Chewy Tubes P’ & Q’ Oral Motor Chew Tool – Safe, Non-Toxic, Latex-Free – Durable Therapy Chew for Teething, Sensory & Speech Development

they’ve been great for redirection with my child that is an oral sensory seeker who will put hard toys in their mouth, like die cast cars. It also well for my older child that grinds their teeth when exhausted or not feeling well. The size is perfect for both of them and they have held up well, even against teething. I can easily wash them by hand on the go or in dishwasher at home

Got this set for my oldest who is 20 months old to help with her oral therapy. She tends to chew on the ‘P’ and shares the ‘Q’ with her 7 month old sister. Since my 7 month old is teething the ‘Q’ has been a godsend! She can hold onto the ring and chew on the nub that sticks out of the ‘Q’. Unlike the other Chewy Tubes products (the ‘T’) wherein they are hollow, this set is a solid piece without holes in them-which is great-no worries about food particles getting lodged in it. The set is made of a firm material with smooth silicone like feel to it, but none of the stickiness of silicone. You know, like how lint and randomness likes to stick to silicone? Yeah, don’t have that issue with these. Soft enough to be gentle on baby’s gums, but firm enough to give them something to bite into. Talking about bite, very sturdy too-no bite marks on them. I regularly inspect them to make sure pieces are not starting to tear or get too worn down, but they still look great! I had gotten a set of the Nuk gum massager, and that set is chewed up to bits. The other Nuk set is barely used, and has to be used with constant adult supervision. This P &Q set is awesome, since it’s a lot safer to use-don’t have to worry as much about the children accidentally ramming the whole thing towards the back of their throat. Could they poke their eyes? Yes, but it’s softer and the rounded edges are gentler on their eyelids than the pointed ends of the Nuk set. (I’ve seen them smack their face/eyes with both sets). Let’s not forget they aren’t as coordinated yet so they could poke their eyes with their fingers too (more so the younger one). So a side benefit has been this set helped my youngest with hand, eye, and mouth coordination too! Highly recommend and would get more as gifts to other moms.

We've had a set that has withstood a 5yo sensory seeker with minimal bite marks, but it isn't his preferred chewy. I just bought another set for our 1.5yo and he loves them as much as his older brother. I love that you can put a pacifier strap on either of the letters and clip to the stroller so they won't fall, but kids can still get sensory input without the constant stimulation of a pacifier. Gender neutral colors, definite win. P is great for working on getting in molars and practicing biting and Q's are good for everyday teething/chewing. Everyone needs to mind their P's and Q's!

Baby loves these! She definitely teeths hard on them. They have lasted many rounds in our bottle washer and still look brand new.

Pretty awesome chewing toys for babies. The shape of the P was the best one. Babies love to put the long part of the P into the backs of their mouths where the molars will grow. The only thing that made me take 1 star off was because it was still a little thick for my 6 month old. If it were thinner, it'd be even better to pick up and hold. Not that there was a huge problem picking these up, but thinner would be even more ideal. Good product though. Use them every day even though my baby hasn't teethed yet, but she's in the stage where she puts everything in her mouth to chew so this product helps.

These are the perfect chew toy! The "Q" is wonderful, in my experience, for younger babies. It is easy for them to hold, and the nub is short so they can chew on it with their front teeth and it doesn't gag them. The "P" is great for babies getting those back teeth. My babies held on the to the rounded part and chewed on the long part when getting their back teeth. It's a perfect "go-to" gift as well! I liked that the toy was soft on the gums and not a hard plastic, it's more rubber-like. These have survived two babies and are still in great condition.

The Ps and Qs were recommended to me by my son's daycare. He started biting at 12 months of age, far to young to understand the standard biting protocol at the daycare which is timeout and verbal statement "We don't bite our friends". He was teething at the time which did not help. He does not bite to get stuff, and seemed to bite in times of frustration. He likes to be alone or off to the side of a group, so when the teacher set him into the middle of the class, he would bite while trying to crawl over to another place to sit. He has been wearing the P or Q on a pacifier attacher almost every day at school for several months. Having something available to chew on seems to distract him from chewing on other kids. Now that he is old enough to understand the words "No biting" (18 months), we use the words and give him something to chew on, either the P or Q. He does not have a preference for P or Q and seems to chew on both equally. They are very durable and show basically no wear after almost six months of use during daycare hours only. He does not bite at home or church, so we only use the Ps and Qs at daycare. He is still a biter, but now he is in a class with one other biter and they pretty much bite the Ps and Qs or each other and leave the nonbiting kids alone. Within a week of using the Ps and Qs, our number of bites per day dropped dramatically. My first son never bit anything, but used a pacifier until he was 2. This whole biting situation has been extremely frustrating for us, but the Ps and Qs really seemed to help.

My daughter would only use this teether once I found it. she had tried one at the Early On and really took to it so I ordered some. Took a few days to come but because it’s firmer than most teethers she really felt relief with it. Worth the price.

This is a great chewy tube. My son who had ASD started using it when he started daycare around 3 years. After 1 year it was helpful during his ABA therapy and now he doesn't need them anymore. Other chewy things are expensive. This product has good quality and you get 2.

I like this

This was the second set I've ordered as my daughter loves them. They are strong and built to last. My daughter is 6 with SPD and is highly orally stimulated. This is the only thing that helps her!
