Things that decompress
Things that unwind or help someone unwind.
In the literal sense, unwinders are devices or mechanisms that release material from a spool or coil: The factory installed new unwinders for the paper rolls.
More commonly, unwinders are activities or substances that help a person relax after stress: A glass of wine and a hot bath are my favorite unwinders after a long day.
