“Let's Talk About Hand Health — and The Biggest Culprit: OUR PHONES”
Phones Are Bad for Hands
It’s 2025 and average phone usage is over 5 hours per person. Safe to say phones are now a part of our lives. Yet every day, millions of people struggle interacting with them using only their hands while simultaneously trying to live life. It’s a constant and frustrating dance of the human hand, leading to carpal tunnel, worsening arthritis, and broken screens— balancing them precariously while cooking, holding them up during long video calls, or running out of space on cluttered counters.
It’s frustrating, inconvenient, and, frankly, exhausting.
How I Finally Stopped Waking Up with Sore Hands & Wrist Pain
I never thought about how much time I spent holding my phone—until my hands started paying the price.
At first, it was just a little discomfort after long FaceTime calls or binge-watching videos in bed. But over time, I started waking up with stiff fingers and an aching wrist. Scrolling through social media felt like a workout for my thumb, and after long work calls, my hand would literally cramp from holding my phone, even after short periods.
I assumed it was just normal wear and tear—something that comes with using a phone all day. But then I learned something shocking:
Holding a phone for extended periods can cause unnecessary strain on the tendons and nerves in your hand, leading to stiffness, soreness, and even long-term issues like "smartphone pinky" and "texting thumb."
That’s when I knew I had to make a change.
Sound familiar?
If so, keep reading — because I found something that changed everything. From a Facebook ad of all places.
The Common “Fixes” That Just Don’t Work
Most of us have tried makeshift solutions:
- Cheap stands that tip over at the slightest bump
- Pop grips that require awkward positioning
- Sticky mounts that lose their grip (and leave ugly residue)
None of them actually make life easier, and certainly not help with wrist strain.
That’s why I started looking for something better.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
After months of frustration, I stumbled upon something different — a mount inspired by nature itself. It’s flexible, secure, and sticks exactly where you need it, every time.
It’s called Tenikle, and it's a gamechanger for your hand health.

Unlike other stands, grips, or mounts, Tenikle uses the power of suction cups and bendable arms to steadily hold your phone in place — hands-free, hassle-free, and virtually anywhere.
Whether I'm Face Timing family, watching videos on Facebook, or following a recipe, Tenikle's flexibility keeps my phone where I need it and my hands free from strain.

How It Works
So what makes Tenikle different from everything else on the market?
Mount it where you need, using the suction cups, flexible legs that wrap, or fix into a secure standing position. Then put your phone in the clip and position where you need to view your screen. And... Viola!
That's it. Easy.
Why is it unique?
- Inspired by Nature — It's inventor modeled the Tenikle after the suction power of an octopus, which lets it securely grip to smooth surfaces like glass, tile, mirrors, and even car windshields.
- Flexible & Adjustable — Unlike rigid stands, Tenikle’s bendable arms let you position your device at the perfect angle.
- Clutter-Free Convenience — Avoid those cluttered countertops and tangled cords. Tenikle keeps your space neat and your device accessible.
- Tested & Trusted — Tenikle claims to have over 100,000 happy customers, and has even been featured on Shark Tank.
The Moment It Clicked for Me
I remember the exact moment I realized I’d never go back to the old way of holding my phone. I was in the kitchen, following a recipe. Instead of struggling to prop my phone up, I stuck my Tenikle to the backsplash, adjusted the angle, and cooked without a single hassle.
From that moment on, I was hooked. And based on the thousands of 5-star reviews, I’m not alone.
Not For Everyone
I gifted one to my sister in-law. Who did NOT have the same great experience I did. I bought them separately around the holidays. Mine shipped in a few days, but hers arrived weeks later missing Christmas which was a disappointment. Strike one.
My sister in-law was grateful for the gift, but told me she struggled to find surfaces that it would stick to, and that it fell from her cabinetry. Strike two, To investigate for myself, I did try to suction to my cabinet as well and it did start to lose a few suction cups. But my cabinets are wood, so I assumed that was it.
All in all, if you use the suction cups on surfaces such as a countertop or glass, it seemed to hold up perfectly fine for most the day until I needed it again.
But in reality, suctioning is not how I found to use it the most, even though it is handy.
Some other reviews:
“I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I got one. Now I use it every single day!” — Sarah J.
“Finally, something that actually WORKS. I use mine in the kitchen, in my car, and even when I’m recording videos!” — James R.
“Saw this on Shark Tank and decided to try it. Honestly, one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time!” — Emily W.
Why You Haven’t Heard of This Before
Maybe you have heard of Tenikle, or seen them on Shark Tank, The View, QVC, and HSN. But not for how they have presented themselves in the market.
Big tech accessory companies keep pushing flimsy phone holders and overpriced grips that don’t actually solve the problem of helping ease wrist strain and improve hand health.
The thing is, Tenikle is no better at marketing it for this problem!
The ad I saw on Facebook was showing it used as a car mount, and a content creator's tripod. But I knew instantly, I had discovered a better use for the Tenikle than how it was intended: to help my sore hands heal!
So many people are switching to Tenikle mounts — and you’re starting to seeing it everywhere now.
They Don't Last Long
The last two times I tried to purchase Tenikle again (yes, I love them that much I keep buying more for different places around our home and office), they were sold out. Even when writing this, the yellow and red are out of stock.
They are never in stock!
I really hope they improve their production, because this could be a great company if they can stay in stock.
