PPSU Bottles and Teats

Q: What are Pigeon PPSU bottles made from?

Pigeon PPSU bottles and teats are made from premium-grade Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), a durable plastic engineered for strength, heat resistance, and safety. PPSU combines the safety and hygiene benefits of glass with the lightweight convenience of plastic, making it ideal for everyday feeding. The naturally yellow and honey-toned clarity comes from the material itself—no artificial colouring is added. All Pigeon PPSU bottles are BPA-free and BPS-free, with no harmful chemicals that could contaminate your baby's feed.

Q: Are PPSU bottles safe for breastmilk and formula?

Yes. Pigeon PPSU bottles are safe for both breastmilk and formula feeding. The premium-grade material is non-toxic and free from BPA and BPS, ensuring your baby's feed remains uncontaminated. Our bottles are trusted by families practising regular bottle feeding and are compatible with Pigeon's full range of SofTouch teats and accessories.

Q: Can PPSU bottles be sterilised by boiling, steaming, or UV light?

Yes, PPSU bottles are heat-resistant and durable enough for all sterilisation methods. You can safely sterilise them by boiling water, steam sterilisers, and UV sterilisation units without the bottle deforming or losing its natural clarity. This flexibility makes PPSU bottles ideal for parents who like to rotate between sterilisation methods or use multiple approaches throughout the day.

Q: Do PPSU bottles develop stains or odours over time?

No. One of PPSU's key advantages is that it is naturally resistant to bacteria, stains, and odours. Unlike some standard plastics that can absorb food particles and smells, PPSU retains its natural honey-toned appearance and freshness even with regular use and frequent sterilisation. This means your bottles stay looking and smelling clean, without stubborn residue or discolouration.

Q: Are PPSU bottles compatible with Pigeon teats and accessories?

Yes. All Pigeon PPSU bottles are fully compatible with our SofTouch teats and feeding accessories, including training straws, drinking cups, and bottle handles. This compatibility allows you to customise your feeding setup as your baby grows and transitions from bottle to independent drinking.

How do I care for and clean PPSU bottles?

PPSU bottles are easy to clean and maintain. You can wash them by hand with warm soapy water or use a dishwasher (top-shelf safe). The material is durable enough for daily dishwashing and retains its natural honey tone without clouding. For best results, air-dry naturally or use a soft cloth. Always ensure bottles are completely dry before storage to prevent mould growth.

"Definitely a great drinking cup for daily use. It is compact, lightweight and easy to grip. The bright colours make it more appealing to the little one. I personally found it is easy to take apart and clean. So far we love it!"

I bought it a month ago, seems to work fine. My babies skin is not red anymore. Feels good to use on my baby.

"This bottle is great for my 9 month old. It’s light weight and he is able to independently drink from the bottle. The weighted straw makes it easy for him to drink from all angles."

"I’m a big fan of the liquid cleanser, so I thought I’d give this baby bottle spray a try. It works really well for quick cleans and wipe-downs. Just like the cleanser, it doesn’t leave any chemical smell, and you don’t have to spend ages wiping to make sure everything’s clean."

"I bought this tonight for my 5 mo after trying 5 other brands of bottles and at my wits end. The teat was exactly what I was looking for and he didn’t resist it being given as much as he would the others. Cannot wait to try more and hopefully transition!!! Thank you!"
