Silicone FAQ'sUpdated 7 months ago
With what materials are your teething products made?
We use food-grade, BPA-free, formaldehyde free, lead free and phthalates free silicone beads, strung on organic cotton cord. Our beads are tested for impurities, and our rosaries are safety-tested in a third-party lab.
Do the Chews Life Rosaries pose a choking hazard?
Safety is our top priority at Chews Life. Our Chews Life products are made with a safety-snap clasps that have a safe release when tugged. Our rosaries have been third-party safety-tested and are CPSIA-certified. However, please note that while these products are made to be safe and durable, they should only be used under adult supervision. As with any children's product, we recommend discontinuing usage for any signs of wear or needing repair.
What is the best way to wash my Chews Life Silicone products?
We recommend a damp microfiber cloth for cleanups with a non-abrasive soap and hanging to dry! When necessary, you may use a natural alcohol-based hand sanitizer. We do not recommend putting them in the dishwasher, to prevent excessive wear on the organic cotton cord. Avoid prolonged exposure to water so as not to wear down the organic cotton cord. Boiling it will melt all the wax on the cord and submerging the rosary or other silicone bead item gets the cord soaked through inside the beads. The cord can't dry properly because our beads are close together to not have cord exposed which leads to cord failure later.
I love St. (enter Saint name here)! Do you have plans to add this medal to your collection soon?
Maybe! We are able to create new medals approximately once per year. When we do, we will be polling our fans to see which medals are most wanted! Stay tuned--we're always looking at expanding our medal collection!

Where do you get your beads? Can I order just the cross/medal?
Our medals and crosses are custom made for Chews Life. We do not give out our manufacturer/distribution information. You may see that the crosses and some of the medals are actually stamped with our company name, because of this, we also do not sell the components separately. We are proud of our strict safety standards, and we want to make sure that every product that carries our company name is hand-made by one of our artisans. If you choose to shop with us for the little ones in your life, you can be assured that all of our products are made with high-quality components. They all carry a lifetime repair or replacement guarantee -- that's how much we believe in them!
Isn't chewing on the Rosary/Cross or religious items sacrilegious and disrespectful?
We don't think so, and here's why. For our little ones, taste is their strongest sense, so putting things in their mouth is the best way for them to learn about something. It’s no accident that they put EVERYTHING in their mouths. By creating a Rosary that is meant to be experienced this way, we can begin to teach our little ones about the faith! They also will get physical comfort in using this for teething pain and will grow up associating the rosary with comfort. And as they get older, they will certainly grow out of chewing on it, but will continue loving it just as much! Also, we're 100% certain that the baby Jesus chewed on Our Lady’s fingers, hair, mantle... and if she held your little one, she would delight in them doing the same.
