Adult Pacifiers: A New Trend in China

A new trend has emerged in China, where adults are using pacifiers to cope with stress and improve their sleep. Online stores report thousands of sales each month, with prices ranging from 1 to 60 euros.

Sellers claim that pacifiers help to quit smoking and breathe properly, while buyers report a sense of security.

However, doctors warn of the risks. Dentist Tang Caomin points out potential damage to the teeth and jaw from long-term use. Psychologist Zhang Mo emphasizes that pacifier use may indicate unmet emotional needs.

Experts recommend addressing challenges with meaningful solutions, rather than childish behavior.
