The board & Toggle pendant was designed with finger chewers and thumb suckers in mind!
A common stim and habit people wish to redirect is sucking and chewing fingers. And this is how this product came about. We wanted to replicate the length and feel of a finger, but without it looking like a finger and I think we nailed it! Inspiration was combined with a mix of surf and skateboards. Another need we had fed back was for chewers who like to chew with their molars, some product shapes make reaching the molars a challenge, and this product works for that style of chewing too. However, not everyone wanted this on a pendant cord so we include a toggle strap which is a simple multifunctional strap that can work on zippers, school bags, keys and buttonholes.
90% of people say Chewigem reduces their anxiety
Whether at school or work, you can adjust this cord to a shorter length, and when the urge comes to suck or nibble a finger, redirect yourself to the board pendant and break that habit. With perseverance join the thousands who have successfully managed this.

Once damaged, Chewigem should be discarded and replaced.
All products through chewing will eventually show signs of wear and tear. How long that depends on a variety of factors and it can take time to find the right product for you.
As a general guide, refer to the lifespan tables for an indication of longevity.
Check regularly for damage.

How to care for a Chewigem without a cord (e.g. Fidgets, handhelds & bangles)
You can wash these using any of the below options:
For further information please refer to our Caring for your Chewigem guide which gives lots of information on looking after your Chewigem and prolonging its life.
Chewigem’s with a cord (e.g. pendants, Toggles & necklaces)
With the cord on you can wash your Chewigem’s:
with the cord removed:
By removing the cord the silicone section can be washed in the same way as a cordless product above.
Parts of the toggle strap are plastic and cannot cope with high heat and risks melting which is why we suggest the cord be removed.
This is simple, just unloop from the board. Once washed, reverse the process, reattach the cord, slide the clasp down onto the cord, tie a knot at the end and slide the clasp back up over the knot.
In short, we promise:
This should remove any concerns you have about giving us a go, there really is no risk to you at all. Only the opportunity to find the solution you have been looking for!
