Texture and Shape Preferences
-
Babies often chew on pacifier handles or rings before teething.

Teethers with thoughtfully varied thicknesses are more satisfying and effective, as those too thin or too thick can be challenging for babies to chew.

Long, rod-shaped designs are particularly appealing to younger babies.
Handle Shape Benefits
-
Dual handles and long handles improve grip and usability.
-
Bracelet-style teethers prevent dropping but may seem fragile to parents.

-
Some teethers are prone to mold, even after sterilization.
