There is a bizarre stress-relief trend sweeping through China these days – thousands of grownups are relying on adult pacifiers to mitigate stress symptoms like anxiety and insomnia.

From work-related stress and financial burdens like mortgages and car payments, to complex interpersonal relationships, modern life is full of anxiety-inducing problems, but who would have thought that the humble pacifier could help mitigate these issues? Well, apparently, Chinese adults have, because the popularity of adult pacifiers has turned into a full-blown craze in the Asian country, with thousands of young adults spending between 10 and 500 yuan ($1.40 and $70) on plastic pacifiers. They are often sold as stress and anxiety relief products or sleep aids, and for many people overwhelmed by daily life, these simple marketing phrases are enough to trigger a buying impulse. Chinese e-commerce platforms are full of offers for adult pacifiers, and the most successful stores sell thousands of them every month.

Chinese psychologists explain the surging popularity of adult pacifiers through a concept known as the “regression phenomenon”. It theorizes that “when people are faced with extreme stress and insurmountable problems, they tend to unconsciously regress to an earlier stage of development, and the pacifier symbolizes the security and comfort of infancy.”

But do adult pacifiers actually help relieve stress? Chinese news website Sohu recently did a report on the pacifier craze and analyzed social media comments and product reviews related to adult pacifiers. Apparently, many users claim that they “definitely feel less stressed when I bite on it while working,” “sleep better,” and “feel as calm as a little baby.” However, experts warn that using pacifiers for long periods of time can have serious health consequences.

Dr. Tang Caomin of Sichuan University’s Huaxi College of Stomatology warned that “the oral structure of adults is completely different from that of babies. Prolonged use of pacifiers can cause temporomandibular joint disorder, resulting in joint pain, clicking sounds, and even limited mouth opening.”

“It also poses a threat to the oral mucosa,” Tang added. “The material and design of adult pacifiers may not be suitable for the oral environment of adults, and prolonged use can cause mucosal damage and ulcers. There are also safety issues when using them while sleeping. If you sleep with a pacifier in your mouth, it can interfere with breathing, and in the worst case, there is a risk of suffocation.”

We’ve seen some unusual stress relief methods over the years, from cuddling with cows to punching a stress coach, but using a pacifier as an adult definitely ranks up there with the most bizarre.

Damn I'm bricked up now. Really need an adult pacifier enjoying Asian gf.

You read the headline that is enough.

can't they just chew gum?

you know now that you think about it.
when you are stressed you tend to grind your teeth.
when I had a flip roommate he used to grind his teeth hardcore in his sleep.
Im pretty sure I used to do it if I don't still do.
My front teeth seem to be wear down but I think thats becuase I bite my nails. and have bitten them for a long time.

Honestly sucking on a pacifier probably has less microplastics.

>>512341330 (OP)
Life in China is completely nightmarish, so I can understand why people would resort to these strange coping mechanisms. Still kinda gross though.

>>512350210
Do you have a current link? The one I had in my bookmarks was nuked

>>512351736
sauce?

>>512351736
That wasn't because of stress and googoo good times, that was because of lots of people taking E.
E was pretty much the official drug of the 90s.

cute

>>512350210
the opposite. When baby use it, it get stronger jaw, teath and gums (when anyone use it rly)
the issue is microplastic
just chew hard dried meat or something eatable that is hard to chew

>>512341330 (OP)
it's nice when cute girls use them
