Latex

Natural rubber is called natural latex and is produced from the sap (latex) of various plants, mainly the Kautschuk rubber tree. It is more durable than silicone but is not tight and can therefore become porous after a period of use - it can then swell and/or change shape. Rubber also ages from air and sunlight. If you notice that the suction part has bite marks, changed shape, swelled up, or feels sticky, you should change the pacifier. When choosing a soother for your child, it can be useful to know if there is a latex allergy in the family.
