These are amazing for my daughter, she is autistic and she needs something to chew on and these always do the trick. The softer ones she can bite right through and break. And that’s dangerous for her because she’ll break off little pieces and eat them, but this chewy is so tough. She can’t bite it and end up breaking it. I love that. I will always always always but these! They’re amazing! And she loves her chewy a bunch also! She loves the toughness of it. She likes to have something with a little hard to chew so this is the perfect mix of softness and hardness she needs. Read more
My son has a severe oral fixation and need for oral stimulation. He is autistic and has adhd. He will grind his teeth due to his need for sensory input. We've gone through many chewies and this one has lasted the longest and we order them a handful each time. I recommend Ark chewies to everyone. Read more
I got dental implants on my bottom teeth and the temporary/healing prosthetic was driving me crazy and making me want to bite down on something. This was a lifesaver. I bought several different kinds but this is the only one I used. The long part fits right between your teeth, all the way back, without disrupting the rest of your mouth. It was solid but not too hard. Got me through a rough time. Read more
It really cut down on my chewing time. Before this product I would want to chew all the time and I never had safe things to chew on. This product has greatly improved my habit and is durable for my chewing style. 5/5 Read more
This is a great chewy for anyone with oral sensory needs. Our 15 year old with special needs uses these regularly. He is very hard on the chewies. While these do last a few days for him, we do wish it was a little tougher to last longer. Read more
The media could not be loaded. This is definitely her favorite thing to manipulate and chew on. It's easy for her to hold, it gives her just the right amount of chew stimulation so she doesn't get bored, we've had it a week and no marks on it yet from teeth. I bought a different style of chewer and she seems to favor this one over the other one, so I will definitely have to buy more of these! We had been making her sensory bottles, old water or snapple bottles, super glued shut and we'd put uncooked noodles, beads, glitter, etc inside so that she'd have a sensory shaker bottle as well as something to chew on. But she'd have them almost destroyed in no time, so I had an idea for these chewers on Amazon and found this! This and other products like it are so brilliant and gives those who love to chew for sensory, an outlet to do so safely. Thank you! Attached to my review is a video of the gal I support, who's face i blocked for privacy, enjoying the ark chewie that I bought. I had just given it to her after receiving the day before. Read more
My 6 yo autistic son chews on everything from mini-blinds to wooden blocks to cotton comforters. Nothing is safe around him. We find his teeth marks in so many things around the house. There’s always a trail of strings from chewed up bath towels and pillows. I’ve even had to get him checked with an endoscopy to make sure he didn’t have fibers built up that he hasn’t been able to digest. His speech therapist suggested this chewy after so many chewy fails and this one is the best by far. It’s been 3 months since I bought the first two (one textured and one smooth) and the biggest problem is him losing them and the whole house is torn up looking for them. They have both stood the test of time with little to no damage. They’re still in tact, just slightly discolored. I just purchased two more just to have backups in case we can’t find one quickly. I can always tell when he can’t find “chewy” because there will be something around the house that’s chewed up or wet. Definitely worth it if you have an avid chewer like I do. Read more
My autistic/adhd son has chewed through every single chew toy there is out there. I was seriously considering buying dog chew toys but this chew is the only one that hasn’t fallen apart yet. I will be buying a few more to keep for backup just incase we lose one. Read more
