Skull Pendant - Veteran - Chew Necklace for Sensory, Oral Motor, Anxiety, Autism, ADHD

BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!! That is - if your child doesn't wind up misplacing it! Honestly I think he does just so I'd wind up having to buy more (ha!) Gone are the days of sloppy wet tshirts, gone are the days of holey tshirts.My son is a shirt chewer - big time. Everyday, when he comes home from school, the front of his shirt is soaked through and sometimes even holes have appeared in the collar of his shirt. At home - he chews and chews on the collar of his shirt. Finally his OT mentioned I should try out chewy necklaces and I wanted to find something that was not too tough that can hurt his teeth or too easy for him to rip apart with his teeth. This skull necklace was perfect! I will be buying more of these for my kiddo! He loves these because it reminds him of a video game he enjoys playing!This product was a personal purchase for myself at the normal retail price. I am reviewing it solely because I want to share my experience with other potential customers. I have received no compensation for my review nor do I have any relationship with the seller or manufacturer of this product.

I have a 5 year old child who has oral sensory needs. I purchased this product at the recommendation of his therapist to aid us in transitioning him from chewing on himself or other items that should not be chewed on or placed in the mouth at all. He has an obsession with Halloween and anything spooky, so this fit the bill! It is very thick and made from a high quality material. It is also textured in parts, which he likes. The size is a good size for an item like this. If it were to come off of the string, he would not be able to choke on it. I was worried about him wearing a chewing necklace to school because of the chance other children would make comments. However, we have received nothing but compliments!Overall great product!!

LOVE this. My son has SPD (sensory seeking) and will chew his shirt collars or even on his fingers. Having a chew necklace helps him to focus, and this particular necklace is his favorite. He likes to put the entire pendant in his mouth and it's not large enough to set off choking or gagging. Also, it has two textures - one side is smooth while the other is lightly nubbed. I purchased a packet of the break-away necklace strings as backup, so that I can make sure he always has his necklace with him. Oh - clean up is super easy because it's made of silicone. Silicone rubber will not support the growth of fungus, mold or bacteria. To clean simply wash with a mild soap and water.

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because my son hates the plastic snap clasp on the back. The skull itself is perfect. I needed to curb my son's new appetite for the front of his shirts. He'd leave for school looking oh so dapper and come home looking like a swarm of moths had eaten his shirt, stretched out his collar, and dumped water down his shirt. He's an 8 yr old Aspie. He's had this necklace for a bit and only just realized he can nibble off little chucks. I can tell it's going to be a while before I have to replace it. It also looks nice, goes with his clothes (it holes too just like his drawer full of brand new clothes), and no one questions him like they did with this bright red, t shaped, handheld teether he had before.

I bought this for my 8 year old son who has ADHD. He was chewing a zillion pieces of gum throughout the day and I didn't want him having all of that fake sugar, so I got him this instead. It looks cool (I mean, it IS a skull!), and no one knows what it's for. He can chew on it or fidget with it while he's doing his work and having something like that seems to help him stay focused. Being BPA-free was an important selling point for me.

This product has been a big help for me. It gives me an appropriate outlet to certain anxious feelings, as well as providing some entertainment while I do the things I need to do. It doesn't make noise, it's discreet (some people ask me why I'm chewing on a piece of jewelry, and are surprised when I tell them that's what it's made for) and it's durable. I've used it and washed it a considerable amount, and there are still no signs of damage at all.

Made in China. Misleading because the company is called Chewigem USA. But the package clearly says “made in China.” Not cool.

Works wonders for children with sensory needs...especially the chewers! My son wears his chewelry to school and no longer chews his shirt, sleeves, pencils, wrist, etc. He is more focused and better behaved. He also has pencils with chewable ends on them that really help too.
