I bought this from Babies "R'' Us when my son started putting everything in his mouth. The teether has 4 soft rubber sections, each with different textures. It also rattles and can be bent in a number of different ways. The teether is easy for my son to grasp and twist. He enjoys chewing on the rubber sections and likes to throw it to hear rattle sounds. The teether is very easy to clean, just hand wash and air dry. It is small enough to throw in the diaper bag and entertaining enough to occupy my son during car rides, doctor's office visits, etc.

My DD loved this toy/teether when she was younger--and every now and then you could catch her dad or I twisting it around, too :) For the price and entertainment value I think it is a great thing to keep in your diaper/travel bag--lots of texture, movement, color and fun in such a little package! I have bought a couple as gifts for new moms since... all thank me and say what a great gift it is, and they never would have thought to buy it or ask for it.

Only drawback for me--cleaning it. There are tiny little gaps in between the pieces that twist, so for me I didn't think a run through the dishwasher was good enough. I usually boiled it for 5-10 mins or so every couple of days in addition to the dishwasher... but maybe I'm just a little OCD! Package says not to dishwasher/boil it, but I didn't have any issues from doing so.

This teether has rubber sides, and smooth plastic sides. Baby can twist it around and have a good time smacking you and himself with it. If you are a nervous wreck that doesn't want to be smacked with a teether, then maybe the knuckleball one would be better for you. But the baby seems to have a good time biting this one and waving it around and smacking himself with it. Baby likes it; it gets on my nerves. But I give it 5 stars because baby likes it.

I thought this twisty toy would be something new & fun for my 5 month old to chew on. I'm not a huge fan. Mostly because I think it's too awkward and big for a baby to try and hold and get their mouth around. She hits herself in the face a lot too trying to get it into her mouth. Maybe when she is older she can play with it just for fun but as a teether it's not functional.

I thought this was a neat idea until my little guy started manipulating it and collapsed it into the figure 8 and pinched his fingers--hard! Not using it with my youngest.

it is too big and too heavy for my 6-month-old baby to hold, and also the materials seem too hard for my baby to chew. My baby himself is not interested in it. a bad buy.

My son has had this since cutting his first tooth at 4 months old. At 11 months old, he's cutting his 9th tooth and this is still his favorite chew toy. He doesn't care much for the hard plastic parts, but there's enough of the soft rubber/different texture parts for him to enjoy it. It's easy to clean, cheap in price, and very durable. I recommend it for your little teethers.

my daughter likes the colors and the fact that you can twist it, she tries using the rubber teether parts and she doesn't like it very much. the rubber parts are not wide enough so she would have to bite it just right in order for it to work. we got it for her when she was 4 months, she's now 8 months. She's more interested now having more hand eye coordination- but the teether part is still a no-go.

I bought this teether for my five-month old, but ended up returning it because it was not dishwasher-safe and can't be submerged in water to clean. I wanted to be able to do both, so this teether was not good for me.

Because of the bright colors on this items, i though my daughter will love it. On the internet, it looks like the teether was small enough for a 5 and half month old child to hold. But when i got it, i was not impressed at all. It was too thick for her to grab, and will not even fit her month either. So, now it is in the box with the rest of the useless items that will never be used again
