As you may or may not know, I have a teether. I had lost my teether, actually, which didn't seem like such a big deal until I realized that 1. I was eating more and 2. it wasn't helping to eat more, as I was still chewing my cheeks all the time, causing me to have gaping wounds.
But I have found it, and (after giving it a thorough scrubbing) commenced rejoicing.
Honestly, I cannot reccommend this thing enough. I imagine that actually teething people (such as toddlers and babies) like it as well. It's got the two water-filled chewy sections, which turn nice and cold with refrigeration, the two hoop-like sections which let you get the back teeth, and the bumpy section, which just feels nice (the stripy section feels weird, but 5/6 isn't half bad!).
The only problem is that it looks silly. This might not concern a child, but it concerns me, and it leaves me chewing my cheeks whilst in public - pens are filthy. I need to find a more discreet alternative for being in public, because, really, without it I have massive injuries. And I gain weight.
This has been an unpaid ad, courtesy of my inner cheeks, which are quite happy to have this chance to heal.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that it makes a pleasant rattle sound when you shake it. Not really what I do all day, but if I can get pleasure out of rattlerattle, so can your average baby.

I finally convinced him to stop chewing batteries not long ago.
*sigh*
I need to find something to chew.
I'm taking the enamel off my teeth with grinding.
Dont think a teether is my answer, though. :-\
