Nuby Silicone Teethe eez Bristles Hygienic Reviews Summary

Texture and Design

Pros:

• "The little bristles are very soft and he loves chewing on them."
• "It is soft with a jelly-like texture, and it has fine silicone bristles on the end."
• "Baby loves the little finger extensions on the end because they massage the gums."
• "The nubby silicone texture provides soothing relief for teething discomfort."
• "The texture on the ends is nice against the gums."
• "The super soft 100% silicone fish-shaped design is not only adorable but also provides multiple teething surfaces, offering relief during the eruption of new teeth."
• "The bristles massage her gums in a way the other toys couldn’t."

Cons:

• "It is way too big for her mouth."
• "This isn't good for small babies my granddaughter started teething at 3 months got this and it's so big."
• "The teether is also too wide for her mouth, which is about one third of the teether's width."
• "Because of the strange shape of the teether my 5 m.o pushes the side into his mouth and then starts gagging because it's too deep into his mouth."
• "The only downside is that those little spikes are hair magnets and we have pets, so that's a bit tough to clean since they need to be pulled out (they don't just rinse out)."
• "The only negative is that the bristles pick up dust or hair if dropped on the ground."
• "Downfall is that it collects every hair or lint if dropped."

Safety and Materials

Pros:

• "I'm also pleased to note that the teether is BPA-free, providing peace of mind regarding the safety of the materials used."
• "Doesn’t taste like plastic and the brushes are soft enough not to hurt."
• "Since the teether is made of medical grade silicone, it is a breeze to rinse off in a pinch and sterilize from time to time for deeper cleaning."
• "They're made of silicone, so they last a long time."
• "It is not a choking hazard and non toxic!"

Cons:

• "Not sure why they would sell a teething product that is so fragile, when small parts could break off that baby would then end up swallowing or, god forbid, inhaling."
• "The bristles fall off after some use. AKA go straight in your babies mouth."
• "Baby loved it but developed cracks and bristles started breaking off within two days of use."
