Testing the Monkey Teddy Tiger Teether

One tester said, "As soon as I handed this Teddy Tiger to my son he grabbed it and put it straight in his mouth with a big smile on his face. The tiger is bright and friendly, soft squishy rubber with easy grip handles. The design is simple and perfect for tiny hands. Compared to other teethers that my son has used (and there’s been quite a few) this is by far his favourite, he will always go for this one first.

"It has made my life easier as a parent as it helped my son manage his tooth pain, it keeps him preoccupied biting and chewing it in different ways. This has had a positive effect on me! I am less stressed because he is less stressed, it's super easy to just give it to him and let him bite on it however he likes. I've found I can get more jobs done!"

Another parent agreed that their child was immediately interested in the teether: "Straight away my little girl took the the tiger teether as the colour stood out being so bright. The size of the product is perfect for a little one to hold with one hand or two, making it nice and easy to hold and great for learning hand coordination, passing the teether back and forth to each hand like my little girl did. Very comfortable texture and easy to clean too. Out of the teethers I’ve tried in the past this has been her favourite.

One parent reviewer said, "This Teddy Tiger Teether made my life as a mum easier as by being able to apply teething gel to the head stopped me from using my finger and baby biting my finger. The design and weightlessness makes it easy to clip on to a dummy clip which is a big bonus as it stops it from getting lost. I love that it also fits into all my bags as it’s small and thin.

"This teether has come in handy lots of times, especially when I’m out and about and need a quick, simple distraction that isn’t food. It keeps my son entertained for 10-15 minutes, which is a lot for him! The small size and easy to clip-on shape of the teether make it good for taking out with us. It also has a bright and attractive design which my son loves!"

This mum particularly liked the handles of the teether, "My little girl is just over 1 years old and now has 8 teeth, she’s constantly on the tiger biting down. It’s so easy to strap through a dummy clip too when out in the pram to make sure she doesn’t lose it! I know when I give my little girl the tiger teether she feels comfort and relief.

"The small handle also makes the grip perfect for tiny teething hands. It’s really flexible and perfect for children who are a little more rough or are struggling with their teeth. It provides comfort for children who are in discomfort as the teether is both soft and hard for them to chew on."

Final thoughts

The Teddy Tiger teether comes in many different colours which are bright and exciting for children. The teether is soft and textured providing relief for aching gums. This chew is easy for children to hold onto and can double up as a toy. The teether is easy to clean for parents with a wipe or can be placed in the dishwasher.
