"I got these for my brother who has autism, and he finds them perfect for his sensory needs. They’re cute, durable, and the right size for little hands. A great gift for toddlers!"

"I find that the sensory brush really aids my patients who experience tactile sensory defensiveness. It’s also an effective tool for calming children who may be feeling escalated."

"As someone who tends to pick and scratch at my skin, this brush is a fantastic alternative. It’s super soft, fits well in my small hands, and has vibrant colors. I did notice some dye transfer with the yellow one after about an hour, but it doesn’t bother me. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase!"

"My daughter's therapist suggested this sensory brush, and it has proven to be a great tool when she's feeling anxious. I discovered that using the brush vertically provides a firmer sensation, while horizontal brushing feels very gentle. It’s small and lightweight, perfect for various storage options, whether in the car or at home."

"I bought these for my son, but I ended up using them myself. They provide great sensory relief for both of us, and they look nice enough that I didn't feel silly wearing a children's toy. The string length was just right, and I can confirm their durability after chewing on them."

"I highly recommend these necklaces! I was uncertain about the size since they are modeled on small children, but they fit my 6'2" ASD daughter perfectly. They're easy on her teeth and have really helped with her sensory integration disorder. The quality is excellent, and they are easy to clean. I’m very pleased with my purchase."

"We have a sensory seeker, and these necklaces are fantastic! They’ve lasted us about two years with just a few replacements. While the material is soft and not extremely hard, it’s perfect for my child who prefers that softness. Overall, a great chew option!"

"I bought this for my nephew who has autism, and I’m always on the lookout for toys that keep him engaged. He really enjoys toys with a sensory aspect, especially ones he can touch. This play pad is a great size for him, allowing him to focus without feeling overwhelmed. The gel material is soft and malleable, and there are numerous shapes to push around. I'm really hopeful it will be a hit!"

"My toddler is literally a little vampire! I often get questioned about the bruises on my arms, which are from his playful bites. Thankfully, these teethers have significantly reduced his biting. He doesn't bite when upset; he just enjoys it! After six months of use, they’ve held up well, except for one piece that broke when my older child was playing with it. My toddler prefers to bite rather than wear them, but they're easy to clean and large enough to prevent choking. I'd recommend these to anyone dealing with a biting child!"

"These chewies have been a perfect fit for my sensory-seeking daughter. They’re easy to clean and gentle on her teeth, plus the cute designs are a bonus!"

"I gave some of these to my kids and my wife, who has ADHD. They all love them! However, I did take off a star because my 6-year-old chewed through the feather piece within a day. It’s on the smaller side and could pose a choking hazard."

"I purchased this for my 7-month-old son who was struggling with gagging on solid foods. The long legs of the toy were perfect, preventing it from going too far into his mouth. It has been a success, helping him get accustomed to various textures! He doesn't have teeth yet, but I believe it will be a fantastic addition to our teething supplies when the time comes. Thank you!"

"I bought this item for my classroom students with sensory motor needs. I also had an extra one for my young granddaughter, who loves it and finds it soothing for her gums. The colors are appealing, and I use it for students who tend to bite down on objects. This tool is durable and I often buy extras since they sometimes get misplaced. It's an excellent device with multiple sides for added appeal!"

"My son absolutely loves this teether! He enjoys grabbing one of the spokes, mimicking the way he practices grabbing solids. With three textures available, he always finds the one that calms him. He can chew on it for nearly an hour. It’s also the perfect length for him to gag on it without it going too deep—great practice for eating solids. Plus, it’s a bit bendy, and when he’s not chewing, he experiments with bending it."

"I purchased these for my autism classroom with elementary kids, and they've turned out to be the best chewies I've ever bought! All the children love them as both a chew and fidget toy. My adult autistic son enjoys them as well. They're incredibly stretchy and durable; I've seen no wear despite heavy use. Just a small tip: consider knotting them shorter to prevent swinging accidents. Overall, an amazing product and value!"

Affordable and colorful too!"

"I purchased these for my classroom and found them effective for some students. However, I recommend consulting a doctor first before introducing them. They can be beneficial, but it's essential to explain proper use to prevent misuse. Overall, a good option if the child isn’t a heavy chewer."

"I purchased this for my son, who has a strong need to chew due to being on the spectrum. After trying every other product, I finally decided to invest in these chewies. They are absolutely worth it! I bought three—one for home, one for school, and a backup."

"My daughter, who is just 2, has sensory-seeking behaviors and loves to chew. After trying several brands, I found these to be perfect for her. They show minimal wear, which gives me peace of mind when she uses them at night."
