We all naturally want the best for our little ones. But making decisions on the best baby products to buy or add to your baby registry can be difficult when there are so many options, and so many opinions! Products designed to do the same thing, but all come with slightly different features can be incredibly confusing for parents!
Here are the simple reasons why Matchstick Monkey is a great teether, and what exactly makes it different from other teething toys on the market.
Strategic bumps
One of the most recognizable things about Matchstick Monkey is the strategically placed bumps on the back of our cute characters' heads. These bumps are there for two important reasons.
The bumps provide a satisfying texture to chew on, especially when placed at the site of a soon-to-erupt new tooth!
The shape and placement of the bumps reach all the way back in baby's mouth, which is much more preferable to having your finger chomped on accidentally, right?!
Easy to clean and sterilize
All of the Matchstick Monkey teethers are easy to clean and sterilize. They’re perfectly suitable for steam or cold water sterilization, and you can even pop them in the dishwasher! Since kids love to throw things on the floor wherever they are, easy cleaning is essential.
Also, as none of our teethers are hollow, they’re safe from bacteria or mold building inside of them. Matchstick Monkey baby teethers are robust enough to be chewed, bathed and thrown as much as your baby desires!
Easy to hold
Matchstick Monkey is designed specifically for little hands, helping babies develop motor skills from an early age. The slim but strong arms and tail provide plenty of surface area to hold on to while your little one navigates it into their mouth to chew.
Antimicrobial technology
All Matchstick Monkey products contain BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology which is mixed in with the silicone during manufacturing and prevents the growth and spreading of bacteria and viruses on the surface of the product. It makes our teethers hygienically cleaner than any other product on the market. It is not just a coating, which can wear off, but it lasts for the entire time your little one is using the teether! Perfect for when you’re on the go.
You can still steam and cold water sterilize these teethers. They’re also dishwasher safe and fridge friendly.
Food grade silicone
All Matchstick Monkey teething characters are made from solid FDA approved food-grade silicone. They’re completely safe for little ones to chew to their heart’s content. Food-grade silicone is a non-toxic polymer made mainly from silica (sand). It doesn’t react with other materials or elements and doesn’t produce gas or leach chemicals.
It’s uniquely appealing
The wide range of colors, playful characters and overall design of Matchstick Monkey teething toys are designed to appeal to children. Sitting on a table, or being grasped by a tiny hand, these teethers are adorable as well as practical, and are sure to be your little one's favorite toy that will help you all get through teething as pain free as possible! 🙌
