Acceptance and self-love are essential for fostering inner peace and healing. Our goal is to empower individuals affected by skin picking and fidgeting behaviors to shift their perspective on their skin lesions, to see them not as flaws but as part of their unique journey. We hope to inspire a sense of forgiveness, encouraging them to embrace their bodies with compassion and care. Through this, we want to help them reconnect with themselves, nurturing a gentle relationship that celebrates resilience and the beauty of growth. Together, we can rewrite the narrative towards kindness, understanding, and self-acceptance.

With PICKY CATS we want to support people living with Skin Picking Disorder and other fidgeting related conditions by helping them redirect their behavior through clothing that incorporates built-in fidget toys. Our hope is to ease their symptoms, even if only a little, while also creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and empowered to discover a more positive relationship with their condition. The origin story of PICKY specifically addresses Skin Picking Disorder, but it’s important to recognize that skin picking can also be a symptom of other mental health conditions, such as depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders.

This collection is therefore for anyone who wants to stop picking and find healthier, more constructive ways to manage their fidgeting needs.
