The Emotichew is ever popular due to its stimability AND its secret communication powers.
The design for this came from the requirement to make a product that helped with letting the world know how you were feeling without having to speak. The red side implies leave me be, and the green side indicates you are happy to be engaged with. They also have debossed writing saying ‘ Talk to me’ or ‘leave me be’.
We drew inspiration from charity bands, they go unnoticed everywhere. They blend in. Charity bands would not withstand the level of chewing we see. The other benefit of a charity band is they are great to fidget with. You can squish them and play with them, making them by accident quite a nice stim aid in their own right. But they lack the strength required for our community.
This bangle was so popular we have it available in a range of other flippable colours not just red and green so you can create your own secret code. You can find these here.
This concept is now adored by parents, partners, educators and professionals and makes this product an absolutely essential item in the Chewigem originals range.
When facing sensory overload it can be a challenge to explain how you feel. This bangle available in both child and adult size removes that barrier. Similar to traffic lights it sends a simple visual message that lets those around you know when you wish to be left alone or are open to communication and contact. Allowing you to control your interactions, explain your emotions and send a message without having to verbally communicate.
Teachers report this is a very useful tool, allowing them to see at a glance how a pupil is managing and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
“The emotichew is great for people who struggle with communicating their feelings but also is useful for other people to know how you are feeling.”
If you don’t like red and green then our other range of child and adult flip bangles can work in exactly the same way, you just need to decide which colour means and let those around you know. Find those here.

How to care for a Chewigem without a cord (e.g. Fidgets, handhelds & bangles)
You can wash these using any of the below options:
Chewigem’s with a cord (e.g. pendants & 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.
The clasp on the cords is plastic and cannot cope with high heat and risks melting which is why we suggest the cord be removed.
This is simple, snap the breakaway clasp apart, pull the clasp back down the cord to reveal the knot, untie the knot and slide the clasp off this should allow you to take the cord off the pendant. 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.
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.
