  • Bub is obsessed

    5 out of 5

    This was a huge saviour as our little one is at the age where everything goes in the mouth and she just loves this so much ! From about 3 months this is the go to!


  • Too big

    2.5 out of 5

    I heard everyone talk about these so I went and got one. Quite expensive and was way to big for my daughters hand that it didn’t really sit on. She didn’t know what to do with it. Used it once and can’t even tell you where it is


  • Not that impressed

    2 out of 5

    I thought these would be great as my bubs were always sucking on there hands byt unfortunately they were of no interest to my girls and fell off easily.


  • My son preferred to chew the Velcro strap

    0.5 out of 5

    Unfortunately neither of my little ones liked the munch mit. My eldest hates the idea of having her hand stuck in the mit and my youngest preferred to chew on the Velcro strap.


  • Ok

    3.5 out of 5

    Ok in concept as you can wash it when needed and saves on chewed sleeves but my bubs didn’t take to it unfortunately for us


  • Great little teether

    3.5 out of 5

    We found this great for our teething baby. We placed ours in the freezer to let her chew on when the teething got real bad. Wouldn’t leave it on her hand though so tended to just hold on to it.


  • Baby didn't like

    1.5 out of 5

    I’ve tried this munch mit on my daughter a few times but it’s quite big for her and she can’t manage to chew on it so just holds her hand in the air and chews her other hand. Great product idea but didn’t work for my child unfortunately


  • So adorable and handy

    3.5 out of 5

    This is a great tether whilst out in public as the Velcro keeps it steady on bubs hand. The tether is a bit large for small bubs (2-3ish months) but great for 4+ months when they really start to gnaw on things. Cute colour range and a handy pouch !


  • Stay on for younger baby

    4 out of 5

    Bit pricey than other teether, but really good for my baby who was teething very early at 3mo. Only this teether mitten stay on for her to chew, works well especially for young baby who cannot hold teether yet


  • Great

    3 out of 5

    My bubs loved this as he always shoves his hands in his mouth. I’d recommend a couple to keep washing them for hygienic reasons as they smell quickly


  • Baby loved it!

    4 out of 5

    My little one loved this munch mitt. He struggled at first to get it to his mouth but once he figured it out he didn’t stop. He still sometimes gets it out of his toy box now at 12 months ????


  • My child didn't take to it

    2.5 out of 5

    I bought one of these for my son thinking they were a great idea, but he wasn’t interested in putting it in his mouth at all so it was a useless buy for us


  • Not a fan

    0.5 out of 5

    I didn’t find this product to be hygienic for my little baby. It can get an unpleasant odour so no I’d rather not recommend it nor use it.


  • Great concept but wasn’t practical for us

    2.5 out of 5

    This was a great concept but our twins have tiny hands. No matter how much we tried to tighten they didn’t stay on,
    Slipped off every chance and way to big for their teeny tiny mouths. They used these more as weapons against each other than actually using as teething Utensils.
    Absolutely great concept but maybe need to make different sizes for different size children as not everyone is the same and would be more practical to have other options of the same product.


  • Fantastic

    5 out of 5

    My son is obsessed with shoving his hands in his mouth, so by using the munch mitt it gives him something else to suck on. It attaches really easily to his hand and he gets a lot of entertainment from it.


  • Love

    5 out of 5

    This was so perfect. It became my essential when travelling or bub in the pram. It’s such a good idea. It’s so good because bub can’t chuck it on the ground


  • handy handy!

    3.5 out of 5

    These worked well for us – especially when chilled first in the fridge… having the rubbery bit chew on seemed to really help my twins during teething, and happy bubs=happy mum


  • Funny but handy

    5 out of 5

    When I first saw this I thought it was hilarious, but it is great for little ones who always want to put their hands in their mouth.


  • Perfect

    4.5 out of 5

    My Little man has started teething and I was getting sick of wet onesie arms and him shoving his fingers halfway down his throat. This is perfect for him. Loves the soft massage.


  • Works but doesnt

    3.5 out of 5

    My baby wouldn’t use it the way it’s intended he would never put his hand in it but he would still chew on it so it worked just not the same as it was intended


  • Wasn't as good as I thought it might be.

    4 out of 5

    When I seen these teething hand mitts I thought what a great idea, so I grabbed one but it just wasn’t as good as I thought it didn’t stay on my bubs hand well, it stained with washing it and my bub just didn’t take to it.


  • Cool Concept

    4 out of 5

    I think these are a great idea, my little one was stoked to be able to munch his hand and it feel good. I think theyre great for when babies are a bit younger because as bub great he didnt want a mit on as he wanted to grasp lots of things.


  • Great concept- too big for our baby’s mouth!

    1.5 out of 5

    We bought two Munch Mits thinking what a great idea they were. The reality for us though, is that our baby cannot get the silicone teether part into his mouth. By the time he can, the rest of the mit will be too small for his hand. I feel that our money is wasted.


  • Teething Toy

    3.5 out of 5

    I purchased kids munch mitt for my son to try and help him when teething. He loves the sound it makes and plays with his mitt almost daily. I gave up trying to put this onto his hand as he pulls it off within a few seconds. He still enjoys munching on it and holding it on his own.


  • Great for teething

    4 out of 5

    I purchased this in the hope of saving hands being chewed. My LO does love it but it doesnt stay on her hand. She pulls it off and hold it to chew. But also loves the crackling sound.


  • Little gem

    4.5 out of 5

    This mitten is fantastic, its great for teething. Easy to pop in your handbag or nappy bag. My little munchkin loves drawling all over it!


  • Ok

    3.5 out of 5

    I purchased this for my bub when he was little as he got really severe eczema soon after he was born to try and stop him scratching at his face and skin. I would have been great to be able to purchase 2 together rather than just one. But I guess they’re designed more for teething than a scratching preventative. The mitt didn’t really stay on his hands anyway and he could easily take it off himself. It is a cute product though.


  • Great product!

    5 out of 5

    I bought one of these as a gift for a friends bubba and they loved it!! Fits perfect on little hands and is easy to clean and sterilise!


  • Life saver!

    5 out of 5

    This munch mit is amazing! So easy to strap on when your little one starts teething, no more dropping and having to sterilise teething rings


  • Great teether

    4 out of 5

    Great teether, easy to wash and the rubber chew finger tips and the crinkly noise keeps baby entertained. Only down side is that it does slip off small hands


  • Great teething toy

    5 out of 5

    This was great when my little bub was starting to teeth at 3 months old as he couldn’t hold onto anything and he was chewing his hands so badly, he’s now almost 11 months old and still loves to play with it and chew on it


  • Handy teether

    3 out of 5

    This teether has been handy to have. The concept is great however my daughter didn’t like to have it on her hand. She preferred to hold the mit with her hands to chew it. It has some noisy stuff in it so it keeps bubs attention


  • Great for teething babes

    5 out of 5

    I purchased this for my daughter when she started teething and she loves it still.

    It comes with its own little wash bag and is able to go in the washing machine.

    Over a year of having It and It is still in perfect condition


  • Not for every baby I guess

    3 out of 5

    I bought this before my baby was born thinking it would be great. It seems that this little man doesn’t think so; it only frustrates him. Maybe the next one will like it.


  • Perfect for those teething babes !

    4.5 out of 5

    Love it , my 4 month old is forever chewing his hands so this is perfect while he is teething.


  • Great for teething

    4 out of 5

    As babies have sore gums when teething and the teeth are coming through, this is a great product to have in the bag, he can put on his hand and munch away.


  • Teething happiness

    5 out of 5

    My little one is currently teething he constantly has his hands in his mouth to the point they are red and chapped. I got him this and he absolutely loves chewing on it. Its great because he can’t drop it and its very easy for him to get some part of it in his mouth


  • Bub just love it!

    4 out of 5

    I highly doubted before I bought it. But it ended up that my baby just love it! My baby is excited everytime I give it to him and he will open both his hands to take for munching.


  • mixed

    4 out of 5

    I loved the idea of this product especially when my daughter started teething way before she was able to properly hold a teething toy or rusk. I thought it would be great that she can have it attached and be able to chew. She could for a bit but kept finding it would slip off her hand and she couldn’t always get the right angle to be able to chew.


  • Good in theory

    3 out of 5

    I thought this would be perfect as much 4 month old was always chewing his hands but as it turned out all he wants to do when I put the mitten on is take it off. It frustrates him lol


  • Great product

    4 out of 5

    I found this to be so handy! My little one was so intrigued by it and it was much better her munching on the mit than her hand and getting her clothes wet. Definitely recommend.


  • Worth trying

    3.5 out of 5

    Fits well on little hands, sounds are enticing – bub must get good sensory feedback as he seemed to enjoy it albeit briefly. Definitely a quality product that is worth a try!


  • More of a novelty

    3 out of 5

    Bought this for the bub at chemist warehouse to help with her teething but she uses it as more of a toy than as something to chew on.
    She loves the sound it makes so just sits there crunching it.


  • Didn’t work for us

    2 out of 5

    It’s a great idea and enticing product, however my son is a regular Houdini and pulls it off and discards it within seconds. I’ve tried a number of things to get it to stay on however am yet to have any success


  • Son hated it

    3 out of 5

    When I purchased this product during my son’s teething, I had hoped it would help, but instead he completely disliked every thing about this product.


  • Perfect for teething!

    4.5 out of 5

    My son teethes bad!!
    He likes to chew on absolutely everything, but this product helps keep his chewing at bay!
    Absolutely love it, and he really enjoys it!


  • Good idea in theory

    3.5 out of 5

    I bought one of these for my three month old daughter. In hind sight, I should have bought two, because as soon as she has it on her hand, she starts to chew the opposite hand. Or she will just pull the mitt off all together. I have seen babies who loved them too. Maybe she will change her mind when she starts teething more


  • Gave it a crack!

    3.5 out of 5

    My little one wasn’t keen on having it on her hand she preferred to hold it and give it a good chewing on. Loved the crunchy sound so scrunched it as she chewed lol found it awkward to put into her mouth at the right angle when it was on her hand.


  • Pretty good

    3.5 out of 5

    My daughter really likes her munch mitt. I like that it is crinkly sounding as well as teething because she would get bored otherwise. I throw it in the washing machine with her clothes as well which is very convenient.


  • Great for babies

    5 out of 5

    I just recently purchased this mitten as much little boy is constantly sucking his hand. Took him a few goes to not screw his nose up at it but now he loves it and no more slobber in his hands


  • It’s a great mit for teething tots

    3.5 out of 5

    I didn’t mind this mit. I first bought it when bubs was 3.5 months old but I think she needed to be a bit older to use it. She’s now 6 months and naws on it like it’s going out of fashion. It’s also helped stop her sucking her thumb.


  • Fun for the baby

    3.5 out of 5

    I bought this for my 3 month old who is enjoying the texture. It is clearly well made and washes well. The only problem is that my baby has worked out how to pull it off.


  • Fantastic

    5 out of 5

    I love this I always wanted a glove for my older 2 but didn’t want to pay the $$ for only a few months of use at less than half the price of others I’ve seen advertised this is amazing!! My 4 month old loves it! Wish I knew about them for my other kids!


  • Chewlicious

    4.5 out of 5

    I thought this was a great idea when I came across it. My daughter is always chewing on her hands and dribbling a lot! This was great to stop her drooling all over her hands and judging by how she’s taken a liking to it I dare say it feels good on her gums!


  • Great!

    4.5 out of 5

    My son loves his munch mitt. It’s great for when out and about. Even when he isnt teething, it keep him entertained. But he has worked out how to take it off.
