The sizing of the spikey is very personal. Many of those that have tried it and find it helpful end up getting a few sizes to use in different situations. The smaller the wrist spikey, the more sensory input it provides when rolled. if using it to roll then, irrespective of wrist size, the small is often the go to.

At first glance, it’s easy to assume sizing selection is best based on size of wrist or age of person using it. This is certainly one contributing factor, however over time its become clear that is isn't the only thing to consider.

Its so important especially with the wrist spikey to select best size for purpose.
The wrist spikey is used in used 2 main ways –

1. for high sensory input rolled up and down arm -The small & medium are great for strong input, but generally not comfortable to wear all day, more a 'use as required and then store away' size. The smaller, the more sensory input it provides when rolled.

2. for harm minimisation /high input when distressed (twisted and pressed into wrist buy other hand in the moment of need) – for this you want the product to be wearable and literally on hand as needed.

To wear it all day you want it to not band or create restriction. When using it in this way the size isn’t what delivers the high input, it’s the pressure on twisting that does. SO a comfortable wearing sizes is what you're best to select.

For very small wrists the large is good but for your average child to adult it’s the Large 'plus a bit' or the XL that is best. The XXL for larger/chunky wrists or for use on ankles.

So essentially - if twisting it around wrist the same amount of input can be achieved using any of the sizes. It is the pressure from the other hand that creates the degree of "ouch".

SMALL: 12.5cm length - super intense for adults or for tiny child wrists.

MEDIUM: 14.5cm length - this is a great size for intense input for adult wrists to use as needed, then take off.

LARGE: 17 cm length - For all day wear for younger children or for petite wrists.

Extra Large (XL): 20.5cm length for the XL - this often the best size for ALL DAY wear for most teens & adults.
