If you are looking to find the right chew necklace for you but feel overwhelmed not knowing what to choose, this could be a helpful guide to help you find the right chewelry for you.
I am Ashley Lauren Spencer, the owner of The Autistic Innovator, and I have personally tested every chew necklace on this list. I am both a moderate and hard chewer, so I put the necklaces through rigorous testing to see how well they could meet all chew stimming needs.
No matter what type of chewer you are, this collection has a necklace for you.
What are your chew stimming needs?
Everyone has different stimming needs with chewing. You could chew hard, medium, or light.
Hard chewers need durability and longevity in their chew necklaces. You might bite down hard on objects you use to chew stim with and can wear down the objects quicker. There are necklaces in this collection that can withstand hard chewers stimming needs.
Some light chewers like to bite down more softly and might have sensitive teeth. Chew necklaces that are thinner and slightly flexible could be a good fit for you.
Moderate chewers are in the middle of hard and light chewers. You might prefer both bendable chew necklace pendants that are softer to bite down on while also chewing and biting down hard sometimes too. It might take you longer to wear down your chew necklaces.
We will review nine chew stim necklaces to help you find the right one, all available here on The Autistic Innovator.
Which Chew Necklace is Right for You?
Heart Chew Necklace by The Autistic Innovator
The Heart Chew Necklace is an exclusive chew necklace only available in The Autistic Innovator.
Every part of this chew necklace was designed by me, the owner of this store.
The texture is raised, thicker, and durable to both give a satisfying texture and keep the chew necklace from wearing down with hours of chewing.
It was made with love for hard and medium-hard chewers to provide a more comfortable alternative to traditional hard chewer necklaces that are usually much thicker.
This heart pendant is thin and very flexible, so it bends while you bite and chew.
It's a great and satisfying chew necklace for medium-hard and hard chewers who need a satisfying pendant to chew.
Shark Tooth Chew Necklace
The Shark Tooth Chew Necklace is one of the most popular chew necklaces. If you are a moderate chewer, this is a great chew necklace for you.
When holding the pendant with your hands, the necklace is slightly bendable at the corners and rigid in the middle.
Depending on how hard you chew, the Shark Tooth Chew Necklace may or may not bend while chewing. It’s got a more stiff feel, which is excellent for those who are moderate chewers.
The pendant is thinner and fits nicely between your teeth. The triangle shape makes the corners easily chewable from only one side of your mouth. It’s not wide enough to chew on with all of your teeth at once, but it's great for the side chewers.

Best for Moderate Chewers
Teardrop Chew Necklace
The Teardrop Chew Necklace is perfect for sensitive teeth and light chewers.
It’s got a smooth, soft feel that’s easy to bite down on and doesn’t feel stiff when chewing on the pendant.
When biting down on the pendant, it feels cushiony. It’s still firm enough to be durable but is much more gentle on the teeth for those needing something softer.
This chew necklace is also great for those who like to chew with all their teeth at once. The pendant is a larger size, so it's perfect for that type of stim chewing.
There are no ridges or textured sides like most of the necklaces in this collection, making this an excellent fit for light chewers with sensitive teeth.
Hard chewers could wear down this pendant quickly with strong chewing.
Another plus is that it looks like a regular fashion necklace and is much more discreet.

Best for Light to Moderate Chewers
Prism Pendant Chew Necklace
The Prism Pendant Chew Necklace is exceptionally durable.
I spent five to six hours a day, two days in a row chewing nonstop on this pendant, and it withstood all my moderately hard chewing. Not a single scratch or dent on it, and it did not break.
It’s a thin and long pendant, so it fits nicely between your teeth without having to open your jaw so much.
The pendant has a stiff and more rigid feel, but this is what makes it so durable.
Moderate to light chewers could find this necklace too hard for your chewing needs. But this is a great necklace for you if you are a hard chewer.

Best for Moderately Hard Chewers
Textured Prism Chew Necklace
This Textured Prism Chew Necklace is one of my favorites.
It’s barely flexible and has a stiff feel with your hands, but biting down hard on the pendant is like chewing on a squishy pillow. Even if you lightly chew on it, the pendant gives a light squishy feel.
There are lightly textured bumps on the bottom half of the pendant where you chew, so I wouldn’t recommend this one for sensitive teeth.
The Textured Prism Chew Necklace is a winner for light to hard chewers. I rate this perfect for every type of chewer.

Best for Light to Medium Chewers
Leaf Chew Necklace
This Leaf Chew Necklace is perfect for light chewers.
It's very thin and the veiny texture on the leaf pendant provides a satisfying texture to chew on.
It's also very flexible and bends when you chew on it lightly.
The Leaf pendant might not be right for a medium chewer, but it is perfect for someone who needs a very thin and flexible chew pendant to bite down on.

Perfect for Light Chewers
Donut Chew Necklace
This Donut Chew Necklace has a nice squishy feeling the harder you bite down.
It is durable enough for a medium-hard chewer's needs.
Medium chewers can also find this Donut Chew Necklace very satisfying to spend hours chewing on.
Hard chewers could find this necklace durable enough for them too!\

Good for medium to medium-hard chewers
Mini Prism Chew Necklace
This Mini Prism Chew Necklace is perfect for chewers who need a small pendant, especially for those with smaller mouths.
While this store was designed for adults, this chew necklace is good for kids too. Just make sure they are older than 5 years old, because chew necklaces are a choking hazard for the little ones.
The Mini Prism pendant is about half the length of the regular Prism Pendant Chew Necklace mentioned earlier.
It's also durable and good for medium chewers.
If light chewers don't mind a firmer pendant, it could be good for light chewing due to it's smaller size.

Good for Light-Medium Chewers to Medium Chewers
Protractor Chew Necklace
The Protractor Chew Necklace is a larger pendant, firm, and durable enough for medium chewing.
Math lovers, especially, can find this math-themed chew pendant to be extra satisfying.
It's larger width makes it good for chewing on with your whole mouth at once.
This one-of-a-kind chew pendant is perfect for medium chewers.
