Lingo the Flamingo, designed by Deanna Austin, is a hygienic, eco-friendly and non-toxic teether with no holes.

Made from 100% natural rubber from the Hevea tree and non-toxic water-based paints.
Lingo was designed with the goal of providing children with sustainable and safe options, emphasising the importance of preserving resources for future generations. The founder selected rubber as a natural, sustainably sourced material that is safe for children, avoiding harsh chemicals that could harm skin. The rubber is biodegradable and sourced from a pre-established farming area in Malaysia, renowned for its quality. Lingo products use food-grade, water-based dyes and are rigorously audited for safety standards by an independent company to ensure compliance globally. The chosen manufacturer in South China is BSCI audited, adheres to fair-trade practices and demonstrates strong human rights ethics, having passed regulatory checks and allowing for factory tours and ongoing monitoring.
Lingo prioritises environmental sustainability in its brand practices, utilising sustainable rubber plants from Malaysia and food-grade dyes in product design, alongside fully recyclable packaging. The natural rubber used is biodegradable, enabling organic decomposition upon disposal. The product's box features a window made from 100% recyclable PET plastic. Additionally, the mailers are constructed from recyclable cardboard and secured with compostable tape, further minimising the brand's environmental footprint in response to societal concerns regarding consumption and waste.
Lingo, a young business, has been donating $1 from every sale to the Red Nose Foundation since February 2024, inspired by the owner's personal experience with stillbirth at 23 weeks and the support received from the organisation. The owner also donated unsellable Lingo the Flamingo teethers to Our Village Australia to help babies and children in need, prioritising sustainability over landfill waste. Additionally, she created a website, Within the Rainbow Journal, to share her story of pregnancy loss and to provide a safe space for others to share their experiences, aiming to build a supportive community for those navigating grief and loss, with many expressing gratitude for her openness.

Product Reviews by Experts


I loved the size of it, it was easy for my 12 month old to hold. The material also felt really nice, she loved chewing on it or just holding it in the car, my 2 year old also loved it and would ask for lingo in the car! Great for pretend play for her! I love how much thought has gone into making the toy non-toxic by using good quality materials and no holes, the owners story is incredibly touching and the way that $1 is donated to red nose from every sale is amazing. Its clear how much thought has gone into making this teether!


I love that they have designed this teether with no holes, therefore removing the threat of mould (which is rife in my area)! This is a beautiful and engaging design and my toddler has thoroughly enjoyed her Lingo Flamingo. The story behind this brand is so touching and heartbreaking. That this mother has turned her own pain into a product that can support so many is both wonderful and courageous. Im really impressed by all she stands for!


This was the stand out teether, fun cool name, easy to grab and hold and worked a treat! Committing to using non toxic products is essential for things that are being chomped on by littles so I really appreciate this product for making sure they stick by it. I love that there is no hole in the teether so it cant grow mould! I love the colour as well!
