I have the tangle toy and I got it about 2 weeks ago. I bought one before this one and they both seemed to run out of grease between the pieces. It doesn't move very well now and it bothers me. My teachers tangle that she gives to me during class never seems to run out of grease. Any suggestions? I don't know if it's grease but it's some kind of lubricant. My teachers never seems to run out. I have ADHD if that helps at all.

You could try asking your teacher if she puts a lubricant on it, you could try putting a lubricant on yours(like spray some WD40 in it or something) or you could try asking her where she got her's & what exact kind/model/brand it is & then look for that specific one.

I never noticed grease on my tangle toy but you could use baby oil or vaseline.

You could also use a vegetable oil, you just might have to wash it off if it starts to dry up and get sticky.

I personally would never use WD-40 on a fidget toy because it's not meant to be on your skin and because it smells terrible.
