I've bought the steel roller and it's very good and has a good weight. It's smooth and silent and rolls very good. I just like it a lot.
We have the metal Ono and the foam one and they both roll so so smoothly! They just glide in your hand. We all prefer the metal one, even the kids. The weight is grounding and I like that it gets cold, room temperature cold or you can put it in the freezer and you get that extra sensory input. Also the rolling is completely silent and the feel good if you massage your legs with them. Buy one. Or several. You won't forget it!
I wish I had an ONO when I was young! But I am so grateful for it now. For decades I didn't realize my fidgetiness was actually stimming. As a self-diagnosed Neurodivergent adult having a productive way to release energy (and save my skin) is miraculous! Thank you!
I keep the steel at home. 12 oz is too heavy to carry around. I like the weight. If your hands get clammy at all you might not like the feel of this one as it heats up from your body heat. Regular one doesn't seem to have the same issue.
Can also be used to regulate. I'll roll really fast and then I notice and can slow it down and that slows me down too.
Helpful in therapy when doing more intense work. Helped keep me grounded instead of dissociating.
I was expecting to love this and have it last long, especially given the cost, but it’s really just okay. The top and bottom screw out if you hold them with your pointer or middle finger and thumb to spin. They look like they should only screw out with an Allen key, but I frequently end up doing it with my fingers. I find that rather than helping with focus it’s more of a distraction I sit with and think, losing time. It’s heavy so if it rolls off your lap, desk, or couch it can chip/scratch hard floors. Heads up! Bottom line: not worth the price!
Seen this on IG and thought it wouldn’t work at all . I had open heart surgery last year and decided to get it as a calming aide as well as keep your hands busy. It actually works !!! The only thing is that I wish I would have bought the full size one since as I have big hands and the ono jr is to small for me but still works.
I got the Jr size cause I have kindve smaller hands and it doesn't overwhelm my hand, and fits really nice in my pocket. And it's soooo satisfying, I had my family try it and now they want some too lol
Luv these products! Purchased three and there are times when all of the clients in a family session are using them. Hopefully, I'll be able to afford a few more tea accommodate client preferences in the near future.
I like everything about the junior except for the material. The plastic material (at least on the black color which is what I ordered) smells strongly of rubber, sort of like tires or asphalt.
Really disappointed. I thought these were designed for people with sensory issues but it seems like a strong sense of smell was not taken into consideration for this version. I tried washing the product and letting it air out for a few weeks. Unfortunately that did not help.
I ordered both the original and the junior in black. The original is a bit too large for me, an average height (5'2") woman, to roll in both directions with one hand. The junior is a much better size for me. I wish that this size came in aluminum instead of plastic.
If you are sensitive to smells, I recommend avoiding the plastic version.
I often forget I'm even rolling it in my hand. It has been very helpful.
I got this as a gift for my boyfriend who picks his cuticles and nails until they bleed, and he loves it. He just forgets he has another option and forgets it at work or at home a lot and so now I think I might use it more than him
The Ono Jr is super relaxing and a perfect portable size. I can use it at work and it is small enough to not be seen in my hand. The texture is super smooth and pleasant to feel. I find these rollers very therapeutic and help to massage out my whole hand and even wrists really well. I have noticed a lot less cramping since I have been using them. I also purchased a full size and that one is great for getting all four of my fingers at once. The regular Ono is also a slightly more comfortable wider grip. But I can’t beat the Jr’s portability. So I love them both equally. I am considering getting the stainless one as well because I can already picture how much I would enjoy it. But overall, these are incredibly well-made products. I find them extremely useful not as a mere fidget toy, but as a whole hand massage experience.
When I am anxious or stressed I twist my hair around my fingers for hours without even realizing it. I know that isn't healthy and I am sure I was losing hair. The ONO Roller is saving my hair!
showed this thing to all of my friends and they all love it, three of them bought one for themselves. best stim toy ever. discreet, quiet, ergonomic, stimulating but not distracting. i like the junior size bc it’s a little less noticeable. especially in public people usually just think it’s a vape. could not recommend this more.
Hands down the best fidget toy of all time. Forget everything you know about fidgeting. This fidget feels like it was destined to be rolled by my hands. I’m never putting it down, my left hand will always be filled
Just for clarity I purchased the JR in black. I was hesitant because the JR is made out of plastic instead of metal. But this feels premium. Does not feel cheap at all. For the price it is amazing. It rolls great, has great packaging and completely silent. Please buy it. You will not regret it.
I'm someone who has to be doing something with their hands when they're sitting still, but most "fidget toys" make noise. That's annoying for people around me and I end up not using them. Also, most fidgets are cheap plastic crap that break quickly.
The ONO roller is the answer to my prayers. It's silent. It's sturdy. It'll last forever. And it looks cool enough that I'm not embarrassed to use it as an adult.
I bought myself one, promptly lost it to my teens, and bought two more so we all have one. And I have a list - a real, actual list - of people I'm going to buy one for.
TL;DR This thing is lovely. I'm well chuffed to have one.
I’m so glad my wife showed me the ONO!!! It is so smooth and sleek… it feels like velvet as it rolls in virtual silence… as you can see in the 30 second clip I shared, you can hear my wife talking in the background and no noise at all from the ONO ROLLER !!!
I love it so much that I had her get the Mini Stainless to go with this Original Stainless Steel Model… Thanks for a top of the line product!
I love it. I do wish they were little more affordable but I can’t wait to buy the others. Potentially extras.
