Our necklaces were designed from a desire to create a chew necklace that not only meets the nuanced sensory needs of neurodiverse children, but also acknowledges our role as creators in ensuring our product is sustainable and Earth conscious.
Across the market, such necklaces are traditionally made from silicone, which results in a rigid and hard product that can be harsh on developing teeth. The innate properties of natural rubber however creates a chew necklace that is superior in functionality, offering a strong, flexible and chewy pendant that offers children hours of genuine sensory input. The natural rubber pendant also is biodegradable.

Care Instructions:
- Easy to clean with mild soap and warm water
- Compostable pendant and biodegradable cotton cord
- Do not expose to direct sunlight and keep away from direct heat sources
- As our pendants are made from a natural biodegradable material, over much time and through continued use, the material will begin to breakdown. We recommend regular inspection of your necklace to monitor for natural and expected wear and tear
- Due to the soft and malleable property of natural rubber, our necklaces are most suited to mild chewers.
How do I recycle my necklace?
There are two phases to the end-of-life disposal of your necklace. Simply cut the cotton cord and clasp free from the pendant and return to us using the postage-paid envelope that we have provided. We will then recycle these via our TerraCycle® Zero Waste Boxes.
The biodegradability of the natural rubber pendant is maximised through hot composting. Avoid disposing your pendant into household waste, as the omission of oxygen circulation in landfill would impact its biodegradability. If you do not feel comfortable with the hot compost process, you can return the entirety of your necklace to us for proper disposal.
FAQs
Are the necklaces safe for people with a latex allergy?
The natural rubber that our necklaces are created from is sourced from the latex sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis tree.
It is the latex protein within this sap that causes the allergic reaction in some individuals, usually over repeated exposure over many years. For anyone with a known latex allergy there is no “safe” level of exposure to this protein and therefore for those with a known allergy, we cannot recommend the use of our product. However, we take the safety and wellbeing of our users as our primary focus and have had our pendants independently laboratory tested in the USA. Under the ASTM D6499 testing standard the level of antigenic protein within our pendant was certified below the level of detection.
How can I clean my necklace?
We recommend you wash your new necklace with soapy water and air dried prior to first use. Our necklaces are not dishwasher safe, and should not be sterilised, boiled, microwaved or frozen.
