HI! OB/GYN here! We use those surgical brushes you have just to clean our hands. The side with the bristles is for cleaning your nails, and then the sponge side for your fingers/hands/forearms. For cleaning the patient's skin pre-op, there are actually different sponge sticks we use (chlorhexidine prep sticks) - for example, to be used on a patient's abdomen just prior to starting a surgery. Wonderful video!
@Sarah Cooper I did too but I also used one for bath time when she was a newborn baby, just when washing her hair to keep the cradle cap away. That's how i saw the NICU nurses use them also.
Chlorhexidine is amazing, I get such horrible Eczema on my hands and ever since I started permanently washing my hands with a 3% Chlorhexidine soap it's never come back. It's the same stuff used in the hospital here and elsewhere (Bioscrub).
As a Occupational Therapy Assistant student, and a sensory seeker, who is about to graduate, I love being shown different places to get stuff like this. Also, I was just trained on the Wilbarger Protocol, and it is so interesting how this works with sensory processing, and the effects it has on the kids. It’s probably been one of my favorite things that I have learned… and performed.
Heeyy! Congrats on almost graduating! I’m a second year OTD student and I still have a ways to go, but we got to take some of the brushes home and they’re so simple but cool!
I'm so excited to see another occupational therapy student!!! I'm from Spain, and here our profession isn't that recognised, so i get pretty happy hearing it being mentioned out of college 🤩
These items are extremely calming for the autism spectrum. Thank you for everything you do Gibi. I hope you know how much ASMR helps people on the spectrum. Its a relief to finally find comfort in sounds rather than conflict.
as someone who is autistic and has a lot of sensory needs, this is one of my favorite asmr videos. i love seeing recommendations along with the sounds and especially seeing how much you enjoy them too.
I told my mom over the phone the other night that I watch ASMR. She doesn’t really understand it but was really cool about it. I told her it helps with my anxiety and I could hear her start tapping on things to see what kind of sounds they make. Just wanted to share that I finally told someone I watch ASMR and it went well. Watching and enjoying ASMR is nothing to be ashamed of. Love to you all
Why should you be ashamed of it??! You’re healing yourself with natural harmless tools, instead of taking pharma pills. You should actually be proud of yourself for it.
@@i.1213 I never said I was ashamed of it. I was letting everyone who is ashamed know that there’s nothing to be ashamed. There are a lot of people that hide the fact that they watch ASMR so this message is for all of them.
I never understood why people assume people are going to like... Act like you're a freak for enjoying ASMR?? Literally just describe it as the same thing as listening to rain or ocean sounds to fall asleep, except it's a person doing things that sound nice.
Is it the middle of the day? yes. Am I going to take a nap? yes. Am I going to get stuff from the shop Gibi got the props? yes. Is Gibi's ASMR absolutely amazing? most definitely yes.

Ah, the surgical brushes. When I was a kid I had a lot of sensory overload issues and those things really helped me calm down. I had a routine where I used those on my arms every night before I went to bed to clear my head, and it really helped, not sure why even stopped. Thanks for bringing back good memories!
Gibi!!! I can't get my head around the fact that your videos are not only not excessive, but they are universally pleasing and relaxing! Thank you for another great day 🥰🥰
Hi Gibi! I've been watching you for years and I am a pediatric occupational therapist. I use the surgical brushes a lot through a brushing program for my kids who have sensory aversions to certain clothing textures and also for kids who are sensory seeking with tactile input as it can be calming for them. I also use a wide variety of fidget toys, especially with my kiddos with sensory processing disorder or ADHD and the kids love them. I also frequently use mouth chews for a lot of my kids with oral seeking behaviors who tend to mouth objects. So cool to see you incorporate a lot of therapy items in your videos that I use day to day in my career. Thank you for the great content as always!
Heeyy! I’m a second year OTD student and I agree, it’s nice to see these things get more attention. I’m doing fieldwork at an autism assessment center and I’m like “oh I’ve used that! Oh that too!” Always nice to see more about OTs!
And then there are people like myself who just don't like certain clothing /fabric in general XD I'm joking but I never knew there were any ways to avoid that at all for me it's just the fabric that bothers me entirely and not anything else so there's no way around it. Fidget toys are amazing because they certainly work I was a little skeptical of buying the random toys I've found on the internet but I think it really helps to relax and de-stress sometimes and it's great for when you are very hyper. I also didn't know about the mouth chewing toys I suppose they work better for little kids not so much adults unless it's an issue like bitting your nails for me I had never heard of chewable jewelry before so that's interesting I guess if anything can keep me from destroying my fingers sometimes I will certainly try it, cause I mean hand cream helps but it's not the same in part you get used to the behaviour too I don't really plan on stopping it someway unless I find a way around it but sometimes my fingers do bleed/hurt a lot, like right now depends how bad it is. I also love chewing on pretty much any other object and for some reason I've started chewing on random stuff now too. Broke a few things now so maybe that'd be very useful....
I’m a sensory seeker, and I love those brushes. They have helped with my ASD symptoms, but do you think they could help with some of my symptoms of complex PTSD? Or is that abusing the protocol?
Gibi! I'm a licensed Occupational Therapist and thinks makes my heart so happy. These are ALL tools that an OT would use, depending on their clients/setting. I use some of the teethers with my clients (toddlers) all the time! And the brushes are definitely used for the Wilbarger protocol you talked about, so fascinating. There are all kinds of rules and patterns for that protocol for when you are brushing them on a person (what direction to go in, whether you can brush over bare skin or clothes, etc). So exciting to see little bits of our OT world out in an ASMR video!
Eeyyy! I’m a second year OTD student and I agree, it’s always great for OT to get more attention. Some of these things we JUST learned about in class, which is kinda funny that I’m seeing it now! 💁🏻♂️
I'm an occupational therapist and work with kids, and several of their caregivers have mentioned that they love to watch forms of ASMR videos on TH-cam (they may not describe it as ASMR but the details they mention the types of videos). I thought it was so interesting that these kiddos were naturally drawn to ASMR for sensory even though they didn't realize it. I love this channel and use this brush and joint compressions regularly with so many patients! I would love to give suggestions because I have so many ASMR therapy related ideas lol
I went to occupational therapy for sensory processing disorder (to help learn to cope with it), and I have one of the surgical brushes for brushing and stimming with! It really helps and Ive heard a lot of people use them, never seen it in a youtube video tho :)
@@gayjayy I personally like them, but they are in the middle of rough and soft. Depending on which way you brush with the bristles it’s softer or rougher
I’m an SLPA (speech therapist) and I love seeing some of these fun sensory toys. LOVE the biting/chew items for sensory seekers. Biting something provides significant sensory input and really helps with oral fixations!
Heeyyy! I’m an OTD student! I’m actually working with some SLPs at an autism center and you guys do great stuff! Always nice to bring more awareness to these things 💁🏻♂️
The Special Ed department at the high school I used to work at used those surgical brushes for sensory brushes for some of the students! The aids would use them to lightly brush on their skin to help keep them calm and regulated ❤️
I love the surgical brushes. I often brush myself with them, or I use them as a way of tactile stimming. I don’t know if it’s ok to do that or not though. I just love how soft they are.
It would definitely be cool to see some more videos of different asmr items that you have bought and you describing them. I love the rambling type asmr videos. Also glad to see more ear to ear videos since they are my favorite asmr videos.
When you started going slower with the body tappers, it was amazing. The slow visual and the little quiet “tap……tap…..tap” was soooo pleasing. Loved it!
Hey there I'm a US Army medic and in austere conditions we use those brushes for both our hands and our patients. Before certain minor surgical procedures we use them to get as close to sterile conditions as we can in the field, but most of ours are impregnated with Iodine. We also will use them in nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks to decontaminate patients before we can work on them. I hope you found that interesting. I love your content and it really helps to soothe my mind before sleep. Keep it up!
as a person with adhd and severe anxiety, your videos have always helped me deal with it and it's something I've had to deal with my entire life so it's nice to have found someone who can help.
💜 Thank you sooo much Gibi! I have struggled with oral fixation my whole life (nails, clothes, pencils, & I can’t count how many Polly pocket shoes & pencil grips I have accidentally swallowed!) unfortunately it transferred over to eating as well & now I have alot more problems than before. My little sister also used to have a surgical scrub brush to help with her sensory processing issues & unfortunately it was lost to time & I had no hopes of getting a replacement for her! This shop is a godsend for my family & I am so thankful you’ve brought it to our attention! 😁💜
Duuuude thank you for shouting out occupational therapy/therapists. Sometimes it feel like this community is kind of overshadowed by others. It’s really cool to get some inspiration from your video. P.S. Thanks for giving me some ideas for OT techniques. I have a project due soon, and I may use some of this stuff to help out with that.
Hey Gibi, I just wanted to say, thank you for making ASMR videos! I’m in year 7, and I’m sort of struggling with my new school, (like I know my way around and stuff but I’m still scared) I also have anxiety, so thank you so much for the ASMR videos! :D
I immediately recognized that white brush on the left side of the thumbnail, I used to brush myself with that before I put on my clothes because if I didn't I would be extremely overwhelmed by the feeling of the clothes. Thank you so much for that nostalgia or mine, I still have the brush to this day actually.
Wow, when you were brushing the surgical brush on your hands, I noticed your engagement and wedding rings and OH MY GOODNESS THOSE ARE GORGEOUS!!! that is SUCH a beautiful ring combo and it looks amazing on you 🤍🤍🤍 edit: getting further into the video this is by far the best video I've ever seen on your channel it was absolutely incredible
I’m in school to become an occupational therapy assistant and happen to be working on a huge project at the moment- and went to put on asmr to help me focus on what I’m doing and how neat to find this is the last video you posted!
As I read the comments I’m happily surprised to find the many other individuals who have autism, and as a fellow autistic person myself I feel very excited to know I’m not alone here! I loved reading the comments that share similar experiences and stories of sensory needs and the importance of asmr in the lives of everyone who are autistic like me! Asmr has always been my comfort no matter what negative mood I’m facing I always turn to asmr and it never ever fails me. I go through a lot of burnouts and I also struggle with other major mental health illnesses so to be able to have this place to go where I can be calmed by TH-camrs doing asmr really really helps me through my day to day struggles. Thank you Gibi I’ve been subscribed for almost 5 whole years!! You’ve helped me through highschool and now throughout college!!! ❤❤❤
My gramma had those sergical brush and NOTHING gets dirt off your skill and out from under your nails better. They are magical and I had no idea what or where they are from! Thaank you!!!!!
Thank you for creating such a safe space for your viewers. I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life, and am self diagnosed Autistic, and no matter what type of ASMR you are doing, you have always been so good at welcoming people in… This video is like the icing on the cake- falling asleep to sounds made with sensory tools… I never would have imagined feeling so seen and included by a stranger on the internet. Your videos introduced me to ASMR, and I remember back then feeling so grateful to finally have the help I needed to sleep… but now- what I’m getting at is that your channel has ALWAYS been inclusive, but as you’ve grown as a person over the years and have opened up a tiny bit about your ADHD, your channel has grown with you. And I don’t think there are words for how much I appreciate it. I’m honestly so grateful for all the work that you do. And good lord, I hope all of that made sense! Lol
ASMR has become one of my go-to things to listen to. It's so much more than just for sleep for me, it's background noise and sounds for whatever I'm doing, from gaming to work to reading stuff online. Honestly, it rivals minecraft background music! and this video has the perfect mix of sounds and whispers that is so incredibly tingly, I love this one
I made rainbow rice at home for my child this year! At 1 teaspoon of vinegar with drops of what ever color you want (I would use 4 drops). After that's mixed add the rice. Shake the bag until the color is evenly disbursed. Then dump onto a paper towel and smooth into a thin layer to dry overnight. Repeat for each color you want and then combined in a zip lock bag the next morning. 🤷♀️
Hi Gibi, I'm actually an occupational therapist and have performed the Wilbarger brushing protocol for children with autism and ADHD in the past and I've found consistent use of it can help with task attention, emotional regulation, and also with tactile defensiveness/sensory aversions. Love that you included this - so cool! And so cool that you researched it.
as a child I ent to a occupational therapist and she gave me one of these brushes and omg the physical sensation these brushes gave me as a child was chefs kiss
So honored and blessed you are familiar with OT. I’m an occupational therapist and I also love asmr! I just started a job with kids and a lot of my treatment involved triggers. Love it 🥰
This might sound weird (and I don’t even know if possible) but I would LOVE a video that is just exclusively Gibi doing ads. I always find her ad sections one of my favourite triggers for some reason and end up rewatching the same part many times 😴😴
It's so nice to see that Gibi's amazing content helps a lot of people with mental health issues such as ADHD and Autism etc! And I can confirm as a person who suffers from them myself her videos are very calming, sleep inducing and overall just really nice! It is also good that it seems she enjoys making them too. Thank you for another amazing vid Gibi!
I'm autistic and you are really helpful for me. Not only is ASMR helpful for when I get overwhelmed or stressed, but you particularly are perfect for me. I am always super interested in the content you create, and the way you talk like you're having a conversation and you smile and personality are so happy and comforting. You also always keep my mind and senses occupied and I don't get under stimulated because of the way you talk and the way you rambling gives my brain something to focus on as well! Thank you so much, you are so amazing!
Hospital Pharmacy Technician here. We use those exact surgical brushes to clean hands/forearms with Chlorhexidine before preparing IV medicine in our sterile room. Who knew they made such great tools for ASMR as well. This is my favorite video yet. 💤💤
Gibi!!! I can't get my head around the fact that your videos are not only not excessive, but they are universally pleasing and relaxing! Thank you for another great day
My niece was born premature and we used those brushes on our hands to get under the nails and get dead skin off to be fully cleaned before visiting her in the hospital.
My 3 year old son is on a sensory diet, and we just started The Wilbarger Protocol with those brushes. We do this every 90 minutes for the next 2 weeks and will slowly go longer periods of time. It instantly calms him down and keeps him focused, it’s truly amazing
I love this, especially the chewing objects!!! I've bought several things I've enjoyed from Stimtastic in the past; unfortunately they're on hiatus/closed it seems. But for anyone looking for chewing objects that might be more "socially acceptable", try looking around for chewable jewelry; there are lots of designs that can be passed off pretty easily as normal jewelry (just make sure you're buying from a reputable source that's using the proper materials, generally food-safe silicone)
The surgical brush technique they use on little kids for sensory! I have some at home for my son. You apply pressure and the technique you just used with pulling on the joints helps him with over stimulation. It's very relaxing
Do you think they could help me when I’m having symptoms of complex PTSD? Like if I am trying to calm down from having flashbacks. Or is that abusing the technique?
The doodley-type microfiber is called Chenille Microfiber. Also the reason you tend to feel negatively toward microfiber is because cheap microfiber feels very rough and catches the skin on your hand, with a very unpleasant dry/scratchy sensation. What you need to do is feel some quality microfiber, it's magical.
Yes please Gibi, do a full video! Thanks for your awesome channel and personality. It actually is really helpful in dealing with everyday stress and anxiety.
I would loooooove more content with the corn brushes and the sensory rice! The rice sounded so nice when you were pushing it around in the bowl with your fingers, I think the fingers sounded better than the stylus.
i work with autistic/high support needs kids and am autistic myself, and i see almost all of these on a daily basis! brushing is next level good 🤤 and all my kiddos have chewys, and so do i. sensory relief does wonders!
Both my sons are Autistic and have sensory issues sometimes they are over sensitive and sometimes need sensory input as well as just enjoying sensory stuff. They use most of these products for calming themselves, stimulating themselves etc. Great video.
Far out the biting items are a game changer, unlocked a core memory of before I realised I had sensory sensitivities(and also bad teeth and jaw pain since I was young) I would get in weird zones where all I wanted to do was chew on something to relieve stress and help my teeth. I’ve not had that need for many years but seeing those tools made me instantly want to chew them😂 So fascinating!
I relate to this do much, I had such badly impacted wisdom teeth before I got them surgically removed. I used to destroy pens and pencils, pen caps etc. Anything that could be chewed or bitten would be in my mouth in an instant lmao. It's reliving not having that pain or desire to chew/bite anymore though!!
Got hella overstimulated earlier today (3rd day home from college) and had to basically flee a simple chill hangout time and felt embarrassed but overwhelmed and watched this twice. It really helped, thank you.
I really liked the corn brush as a personal attention trigger combined with the noise. I think a lot of these would be really good in a mechanic/"fixing you" video. The drizzl was very satisfying to watch lol
I'll be honest please do make a video solely on the surgical brushes For the first time in a year they gave me tingles And I agree that they are super amazing triggers
Idk what other ppl think, but I really liked the "calming body tappers" preferably if you pretended to tap on us but I also really like the slow tapping them together :)
Hi Gibi! So several of these items were used with my son in therapy. He struggles with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. They teal chew thing, the nuk massager, the surgical scrub brushes were all items used with my son by several different therapists. So they definitely use items like these to help people. One thing I was curious about that you didn't mention, was if the chew thing actually tasted like mint?? I think my favorites from this video were the circle pouches, surgical brushes, foam/dough, and foam heat sensitive pad. Thanks again for the creative video. Love you Gibi!
VIDEO IDEA✨ Another video idea i would think would be something interesting to see is one of your characters such as grim working a new job that they may necessarily not fit / choose (basically and opposite) as i think it would be really cool how Youd perceive a charter in that situation. (For an example: grim currently works in a magical shop in a small town and as a new job he could be working in something more modernised such as a hotel worker in the city) i would love to see this and i hope i can inspire you !
As a speech-language pathologist, I’ve used brushing as a way to provide sensory input that assists the client’s brain in understanding where the body is in space (proprioception). That input is calming and can increase the ability to focus and maintain attention. Love the additional education you provided in this video, Gibi. Anything we can learn about tools and resources others need in order to better navigate life allows us to be more compassionate and understanding people.
The Surgical Brushes were definitely my favorite, I already liked them a lot in the recent Layered Sounds video, so it was nice to hear them again so soon in this one Gibi, especially the part where you put them together, and then also when you did a little Invisible Triggers part with them 😌. The Calming Body Tappers, Microfiber Cloth and Heat Sensitive Foam Pad were also really good, the Pad looked so cool. Also, I love the idea you had of pouring the Rainbow Rice on a microphone in a possible future video, it would probably sound amazing, just like the ideas of how to use the Chewing Objects in many different ways you had while using them. So yeah, I'm really happy you're planning on making more videos with these soon 😊.
I’ve been going through a stressful and emotional time lately, and it’s caused my sensory issues to be harder to manage than usual. ASMR has been so wonderfully helpful since overstimulation and under-stimulation are both very unpleasant and stressful in their own ways. It provides sensory stimulation in such a uniquely controlled and intentional way that I can mostly stop worrying about it getting to be too much or not enough and freely enjoy the stimuli. So yeah, I totally see the connection between ASMR and occupational therapy for sensory issues
Hey there! Currently an ICU RN but before I graduated nursing school, we used those surgical brushes in my NICU clinicals. We would scrub our nails, hands, and forearms frequently throughout the shift to help keep the babies and our work area as clean as possible.
Occupational Therapists use these types of brushes for kids with tactile or proprioceptive needs. What my OT friend tells me is deep pressure brushing is calming and light brushing is excitatory in nature. Very cool stuff indeed!
I love the therapy shoppe. I’m autistic ADHD and get so many of my stim toys through there. Those brushes are used for the Wilbarger Protocol. For people who are hypersensitive to touch, regular skin brushing can help with desensitization by helping calm the central nervous system.

Eeyyy! I’m a second year OTD student and I agree, it’s always great for OT to get more attention. Some of these things we JUST learned about in class, which is kinda funny that I’m seeing it now! 💁🏻♂️
I think I have watched this at least 14 times and it’s only been a month the something about the softness in the mic quality 😫✨ so many nice tingles
i have watched it everyday at least once a day
As someone who is ESL, the subtitles are a tremendous help and being so well made they really add to the ASMR :)
16:30 is so nice to me oh my god, something abt the tap noises with her whispering and then the check in just makes my brain very happy
I'm an occupational therapist and work with kids, and several of their caregivers have mentioned that they love to watch forms of ASMR videos on TH-cam (they may not describe it as ASMR but the details they mention the types of videos). I thought it was so interesting that these kiddos were naturally drawn to ASMR for sensory even though they didn't realize it. I love this channel and use this brush and joint compressions regularly with so many patients! I would love to give suggestions because I have so many ASMR therapy related ideas lol
I went to occupational therapy for sensory processing disorder (to help learn to cope with it), and I have one of the surgical brushes for brushing and stimming with! It really helps and Ive heard a lot of people use them, never seen it in a youtube video tho :)
Are the bristles rough?
@@gayjayy I personally like them, but they are in the middle of rough and soft. Depending on which way you brush with the bristles it’s softer or rougher
I did the same thing when I was really little and I made my mom take the brush and use it on my arms and back every night when I was going to sleep
i remember i used it every day when I was really young and i’m pretty sure we lost it when we moved… i haven’t seen it since i was 9.
OH MY GOSH I HAVE SPD! glad im not the only gibi fan with diagnosed spd =D
I’m an SLPA (speech therapist) and I love seeing some of these fun sensory toys. LOVE the biting/chew items for sensory seekers. Biting something provides significant sensory input and really helps with oral fixations!
Heeyyy! I’m an OTD student! I’m actually working with some SLPs at an autism center and you guys do great stuff! Always nice to bring more awareness to these things 💁🏻♂️
As an autistic person this is just what I need. I just know it'll provide me so much comfort for many nights.Thankyou Gibi
Absolutely LOVE the surgical brushes. Gives great tapping and brushing tingles. We need more of this. Keep it up Gibi. ❤️
The Special Ed department at the high school I used to work at used those surgical brushes for sensory brushes for some of the students! The aids would use them to lightly brush on their skin to help keep them calm and regulated ❤️
Yupp I like those surgical brushes
I love the surgical brushes. I often brush myself with them, or I use them as a way of tactile stimming. I don’t know if it’s ok to do that or not though. I just love how soft they are.
It would definitely be cool to see some more videos of different asmr items that you have bought and you describing them. I love the rambling type asmr videos. Also glad to see more ear to ear videos since they are my favorite asmr videos.
When you started going slower with the body tappers, it was amazing. The slow visual and the little quiet “tap……tap…..tap” was soooo pleasing. Loved it!
Hey there I'm a US Army medic and in austere conditions we use those brushes for both our hands and our patients. Before certain minor surgical procedures we use them to get as close to sterile conditions as we can in the field, but most of ours are impregnated with Iodine. We also will use them in nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks to decontaminate patients before we can work on them. I hope you found that interesting. I love your content and it really helps to soothe my mind before sleep. Keep it up!
as a person with adhd and severe anxiety, your videos have always helped me deal with it and it's something I've had to deal with my entire life so it's nice to have found someone who can help.
💜 Thank you sooo much Gibi! I have struggled with oral fixation my whole life (nails, clothes, pencils, & I can’t count how many Polly pocket shoes & pencil grips I have accidentally swallowed!) unfortunately it transferred over to eating as well & now I have alot more problems than before. My little sister also used to have a surgical scrub brush to help with her sensory processing issues & unfortunately it was lost to time & I had no hopes of getting a replacement for her! This shop is a godsend for my family & I am so thankful you’ve brought it to our attention! 😁💜
Duuuude thank you for shouting out occupational therapy/therapists. Sometimes it feel like this community is kind of overshadowed by others. It’s really cool to get some inspiration from your video.
P.S.
Thanks for giving me some ideas for OT techniques. I have a project due soon, and I may use some of this stuff to help out with that.
Eeyyy! Fellow OT student 😎
Hey Gibi, I just wanted to say, thank you for making ASMR videos! I’m in year 7, and I’m sort of struggling with my new school, (like I know my way around and stuff but I’m still scared) I also have anxiety, so thank you so much for the ASMR videos! :D
Year 7 is difficult and it may not all work out but at least there will always be Gibi videos
Good luck to you, next few years will be rough
Year 8 isn't much better, and you're hearing it from me
@@tolidonorsometing but year 9 is so good I'm telling u u will enjpy it's way better then year 8
year 11 sucks guys, don’t let it get this far
I immediately recognized that white brush on the left side of the thumbnail, I used to brush myself with that before I put on my clothes because if I didn't I would be extremely overwhelmed by the feeling of the clothes. Thank you so much for that nostalgia or mine, I still have the brush to this day actually.
Wow, when you were brushing the surgical brush on your hands, I noticed your engagement and wedding rings and OH MY GOODNESS THOSE ARE GORGEOUS!!! that is SUCH a beautiful ring combo and it looks amazing on you 🤍🤍🤍
edit: getting further into the video this is by far the best video I've ever seen on your channel it was absolutely incredible
Chill out chowdah
I’m in school to become an occupational therapy assistant and happen to be working on a huge project at the moment- and went to put on asmr to help me focus on what I’m doing and how neat to find this is the last video you posted!
As I read the comments I’m happily surprised to find the many other individuals who have autism, and as a fellow autistic person myself I feel very excited to know I’m not alone here! I loved reading the comments that share similar experiences and stories of sensory needs and the importance of asmr in the lives of everyone who are autistic like me! Asmr has always been my comfort no matter what negative mood I’m facing I always turn to asmr and it never ever fails me. I go through a lot of burnouts and I also struggle with other major mental health illnesses so to be able to have this place to go where I can be calmed by TH-camrs doing asmr really really helps me through my day to day struggles. Thank you Gibi I’ve been subscribed for almost 5 whole years!! You’ve helped me through highschool and now throughout college!!! ❤❤❤
My gramma had those sergical brush and NOTHING gets dirt off your skill and out from under your nails better. They are magical and I had no idea what or where they are from! Thaank you!!!!!
Me personally it’s the calming body tappers doing a role play asmr out of it would be so relaxing 😌
the blue circles were such good visuals especially tapping close to the camera
Thank you for creating such a safe space for your viewers. I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life, and am self diagnosed Autistic, and no matter what type of ASMR you are doing, you have always been so good at welcoming people in…
This video is like the icing on the cake- falling asleep to sounds made with sensory tools… I never would have imagined feeling so seen and included by a stranger on the internet.
Your videos introduced me to ASMR, and I remember back then feeling so grateful to finally have the help I needed to sleep… but now- what I’m getting at is that your channel has ALWAYS been inclusive, but as you’ve grown as a person over the years and have opened up a tiny bit about your ADHD, your channel has grown with you. And I don’t think there are words for how much I appreciate it.
I’m honestly so grateful for all the work that you do.
And good lord, I hope all of that made sense! Lol
yo not to hate but like, don’t self diagnose mental disorders
@@boojaballs self diagnosis in the autism community is valid.
@@boojaballs
Self diagnosis for autism is 1000% valid and sometimes completely necessary. It is wildly under diagnosed in teens and adults.
I think that little grabby claw thing might make a great "Deep Stress Extractor" for our favorite bespectacled anxiety treatment specialist.
ASMR has become one of my go-to things to listen to. It's so much more than just for sleep for me, it's background noise and sounds for whatever I'm doing, from gaming to work to reading stuff online. Honestly, it rivals minecraft background music!
and this video has the perfect mix of sounds and whispers that is so incredibly tingly, I love this one
I made rainbow rice at home for my child this year!
At 1 teaspoon of vinegar with drops of what ever color you want (I would use 4 drops). After that's mixed add the rice. Shake the bag until the color is evenly disbursed. Then dump onto a paper towel and smooth into a thin layer to dry overnight. Repeat for each color you want and then combined in a zip lock bag the next morning. 🤷♀️
Hi Gibi, I'm actually an occupational therapist and have performed the Wilbarger brushing protocol for children with autism and ADHD in the past and I've found consistent use of it can help with task attention, emotional regulation, and also with tactile defensiveness/sensory aversions. Love that you included this - so cool! And so cool that you researched it.
I love your trigger videos they always give me the most tingles! Excited for this you’re a huge inspiration for my asmr channel!
new sub here!
agreed! you have some great roleplays
as a child I ent to a occupational therapist and she gave me one of these brushes and omg the physical sensation these brushes gave me as a child was chefs kiss
That’s so cool! I’m an OTD student and we just learned about the brushes and they’re so relaxing!
Bless Gibi for posting and justifying me taking a midday nap 🎉
cute ^^
@@EvolutionBG weirdo
@@theneification Wait, what? Why? 😢
@@EvolutionBG ignore negative ppl, they only wanna ruin your good vibes
@@Defirence weirdo
So honored and blessed you are familiar with OT. I’m an occupational therapist and I also love asmr! I just started a job with kids and a lot of my treatment involved triggers. Love it 🥰
Ahh yes life as a year 11 student being stressful only has one solution. Gibi is that solution, perfect timing gibi :)
gl with your gcses
I feel this on a spiritual level my guy
@@ashebeech2631 me too
year 12 here, it gets better. Just do as much as you can with GCSEs, take them one at a time.
good luck fellow year 11 student!
This might sound weird (and I don’t even know if possible) but I would LOVE a video that is just exclusively Gibi doing ads. I always find her ad sections one of my favourite triggers for some reason and end up rewatching the same part many times 😴😴
It's so nice to see that Gibi's amazing content helps a lot of people with mental health issues such as ADHD and Autism etc! And I can confirm as a person who suffers from them myself her videos are very calming, sleep inducing and overall just really nice! It is also good that it seems she enjoys making them too. Thank you for another amazing vid Gibi!
The surgical brushes with the sponge on the back is what we received when I had my two children. They used them for their first bath 💗
The purple lighting is immaculate
Gibi was one of the first asmrist I listened to and up to today still one of my favorites
I'm autistic and you are really helpful for me. Not only is ASMR helpful for when I get overwhelmed or stressed, but you particularly are perfect for me. I am always super interested in the content you create, and the way you talk like you're having a conversation and you smile and personality are so happy and comforting. You also always keep my mind and senses occupied and I don't get under stimulated because of the way you talk and the way you rambling gives my brain something to focus on as well! Thank you so much, you are so amazing!
I love the fact that you talk through it all! I don’t get enough stimulation otherwise! So this is perfection for me❤️❤️❤️
Hospital Pharmacy Technician here. We use those exact surgical brushes to clean hands/forearms with Chlorhexidine before preparing IV medicine in our sterile room. Who knew they made such great tools for ASMR as well. This is my favorite video yet. 💤💤
4 yrs with you and the videos are still the best out here.
Gibi!!! I can't get my head around the fact that your videos are not only not excessive, but they are universally pleasing and relaxing! Thank you for another great day
My niece was born premature and we used those brushes on our hands to get under the nails and get dead skin off to be fully cleaned before visiting her in the hospital.
I’m a Doctor of Occupational Therapy Student and LOVED seeing some of the tools we use like those brushes incorporated into ASMR!! So cool!!
47:40 is the best sound I’ve heard in my life
The blue tapping ones were amazing❤❤
The thermal pad scratching sound is amazing.
My 3 year old son is on a sensory diet, and we just started The Wilbarger Protocol with those brushes. We do this every 90 minutes for the next 2 weeks and will slowly go longer periods of time. It instantly calms him down and keeps him focused, it’s truly amazing
I love this, especially the chewing objects!!!
I've bought several things I've enjoyed from Stimtastic in the past; unfortunately they're on hiatus/closed it seems. But for anyone looking for chewing objects that might be more "socially acceptable", try looking around for chewable jewelry; there are lots of designs that can be passed off pretty easily as normal jewelry (just make sure you're buying from a reputable source that's using the proper materials, generally food-safe silicone)
i loved the 'calming body tappers' and the 'water bead pouch'!
The sound of the water bead pouch as it's shaken is amazing! 🤯
The surgical brush technique they use on little kids for sensory! I have some at home for my son. You apply pressure and the technique you just used with pulling on the joints helps him with over stimulation. It's very relaxing
Do you think they could help me when I’m having symptoms of complex PTSD? Like if I am trying to calm down from having flashbacks. Or is that abusing the technique?
The doodley-type microfiber is called Chenille Microfiber.
Also the reason you tend to feel negatively toward microfiber is because cheap microfiber feels very rough and catches the skin on your hand, with a very unpleasant dry/scratchy sensation. What you need to do is feel some quality microfiber, it's magical.
Yes please Gibi, do a full video! Thanks for your awesome channel and personality. It actually is really helpful in dealing with everyday stress and anxiety.
I would loooooove more content with the corn brushes and the sensory rice! The rice sounded so nice when you were pushing it around in the bowl with your fingers, I think the fingers sounded better than the stylus.
i work with autistic/high support needs kids and am autistic myself, and i see almost all of these on a daily basis! brushing is next level good 🤤 and all my kiddos have chewys, and so do i. sensory relief does wonders!
Gibi is the only youtuber I would watch the whole entire ad of
Both my sons are Autistic and have sensory issues sometimes they are over sensitive and sometimes need sensory input as well as just enjoying sensory stuff. They use most of these products for calming themselves, stimulating themselves etc. Great video.
Far out the biting items are a game changer, unlocked a core memory of before I realised I had sensory sensitivities(and also bad teeth and jaw pain since I was young) I would get in weird zones where all I wanted to do was chew on something to relieve stress and help my teeth. I’ve not had that need for many years but seeing those tools made me instantly want to chew them😂
So fascinating!
I relate to this do much, I had such badly impacted wisdom teeth before I got them surgically removed. I used to destroy pens and pencils, pen caps etc. Anything that could be chewed or bitten would be in my mouth in an instant lmao. It's reliving not having that pain or desire to chew/bite anymore though!!
so* much I'm overtired as hell I'm sorry lol
Got hella overstimulated earlier today (3rd day home from college) and had to basically flee a simple chill hangout time and felt embarrassed but overwhelmed and watched this twice. It really helped, thank you.
More tapping on the plastic of those brushes please!
I really liked the corn brush as a personal attention trigger combined with the noise. I think a lot of these would be really good in a mechanic/"fixing you" video. The drizzl was very satisfying to watch lol
I’m a second year OTD student and we JUST learned about the brushes! What a coinkydink 💁🏻♂️
I'll be honest please do make a video solely on the surgical brushes
For the first time in a year they gave me tingles
And I agree that they are super amazing triggers
Idk what other ppl think, but I really liked the "calming body tappers" preferably if you pretended to tap on us but I also really like the slow tapping them together :)
Hi Gibi! So several of these items were used with my son in therapy. He struggles with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. They teal chew thing, the nuk massager, the surgical scrub brushes were all items used with my son by several different therapists. So they definitely use items like these to help people. One thing I was curious about that you didn't mention, was if the chew thing actually tasted like mint?? I think my favorites from this video were the circle pouches, surgical brushes, foam/dough, and foam heat sensitive pad. Thanks again for the creative video. Love you Gibi!
VIDEO IDEA✨
Another video idea i would think would be something interesting to see is one of your characters such as grim working a new job that they may necessarily not fit / choose (basically and opposite) as i think it would be really cool how Youd perceive a charter in that situation. (For an example: grim currently works in a magical shop in a small town and as a new job he could be working in something more modernised such as a hotel worker in the city) i would love to see this and i hope i can inspire you !
YES GIBI! PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON JUST THOSE BRUSHES AND COMPRESSION YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT!
These whispering videos are so nice! Thanks pal 😁
I feel like sponsoring gibi is lucrative because she shows them off so well and I always listen to ot because of the asmr it's so good
i really enjoyed the body tappers, slow and fast! ❤
As a speech-language pathologist, I’ve used brushing as a way to provide sensory input that assists the client’s brain in understanding where the body is in space (proprioception). That input is calming and can increase the ability to focus and maintain attention. Love the additional education you provided in this video, Gibi. Anything we can learn about tools and resources others need in order to better navigate life allows us to be more compassionate and understanding people.
The Surgical Brushes were definitely my favorite, I already liked them a lot in the recent Layered Sounds video, so it was nice to hear them again so soon in this one Gibi, especially the part where you put them together, and then also when you did a little Invisible Triggers part with them 😌. The Calming Body Tappers, Microfiber Cloth and Heat Sensitive Foam Pad were also really good, the Pad looked so cool.
Also, I love the idea you had of pouring the Rainbow Rice on a microphone in a possible future video, it would probably sound amazing, just like the ideas of how to use the Chewing Objects in many different ways you had while using them. So yeah, I'm really happy you're planning on making more videos with these soon 😊.
I’ve been going through a stressful and emotional time lately, and it’s caused my sensory issues to be harder to manage than usual. ASMR has been so wonderfully helpful since overstimulation and under-stimulation are both very unpleasant and stressful in their own ways. It provides sensory stimulation in such a uniquely controlled and intentional way that I can mostly stop worrying about it getting to be too much or not enough and freely enjoy the stimuli. So yeah, I totally see the connection between ASMR and occupational therapy for sensory issues
We love a long content Queen,🌟 it takes me upwards of 30min to fall asleep so these long videos are absolutely perfect 🎧🫶🏼✨
I agree 💯. I'm exactly the same.
I am a special education teacher and we use many of these items for our students. There are so many sensory items out there. Love the brushes!
Perfect timing! Just came home from a concert and in desperate need for your calm Energy☺️🥰 thank you 💛💛💛
what concert?
@@yallmight3652 it's a german artist called Mine. She's the most talented musician I've ever seen🥰
@@MrsWolfsPaw are u a German ?
@@hemank5536 yes :)
Hey there! Currently an ICU RN but before I graduated nursing school, we used those surgical brushes in my NICU clinicals. We would scrub our nails, hands, and forearms frequently throughout the shift to help keep the babies and our work area as clean as possible.
Occupational Therapists use these types of brushes for kids with tactile or proprioceptive needs. What my OT friend tells me is deep pressure brushing is calming and light brushing is excitatory in nature. Very cool stuff indeed!
A lot people don’t realize that these do alot! I’ve seen many comments about different kinds of doctors using these
I would totally watch a rainbow sensory rice video 🥰
The plastic bead pouch is my absolute favorite trigger now! Thank u for showing us all of the things u used here
Doing the tappers slow was a game changer lol
I love the therapy shoppe. I’m autistic ADHD and get so many of my stim toys through there.
Those brushes are used for the Wilbarger Protocol. For people who are hypersensitive to touch, regular skin brushing can help with desensitization by helping calm the central nervous system.
A month late to the party but PLEASE MA'AM on the Rainbow Rice Video!!! 🙏🏻🌈
12:37 i love the pure agressive love she has for these brushes
