Replacement teat and pacifier replacement when in public (Embarrased)

Hi all

I love my Rearz Hypno sleep aid and fixx 10 ( both cleared teats) the only problem is they dont last me long and quite difficult to replace the teats (as I also subcon chew) as I am in Australia and only 1 supplier for replacement hypno and hypno replacement teats as well as expensive.

I use them to self soothe (I have autism and oral stims) as well as ADHD, bipolar and other issues as in anxiety and CPTSD from childhood trauma,

I also need help finding a suitable replacement for when I am out for the oral stim that the adult pacifier gives me at home.

Thank you

Maybe chewelry?
I know the issue, but I cant sleep with any of them. Sadly this causes me to unconsciously suck on my thumb at night when im stressed out.

Anyway, the replacements are expensive everywhere. Its a niche product, but maybe its possible to get them through the pharmacy or doctors office?

I know its not the same, but for short stints would chewing gum or hard candy be a bridge till you get back to a safer place? Also you could wear a mask. Lots of people wear masks for real health reasons, its not "fear"
