Classic 100% natural rubber teether made in France since 1961. Multiple surface textures on legs, neck, head, and body cover different tooth positions as teething progresses.
Sophie la Girafe has been made from 100% natural rubber since 1961, and the varied surface — long legs, neck, head, and body all with different textures — provides comprehensive gum coverage for front teeth, side teeth, and molars as they emerge at different stages. The size is right for grip at 4-8 months, and the squeaky sound provides sensory engagement that extends interest past purely tactile teething. One critical maintenance note: do not submerge Sophie in water or put in the dishwasher — liquid enters through the squeaker hole and enables mold growth inside, which can't be cleaned.

- Multiple surface textures cover different tooth positions as teething progresses
- Size and weight optimized for 4-8 month grip development
Cons
- Cannot be submerged in water for cleaning — mold risk if moisture enters squeaker hole
- Natural rubber latex — not suitable for families with latex allergies
