A total of 28 soothers, 13 made of latex and 15 made of silicone, were analysed for potentially harmful substances. The silicone soothers were also subject to an additional, practical test to examine how easy it was for children’s teeth to chew them. All the bibi silicone and latex soothers scored the highest marks in all the tests, gaining the top award: very good.
