The popularity of adult pacifiers has skyrocketed in China. There is a lot of discussion about it on social media. The news has already reached people's homes, receiving more than 68 million views. A pacifier has been sold in 10,000 units on Taobao, a popular e-commerce platform in China, priced at just 15.90 yen. 

Experts claim that these pacifiers, specially designed for adults, are rapidly gaining popularity due to their practical benefits. According to several users, it has helped them control their smoking and overeating habits. It has also increased sleep and reduced anxiety. It is said to have changed their snoring habits. Now they are happy that the sleep of the person next to them is not disturbed due to snoring.

The Douyin platform is known as the TikTok of China. There, one person claims that this pacifier has helped him reduce his excessive eating and talking habits! The pacifier trend is not only providing mental relief and physical comfort, but it has also become a new fashion trend.

Its special feature is that pacifiers are specially designed for adults. In size, children's nipples are usually larger than pacifiers. They are more comfortable to use. They look beautiful and fashionable. At least, many people in China think so.

However, it has a negative side. Experts have warned that using pacifiers for a long time can cause tooth damage and breathing problems. According to Wang Shuiling, a dentist at the Aerospace Center Hospital in Beijing, those who feel more anxious want to return to their childhood in their subconscious. Because there is comfort and security there. In Freud's language, this is called a 'defense mechanism'. This pacifier is a reflection of that. However, he said that if this habit continues for a long time, it can also increase anxiety. In addition, experts also say that since pacifiers are being used as a comforting habit for adults, it is not as natural and necessary as it is for children. While pacifiers are essential for children, in adults they are acting like a psychological therapy, which is being used as a way to reduce anxiety and stress. However, according to them, this can never be a long-term solution, and if such a habit becomes excessive, the situation can worsen unless a person receives proper mental health help.

Also, once something becomes an excessive habit, it does not take long to become an addiction. Experts also said that if the use of pacifiers or pacifiers continues for a long time, it can cause social and physical problems, such as deformed tooth formation. Such use is okay for children. Because they do not have teeth after birth. But for adults, it is abnormal. That is why it can be dangerous.

One aspect of the use of pacifiers or pacifiers is the social impact. Many things become trends overnight when they gain popularity on social media. Adult pacifiers or pacifiers are one such trend. This new trend of using pacifiers has created quite a stir in China. People have welcomed it. However, experts have repeatedly warned about its long-term effects. In their opinion, there can be no substitute for proper treatment for mental problems and diseases such as snoring and insomnia.
