Adults say that they use dummy pacifiers to reduce stress and get good sleep. However, experts warn about the harmful effects of this. Health experts also say that this can cause long-term health problems.
According to a report by the South China Morning Post, these pacifiers for adults are larger than those for babies. They are available at prices ranging from 10 to 500 yuan (Rs. 123 to Rs. 6,100), according to reports.
"It's high-quality, soft, and feels good to use. It doesn't block my breathing," says one user.
Another said, "It helped me quit smoking." He also said it reduced mental stress. Another said, "When I feel stressed at work, I use this pacifier and feel at peace." He said it feels like a sense of security from childhood.
Meanwhile, Tang Gaomin, a dentist from Sichuan province, said that using pacifiers can damage the mouth and teeth, and that sellers don't tell you much about it. The doctor said that a person who uses a pacifier for three hours a day is likely to have their teeth displaced within a year.
