How the range is put together
How CANAY assigns a firmness band, what the pack sizes mean, and why some products carry a rating and some do not.
What is on this site
Everything we currently sell that is in stock and priced. Nineteen products. Nothing is hidden for a low rating and nothing is pushed for a high one, because a range this size cannot hide anything anyway.
How a band gets assigned
The band is decided at the mix, not afterwards, and it goes into the product name in brackets. This site reads that bracket in a fixed order: XXT first, then Toughest, then hollow construction, then Medium Firm, then Standard, then Xtra Tough.
The order matters because our own older names were not careful. One product is headed "Extra Tough Sensory Oral Motor Chew Tool" and then carries "(Standard - Moderate Chewer)" at the end. The bracket is the specification and the headline was marketing, so the bracket wins. We are fixing the names as products get refreshed.
Pack sizes
Pack size is taken from the bracket in the name rather than from the unit count field, which is wrong on at least one of our listings: it reports a single count for a set of two sticks. Another thing on the list to fix.
Ages
Ages are set by shape. The hollow tubes are the teething line and everything solid is three and up. Where an older listing gives a wider range in its bullets, ignore it and take the higher number.
Ratings
Star ratings and review counts come from the retail listing and are shown as they are, including the ones that do us no favours. Two products have fewer than ten ratings between them and say so on their pages, because five stars from five people is not information.
We do not reproduce review text anywhere on this site. If you want to read what buyers wrote, the listing is one click away.
