Teethers

Teethers and chew pendants help babies, toddlers, and older kids who need something safe and satisfying to bite, chew, or fidget with their mouth. Our range is mostly Jellystone Designs — Australian-designed silicone chew pendants in playful shapes — plus a few Sensory Support basics like chew bands and slap bands. All are food-grade silicone, all are dishwasher-safe, all are non-toxic.

Who's this range for?

• Babies (0-12 months) who are teething. Customers tell us textured pendants are easier for small hands to grip than traditional teething rings.
• Toddlers (1-3 years) who put everything in their mouth. Breakaway-clasp pendants give them a safe, dedicated thing to chew on.
• Sensory-seeking kids who need oral input to settle. Chew wrist bands are popular at school for this reason.
• Older kids and teens who chew clothing collars, pen lids, or hair. A discreet wrist band or pendant is a much better outlet.
• Adults who want something to chew during stressful moments. Pendants designed to look like jewellery rather than baby toys are the popular pick.

How to choose

The range covers different ages, chew strengths, and styles:

• For a baby (under 12 months): smaller pendant shapes for tiny hands.
• For a toddler: larger, brighter pendant shapes that are easier to find when dropped.
• For a school-age kid who chews collars: chew wrist bands or slap bands — discreet enough for the classroom.
• For a strong chewer: the heavier-textured Jellystone shapes hold up to harder use; we also stock dedicated bite bands built tougher.
• For a teen or adult: design-led pendant shapes that don't read as baby items.

Common questions about teethers and chews

Are these safe for babies?

Yes — all silicone in this range is food-grade, BPA-free, PVC-free, and non-toxic. The Jellystone pendant clasps are specifically designed to break away under pressure to prevent strangulation risk.

How do I clean them?

Top-rack dishwasher safe, or wash in warm soapy water. Silicone holds up to hot water with no special care. Air-dry.

How long do they last?

For most users, indefinitely. Strong chewers may eventually wear through the surface texture — when that happens, replace. Silicone doesn't break down or shed pieces the way some plastic teethers do.

What's the difference between a teether and a chew necklace?

The terms are mostly interchangeable. "Teether" suggests babies and infant teething; "chew necklace" or "chew pendant" suggests older kids, teens, and adults. Same materials, different ages of customer reaching for them. Our Chew Necklaces Australia complete guide goes deeper into how to choose.

Are these NDIS funded?

Many NDIS plan managers will fund chew tools and oral motor products as low-cost assistive technology. We're no longer NDIS registered, but you can purchase from us and claim through your plan manager.

What pairs well with a chew necklace?

For school-age kids: pair with hand fidgets for sustained focus. For sensory-overload moments: pair with hearing protection. For bedtime chewers: a weighted blanket often reduces the need for the chew band by helping the body settle. See related categories: Fidget Toys, Hearing Protection, Chew & Oral Sensory.
