Hi Deandra, thank you for this review. I am glad that you think our product is the best your daughter has tried and I totally understand about the price but unfortunatley we don't sell very many of these gloves and this will keep the price high. As for the side teethers these tend to be very robust and don't damage easily but please be aware that these are being chewed on by sharp teeth. Teeth are designed to tear through things if chewed on hard enough. This will always happen eventually and it doesn't matter what material we use teeth will get through them eventually. Unfortunatley, the nature of the product and the problem it is solving, checking the product for wear and tear will always be needed. Thanks, Steve Boothby, Gummee Daddee.
