Chewigem is geared towards those with sensory challenges who have a need to chew, such as those with autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD and anxiety.
They also have a sister company called Gumigem that caters to Moms and babies, by providing a range of stylish, and functional teething jewelry.
Litecup
Litecup is a non-spill cup, with an integrated night light. These two features make it perfect for independent mess free drinking, even at night.
The clean design means that the cup does not look ‘babyish’ and is suitable for anyone from 12 months and up. It is even great for students to take to school in place of a water bottle. Available from Chewigem Canada for $16.95
Chubes
Chewing necklaces help provide a replacement for the sensory rewards normally gained through biting and chewing normal everyday objects.
Especially rewarding to those with special needs, autism, and sensory processing difficulties. They can even be worn by moms or dads ‘on the go’ so that baby always has a chewing aid on hand.
A single Chube threaded on a rugged cotton cord makes them readily available when needed. They also come with 3 additional Chubes.
Available from Chewigem Canada for only $22
Tread Bangle
Every chewy bangle is designed to look cool and fashionable, as well as serving your child’s needs to chew. Bangles are so versatile that they can also be converted into a necklace.
These bangles have a fun tire tread pattern which is both fashionable and discreet. It’s suitable for moderate to robust chewers. The tread lines add a sensory stimulation making this bracelet an ideal fidget toy as well. Available from Chewigem Canada for $18

I like the Colibri Bags. I learned that Chewigem is made of FDA approved silicone that is lead, latex, BPA, PVC and phthalate free.
i like the Cat Pendant – Puuurple
I visited Chewigem and learned their products are designed for mild to moderate chewers and can be beneficial for children and adults. It never dawned on me that there could be products beneficial for adults. I also appreciate that Chewigem products are made with FDA approved medical grade silicone that is lead, latex, BPA, PVC and phthalate free.
I learned that While on maternity leave, Jenny McLaughlan and husband Stuart,came up with this idea.
I love the litecup. I like that it is leakproof.
It’s the Litecup that caught my attention, what a great idea for a sippy cup to double as a night light.
