Opening

A dummy clip spends its life attached to something that has been on the floor of a bus. That is the case for silicone over fabric: this one wipes clean in a few seconds under a tap, where a woven strap has to come off, go in a wash and dry before it can go back on.

The beads are moulded silicone with a carved daisy at the centre, on a short cord with a clip at one end and a loop at the other. It clips to the front of a top, not to anything else.

Fabric and safety

This is the section to read on this product rather than the one to skip.

• Check the beads before every use. Pull each one gently along the cord. Beads on a threaded cord are the failure point on this style, and a bead that has worked loose is a small part at mouth height. Retire the clip rather than restringing it.
• Clip it to clothing at the front, and nothing else. Never fasten a soother holder to a cot, a pram bar, a car seat, a bag strap or bedding.
• Never lengthen it. Do not tie it to a ribbon, a second clip or anything else to gain reach. Length is the hazard with any soother holder, and the short cord is deliberate.
• Take it off for sleep, along with anything else loose.

Silicone is why the cleaning is easy and also why the inspection matters. It does not absorb, so nothing soaks into it and a wipe genuinely cleans it — but it is slightly flexible, which means a bead can ease along a cord over months of pulling in a way a rigid one would not.

Size guide

Fit notes

The loop end suits a standard dummy with a ring or a shield opening. A dummy with a solid shield and no ring will not attach, so check the one you already use before ordering.

The clip grips a jumper or a cardigan better than a thin vest, where it can slide. Fasten it through a seam or a placket rather than flat fabric if it needs to hold through a car journey.

Styling

All Khaki, Khaki and Cream, and the two greys are the quiet ones and sit with the neutral pieces in the range. The three pinks run from Soft Pink through to Deep Pink, so they can be matched to a specific outfit rather than approximated. White is the one that shows marks soonest, which matters more on this than on most things.

Care

Wipe with a damp cloth, or rinse under a warm tap and dry thoroughly, paying attention to where the beads meet the cord — that is where water sits. Do not boil, sterilise or put it in a dishwasher, since the cord and clip will not take the heat the beads would. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the carved detail.

What is not included

No dummy, soother or teether is supplied — the clip is provided on its own for you to attach your own. Clothing, comforters, toys and anything else shown in the photographs are styling only.
