Putty is also a genuine,\n    OT-recommended redirection tool for picking\/pulling — the\n    link is functionally relevant, not just an SEO play\n  - Teen \u0026 Adult Fidgets (\/collections\/adult-fidgets) — 14 live\n    rankings, incl. \"adult fidget\" #1. This link already exists\n    in reverse: the adult-fidgets hero built earlier in this\n    session links INTO this page via its \"Picking \u0026 Hair Pulling\"\n    pill, so this closes the loop both ways\n  - Nee Doh (\/collections\/nee-doh) — \"nee doh\" alone is a\n    47,500\/mo search term, ranking #12 (page two) — the single\n    biggest internal-link opportunity of the four\n============================================================= --\u003e\n\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@500;600\u0026family=Roboto:wght@400;500\u0026display=swap');\n.tss{font-family:'Roboto',sans-serif;max-width:100%}\n.tss,.tss *{box-sizing:border-box;text-align:left !important}\n.tss-hero{background:linear-gradient(135deg,#e4e8fb 0%,#eef0fc 60%,#e6e2f8 100%);border-radius:14px;padding:24px 24px 22px;margin-bottom:12px;position:relative;overflow:hidden}\n.tss-hero:before{content:'';position:absolute;top:-40px;right:-40px;width:180px;height:180px;border-radius:50%;background:rgba(109,99,214,0.08);pointer-events:none}\n.tss-hero:after{content:'';position:absolute;bottom:-50px;right:80px;width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:50%;background:rgba(109,99,214,0.05);pointer-events:none}\n.tss-eyebrow{font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:10px;font-weight:600;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.14em;color:#6d63d6;margin-bottom:6px;display:block;position:relative;z-index:1}\n.tss-title{font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:22px;font-weight:600;color:#2a2d4a;line-height:1.25;margin-bottom:9px;position:relative;z-index:1}\n.tss-desc{font-size:13.5px;color:#4a5568;line-height:1.7;position:relative;z-index:1;margin-bottom:14px}\n.tss-trust{display:flex;gap:8px;flex-wrap:wrap;position:relative;z-index:1}\n.tss-ti{background:#f4f2fe;border:1px solid #ded8f7;border-radius:10px;padding:9px 13px;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:8px;flex:0 0 auto}\n.tss-dot{width:20px;height:20px;min-width:20px;border-radius:50%;background:#6d63d6;color:#fff;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;display:inline-flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;line-height:1}\n.tss-ttext{font-size:12px;color:#2a2d4a;font-weight:500;line-height:1.3;white-space:nowrap}\n.tss-qlabel{font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:10px;font-weight:600;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.14em;color:#6d63d6;margin:18px 0 9px;display:block}\n.tss-pills{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px}\n.tss-pill{font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;display:inline-block;padding:9px 18px;border-radius:999px;border:1.5px solid #ded8f7;background:#fff;color:#5a52c9;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none !important;transition:background .15s ease,color .15s ease,border-color .15s ease}\n.tss-pill:hover{background:#6d63d6;border-color:#6d63d6;color:#fff !important}\n@media(max-width:600px){\n  .tss-title{font-size:19px}\n  .tss-trust{flex-direction:column;gap:7px}\n  .tss-ti{width:100%}\n  .tss-ttext{white-space:normal}\n  .tss-hero{padding:18px 16px 18px}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tss\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tss-hero\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"tss-eyebrow\"\u003ePicking \u0026amp; Hair Pulling Support\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tss-title\"\u003eSomething to do with restless hands, instead of picking or pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tss-desc\"\u003eSensory tools chosen to help redirect trichotillomania (hair pulling) and dermatillomania (skin picking) toward something safer to touch, squeeze or fidget with.
