Product Description

DISCREET CHEW TOOL - Chewing is a healthy and common way to calm, focus, and self-regulate (especially for individuals with sensory needs, such as those with autism). The Brick Stick by ARK gives you the opportunity to safely satisfy your chewing need. It is a great design for boys and girls, as well as For the ultimate in discretion, the necklace looks just like a regular necklace. Become more alert and out of your comfort zone by using it as an alternative to chewing on fingers, nails, pencils, shirts, etc. Recommended for ages 5
PENDANT SIZE & SENSORY DETAILS - The pendant is covered in large bumps on the front side. There are small bumps on the back side. It is a varied sensory experience with lots of tactile input thanks to these different textures. It is approximately two inches wide and two inches long. I am five inches long, five inches wide, and one and a half inches The size of this mouth makes it easier for most people to reach their back molars and chew (the area where chewing is most needed and where it provides the greatest proprioceptive feedback).
It comes in 3 toughness levels that are color-coded for each chew featuring the Ark brand. The last level is a blue pendant that is very firm (the most rigid) yet It is typically best for those who are moderate to avid chewers, although each person is different. A chew tool can be destroyed, so please be careful. This is a very used item, so there is going to be wear and tear. When chewing intensely, it can easily chew through / cause damage to the tooth very This product is not intended for chewing aggressively.
The item you are buying comes with 1 pendant on an adjustable cord with a breakaway clasp, and you are getting both items. In order to ensure safety, the clasp is designed to break away fairly easily. There are 36" in length on the cord. It can be shortened in length by pushing the cord through one end of the clasp, retying it at the desired length, then trimming It is important to note that the clasp and cord are not meant To make sure that children chew only on the pendant, remind them to do so. Supervision is important for the use of this product.

Questions & Answers

Do you know what makes one firm and the other describe themselves as firm while others describe themselves ?

A good adjective would be chewy but flexible, as it's chewy and flexible at the same time. To me, tough means able to withstand a great deal and still hold up well.

Are there any BPAs in it?

There is an advertisement that

Do you know anyone who has How long will it last?

As a 15th birthday present, I gave this to my daughter. It has really struck a chord with her & Whenever she loses her phone, she asks me to get another one for her. The illness has been bothering her for about 2 weeks now. There does not appear to be much challenge to it.

What is the composition of the necklace itself? Is it chewable or free of BPA? Why is it made of that material?

My understanding is that the necklace is made out of cord, but this is not clear to me what kind of cord.

Selected User Reviews For ARK's Brick Stick XXT Textured Chew Necklace Made in The USA (Very Firm, Blue)

This is what a user has to say
4/5

Whenever I get the chance, I will write this review for my son, who is 6. In response to his complaint that the chew necklace is too hard, he says he's happy to see that it is a little When chewing on it, he says that it is to his taste and that he does feel better. Other chew necklaces he has had in the past were slightly more squishy, thus making them better for him. So, there you have it, verbatim, from the mouth of a user.

I bought this for my 4 year old autistic son and it is the best thing I ever did for him
5/5

There is no need to replace it after a short period of time The saying goes that "don't worry about childproofing, it's Sean proof". My child can be destructive from time to time when it comes to things that go from hands to mouths. often in his mouth or he is chewing on an Xbox remote, dog toy, or granite countertop, whatever he can get his hands on he is probably trying to chew. I had to work with them for a long time to get them to use it. I introduced it first and after the first week I would just walk over to whatever he was chewing on and take it away or move him away and press the Lego into his mouth calmly. Currently my son is using it a lot, so it has stuck in his head. The work in progress unfortunately doesn't yet wear it, but it's on the way. It should be noted that this product is not for little children who chew or have oral fixations on anything (like their clothes, fingernails, toes, rubber bottoms on shoes, etc. etc. ) but rather for kids who have oral fixations.

This might sound like a terrible thing, but if you have a child it can be a blessing
5/5

Buying this for my son who suffers from Sensory Tactile Disorder and when he receives it, he will be amazed. For this disorder, this was the first time he tried a product. It was my task to instruct him on how to use the necklace when he felt the urge to bite or chew. After one Disney trip he always has it in his mouth in every picture! Having a child with this disorder may appear to be a bad thing, however, you would understand if you have a child with this disorder. My friends and I enjoyed it a lot! It seemed as though he never had a breakdown, he smiled, he laughed, he talked to characters and even talked to people! A person in the same situation would normally hide and conceal their faces during all Since being back home, he has continued chewing on it, and his interactions with other people are Even though his necklace is being flattened, it still looks good! The next time I buy, I will buy It was such a good find to find this product at the right time!.

Despite being great for kids with sensory issues, this is the second one I have bought for my son
4/5

He has Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder, and is an avid chewer, and like the first one, this one was If you ingest them, customer service assures me they are safe. The top buttons fall off rather easily, but they are not harmful if swallowed. My only wish is that they weren't hollow inside as my son would probably last a lot longer on them A clasp is a convenient method for him to wear the necklace, and is easy to keep clean. I also like the fact that it looks like a Lego and that it comes in various.

I find that this is a highly effective item for my 6 year old son, who is constantly In contrast to his clothes, his fingers, and everything he gets his hands on, I'd rather this be chewed Lol
4/5

You can cut and tie the cord so the necklace's length can be adjusted.
I brought the strongest cord. Despite the upsides, there are downsides as well I broke the clasp because my son chewed on it and it was breakaway plastic. Due to the duct tape, I was able to hold There are thin little nubs on the back of it that have been chewed off or broken Additionally, a chewer used for a long time can warp the shape. This is definitely a product I will buy.

I think this is a great product
5/5

Buying this product for my son, who chews on his Legos and other plastic items a lot, was a good idea. I chose Blue because I believe it is the most firm out of the colors on the color firmness chart. I make sure my son wears it on a daily basis The lego has been sitting for about three weeks now it has discolored, disfigured, and begun to dent. In any case, he is a fairly aggressive chewer, so the tooth may last longer for someone else. It is holding up fine, both the necklace and the clasp. Despite the shortcomings of the necklace, my son is highly satisfied. It sometimes locks his jaw, and that's all he has to say about it. The placement of the lego in the back of the mouth and/or the thickness of the lego may be the cause of Even so, he can't stop using it because the occasional discomfort is not enough. There's a good chance I'll need to purchase another As a measure to help minimize the discomfort caused by my jaw, I'm contemplating using Kryptobite stick.

I just got this a couple of days ago, so this is my first impression, but so far we are really pleased with it
5/5

Our five year old son has always liked to put things in his mouth/chew, but not to an extent that it affected his clothes As he began kindergarten, he began chewing much more intensely. His teeth have eaten holes in several shirt collars and he has chewed things in the house, too. It was the first thing he called his "chewy" as soon as it arrived. As soon as he saw me, he attacked! As he describes, he enjoys chewing on it and we've already witnessed a change in his behavior regarding destructive chewing of clothes and other items. We hope the toy continues to be helpful to him. I will certainly be purchasing more if that is the case- Next time, I will try the shape in another one.

Perfect for kids with autism spectrum disorder
4/5

The blue chew necklace was just received, and my 5 year old son with sensory processing issues uses them all the time. He started with the turquoise and green chew necklaces (medium density), and now he has the blue chew necklace Normally, I would give this product 5 stars, but the clasp needs to be improved. The clasp is made of plastic and my son chews on it, which means it will not stay attached.
