Why natural rubber for baby products?
Pacifiers, bottle nipples and teething rings are often part of a baby’s everyday routine. That is why GOLDI uses 100% natural rubber – a natural, soft and flexible material with a pleasant feel in the mouth.
Naturally soft, flexible and pleasant in the mouth
Natural rubber is a natural material obtained from the milky sap of the rubber tree. It is especially interesting for baby products because it is soft, elastic and pleasantly flexible.
GOLDI uses natural rubber for pacifiers, bottle nipples and teething rings because babies use these products directly in their mouths. The feel of the material therefore plays a very important role.
In short: Natural rubber is natural, soft, elastic and pleasantly flexible. This makes it especially suitable for baby products that babies put in their mouths – such as pacifiers, bottle nipples and teething rings.

Unlike many synthetic materials, natural rubber has a warm and natural material feel. For products that babies often have in their mouths, this pleasant feeling is an important advantage.
