Frequently Asked Questions
- Does putty actually help with ADHD?
- Putty provides resistance-based sensory input that gives your hands something meaningful to do — the kind of proprioceptive engagement that helps many people with ADHD stay regulated without checking out entirely. Unlike light plastic fidgets that lose their appeal in a week, the push-and-pull of silicone keeps your hands occupied without requiring conscious attention. Our customers use Beast Putty during meetings, on calls, and while working to stay focused without distracting anyone around them. It won't replace your meds, but it might replace your destroyed pen caps.
- Will it dry out?
- No. Beast Putty is made from premium silicone — not the rubber-based stuff that hardens into a rock after a week in your desk drawer. Keep it in the jar when you're not using it and it stays exactly the same. Months later, same stretch, same resistance, same color shift.
- Is Beast Putty safe for use in Youngstown schools?
- Yes. Beast Putty is non-toxic, latex-free, and phthalate-free. Follow your school's policy on sensory tools in the classroom.
