Set baby teething ring natural rubber

Let's face it: teething is simply no fun. When the gums swell and itch, your baby instinctively seeks relief by chewing on anything that will fit in his mouth - on his own fingers or toes if necessary. The chewing movements, the increased saliva flow caused in this way and the light pressure massage provide gentle relief for itchy or even painful gums. To provide your offspring with this relief without endangering the health of their extremities, a teething ring is the ideal object. And if this object of chewing desire is also made of pure natural material without any harmful substances, you can give the teething ring to your child as a teething aid without hesitation.

This set combines a duck-shaped teething ring made of supple natural rubber with a slightly firmer natural rubber ring. Both teething rings are optimized in size, weight and shape for baby's small hands, giving him a perfect gripper for his first finger exercises. The slightly textured rubber surface enhances the massaging effect, while the slightly thicker ring allows for a more vigorous massage. So depending on your child's own needs, he or she will sometimes prefer one teething ring, sometimes the other (and train not only his or her motor skills but also his or her differentiated sensory perception). Right down to the colors, which are made on a vegetable basis, both teething aids are completely free of harmful substances and plastics. Thanks to the production from one piece, the teething rings cannot become brittle at any seams; the "spit groove" on the simple ring rather ensures a better drainage of saliva. This means your offspring can indulge in their pleasurable oral explorations for a long time, even if their gums don't itch or hurt.

If environmentally friendly and harmless materials come first, design often takes a back seat. Terese Hoffeld also had to realize this when she was looking for toys for her two children that were made from renewable raw materials and at the same time well designed. The fact that the Danish-born Terese Hoffeld was used to the simple, beautiful, functional design of Scandinavia made the search more difficult, but also led her, instead of being annoyed by poor compromises, to found her own company without further ado. Under the name Hevea, she has been producing baby toys made of natural rubber since 2009 and has since been able to expand the range to include bathroom accessories & co. All her products continue to have one thing in common: they are timeless, simple and functional - and still look good.

Natural rubber is made from the sap of the rubber tree. Grown on large plantations in Southeast Asia and Central and South America, Hevea brasiliensis, its scientific name, grows over 30 meters high. The white sap, also known as (natural) latex, is obtained by cutting the bark at an angle and collecting the escaping "milk" in small vessels; it contains about one-third rubber. The tree stops producing latex at about 25 years of age, and its light-colored, medium-density wood, called "rubberwood," is then used in furniture making. As a tropical hardwood, it is harder than beech or oak wood, insensitive to moisture and therefore ideal for this sector.
Unlike synthetic, petroleum-based rubber, natural rubber can decompose and degrade naturally under the influence of sun, moisture and air. But even the production process can be environmentally friendly and carried out under fair working conditions - aspects that are just as important to the Danish company Hevea as producing baby toys that are absolutely harmless to health.
To ensure this, Hevea founder Terese Hoffeld herself regularly visits the Malaysian plantations and factories, because the products are manufactured where the rubber trees are grown - so not only can resources be saved, but jobs can also be created. During one of her stays there, Terese discovered a white duck made of rubber that had been accompanying the farmer's son for seven years. This provided the impetus to expand the product portfolio to include toys such as bath ducks, frogs and fish. Of course, the packaging material is also environmentally friendly - right down to the biodegradable film.

A small number of children is allergic to natural rubber. You should therefore watch out for allergic reactions and stop using the product if allergic reactions occur as a result of its use.
