You already had the choice between silicone teats and rubber teats here are 100% natural rubber. More hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly, however they last as long.
Rubber or silicone?

The radius of teats, bottle or not, you can choose between:
- Silicone nipples;
- Rubber nipples (sometimes called latex).
Silicone is a synthetic product (without bisphenol A). The rubber comes from a transformation of the latex from the rubber tree called. It is therefore more natural. However, toxic additives are sometimes involved in the manufacture of teats.
The nipples 100% natural rubber
There has been little nipples rubber or latex 100% natural. They are produced:
- Without toxic additives;
- Without the protein responsible for allergies to rubber / latex.
Unlike the usual dummies whose collar is often plastic, pacifiers “natural” and are composed entirely of natural rubber. Where others are partly plastic.
The nipples 100% natural rubber
There has been little nipples rubber or latex 100% natural. They are produced:
- Without toxic additives;
- Without the protein responsible for allergies to rubber / latex.
Unlike the usual dummies whose collar is often plastic, pacifiers “natural” and are composed entirely of natural rubber. Where others are partly plastic.
More hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly than silicon
The rubber and latex also offer advantages over silicon. They are as follows:
- Cheaper;
- More flexible and therefore easier to suck.
However, they are often:
- Have a taste that some babies do not like;
- Be responsible for allergies.
Note: if you want to remove the unpleasant taste of rubber, boil the pacifier in milk for 3 minutes then rinse. You will however change quickly.
Compared to the old rubber boots or latex nipple 100% natural
- Is even more flexible (and therefore more ergonomic);
- Is more hygienic (because seamless slot corner where bacteria may lodge);
- Is most responsible for allergies because the protein responsible for allergies has been removed from production;
- Is more environmentally friendly production and fully biodegradable.
NOTE: These nipples suction cast into a block are also safer. Indeed, there is no risk that the shield is detached from the collar. What can happen (rarely) with the flanges nipples sucking hard. Especially with the silicone nipple shields, which tend to harden with time (the child sucks or sucks therefore stronger).
Shorter life
A disadvantage of rubber in general is its shelf life. In fact, the rubber has poor resistance to weather (it cracks, becomes sticky …). Rubber teats n’apportent 100% natural so no progress at this level. The manufacturers even recommend changing them every month (instead of 2 months usually, whatever the composition of the nipple).
Where to find
To find these rubber boots 100% natural, locate the entries:
- Natural rubber or natural latex;
- Without compounds / toxic adjuvants;
- From rubberwood.
Rely also on the sticker Oko Tex (named after the German leader in environmental magazines) that indicates compliance with health and environmental standards.
