The BIBS x Liberty Capel Latex Pacifier 2 Pack is a two-pack of round-teat dummies made from natural rubber latex, part of the BIBS x Liberty Colour collection that reimagines BIBS's everyday soothers in Liberty prints — this one in the Fossil Grey Mix. If you're after a soft, natural-material dummy for non-nutritive sucking (sucking for comfort rather than milk), this is a round-teat pacifier designed to resemble the shape and size of the breast.
The teat is round and, according to BIBS, is shaped to resemble the mother's breast, promoting a similar tongue placement and sucking technique to breastfeeding. Because latex is a soft, elastic natural material, the teat has plenty of give, while a valve lets air escape as baby closes down on it so the teat can flatten and shape to the oral cavity.
How the round teat and shield are designed to work
- Round teat profile: The rounded shape is designed to let the sides of the tongue elevate and cup around the teat, similar to the action during breastfeeding.
- Air valve: The teat is fitted with a valve that releases air when baby closes down, flattening the teat so it can shape naturally to baby's mouth.
- Lightweight shield: The round shield faces away from the delicate skin around baby's mouth, keeping contact with the nose and mouth to a minimum.
- Moisture management: That clearance is designed to reduce moisture build-up from saliva, which can otherwise lead to rashes and sore spots.
- One shield size: The shield comes in one size regardless of the teat size.
Materials and stages
The teat is made from natural rubber latex, a soft and elastic natural material, and the shield is made from 100% food-safe material. The dummy is free from BPA, PVC and phthalates, and is designed and manufactured in Denmark/EU. BIBS offers this teat in two stages — Size 1 for 0+ months and Size 2 for 6+ months — so you can match the stage to baby's age as they grow.
Best For
The BIBS x Liberty Capel Latex Pacifier is a great option for parents who:
- Prefer a soft, natural rubber latex teat over silicone
- Are looking for a round-teat dummy for non-nutritive sucking and settling
- Like having a spare on hand, with two in the pack
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Need to avoid latex due to a latex allergy in the home
- Prefer a clear, shape-stable, odour-resistant silicone teat
Good to know
Because natural rubber latex is a natural material, some colour variation between dummies is normal and expected. Latex can also swell, darken or become sticky over time, so check the teat before each use and replace it if you notice cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling, thinning or discolouration. Always consider whether baby is hungry before offering a dummy, and never sweeten, modify or force it. For sleep, follow safe-sleep guidance and keep clips, cords, toys and attachments out of the cot.
