{Ringley} Review & GIVEAWAY! *CLOSED*

Ringley is a Canadian company that manufactures all natural teething toys, made from Maple wood and organic cotton terrycloth.  The maple wood is untreated and will not splinter.  These features make this the perfect solution for a teething baby, wouldn't you say?


Both the ring and cloth are easy for your child to grasp, and baby can use both for actual teething satisfaction.  I like to think of it as a dual teether, really.  Additionally, the Ringley teething rings can be used wet or dry, which I really like. 

The Ringley teething toys come in 4 shapes: knotted, straight, junior or ball.  We received the "junior" version.  All are a natural cream color (the only "color" an organic terrycloth can be without chemicals or dye, of course), so will go with anything and be practical for any parent out there - modern, traditional or otherwise.

We tried it out on our 2 month old...who interestingly enough already seems to be teething - yikes!  Anyway. As she's new to textures and feeling anything in general, she really liked the cloth portion of the teether.  She chewed on it a bit, and also just liked feeling it.  She's not into the ring yet, though, which I'm assuming is because she's so young, so the ring is a bit big for her at this point.  As far as my concern for the Ringley, I love that it's all natural, neutral, has 2 different textures to teethe on, can be used wet or dry and is washable {well, at least 2 styles are}.

One bummer with the straight and knotted versions is that they are made to be only hand-washed.  However, the junior & ball styles come with a removable ring {via velcro}, so you can just toss the cloth part into the washer to get clean!


BUY IT!  Visit Ringley to find a local retailer to purchase your own Ringley teething toy {MSRP $14.99 - $19.99, depending on style}!  {In case there wasn't one listed near you, I did find this online retailer who carries all 4 styles!}.


WIN IT!  One lucky Haute Tot & Baby Couture reader will win a Ringley teether of their own!
