ARK's Baseball Bat Chew Necklace – Available in Three Colour-Coded Toughness Levels
ARK’s Baseball Bat Chew Necklace is long and smooth. It also features tactile ribs around the handle area for extra sensory input. This longer chew tool reaches all the way to the back molars for proprioceptive input to the masseter muscle (where we usually feel the need to chew the most). The Baseball Bat is one of the thickest back-molar shapes that ARK produce (1.3cm in diameter on the smooth end), so it is a great option for avid chewers who want a wearable back-molar design.
You can use this chewelry as an oral aid or fidget toy to help calm, soothe and self-regulate thoughts during times of anxiety and stress. It is a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, fingers, knuckles, clothing etc. Chew tools are particularly useful for children and adults with Autism, Asperger’s, ADHD or those who need a high level of sensory input.
Technical Information
Each Baseball Bat pendant measures about 9.5cm long and is 1.3cm in diameter at the thickest, smooth end. The breakaway cord is 36 inches (91cm) long but can be shortened by scooting the thread out of the clasp, retying the knot at a shorter length, and then trimming the excess thread. The pendant is available in three colour-coded toughness levels.
A note about choosing the correct colour option
Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not generally chew through anything). It is also suitable for individuals with low oral tone, or those with limited jaw strength
Medium XT - This is the middle level, which is called XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers
Very Firm XXT - This is the toughest level, which is called XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid/pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest-lasting level for avid chewers.
Note - This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear and tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. This product contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - recommended for ages 5 years and upwards. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item starts to show signs of wear and tear.
