Meet the Calm Buddi Turtle, a pocket-sized anxiety-relief companion made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic.

Created by Renee Taylor - then a 20-year-old Australian, who personally struggled with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, and the challenges of being autistic. Renee drew inspiration from her fondness for turtles and her need for a calming device to navigate life's tough moments. Encouraged by psychologists and counsellors, Renee successfully crowdfunded the Calm Buddi Turtle in partnership with a Sydney-based company dedicated to reducing plastic waste and defying the one-way path into landfill.

Calm Buddi Turtles feature:

  • Soothing curves and traceable edges
  • Silky-smooth underside for rubbing
  • Spiky inner cavity to help with grounding, harm minimisation and pain stimming
  • Shell pattern for added sensory input
  • Flip open-shut shell for extra fidgeting options
  • Keyring attachment for on-the-go comfort

By carrying the Calm Buddi Turtle with you, you'll have a constant companion to help navigate overwhelming situations and find calm in your pocket!

  • Dimensions: 60mm x 38mm x 20mm
  • Weight: 16gm

Please note:

As these are made of 100% recycled plastic, each turtle has unique colour variations. See the images of the possible colour range.

The shell does come off. For easy access for harm minimisation, many users prefer to remove it altogether. If kept on, it may unclip sometimes when opening. This is not a fault, but part of its design.

Materials

100% recycled plastic, sourced from Australia. Manufactured in Sydney.

Care guide

Wipe clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive towels, sponges and cleaning sprays.

Troubleshooting

The shell might clip off if you use it a lot. This is normal and not a fault.

    What I've needed!!

    This and the black finger spikey are the ONLY things to get me to stop picking the skin along my fingers. I'm so relieved to have found something to help finally! The turtle is super cute and the bumps are sharper than I expected but I was worried they weren't going to be sharp enough so I'm super happy about this! Thanks so much!!
