Zip chews are small, textured, silicone chews, made of medium-firm, flexible silicone. These sensory chews measure 48mm long and are roughly 12mm thick at the widest point and come on a small loop of black cord to be threaded straight onto a zip.
Now available in ten different colours, chews are designed to be threaded through the end of a zip for a subtle, chewable toggle that looks like it’s just part of the garment.
These are ideal for those who like to chew but may feel self-conscious about wearing a chewy necklace and/or for those who seek out their zips for chewing.
Zip chews are particularly popular with autistic adolescents and adults.
Chews come in a 4 pack and now come with 2 types of cord (so 8 pieces of cord) per pack as standard!
Watch my installation guide below, to learn how to ‘install’ your Zip Chews. Includes troubleshooting and tips!

This item is not suitable for heavy biting, it is designed for mouthing, sucking or light chewing
Only suitable for children aged 3+ (strangulation hazard). For children below this age, consider ordering this item as a Clip-on Oojamabob?
The lanyard/cord clip is not suitable for chewing, if you feel it is likely the clip will be chewed, the item will not be suitable
Please ensure use of the Oojamabob is under adult supervision
Please wash thoroughly before use
Ensure the item is regularly washed
Please inspect regularly for signs of wear and tear and remove from use if the item begins to show damage
Clip-on’s were created by myself as an alternative for those who are uncomfortable wearing necklaces or bracelets; these are also ideal for those with limited use of their hands and/or arms.
The clip is made of metal and wood and is easy to quickly clip on or unclip from clothing. The item can be clipped to any part of the clothing, such as on the shoulder, to allow the individual to reach the item with their mouth without assistance.
Although our sensory chew necklaces are fairly durable, they are by no means indestructible. Chews will show signs of wear and tear eventually and may need replacing in time. Some may find that their chew lasts for many many months without needing to be replaced and others may become damaged very quickly.
This is primarily dependant on the intensity and frequency of the individual’s chewing behaviours and unfortunately it is not possible to guarantee the length of time any individual chew will last. However, people chew in different ways and some shapes are more suitable for certain chewing styles than others.
If you are unsure which chew will be suitable for your needs, please do contact me and I will help you to make a selection, as some are stronger than others. Please understand this is not an exact science and sometimes it may just be a matter of trial and error to find the right chew!
