The ARK SolaBite™ is a chew with a lot of character! Whether you think it looks like a sun, a starfish, a ninja star, or anything in between - sensory seekers will love all of the variation and texture. It has five different pointed arms to chew on, each with a different texture: smooth, striated, treaded, ribbed, and bumpy.
The texture on each arm also increases in intensity as you move clockwise around the chew, with the smooth arm providing the least amount of sensory input and the bumpy arm providing the most. Whether you're at school, work, or just need a moment to self-regulate, the SolaBite™ is a safe and effective solution. it’s available in 3 color-coded toughness levels to suit all chewing needs:
- Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
- XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). This is the toughest level.
Caution: This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Not recommended for children under 5 years of age.
Although the Ark chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals particularly those with strong oral sensory needs or who chew aggressively may be able to damage them in a short period of time. The lifespan of each tool depends on a variety of factors, including individual chewing intensity and whether the user is receiving support from an occupational therapist.
Please supervise use at all times and replace the item if it shows signs of wear and tear. We are unable to offer refunds for chews that have been used. Finding the right chew is often a process of trial and error—please contact us for help and advice.
