I have a daughter who has sensory input issues and she has always been a nail biter. For her it is nervous energy although when she is stressed it becomes worse. She cannot stop fidgiting. In fact she is only 5 ft. tall so we call her fidget the midget (she knows it's a term of endearment and is not offended) Anyhow I keep threatening to buy her these:

She often chews up straws and paper clips. She is 17 - this habit doesn't go away very easily so just needs to be directed.
