Why Are Pacifiers Becoming A Growing Trend Among Adults In China?

Adult pacifiers are gaining popularity in China, with many people turning to them as a way to cope with "stress and anxiety".

Reportedly, one buyer on a shopping platform reviewed the product, saying, “It is high quality, soft, and I feel comfortable sucking it. It does not impede my breathing."

Another added, “It is amazing in helping me quit smoking. It gives me psychological comfort and makes me not so fidgety during my smoke cessation periods."

A different person said, “When I am under pressure at work, I suck on the dummy. I feel I am indulged in a sense of safety from childhood."

Alrighty then. What happened to gum or maybe chew on a toothpick you bunch of babies!

Better than smoking or chaw or snuff.

Whatever floats their boat.

Wouldn’t be my personal choice, but it’s harmless.

There was a brief fashion in the 90s here with pacifiers. I think it lasted a couple of years and was associated with the rave scene.

but it’s harmless.

Or isn't it? Guess we'll see if some start looking like Mr. Ed.

doctors still warn people against using adult pacifiers. They have warned that using such tools over a period of time can cause oral problems such as damage to your teeth and misalignment, changes in jaw shape, changes in the roof of your mouth, infections and speech problems, among other things.

Wait till we see what the Doctors will say when they hear about the dangers of the tobacco products I mentioned.

Probably helped people on a ton of MDMA avoid grinding their teeth.

Of course it's a terrible, unhealthy habit. But if you feel you need a binky to cope with work stress, maybe there is something that needs some attention.

Everybody needs something. Most people anyway. Some things are healthier than others, and like all things, moderation is key.

That explains a lot, magats must have been sucking on nipples for years.....until trump came along.

Like some babies, their thumb is always available for that.

Let's all pitch in and buy Trump a couple.

Not as stupid as Chia pets.

Great, just f'ing great... you watch... this will somehow kickoff a social media trend, all the Gen Zers will say "bet!," starting ordering them in all sorts of styles and colors, next thing you know all of them will be running around with adult pacifiers at Taylor Swift and Beyoncé concerts.

"Thanks China!"

Except for the Bob Ross one. His doo was destined for a Chia.

Creepy AF. Trying to recall them from old photo I remember reading something about.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

When I want to relieve stress I come here and read the inane comments by some and have a good belly laugh. Works every time.
Either that, or smoke a joint, that works too.

Someone needs to come up with a Xenomorph "facehugger" pacifier. Adult or baby. Doesn't matter. It'd be a bestseller for sure.

During Covid's speed-balling freight train years of '20 & '21, i saw face masks like that.

I made this item years ago for my Alien-loving niece, when she was pregnant! It took me forever to actually design it and write it up years later, when her baby is already in school! As an Alien fan myself, I couldn’t keep this one to myself in good conscience. Enjoy!
