In need of a stress reliever? The next time you think about picking up a drink or going to that expensive yoga class, try popping in a pacifier first. Yes, you read that right. The new trend from China is slowly bubbling here in the U.S., where adults are leaning on the power of pacifiers to soothe themselves from life stressors.
According to the New York Post, binkies have been a hot commodity in China, with adults flocking to sites like Taobao and JD.com to purchase one. Customers are willing to spend anywhere from a budget-friendly 10 yuan ($1.40) to a luxury 500 yuan ($70). Now that trend appears to be picking up steam here in the U.S. Just like users in the Far East, customers in the West are also popping in a binky for a range of reasons, primarily to manage anxiety, sleep problems, stress, and to help quit smoking.
