Me and nail biting.. been a struggle for years! Read here the tips how and which bite chains are effective for nail biting.
I’ve been a nail biter myself for years… To the point of bleeding, it started in toddlerhood, I was thumbing my fingers every night even while I slept. Right down to fissures on my thumbs… Now I know that this also had to do with tension and stimulus processing. And that many children do this. After the thumb period I started biting my nails and yes, again to process tension or stimuli and all impressions in a day… But I didn’t know what I could do about it.
Chewing chains for nail biting
Then I heard about chew chains and that you can chew/bite them as an alternative. The nail biting is very much reduced, but I need to be reminded sometimes… especially on the TV or exciting moments… But it works much better and smoother than in the beginning! And I was so excited that I can finally release my tension by using a chew chain in a safe way!
It is important that you occasionally remind the person who bites their nails that he or she can use the chewing chain! I myself change chew chains almost daily, every day I almost have a different bite need …
Bite chains that I use the most against nail biting
Chewing Chain Chewigem Boards
As a1st and I personally find this the most effective chewing jewelry, these are the chewigem boards. They feel very soft, a bit like the chewigel eternity chewing chain. The boards are also quite flexible and I sometimes use them to fidget. It is a longer chewing ornament, so you can chew it with your back molars. I myself usually chew to half in the front, this chew chain can also offer you to suck on (for thumb suckers). You have the chewigem boards in nice colors.
Bite Chain Chewigem Toggle Boards
The toggle boards from chewigem are of softness, length and flexible the same as the chewigem boards chewing chain. The nice and handy thing about these toggle boards is that you do not have to wear them as a chain, they come with a cord and you can hang it on a buttonhole, zipper, loop or pouch. Ideal for those who do not want or cannot wear a chew chain. I have this standard on my zipper of my sweater and backpack and I use it a lot!
Chewigem Eternity chewing chain
The chewigem eternity is definitely 1 of my favorites! As an adult, I can sometimes chew hard (especially at higher tensions). The eternity feels very soft (you have to try it yourself to know and feel how this chew chain feels!) the eternity is also a bit flexible, so you can fidget with it. I myself have these in 3 different colors. This chew chain is therefore definitely recommended for nail biters! The cord of your chewigem eternity comes in the same color as your chewigem eternity that you choose! And the cord feels silky smooth.
Bite chain Chewigem Raindrop
The chewigem raindrop is 1 of the chew chains I wear the most (after the eternity and the chewigem boards). The raindrop owes its name to its shape, it looks like a raindrop! The chewigem raindrop is flexible and can be chewed fairly firmly. I like to wear this chew chain. It doesn’t feel heavy and doesn’t get in the way easily when I bend over (which you sometimes have with heavier or larger chewing chains….) I have the chewigem raindrop in about 6 different colors! So my chew jewelry often matches the color of clothing I wear, so wearing a chew jewelry with style is certainly possible!
