Rebael pacifiers are made from pure, natural latex – a material that feels incredibly soft and comforting. By imitating nature, it is almost the closest we can get for comforting babies. To avoid any assembling lines, we dip the latex nipple part multiple times. This creates a strong and durable product. The gentle and flexible natural latex is created to support your baby's natural sucking rhythm in the most familiar way.
The other parts – shield, center, and handle – are made of carefully selected polypropylene. It is medical grade and food proof.
Latex has a unique warmth and elasticity, the best from Mother Nature. Many babies instantly relax when they feel the natural softness in their mouth. Parents often tell us: "My baby settles faster with latex – it just feels right for them."
Every drop of latex in our pacifiers is harvested by farmers who protect their forests and grow rubber with respect for nature. Therefore it states on the packaging: "Our Latex does not contribute to deforestation!"
Natural latex is softer, warmer, and more flexible than silicone. It mimics the natural feel babies are familiar with, which is why many babies prefer it. Latex is also biodegradable and comes from a renewable resource.
Silicone is firmer, has no taste or smell, and lasts longer without changing color. Both materials are safe – it's about what your baby prefers and your personal values regarding sustainability.
Natural latex can absorb small amounts of moisture, which may cause slight swelling. This is completely normal and a sign that you're using a genuine natural material. The pacifier will return to its normal size when it dries.
To minimize swelling, avoid leaving the pacifier in water for extended periods and allow it to air dry completely after cleaning.
The natural warmth, softness, and flexibility of latex closely mimic the feeling babies are instinctively drawn to. The material responds to your baby's sucking rhythm in a way that feels familiar and comforting, helping them settle faster and stay calm longer.
Absolutely! Every Rebael pacifier is produced in Europe under the highest safety standards (EN 1400). They are free from BPA and PVC – only safe, gentle materials touching your baby's mouth.
Latex allergies in infants are extremely rare, but they can exist. If your little one shows redness or irritation around the mouth, stop using it and talk to your doctor. If your baby already has a known latex allergy, we recommend finding an alternative.
No. Our natural latex is pure and free from harmful chemicals. We use only BPA-free, PVC-free materials that meet strict European safety standards (EN 1400). The latex comes directly from rubber trees and is processed without adding harmful substances.
Latex comes directly from the sap of the rubber tree, a living natural material. Its mild scent is completely normal and part of its natural character. The smell will fade over time with regular use and cleaning.
Natural latex may darken or change color with use and exposure to light, heat, and saliva. This is a normal characteristic of natural materials and does not affect safety or function. It's actually a sign that you're using a genuine natural product rather than synthetic materials.
A sticky surface means the latex is beginning to break down and it's time to replace the pacifier. This is a natural aging process for latex. For safety and hygiene, we recommend replacing latex pacifiers every 4-6 weeks or sooner if you notice stickiness, cracks, or tears.
Yes! Natural latex is excellent for newborns. Its soft, warm texture closely mimics what babies naturally seek for comfort. Many parents find that newborns accept latex pacifiers more readily because of their natural feel and flexibility.
We recommend replacing latex pacifiers every 4-6 weeks for optimal safety and hygiene. Replace sooner if you notice any signs of wear such as stickiness, cracks, tears, or significant color change. Always inspect the pacifier before each use.
Before first use, sterilize by boiling in water for 5 minutes. For daily cleaning, wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. You can also sterilize periodically by boiling, but avoid excessive heat exposure as it can shorten the pacifier's lifespan.
Always allow the pacifier to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals, dishwashers, or microwave sterilizers with latex pacifiers.
Unopened latex pacifiers can be stored for up to 3 years in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Natural latex degrades over time, so always check the packaging for the expiration date and inspect the pacifier before use, even if unopened.
Yes! Natural latex is a renewable, biodegradable material harvested from rubber trees. Our latex is sourced from farmers who practice responsible forestry, protecting their forests while harvesting sustainably. Unlike synthetic materials, latex breaks down naturally over time.
As stated on our packaging: "Our Latex does not contribute to deforestation!" We're committed to environmental responsibility from harvest to your home.
