The BIBS Studio Pinstripes Latex Pacifier is a natural rubber latex dummy from the BIBS Studio Collection, where fashion-forward prints meet a considered everyday soother. Like all dummies, it's made for non-nutritive sucking — sucking for comfort rather than milk — so it's something you might offer during settling or at sleep time once you've checked baby isn't actually hungry.
The nipple is made from soft, elastic natural rubber latex, while the round shield is moulded from 100% food-grade PP. It's available in three sizes to match baby's stage, and the whole dummy complies with European Standard EN 1400+A2.
How it works
- Air-release valve nipple: The nipple has a valve that lets out air when baby closes down on it, flattening the nipple so it can shape more naturally to the inside of baby's mouth.
- Round, lightweight shield: The shield is designed to face away from the sensitive skin around baby's mouth, keeping contact with the nose and mouth to a minimum.
- Airflow and moisture: By reducing contact and moisture build-up from saliva, the shield helps lower the chance of the rashes and sore spots that trapped drool can cause.
Choosing a size
The dummy comes in three stages so you can match it to baby's age as they grow: Size 1 (0+ months), Size 2 (6+ months) and Size 3 (18+ months). The shield stays the same size regardless of the nipple size, so the only thing that changes between stages is the teat proportion. Smaller isn't automatically safer — the right choice is the size that suits baby's current stage.
A note on latex
Natural rubber latex is softer and more elastic than silicone, which some babies prefer. It's worth knowing that latex can swell, darken or become sticky over time, and it's relevant if there's any latex allergy in the family. Inspect the dummy before each use and replace it at the first sign of cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling or thinning.
Best For
The BIBS Studio Pinstripes Latex Pacifier is a great option for parents who:
- Are looking for a soft, elastic natural rubber latex teat rather than silicone
- Want a dummy matched to baby's stage across the 0+, 6+ and 18+ month sizes
- Like the print-led look of the BIBS Studio Collection
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Are avoiding latex due to a known or suspected latex allergy
- Prefer a clear, shape-stable, odour-resistant silicone teat
Disclaimer
Always consider whether baby is hungry before offering a dummy — rooting, hand-to-mouth movement and increasing alertness can signal a feed is needed. A dummy should never be forced, sweetened, modified or used to give medicine. For sleep, follow the full safe-sleep setup: no clips, cords, toys or attachments should be in the cot. Clean and sterilise according to the manufacturer's full cleaning guide, dry completely, and inspect regularly, replacing the dummy as soon as you notice any wear. This product complies with European Standard EN 1400+A2.
