In-Depth Review
The World's Purest Pacifier
The EcoPiggy Ecopacifier is a stark contrast to the hard plastic, multi-part pacifiers sold in traditional toy aisles. Made from 100% natural rubber harvested from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, this soother is entirely biodegradable and free from BPA, PVC, phthalates, and chemical softeners. Its single-piece construction is an essential safety feature, as there are no joints or cracks where bacteria can hide or parts can break off and become choking hazards.
Environmental Impact of Natural Rubber
Unlike silicone, which is a synthetic polymer, natural rubber is a renewable resource. EcoPiggy ensures that their rubber is sourced from sustainably managed forests. At the end of its life (pacifiers should be replaced every 6-8 weeks for hygiene), this product will break down naturally in the environment rather than sitting in a landfill for centuries.
- One-piece molded design
- Sustainably tapped rubber
- Orthodontically safe options available
- Naturally soft and flexible
