Xtra Tough Chew Sticks, 2 Pack (Blue and Green)
Two sticks, four textures each, and the cheapest way into the Xtra Tough band.
Xtra Tough Hand-Held Chews, 3 Pack
Hand-held pieces rather than sticks or necklaces, in the Xtra Tough band, three to a pack. We replace this set for a year if a child chews through it.
$9.99
A hand-held chew is shaped to be gripped in a fist and brought to the mouth, which suits a child who fidgets with their hands as much as their jaw. The front is the building block texture, raised in a grid. The back is the inverted tread. Between them the piece gives something to do with fingers while it is not in use.
Black hides wear in a way the bright colours do not, which cuts both ways. It looks new for longer and it also hides the split you should have spotted.
The replacement runs for a year from purchase. Start a claim from the order on the retailer side, or write to us and we will pick it up from there.
Dishwasher or hand wash.
Where it fits
- Hand fidgeting alongside chewing
- Older children who want something that does not look like a toy
One caveat
The average rating on this set sits at 4.0, lower than the tubes. Read a handful of the one-star reviews before buying, since most of them are about how long it lasted rather than what arrived.

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.
Near it on the scale
Same band first, then the shape, then one step either side.
