Chewing on plastic

Post Reply New Topic

I used to buy small pieces of this plastic stuff from the craft department and that was the best thing I found to chew, but I didn't do that very often because I was afraid it might hurt me. I also chewed on pen caps and those silicone bracelets that used to be popular a few years ago, and my nails. I have managed to stop most of that now except once in the while, but I would like to find something safe to chew because I still have that urge when I see things that look nice to chew.

Apologies for posting so long after the previous post, but I tend to chew on pen tops, you the type you get with BIC pens, ( it is easy to find my pens)

i have also chewed on mu calculator case as well.

Not surprising I have issues with chipped front teeth!! !!

I also chew on straws.

If the person swallows it intentionally(ie. eats plastic) the behavior is called Pica.
Do you just chew it or do you eat it?
