filling. So they remain small and thick. I've seen these in one store at the mall in the past and thought they'd be cool, just wasn't willing to pay whatever the cost was at the time. You may be able to use silicone caulk (like for showers) to seal any holes, but that's an expensive solution if you don't already have some at home. Especially unfortunate since needoh is not a cheap product..

I got the fruit yesterday and my banana leaked too. 🥺 It felt so good to squeeze and pull, too. If you ever figure out a way to fix them, will you let us know? I'd love to fix mine.

You could probably put a drop of baby oil an your hands and work it through the Ramen Noodlies. I personally can't touch oily substances, but if you can stand it long enough that should help keep your hands from drying!

You're the only person I've ever heard of that has the same odd sensory thing as me. My worst things are egg cartons and unglazed ceramic like terracotta. Or those super thick and rough paper plates!

So nice,its gorgeousssss😮❤

My Nee Doh ball is the size of a melon and it's so much fun but you need two hands, definitely recommend!!

I’m the same with powder/flour! Anytime my parent and I buy fresh bread or pizza I have to hold the things with a napkin. I CANNOT stand the texture of flour in my hands, which sucks because I’d love to get into baking one day.

Catch me re-watching this because I got a job at a toy store and because I have ADHD and sensory issues I use a lot of fidgets so I’m not the go to for recommendations.

I like your videos much

maybe you could wash the noodlies in a gentle soapy water to see if it would help? since you mentioned it felt like something was put on them. and i would bet you're prolly right. they likely put some kind of powder on them to keep them from sticking _too badly_ to themselves/each other in the package. so maybe a little bath would fix the problem. just a thought.

I actually just saw NeeDoh starting to show up in shops here (UK is so slow in getting anything) so I was excited (but too broke at the time to get anything). This is maybe a kinda strange question but with the noodlies and ramen ones do they make a squeaking rubber on rubber type sound and feel squeaky? I recently got something similar off Amazon and they do that and while stretching them is fun they squeak against each other and against my hands and it grosses me out. Has that polystyrene-on-polystyrene effect which makes me want to gag. Also get the whole thing where your hands feeling wrong causes you to fee like you can't breathe, I get the same thing except for me it's when my hands feel too warm so I'm going to feel better once the weather is finally cold again!

My actual fave I have a lot

Are these strong? i tend to break this type of thing ... anxiety and fidgetty hands equals me destrying all these types of things. I had a stress ball a few years ago that had the same rubbery exterior and some gooey clay stuff inside... it did not last long until i had broken it and goo went everywhere... Never seen the Nee Doh ones though... now going to see if i can find them in Australia!
