Xtra Tough Arch Hand-Held Chews, 3 Pack

The arch version of the hand-held: a wide open handle rather than a closed ring, with the same ribbed shaft and the same Xtra Tough density. Three to a pack.

$9.99$3.33 a piece

An arch takes a whole small hand where a narrow loop takes two fingers. For a child who holds things in a full fist, that is the difference between a piece that stays put and one that keeps sliding out. The outer edge of the arch carries raised bumps, so the handle gives feedback too.

Everything below the handle matches the loop set: a ribbed shaft with no correct orientation, Xtra Tough silicone at level four of our six bands, food grade and free of BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates and latex.

Three pieces in pink, purple and fuchsia. Mild soapy water or the dishwasher, with a thorough clean before first use.

Where it fits

Full-fist grip rather than a two-finger hook
Replacing a worn Xtra Tough hand-held set

One caveat

New listing with no ratings. Unlike the loop set, this one does not carry the year replacement in its listing, so treat it as a piece you may have to buy again if it is chewed through.

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.
