Ele Ring Silicone Teether - Pack of 2
The Ele Ring Silicone Teether gives babies aged 3 to 12 months a safe, multi-textured chewing surface that soothes inflamed gums during teething while supporting grip development and early sensory exploration. It is BIS-certified under IS 9873, made from 100% food-grade silicone, and free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, and lead.
Pack of 2 (Two Different Colors Included)
Each pack includes two ring teethers in coordinating colors: sage green and aqua blue. Having two teethers means one can be refrigerating while the other is in use, and you always have a clean spare ready without waiting for sterilization to complete.
Why Silicone Ring Teethers Work Best for Teething Relief
Ring-shaped teethers are among the most recommended teething tools because the circular form is easy for babies with an undeveloped pincer grasp to hold from any angle. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), most babies begin teething between 4 and 7 months. During this period, gentle counter-pressure on the gums provides measurable discomfort relief without the risks associated with numbing gels.
Research published in peer-reviewed pediatric dentistry literature confirms that firm-textured teethers with varied surface patterns provide greater gum relief than smooth, soft options. The multi-textured ridges on the Ele Ring target different areas of the gum line simultaneously, making each chewing session more effective.
Silicone vs Rubber vs Plastic: Which Teether Material Is Safest?
Food-grade silicone outperforms natural rubber and hard plastic on every major safety and usability measure. The table below compares the key factors parents should evaluate when choosing a teether material.
| Safety Factor | Ele Ring (Food-Grade Silicone) | Natural Rubber / Hard Plastic |
|---|---|---|
| BPA, phthalate, and PVC free | Yes, by material composition | Varies by brand and certification |
| Latex allergy risk | None | Natural rubber carries latex risk |
| Sterilization method | Boiling, UV, dishwasher safe | Limited: heat degrades rubber |
| BIS toy safety certification | Yes, IS 9873 certified | Rarely certified in India |
| Chemical leaching under chewing | None: silicone is inert | Possible in low-grade plastics |
Safety Certifications and What They Mean
The Ele Ring carries BIS certification under IS 9873 (Certificate No. CML-7600198513), the Bureau of Indian Standards toy safety standard that aligns with international ISO 8124. This certification confirms the product has passed mechanical, physical, and chemical safety testing in an accredited Indian laboratory.

- Free from: BPA, BPS, phthalates, PVC, lead, and nitrosamines
How the Ele Ring Supports Baby Development (3 to 12 Months)
Between 3 and 6 months, babies develop the palmar grasp reflex, enabling them to hold objects placed in their hands. By 6 months, most begin practising voluntary grasping. The Ele Ring's circular form supports this developmental window: babies can hold it with a full-fist grip before they develop the pincer grasp, which typically emerges after 9 months. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Child Development Milestones (2022 edition), hand-to-mouth transfer is a key gross motor milestone between 4 and 5 months.
- Oral motor development: Chewing on textured silicone strengthens jaw muscles used later for speech and eating solid foods.
- Sensory stimulation: Multi-textured ridges engage tactile receptors in the gums and palms, supporting early sensory processing and proprioception.
- Hand-eye coordination: Transferring the ring from hand to mouth is among the earliest hand-eye coordination milestones, typically emerging around 4 months.
- Colour recognition: High-contrast colour combinations (sage green and aqua blue) support visual cortex development in babies under 6 months, whose full-spectrum colour perception is still maturing.

How to Use for Best Teething Relief
Rinse the teether with clean water before first use. For maximum gum relief, refrigerate (do not freeze) the teether for 15 to 20 minutes before offering it to your baby. Cold silicone provides additional numbing relief for inflamed gums. The AAP recommends always supervising your baby while using a teether and avoiding teethers with liquid-filled centres or small detachable parts.
Cleaning and Sterilization
Food-grade silicone is non-porous, which means bacteria and mould cannot penetrate the surface the way they can with porous rubber. You can sterilize the Ele Ring using any of the following methods, each verified safe for the material:
- Boiling: Submerge in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Heat-stable up to 230 degrees Celsius.
- UV sterilizer: Compatible with standard home UV sterilizers.
- Dishwasher: Top rack safe. Avoid high-heat dry settings.
- Cold water rinse: For on-the-go cleaning between sterilization cycles.
Inspect the teether before each use. Discard if you notice cracks, tears, surface discolouration, or any change in texture.
Common Questions About the Ele Ring Teether
At what age should I introduce a ring teether?
Ring teethers can be introduced from 3 months, when babies develop enough hand control to grasp and bring objects to their mouths. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends supervised use from this age.
Can I put the teether in the refrigerator?
Yes. Refrigerating for 15 to 20 minutes (not freezing) is the recommended method for additional gum relief. Freezing makes the teether too hard and risks bruising soft gum tissue.
What is the difference between BPA-free and food-grade silicone?
BPA-free means a product excludes only bisphenol A. Food-grade silicone goes further: it meets FDA and FSSAI standards for direct food contact and is free from BPA, BPS, phthalates, PVC, lead, and nitrosamines as a class.

What is BIS
- BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is India's official national standards body. The IS 9873 certification is the specific BIS standard for toys and infant products it tests for chemical safety, mechanical safety, and material purity.
- Our teether carries BIS licence number CML-7600198513, confirming it has been independently tested and meets India's strictest safety standards for baby products.
- BIS certification guarantees this teether is free from harmful chemicals including BPA, phthalates, lead, and PVC verified by an accredited third-party lab, not just self-declared.
- Most teethers sold in India are not BIS certified. Choosing a BIS-certified teether means choosing one that has been independently tested not just labelled "safe."

I was looking for a teether for my niece. But all I found were plastic/rubber teethers that release harmful chemicals. Many silicone teethers I saw were shockingly not food grade and lacked any kind of certifications. After doing some research I found nubokind. The makers have really put in all the effort to make it high-quality and plastic/rubber/chemical free. Every time I see my niece put it in her mouth - I know she is safe and happy 😊
Hi Sarmaya, this means the world to us! We created our teethers for exactly this reason—to give parents (and amazing aunts!) total peace of mind. So happy your niece is enjoying it!
He is 5 months old and is easily able to grab (and bite) this teether!
Yay Shrutanjaya! That's what we love to hear. Happy grabbing and happy biting to your little one!
This teether has really helped soothe my baby's sore gums. The different textures are a great addition.
I was looking for a safe teether, and this exceeded my expectations. Great quality, beautiful design, and my baby absolutely loves it.
