If someone does chew through things, it’s possible they may need the toughest XXT level eventually. Unless someone chews through or causes damage to anything else they chew on (chews through pencils, chews holes in shirts, etc.), in which case the XT level would be longer lasting. Usually we recommend going with the softest/standard level by default. XXT / Super Firm - this is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough") It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm.

XT / Medium Firm - this is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough") It's firmer, but still fairly chewy.Soft / Standard - this is the softest and chewiest level.It would be wonderful to have a smaller version of this product for that population.ĪRK chew tools come in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
