You can now buy a dummy which pops closed whenever it’s dropped – saving mums the gross chore of sucking it clean

A DUMMY which pops shut when it’s dropped on the floor could spell the end of searching for clean dummies – or sucking dirty ones.

Mums will know how annoying it is bending over a hundred times a day to pick up a dummy, then having to find a way to clean it ASAP while your child screams at you.

But that could all be a thing of the past after a company invented the Pop Pacifier, which sees the teat retract when your child drops it out their mouth.

Made by Doddle & Co, the ‘self-protective’ dummy will only snap shut when it takes a hard knock, so if it gently falls next to them while they’re sleeping it won’t shut.

Explaining their creation, The company said: “The nipple was designed to only have a pullback when it takes a real tumble to the floor or the ground.

“Otherwise, if it falls on baby’s chest or crib, the nipple will stay extended & ready for baby.

“You can push the nipple until it locks into place, but don’t over push it. Just until it doesn’t pop back.”

The Pop costs £8.30 and comes in five ‘ethereal ‘colours, and parents are praising the nifty gadget as a “great idea”.

Commenting on Instagram, one mum said: “Here it is. Day 1 and it’s awesome!

Another described them as: “These are the BOMB!!!”

While a third said: “Pop is the ONLY pacifier in our house!!”

And this mum added: “This is just brilliant.”
