It isn't a cure-all but it definitely makes a difference over time.

Yay yay yay!!!
We love ours. And even if it doesn't work (which I think it does), it looks adorable!

100% Yay!
My mom took my son's off without telling me and within an hour he was a terror. When I put it back on him (apparently boys shouldn't wear necklaces) within a few hours he was back to normal.
He's been wearing them since he was 3 months old.

Yes!! We weren't comfortable wearing it around the neck so it gets worn on the ankle. In the cooler months we make sure it is covered with a sock.

Never did end up getting one bc I got a ambivalent review from my cousin in law. But I know people who swear by them!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: This is pretty much how I feel about it!
We've had ours for about a week or so though and LO is drooling a lot less. Obviously I can't know if it's just a phase she moved past or the necklace but she looks super cute!

He actually wears 2,lol. The light ones are supposed to be more potent, but I like the dark ones so I twisted two together.

I think it helped for us, and I was willing to give anything a try that would ease their pain, so I say yay!

We didn't use one and LO wasn't that awful when teething. I think it depends on the kid though.

I voted nay, because I researched how they were supposed to work (analgesic substance absorbed via skin) and I didn't feel comfortable that any analgesic administered that way could have an effect and I wasn't confident that there were no side effects.

Nope, I don't believe in those types of things.

I can tell the difference after LO hasn't worn hers for a few hours/day (sometimes on weekends we forget or get lazy). I will think that she's drooling like crazy and then notice that we forgot to put her necklace on that day.

definitely a yay. There was a noticeable difference when she wasn't (isn't) wearing hers

I didn't buy one for DD. Don't plan on getting one for DS!

We liked it but never had a bit issue with them anyways. The price isn't very high so I think its worth it.

I voted yay even though I'm not sure it does anything yet. K's a big drooler always even with the necklace on, but the past couple days i didn't put her necklace on and her drool was INSANE. And she started jutting out her jaws and people on the plane were noticing and telling me she's starting to teeth. I put it back on her and drool cut down dramatically and she hasn't been jutting her gums out. Not scientific, but interesting coincidence if not really the necklace.

They were a godsend for a few months and really helped my kids. Not a cure all and they still needed tylenol when it was really bad, but it took the edge off and really helped stave off the crankiness.
Camilia is a liquid homeopathic that I use too. Sometimes it works better than the Hylands tablets. Slightly different formula.

I voted yay. LO has been wearing one since he was 2 months and we never take it off so we can't say if it actually works. They are inexpensive and harmless so I would definitely try them out!
@MerryC: we use Camilia as well. Our little guy goes from screaming terror to Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky in 10 minutes after one dose!

I used to put them on LO when she was small but I just never remember to now. It scared me to leave it on while she was sleeping. Maybe i'll try wrapping it around her ankle.

These necklaces are totally one of those things that I was like "I'm totally trying that for the next one" with! So when LMW was going thru teething hell we ordered one on amazon. It was so bad, though, that I don't think anything could have helped with her teething pain. We were drugging her every night with tylenol, orajel naturals, hyland's teething tablets, camilia, and eventually the necklace and she was still waking every 30 mins on the dot. By the time we were really committing with camilia, she was getting better but it's one of those things... did the camilia help, or did she just get used to the pain? or did the teeth break through? who knows. Too late now to really figure out what worked... and doesn't matter anymore!
Wagon Sr. wants to return or sell the necklace, but for some reason I can't seem to let it go! She's never even worn it for more than a few hours. Haha. Want to buy mine?

I would have considered it if necessary, but so far C hasn't been upset about any of her teeth coming in.

I managed without one just fine for my first and I don't forsee us getting one for our second, let alone a third. It just doesn't seem worth it even with the rave reviews.
