Everything You Need to Know About Our Chew Necklaces & Chewelry
Choosing the right chew necklace can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to sensory products. We’ve answered our most common questions below, but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, we’re always happy to help.
What is a chew necklace?
A chew necklace (also known as chewelry) is a wearable sensory aid designed to provide a safe outlet for children and adults who need oral sensory input.
Many people naturally chew clothing, fingers, pencils or other objects. A chew necklace provides a much safer alternative while helping support focus, calm and self-regulation.
Who are chew necklaces suitable for?
Our chew necklaces are suitable for many people including those with:
- Autism (ASD)
- ADHD
- Sensory Processing Differences
- Anxiety
- Oral sensory seeking behaviours
- Additional sensory needs
Many teachers, occupational therapists and parents also use them as part of a sensory toolkit.
Are your chew necklaces safe?
Yes.
Safety is our highest priority.
Our silicone chew necklaces are CE Approved & manufactured using:
✔ 100% Food-Grade Silicone
✔ BPA Free
✔ PVC Free
✔ Phthalate Free
✔ Latex Free
✔ Lead Free
✔ FDA-Compliant Silicone
✔ Breakaway Safety Clasps
Many products are independently tested to recognised safety standards. Please refer to individual product pages for specific compliance information.
Are your products tested?
Where applicable, our products are independently tested by internationally recognised laboratories to relevant safety standards.
If you require compliance documentation for a school, organisation or professional setting, please contact us before purchasing.
Which chew necklace should I choose?
The best chew necklace depends on the individual.
Things to consider include:
• Age
• Chewing strength
• Texture preference
• Shape preference
• Whether the necklace will be used at home, school or work
If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to recommend the most suitable option.
Which chew necklace is best for aggressive chewers?
Some of our chew necklaces are designed for stronger chewers than others.
However, no chew necklace is indestructible.
If someone chews with exceptional force or twists, tears or stretches the product excessively, damage may occur.
For the longest lifespan, choose one of our products specifically recommended for stronger chewers.
How long should a chew necklace last?
There isn’t a fixed lifespan.
This depends entirely on:
- How often it’s used
- Chewing intensity
- Whether it is bitten with the back molars
- Whether it is twisted or stretched
Please inspect chew products regularly and replace them if signs of wear or damage appear.
Can my child wear a chew necklace all day?
Many children wear their chew necklace throughout the day.
However, they should always be supervised where appropriate and the necklace should be removed during sleep.
Are the breakaway clasps designed to break?
No.
The clasp is designed to release under sudden pressure to reduce the risk of injury.
It is a safety feature, not a fault.
Can the necklace be chewed by adults?
Absolutely.
Many adults with autism, ADHD or anxiety find chew necklaces extremely helpful for:
- Managing stress
- Improving concentration
- Reducing nail biting
- Replacing pen chewing
- Self-regulation
We stock a range of more discreet styles specifically suited to teenagers and adults.
How do I clean my chew necklace?
Most silicone chew necklaces can be cleaned using:
- Warm soapy water
- Mild detergent
- Top rack of the dishwasher (where stated on the product page)
Always refer to the individual care instructions supplied with your product.
Are fabric chew necklaces washable?
Yes.
Most fabric chew necklaces can be machine washed or hand washed according to the care instructions supplied with the product.
Allow them to dry completely before reuse.
Are your products suitable for teething babies?
Some products, such as our breastfeeding necklaces, are designed to be handled by babies while feeding.
However, our chew necklaces are not toys and are generally intended for older children, teenagers and adults unless otherwise stated.
Always supervise babies and young children.
Do you offer chew necklaces for schools?
Yes.
Many schools, SEN departments and occupational therapists purchase from us.
If you require larger quantities or advice, please contact us.

Do you ship throughout the UK?

What is your returns policy?
If you’ve changed your mind, you may be entitled to return your order in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
For hygiene and safety reasons, products that have been used, chewed, or are no longer in a resaleable condition cannot normally be resold.
Full details can be found on our Returns Policy page.
Can I return a chew necklace if my child has used it?
Unfortunately, once a chew product has been used, chewed or is no longer in a resaleable hygienic condition, we are generally unable to accept it for return unless it is faulty.
