Frequently Asked Questions About Silicone Sensory Necklaces
1. Are silicone sensory necklaces safe to chew?
Yes. When made from food-grade, BPA-free silicone and used as intended, sensory necklaces are perfectly safe to chew. Always check that your necklace has a breakaway clasp and is from a reputable Australian brand like Sensory Stuff.
2. Who can use a sensory necklace?
Sensory necklaces are suitable for children aged 3+, as well as teens and adults. They’re commonly used by people with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, anxiety, or anyone who finds chewing or fidgeting soothing.
3. How do I clean a silicone sensory necklace?
You can clean your necklace with warm, soapy water or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid using harsh chemicals or boiling water, which can damage the silicone.
4. How long do sensory necklaces last?
The lifespan depends on how frequently they’re used and the strength of the chewer. With proper care, most necklaces last several months to a year. Heavy chewers may need to replace them more often.
5. Can adults wear sensory necklaces in public?
Absolutely! Many of our designs are discreet and stylish, made to look like everyday jewellery. They’re perfect for workplaces, study sessions, or anywhere you might need a little extra calm or focus.
6. What makes Sensory Stuff necklaces different?

Our necklaces are designed in Australia using tested, high-quality silicone and built for real sensory support, not just looks. Each piece is made with comfort, safety, and style in mind so you can chew, fidget, and focus with confidence. All the way down to our thoughtful packaging that is reusable to keep your necklace safe and clean when not in use.
7. Are they suitable for kids who chew their shirts?
Yes! That’s one of the most common reasons parents choose sensory necklaces. They provide a safe, hygienic alternative to chewing clothing, pencils, or fingers, protecting teeth, clothes, and confidence.
8. Do sensory necklaces help with anxiety?
Many people find they do. Chewing or fidgeting provides a calming sensory input that helps regulate the nervous system, making it easier to manage stress, overwhelm, or anxiety throughout the day.
