This has been life-changing.
By Elizabeth on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023
I know, I know. "Life-changing? A stuffed animal? This person must be insane." I mean, I am, but not for the reasons you think. See, I have trichotillomania. If you don't know, that's a rare mental disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair. I have not had eyebrows since I was twelve or eyelashes since I was eight. It's that bad. And nothing, absolutely NOTHING that I've tried has ever helped. Until now. I'm not going to lie and say it's stopped me from pulling entirely. I don't have enough money for the therapy THAT would cost. But this has immensely helped. Being able to grab this and pull at it when I'm under high stress has allowed me to, for short periods of time, actually let my lashes regrow. I had an eyelash fall in my eye last week. I haven't had an eyelash fall in my eye since I was TEN. The only thing stopping me from buying a hundred of these is my own financial situation. This satisfies the itch to pull like nothing ever has. It even has different pulling TEXTURES. I don't know if I can explain that to someone who doesn't pull their hair out regularly. Some threads are hard to pull. Some are easy to pull. And that MATTERS because that means I can get the satisfaction of doing it without harming my own body. And I get a reward for doing it too??? A little purple or pink or rainbow buddy that can sit on my bed and remind me how proud I am of myself that I spent two hours using my fingers or a pair of tweezers to free my new friend instead of covering my bed with my own hair??? This is AMAZING. AND, unlike literally every other trichotillomania fidget toy, IT COMES WITH A POUCH FOR EASY CLEANUP. And that pouch??? Makes ANOTHER new buddy!!! AND THAT BUDDY IS ANOTHER FIDGET TOY!!! (HONESTLY, that buddy makes for TWO great fidget toys because the texture of the hairs when you put your hand in the bag is ALSO amazing.) My ONLY note would be that I wish I could get a bigger one. They aren't quite the size that an adult can comfortably cuddle with, so they're more display pieces than anything else. But they're amazing, and I love them, and I want all of them. These plushies are literally a bigger deal to me than Squishmallows are, and if my comments on texture haven't already made it clear, that's saying a LOT.

Mom’s worst nightmare
By MarginOver39 on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2025
This toy is a mom’s worst nightmare. It is a stuffed animal that is designed to have its fur pulled out piece by piece. It made a huge mess and my kids did not think it was fun to pull the hairs out. It’s hard to do so it isn’t even satisfying. Do not recommend!
