The Teether, the first toy for babies.

When babies start teething, they may feel discomfort in their gums. At this stage, teething toys can help alleviate this discomfort. Additionally, these toys aid in soothing the baby's emotions, improving hand-eye coordination, and promoting intellectual development. Now let's explore how to choose a safe and suitable teething toy for young babies.

Common materials

The silicone used in teether products is an inorganic polymer colloid material that is safe, odorless, chemically stable, and offers the advantages of being soft, highly elastic, resistant to deformation, heat-resistant, wear-resistant, and electrically insulating. Its exceptional quality combined with a short production cycle and high productivity make it the preferred choice for teether products currently available on the market.

The TPE is an environmentally friendly thermoplastic elastomer that is non-toxic, easy to color, and has a smooth and soft texture. It can be coated or bonded with plastic materials such as PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS (secondary injection), or molded separately.

The polymer material EVA is well-known for its strong flexibility, resistance to chemical corrosion, and excellent elasticity. It has the advantage of being able to undergo secondary molding, making it a popular choice in the production of water-filled teethers.

Factors to consider when purchasing teethers

In addition to inspecting the certifications, labels, materials, etc. of teething toys, it is also important to pay attention to the following aspects as teething toys are designed for young babies to put in their mouths.

Check if the structure is safe: When checking the safety of teething toys, it is important to pay attention to the size and shape of the tips and ends. If they are too small or long, there is a risk that babies may choke or gag on them while sucking or biting. Avoid choosing teething toys with small objects or ones that can be assembled to prevent the risk of babies swallowing them accidentally.

Ensure tear resistance: The teether should be able to withstand long periods of use and frequent biting by babies without any breakage or damage, in order to prevent the risk of choking from accidentally ingesting detached parts.
