When it comes to chewelry, silicone isn’t the only option — and for many people, it’s not even the best one. That’s where fabric chew necklaces come in.
Handmade from soft, upcycled t-shirt materials, these colourful braided necklaces offer a gentler alternative for those who need to chew for sensory input, anxiety relief, or emotional regulation. Whether you’re a parent of a child who chews their sleeves, or an adult seeking a more discreet oral stim, fabric chewelry might just be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed.
🧠 Why Choose Fabric Over Silicone?
Silicone is great — it’s durable, easy to clean, and stylish. But some people, especially mild chewers, find it too firm or even uncomfortable. Fabric chew necklaces are:
- Soft on the teeth and gums
- Comforting to wear all day
- Less noticeable in public or school settings
- Ideal for oral sensory seekers who don’t need a firm chew
The texture mimics what many children naturally seek — sleeves, collars, hoodie strings — but in a safe, washable, wearable form.
🌱 Gentle on the Planet, Too
Our fabric chew necklaces are handmade from clean, repurposed t-shirt materials, making them a low-waste, eco-friendly alternative to traditional chewelry. Not only are you supporting neurodivergent needs — you’re helping reduce textile waste too. That’s a win for your family and the environment.
👶 Who Are Fabric Chew Necklaces Best For?
✔️ Children with autism or ADHD who chew clothing
✔️ Teens who want a discreet sensory aid

🧼 Easy to Use, Easy to Clean
Worried about hygiene? Don’t be. These fabric necklaces can be:

- Machine washed (we recommend placing them in a laundry bag)
- Air dried quickly and easily
They’re durable enough for daily use, yet soft enough to soothe.
