Gum for hands

Handgamy is a pretty popular thing. For those who still have not heard anything about them - there is Wikipedia . In short, a plastic material is gently creased when gently pressed, when strong it hardens, and at rest it spreads like liquid.

The habit of crushing various items with me since my childhood - only gadgets change. I have already lost the habit of turning mobiles in my hands: if you drop them, you will not collect them later. But in this case, the handgam fell into my hands for the sole purpose: to find out whether such a thing can be useful to someone who has a lot of time knocking on the keyboard and tearing at the mouse. For example, for the prevention of tunnel syndrome.

But let's leave the debate about the healing effect of a piece of plastic by a British scientist. Handgams are not appreciated for that. Sometimes you just want to wrinkle something in your hands ...

And under the cut - a review of this thing in the combat conditions of the home workplace.

First impressions


Handgum comes in a nice paper bag. Inside the bag there is a capsule, like the one into which the boot covers are wrapped in the clinic. But the capsule is curled and very large.



Together with the capsule with handgam in the package - two cards with instructions. On the first - a list of contraindications. The second card describes the main properties of the handgam (photo above).

Pull handgam out of this capsule turned out without much effort:



Now you need to understand whether this anti-stress toy calms the nerves, as stated on the website, and how it happens.

For the first couple of minutes the thought spun in my head: “Well, and why is this thing necessary?” Then I noticed that I had been doing nonsense for about half an hour, and I was absolutely calm. A wonderful toy in terms of calm, and a great time killing.




What benefits can be gained from using handgam?

I will not rewrite numerous reviews of handgams from the sites, but simply describe what I felt:

In the hands of this thing soothes and helps to kill time, at work - the best anti-stress;

It has a massage effect - it is quite pleasant to knead this thing;

replaces the expander - with strong compression;

but it can also serve as a hammer, although I haven’t checked it on nails - there is no place to drive in.

Very important: it makes sounds similar to the sounds from a pimply film :) This is the main component of the antistress effect, after, of course, massage of the hands. Very good massage, I note.

But can such a thing serve to prevent tunnel syndrome (which, as Wikipedia suggests, is correctly called carpal tunnel syndrome ) - I, frankly, cannot say. And in general, as the same Wiki writes, the widespread opinion about the connection of this disease with computer work ... is not confirmed by clinical studies .
