Did you think you see someone adult using a pacifier? Yes, this scene is no longer as rare as it seems! After viral in China and South Korea, the fashion of “adult pacifiers” has landed in the West and is already keeping the speech here in Brazil.
In Tiktok, several videos show that people who show off their personalized pacifiers and claim that the accessory helps to reduce stress, anxiety, binge eating and even improve sleep.
Some users even compare their habit with pungent nails or shake their leg during the day: a type of repetition that calms. But before running to buy one, it’s nice to hear the other side of the story.
In an interview with G1, a USP pediatric dentist teacher says using the pacifier “It is like badly to solve another. It would be comparable to smoking to face anxiety“In addition, there are serious risks for oral health, such as the retraction of the tires, the open bite and even the deformation of the prosthesis.
The discussion also arrived on social networks, in which many comments raise an important question: would this habit not be a way to “escape” the responsibilities of adulthood? Some Netizen claim that the pacifier gives only a momentary relief, but does not really solve the causes of stress or anxiety.
Alternatively, experts recommend looking for psychological support, bet on practices such as meditation, exercise or even a good relaxing tea. After all, returning to childhood for a few minutes may seem funny, but health (and smile!) Deserve the care of great people.
And you would have the courage to test this fashion?
