Gel Sensory Tubes

I’ve had two different kinds of pocket-size liquid-filled fidgets over the years that have both been discontinued. Both of those were over-priced “special needs” products, and, in an effort to increase durability, were not as squishy as I would have liked. I really like GooToobz, as well as the smaller Lesong version, but they’re too big for discrete fidgeting, and I’ve wanted a truly pocket-size version since those came out, so I was thrilled to find these. They’re a great size, and the keychain means I can clip them to a belt loop, purse, backpack, dog leash, etc. And with 12 toys in one $10 set, I have enough of them for all of those places and more. These are somewhat softer than the larger Lesong products, more like the original GooToobz, which I prefer for fidgeting. I assume this will mean less durability, but at under a dollar a piece, this is fine with me, and while the liquid is bright enough for visual appeal, looks diluted enough not to stain, and it’s a small enough volume I’m not overly worried about potential mess. I also really like that, whereas the set of 4 smaller fidgets from Lesong all have beads that produce noise when squished, half of these are the quieter pearlized version, making them more discrete. The first of these actually broke while I was writing this review (go figure), and as expected, it left a small wet spot with only very minimal purple color on my jeans (see photo), plus a few small drops on the floor. This is at the low end of mess I’ve seen from the liquid and gel fidgets I’ve used (of which there have been many), and no one around me even noticed it. I’ll continue to use these, and provided the others don’t break unreasonably quickly, I’ll likely order more when these are gone.

Super durable and very entertaining. A nice option to add to our kiddo’s sensory bin that wasn’t a “squishy” or water filled tube.

Great to have on you. Although our kids only seem to like the ones with the stars in them .

Perfect for my autism son

Arrived with one leaking. The kids are hard enough on these cheap fidgets without them showing up broken. Do not recommend you purchase. Too bad as these are very tactical and satisfying for my students.

All ages love this fidget toy.

We love the idea of fidget toys, and these are pretty with all the sparkles and glitter inside but these stopped working very well after a little bit of time. They kind of went more flat and less cushion-y.
