   @dramypsyd @AutisticInnovator Thankfully, sucking works for me. Else I gnaw through things and damage my teeth.

     @AutisticInnovator as a “hard chewer” who has bit through several so-called durable chew necklaces, I appreciate you sharing this 💜

     It's pretty crazy how mad competitors are getting that I'm educating consumers.

     One of them has a lot of money and has heavily attacked my store to try to destroy it's revenue, so my store's traffic is almost next to nothing right now. But I will not stop educating people!

     I added a bit to my Chew Necklace Safety article, so all the competitors are really not going to like this. But who cares! People need to know these things.

     I'm tired of the industry always blaming the child/adult chewing it instead of taking accountability that the problem is structural, not the silicone material, and not the chewer's fault.

     I've figured out that one of the best ways to force the entire sensory toy and chew necklace industry to start having safety standards, is to make my store build an exemplary bar so high that everyone is forced to build safety standards or lose customer trust. Right now everyone does the bare minimum and there are ZERO safety standards with these toys being marketed at parents of autistic kids, and same with chew necklaces. It's unacceptable, so hopefully my store can wake them up. Even though I want people to buy from me so I can have a place to live, pay all my bills, and afford food, I still want EVERYONE to have high standards for safety, because right now no one gives a shit.

     It must be starting to work because I'm getting hater troll fake reviews all of a sudden while I transform my store.
