ARK Goshabunga Large Grabber® (Textured)

We have a 13-year-old with SPD. This product has been fantastic for them and has reduced their habit of chewing on unsafe objects. It's very tough and durable for the active chewer (we purchased the blue extra tough). This product seems to satisfy our teen's intense chewing needs more effectively than other textured products that we have tried.

As a parent of a 3-year-old boy with sensory issues, I’ve found ARK’s Goshabunga Large Grabber (Textured) to be a game-changer. This product is more than just a chew toy; it’s a therapeutic tool that has significantly helped my son. The large loop design is perfect for little hands to grasp. My son can easily hold onto it, which makes him feel more in control and secure when he’s using it. This is a big deal for us, as finding something that he is comfortable holding can be a challenge. The long extension of the grabber is another feature I appreciate. It reaches back to his molars, which is where he tends to chew the most. This has been instrumental in strengthening his jaw and improving his chewing skills, something we’ve been working on for a while. The tactile bumps on the grabber provide that extra sensory input he often seeks. These bumps seem to offer him a soothing experience, and I’ve noticed they help in calming him down during his more anxious moments. I love that there are different toughness levels available. Right now, we’re using the softest one, which is gentle for his young age and developing teeth. It’s comforting to know that as he grows and his needs change, there are tougher options available. The fact that this product is made in the USA adds a layer of trust regarding its safety and quality. I feel confident that my son is using something that’s well-made and durable. In conclusion, the ARK’s Goshabunga Large Grabber® has been a valuable addition to our sensory tools. It’s not only helped in my son’s oral development but also provided a safe and effective way for him to satisfy his chewing needs. I highly recommend it to other parents who are navigating the challenges of sensory issues with their children.

My son is a very aggressive chewer and these are fantastic.

I don't have any of the usual diagnoses you might expect to find in a review section for a product like this, but I do have a whole host of body-focused destructive behavior. Fingernail biting, lip chewing, finger chewing, etc, etc. I finally decided to bite the bullet (pun intended) and try this solution, and boy, I'm kicking myself for not doing this earlier! I use the lightest toughness rating, since I'm not chewing too hard, and it's worked wonderfully. My lip skin is finally starting to grow back smooth now that I have something else to chew on and I couldn't be happier. So, if you're reading this and on the fence about whether you're "____ enough" (sick enough, suffering enough, mentally ill enough, disabled enough, etc) to get one of these- take it from me and buy the darn thing anyway. It's worth it.

My husband has Lewy Body Dementia and started chewing on his clothes. The neuro’s assistant suggested these to satisfy the urge to chew. They work! He holds onto it and has it around his neck with the breakaway cord attached. This is my second order, always an extra on hand.

As an SLP I LOVE the variety of structure each different color has. The blue P has been extremely helpful with clients who love to chew and bite as it helps provide great hard oral feedback when biting on the chewy.

My daughter is 25 and has an ultra-rare genetic disorder. She requires the largest possible chewie as she will get the smaller items in her mouth presenting a choking hazard. These are great as far as size goes, but she chews them to the point of breakdown within a week to two weeks. She has SSI and Medicaid but at the rate she goes through them, she simply cannot afford them. I'd love it if there was a way to purchase them in bulk at a significant discount if possible. Thanks.

I'm 30 years old and have a horrible habit of picking the skin around my finger nails and constantly need to keep my hands busy. So I went with the standard level since I'm not really chewing on anything hard... and was looking for something to maybe fidget with. Loveeeee the size of this and the extra texture is super calming to rub my fingers through

My son really enjoys this chew, especially since it has a "collapsible" sensation of chewing when he chews on the end even though it isn't hollow and is the toughest material offered. It's also large sized so I don't have to worry about him choking on it or it being misplaced as easily as some of the other chews we have. The down side is that he has already managed to damage the end with chewing and we've only had it about 2 weeks. I was hoping since it was the toughest available it would have held up longer than it has and now I'm watching it closely to make sure it doesn't become a choking hazard.

I have alway bought the extra rough grabbers in the past for my son but I lobe this bigger size as his hands get bigger!!!

Bought for my husband in Alzheimer's. Everything goes in his mouth, so I got these that I don't have to take away from him Bought a firm, smooth one, and this textured one in medium. He really seems to like the extra "chewyness." Gave 4 stars because I don't know how long it'll last.

I am so excited that you made this enlarged, extra tough product. Took to my 19 yo patient and she could not stop smiling and chewyin
