Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to traditional silicone pacifiers, the Natursutten Orthodontic Natural Rubber Pacifier stands out due to its softer density and lack of chemical stabilizers or dyes. Unlike plastic-based models, natural rubber creates a chemical-free seal that is more flexible against a baby's sensitive skin. It provides a more tactile experience than synthetic alternatives, though it requires replacement more frequently than medical-grade silicone due to the natural degradation of organic rubber.

What to know before buying

1. Before first use, sterilize the pacifier in boiling water for five minutes.
2. Inspect the nipple before every use by pulling it in all directions to check for tears.
3. Replace the pacifier every 6-8 weeks for hygiene and safety as the rubber darkens.
4. Hand wash only with mild soap; do not put natural rubber in the dishwasher.
5. Expect the rubber to have a slight natural scent that fades after the first few washes.

Sustainability & ethics

Natursutten sources their primary material from sustainably managed rubber plantations in Malaysia, ensuring the sap collection does not harm the trees or the surrounding ecosystem. Because the product is 100% natural rubber, it is fully biodegradable, addressing the massive waste problem created by disposable plastic pacifiers. The production process in Italy adheres to strict European labor and safety standards, emphasizing a low-carbon footprint through regional manufacturing for the Western market.
