Teethers

For which age ranges are our different teethers suitable?

All our teethers are tested from 3 months to 3 years, however we do recommend certain teethers for certain ages. Our Teething Starter Set is the perfect place to start as it includes a Flat Face Teether, Animal Teether and Silicone Finger Toothbrushes which each can be used at different stages of the teething journey. Have a look at our teether collection page for more information.

Can I apply teething gels with the Original Teething Toy?

Yes, the textured bumps keep teething gel in place and get products right to the source of the pain without being nipped by tiny teeth. They're great at reaching the hard to reach backgums and The Animal and Monkey Teethers are also great to apply teething gels!

What are our teethers made from? Are they BPA free?

Yes. Our teethers are made from high quality food-grade, non-toxic silicone and are BPA free.

What is BioCote®?

BioCote® is an Antimicrobial Technology which is mixed in with the silicone during manufacturing and prevents the growth and spreading of bacteria and viruses on the surface of the product. It makes our teethers hygienically cleaner than any other product on the market. It is not just a coating, which can wear off, but it lasts for the entire time your little one is using the teether!

How long should I use my teether for?

You can use your teether for the entire time your child is teething. Just make sure you give it a regular clean.

Can I reuse my teether for my second child?

No. We don't recommend reusing your teether for another child.

How long does shipping take?

Depending on where you are based our shipping takes between 5-14 days. Have a look at our shipping and return policy for more details.

How do I exchange a product from my order?

Can I place the teether in the freezer?

All our teethers are suitable to be placed in the fridge and freezer. However, please note that the NHS in the UK does not recommend placing teethers in the freezer.

Can I sterilise the teether carry case?
