Chewy Donut necklace

A donut-shaped chew pendant is a type of chewable jewelry, or "chewelry," that provides a safe and discreet way for individuals to receive oral sensory input. The design is both visually appealing and functional, making it a popular choice for children and adults who have sensory processing needs.

The act of chewing can be a powerful self-regulation tool. It provides deep pressure to the jaw, which can have a calming effect on the nervous system. For people with conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder, this can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and manage sensory overload.

Donut-shaped pendants, like other chewelry, are typically made from safe, food-grade silicone that is free of harmful chemicals such as BPA, latex, and phthalates. The soft, yet durable material is designed to withstand chewing and is easy to clean with warm, soapy water.

The benefits of a donut-shaped chew pendant include:

• Discreetness: The design looks like a stylish piece of jewelry, allowing the user to meet their sensory needs without drawing unwanted attention.

• Safety: It provides a safe alternative to chewing on unsafe or non-food items like clothing, pencils, or fingers.

   

  Tactile Input: The smooth, round shape and firm texture provide satisfying tactile and proprioceptive input, which can be very calming and organizing for the sensory system.

   

  Portability: Worn as a necklace, the pendant is always accessible, providing a convenient way to self-regulate wherever the user is.
