Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I put the Matchstick Monkey teethers in the freezer?
No. It is highly recommended to place the teethers in the refrigerator rather than the freezer. Freezing silicone can make the material too hard and cold for a baby’s delicate gums, whereas refrigeration provides the perfect level of safe, numbing coolness.
How does the BioCote® protection work?
BioCote® is a premium antimicrobial technology that is built directly into the silicone during the manufacturing process. It prevents the growth of bacteria, mould, and fungi on the surface of the teethers, adding an extra layer of hygiene that cannot wear off or wash away.
Are these teethers safe for a baby who has already cut their first sharp teeth?
Yes. The high-quality food-grade silicone is exceptionally durable and designed to withstand the biting pressure of early teeth. However, as with all teething toys, you should routinely inspect each piece for signs of wear or puncture and replace them if damaged.
Can the teethers be sterilised?
Absolutely. All components of the Starter Set are fully heat-resistant. They can be safely placed in steam or microwave sterilisers, boiled in water, or washed on the top rack of your dishwasher.
