Pacifiers can be divided into latex pacifiers and silicone pacifiers according to material, latex pacifiers are made of natural latex, yellow, relatively soft, but easy to damage, there is a rubber smell. Silicone pacifier is made of food grade silicone as raw material, milky white, safe, non-toxic, tasteless, high temperature resistant, long life, not easy to damage. The quality of products on the market is uneven, and the choice of pacifiers is related to the health of the baby. So how should we tell the difference between a food-grade silicone pacifier and a latex pacifier?

1. Test elasticity

Rubber, latex elasticity is very good, silica gel is relatively weak, but it is not like glass, ceramic, it is still very resistant to falling. This is also one of the reasons why I choose silicone, the baby is often knocked over. In the selection, you can try the elasticity first, if the elasticity is super good, it may be latex.

2. Look at the color

Listen to the "experts" said that rubber, latex because of the impurities content, the naked eye will look like the color is a little cloudy, and the real silicone can obviously see the sense of permeability, of course, like this thick type of rubber is really quite difficult to see what, so try the lighting, it is obvious the difference.

3. Smell

Rubber, latex taste is strong, smell will feel pungent, I heard that some manufacturers in order to cover up the taste will increase the flavor to cover up the taste, so when buying better smell to see if there is no taste, to choose no fragrance.

4. Look at the price

Silica gel because of the cost of materials, the price will not be particularly low, so when buying can not be greedy for small bargains, to compare the price of similar products. Of course, it is not that the most expensive is better, in addition, I heard that food-grade silicone products have strict certification and testing standards, so we should also pay attention to see if there are such things as these certificates.
