Nuby Wrist Pal review

Teething is always tough, but the Nuby Wrist Pal is a great tool to make it as easy as possible. The soft, smooth material is ideal for soothing sore gums, and it's perfect for your little one to chomp on when they're feeling the dreaded ache. The brilliant wearable design helps keep it in your baby's grip, and it's super simple to sterilise too, which is a fantastic plus.

Awards

The Nuby Wrist Pal won Silver for Best Teething Product in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. The design is absolutely superb, allowing your child to grip onto it when they like but saving the teether from hitting the floor when they let go. It's nice and comfy on the wrist and so much easier to reuse than a standard teether thanks to the unique design and quick sterilisation process. Still not sure if it's for you? Check out what our Mother & Baby testers thought when they tried the product with their own little ones - read on below!

Testing

The Wrist Pal was really appreciated by our parent testers, thanks in part to the easy to clean design. "It's really easy to wash as there's no sections that are closed off, it's so easy to transport with you, and can be put on their wrist without fear it will be thrown aside," revealed one happy mum. Another tester told us that "the overall design is great as it can be washed and sterilised, and it’s very durable considering my little one has used it for at least the past 10 weeks with lots of washing!"

The adorable design also really impressed! A pleased parent told us "I really liked this teething toy, the bright green colour was great for my daughter to spot and focus on," while another mum went so far as to call it "literally the best teether on the market!" - she told us that "this little koala has been the one of the most used products over the past few months," and claimed that "the product is so well designed for little ones and little hands that can’t quite grasp yet".

"The fact it comfortably sits around the wrist but still has a handle for babies to grasp is very innovative - something I’ve not seen on the market with other brands. It’s such a good price considering the amount of use it gets and how great the quality is," revealed a very satisfied parent. This smart design really helps ease the frustration of a teething child struggling to grip onto the Wrist Pal, with another mum telling us she "loved the fact you can just pop it around his wrist, it stays on and feels safe on his hand," calling it "great when your little one has a habit of throwing things on the floor!"

It does the job of soothing your little one's achey mouth well too - a parent said that "the softness of the Wrist Pal is great for our little one, especially if he’s having an extra sensitive tooth day. It’s gentle on his sore gums but also manages to relieve any teething pain". Another mother reported: "When I first gave this to my child she instantly began to chew on this. The material was soft for her gums and really helped her with her teething". It's great to hear that the kids love it too!

Final verdict

Overall, it's a superb product that is well designed, easy to clean and benefits your baby's sore gums, making it well worth the price. In fact, one mum even told us "I absolutely LOVE this and would easily buy two or three - I will definitely be getting them as gifts for parents I know with little ones!" - you can't get a better recommendation than that!
