I have bought this pacifier after I decided after 6 months to change the Schulli brand. I had in mind only that my son would not accept a new pacifier. After my child to Schnulli thoroughly considered by either side and has cost it was readily accepted. There is no paint peeling off (even after repeated boil not) and the suction is also not become porous. The only restriction is that after about 2 weeks, the blue rubber edges are under way at the sign a little yellowish. Why is it I can not say I have scoured the pacifier regularly and otherwise he has gone out with the saliva of my child with nothing in contact. The pacifier had therefore to be replaced relatively quickly. Whether you would have to replace him I do not know. I was about to play it safe. Now I buy MAM pacifiers with a sign which is exclusively made of plastic. But my conclusion on the whole, is that it is a great soother !!
