Natursutten soothers are made by hand in Italy from natural rubber from the Hevea tree. They are also very soft; this is because the Natursutten pacifiers have been made from the first juice from the Hevea tree. Natursutten pacifiers are therefor very light coloured and much more soft then any other natural rubber pacifier! Natursutten pacifiers also are very hygienic because of the rubber being in one piece without joints... dirt and bacteria cannot stay behind in joints.
