Y Hollow Chew Tubes, 2 Pack
A Y shaped hollow tube: three arms, and a fork that gives small hands somewhere to grip.
Hollow Chew Tubes, 2 Pack
Our original hollow tube, sold in twos, and by review count the most bought thing we make. Walls are thin and squeezable rather than solid.
$9.99
A hollow tube behaves nothing like a solid stick. Press it and the walls collapse and spring back, which gives a gum a wide soft surface instead of a hard edge. That is what puts this at the teething end of the range rather than the oral motor end. We registered the shape in the US under design patent D/755,815.
It goes in the freezer or the fridge. Cold silicone on sore gums is the reason a lot of these get bought in the first place, and it is a property none of our solid chews have.
Cleaning is easier than on the textured sticks: dishwasher, or soap and warm water. Nothing traps inside the tube if you rinse it through.
Where it fits
- Teething, where the point is cold and give rather than resistance
- Small hands that cannot grip a flat stick yet
One caveat
Hollow walls are the softest thing here. A child who has already chewed through soft silicone will get through these quickly, and torn silicone is a choking risk. Retire a tube at the first split.

Replace it before it breaks
Silicone that has been chewed for months splits along the bite line, and a torn piece can be swallowed. Bend the chew before each use and look at the creases. Throw it out at the first tear rather than at the first hole.
