The BIBS Studio Latex Pacifier is a natural-rubber-latex dummy from the BIBS Studio Collection, where the brand's print-led colour designs meet a soft, elastic latex teat. If you're looking for a soother for non-nutritive sucking — that comfort-only sucking babies do when they're settling rather than feeding — this is a latex option with a round, lightweight shield designed to sit gently against your little one's face.
Latex is the softer, more elastic of the two common dummy materials, and this teat is fitted with a valve that lets air out as your baby closes down on it. That allows the nipple to flatten and adapt to the shape of the mouth as they suck. As with any dummy, acceptance comes down to your baby's own preference — some take to a latex teat easily, others don't, and that's completely normal.
How it works
- Air-release valve: The teat is equipped with a valve that lets out air when your baby closes down on it, so the nipple flattens and shapes to the contours of their oral cavity as they suck.
- Round lightweight shield: The shield faces away from the sensitive, delicate skin around the mouth, keeping contact with the nose and mouth to a minimum and reducing the chance of saliva building up — which can otherwise lead to rashes and sore spots.
Materials and sizing
The teat is made from natural rubber latex, while the shield is moulded from 100% food-grade PP. The BIBS Studio dummy comes in three age stages — Size 1 (0+ months), Size 2 (6+ months) and Size 3 (18+ months) — with a shield that stays one size across all teat sizes. It complies with the European Standard EN 1400+A2.
Best For
The BIBS Studio Latex Pacifier is a great option for parents who:
- Prefer a soft, elastic natural-rubber-latex teat over silicone
- Like the print-led colour designs of the BIBS Studio Collection
- Want a lightweight, round-shield dummy for comfort sucking
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Have a latex allergy in the family, or prefer to avoid natural rubber latex
- Are still establishing breastfeeding — many parents hold off on routine dummy use until feeding is going well
Disclaimer
Because natural rubber latex is a natural material, some colour variation may occur from piece to piece — this is normal and not a fault. Latex teats also tend to soften, swell or darken over time, so inspect the dummy before each use and replace it if you notice any cracks, tears, stickiness or thinning. Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning and replacement guidance, and offer a dummy only after checking your baby isn't hungry. For sleep, follow safe-sleep guidance and never attach clips, cords or toys to a dummy while your baby is sleeping.
