TryMe Therapy Putty for Adults and Kids - Hand Equipment Occupational Tools - Hand Exercise Putty Physical Therapy Putty Kit

This is putty for hand therapy. Basically, you get some of it out and squeeze it in your hand like a stress ball. You can shape it and reshape it and reshape it and it always comes back and stays the same stiffness.

It comes in four different stiffnesses. I was confused originally because I didn't realize that “X-Soft” was actually stiffer than “Soft.” I was a little worried that it was so stiff until I realized that there, I wasn’t using the softest version. That's what I get for not reading the directions!

Otherwise, the putty is fantastic. I was a little concerned that the reddish orange putty would leave my hands reddish orange, but none of that happened. The color doesn't seem to transfer to my hand at all.

For my uses, this putty has turned out to be exactly what I needed.

As soon as I saw the picture of the container holding the 4 jars of putty, I knew exactly what they were for. I had seen and used them in physical therapy for the carpal tunnel I have in my wrist. I couldn't afford to pay for all the physical therapy the Dr. ordered for me so my time using the putty for my wrist had been cut short. I knew that I would benefit from using this putty for both the carpal tunnel and the arthritis in my hands, so I ordered the TryMe Therapy putty. The 3-ounce colorful putty comes in 4 different strengths, X-soft, soft, medium and firm. You should start with the softest and work your way up making sure you take your time and not rushing into the firm right away. I will be using the putty in one hand, using my fingers to stretch the putty into a circle like my physical therapist had shown me. This putty is great to have on hand for building up your hand strength or fine tuning your motor skills. I can recommend this is a product that will be useful.

This Physical Therapy Putty Kit comes with 4 different colors of putty. Each has a different tensile strength but I didn't notice much difference in squeezing the different colors I tried. They all come in individual containers within one larger container as showed in the picture. It is not sticky so I am not concerned if it touches fabric. It does feel a bit greasy but after i used it i rubber my bare hands together and they don't feel greasy at all. I do think this is a nice way to relax or calm anxiety as it can provide a good distraction to the world around us.

This therapy putty is great. I'm not sure what the therapy part is, but it's just plain fun to use and a great way to relax while exercising your hands. I'm a grown adult and thought this stuff was just for kids, but once I opened one up and started playing with it, I was hooked. It reminds me of silly putty, but with a thicker and more sturdy consistency. You can stretch it, shape it, roll it, and make all kinds of interesting designs, and then just mush it back into a ball and start all over again. The different colors correspond with different "thicknesses" . And they are all great. I hope it doesn't evaporate like silly putty, or I'll have to buy more.

I ordered this therapy putty for two reasons. First, I wanted to maintain and perhaps improve grip strength and finger dexterity as I grow older. Secondly, I wanted something to help me relax. This awesome putty helps me achieve both of those goals at the same time.
This putty comes in a sturdy plastic cylinder. Inside the cylinder are four plastic pots, each one holding a putty of a different color and strength. Yellow is extra soft, red is soft, green is medium and blue is firm. I think there is a small mistake on the insert that comes with these. It says that yellow has a tensile strength of 50% and red has a tensile strength of 30%. I think it should be the other way around.
I could immediately tell that using these would be both fun and deeply relaxing. But I was dubious about them strengthening my hands. Well, as I rolled, pulled, pinched squeezed and twisted, I could feel every muscle in my hands working. I also felt very calm, almost mesmerized by all the things I can do with this putty. I can use it to give my hands and fingers a workout, I can mindlessly form endless loops, or I can channel my creative side and form little sculptures.
This has a mild plastic type of smell, but it isn't at all offensive I only notice it if I get close and sniff. This putty is not at all greasy and doesn't stick to skin. It's very pliable and should last a long time if cared for. I put it back in the container when I'm done.
This is just so much fun to use that I know I will use it regularly. I can't imagine anyone not loving this.
