Mint flavour great! Cotton candy… not so much

Review by Lilly

Got these for myself to see if they’d help me stop biting myself. So far I can say that the texture of them is pretty great, I like the way they have four different arms with different textures.
I got the mint flavour and the cotton candy flavour.
The mint is nice! It’s not too weak but I wouldn’t say it’s too strong either. Not as strong as toothpaste but a little stronger than mint flavour ice cream. I like the way it still has the mint effect in your mouth.
The cotton candy flavour on the other hand… was not nice. The scent was far stronger than the mint and didn’t smell like cotton candy at all. It was actually kind of gross and I ended up having to take it out of my room and because simply having it in my room was making me feel sick because of the scent of it.
Might try ordering one of the fruit flavoured ones next.

Favourite chew toy

Review by T

My daughter loves these and they have really helped her reduce chewing nails, hair and clothes and the chewing helps her to feel very calm. I've had to buy extras as she kept misplacing her original one. She has a preferred side though and this does get discoloured quite quickly. It might be perfectly hygienic but it doesn't look great. She loves the mint ones.

Great shape and price, smells horrible!

Review by Leona

My autistic daughter loves chewies and struggles with food cravings/overeating (and has had periods of mild disordered eating in the past), so I thought a chocolate-flavoured chew would be perfect for her to provide some taste/smell input to help her when she is craving sweet treats. The chew itself is great, a good sturdy firmness without being too hard and a variety of satisfying textures on each stick. But the smell... I don't know if I ended up with a dodgy product, but in my opinion it's awful. Firstly it is certainly not "dialed down" like the description says, as soon as you open the packet it hits you in the face. And me and my daughter agreed it does not really smell of chocolate, just a generic sweet chemically smell that is quite unpleasant - akin to a cheap perfume, not something you'd want to eat! I've washed it with hot water several times which seems to have reduced the smell, but it's still there and really ruins the enjoyment of this chew for her. The price is excellent for what you get compared to other brands, but I will be sticking to unscented chews and will consider buying the plain option for her instead.

Great Value for money

Review by StormAngel

Having four arms, this is the best chew I have found for an aggressive chewer, for lasting the longest. The arms can easily be trimmed if they become damaged and therefore the chew has a pretty long life for hard chewers.

The arms all have different textures, which have good sensory value, and its made of quite a flexible substance. This actually seems to last longer than some of the rival 'tough' chews made for aggressive chewers (which may well be made from firmer stuff, but firmer is not necessarily stronger...as I have discovered with these chew stixx!).

My daughter can kill a chew in one session... tough or extra tough, but these chew stixx are extremely durable, and any chewed damage is trim-able so you get maximum usage from the chew... and four arms to destroy rather than one!!

This absolutely smells of chocolate (it's gorgeous!) as do the others smell of their promised 'flavours'. Note: They are not actually flavoured & do NOT have any taste.
