Pierrette d’Entremont, owner and designer at SentioLife Solutions, Ltd., has just the safe chewables for those who bite and chew. Their popular chew necklaces KidCompanions Chewelry and the SentioCHEWS, on the market since November of 2013, help those with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), autism (ASD), Tourette syndrome (TS), Down Syndrome (DS), and all individuals who need oral stimulation.

BREAKAWAY
Our custom made breakaway on KidCompanions Chewelry lanyards is small and lays flat. It was designed specifically for children and conforms to ASTM toy safety standard! Though not meant to be chewed, it is also BPA, lead and phthalate free.
On the SentioStyles lanyards a sturdy barrel breakaway is the centrepiece 
and takes a hefty tug before releasing as a safety mechanism. It pops open to keep you safe if needed and pops easily back together again.
The clasp is tough and the paracord is strong, but they are not meant to be chewed.
HOW TO WASH OUR CHEW NECKLACES
Wash them easily by hand in the evening and they will be dry the next morning. If you want to dry the lanyard quickly you can iron it dry in a few seconds! 
TIP: One clever mom whose child DID NOT want to remove his KidCompanions Chewelry would give her child a bath and, as you can guess, the chew necklace was washed at the same time. Eh! what can I say, “Roll with the punches and don’t sweat the small stuff!”

Wow chewable lanyards who’d have thought it. I have never seen a product like it. I’ve seen the necklaces and bracelets but lanyards thats quite clever.
Hello Rainbow Bites, the pendants are for chewing but we know some kids, as kids do, will also bite or chew on the lanyards; therefore, we have to make them strong and of a material safe to chew just in case. If a buyer KNOWS they have a fabric chewer we recommend they buy our lanyard made of 100% organic undyed cotton which is best for the child.
Still waiting to receive my sons chewy.
