Medium Firm Hand-Held Chews for Normal Chewers

5.0 from 5 ratings

Medium Firm density, sold as a single piece rather than a set. This is the band for a child who mouths things without trying to bite through them.

$9.99

Most of this category is built for the loud end of the problem, the child who eats sleeves and destroys pencils. A lot of children chew quietly instead: a shirt collar during homework, a hood string on the bus. Handing them Xtra Tough silicone is unpleasant and they stop using it. Medium Firm gives under a tooth, which is what that child is after.

Construction matches the rest of the hand-held line, raised block texture on the front and inverted tread on the back, food grade silicone with no BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates or latex. Our one year replacement covers this listing too.

Dishwasher or soapy water.

Where it fits

  • Quiet, steady chewers rather than destructive ones

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.
