    The pod can be powered by either: 

    • Connecting the provided USB-C cable
    • Inserting x3 AA lithium batteries (up to 85 cycles)

    To power: Plug the pod into a household power outlet using the included USB-C cable or use x3 AA lithium batteries* for wire-free use on-the-go. 

    • Please note, the USB cable does not recharge the batteries or the pod for on-the-go use.

  • How to use

    1. Place one soother inside the NightGlow Pod.
    2. Close the lid.
    3. Press the start button on the front of the pod and hold for 2 seconds. The button will illuminate to indicate that the charging and sterilization process has begun.
    4. The cycle will take 2 minutes.
    5. Open the lid to retrieve your soother.

    Your soother is now sterilized and ready for use. If you are using a NightGlow soother, the soft glow will last for up to 9 hours*. A sterilized soother will remain sterile for up to 24 hours if the lid of the pod remains closed.

  • How does the UV Sterilization & Charging Pod work? 

    The Tommee Tippee NightGlow Pod uses UV-C light to kill up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria on soothers, bottle teats and other small baby accessories in just 2 minutes. It also uses UV-A light to charge glow in the dark dummies, so they glow gently through the night.

  • How many soothers can I sterilize at once? 

    The pod can hold 2 soothers, but for best results and to ensure a 99.9% bacteria kill rate, only 1 should be sterilized at a time.

  • Is UV sterilization safe for my baby?

    Yes. UV-C sterilization is a safe, chemical-free, and heat-free method widely used in healthcare settings. It leaves no harmful residues.

  • How long does the sterilization process take? 

    A single sterilization/charging cycle takes just 2 minutes.

  • Can I sterilize items other than soothers? 

    Yes. The pod can sterilize small baby items like bottle teats and teething toys (excluding water-filled or soft toys), as well as small personal items like keys.

  • Do I need to use water or cleaning solutions? 

    No. The sterilization process works without water, steam, or chemicals. Just place the item inside and start the cycle.

  • How is the NightGlow Pod powered? 

    To power: Plug the pod into a household power outlet using the included USB-C cable or use x3 AA lithium batteries* for wire-free use on-the-go. 

    • Please note, the USB cable does not recharge the batteries or the pod for on-the-go use. 

    *Not suitable for rechargeable batteries. Batteries not included.

  • Is the UV light harmful? 

    Direct exposure to UV-C light can be harmful, but the NightGlow Pod is designed with safety features such as automatic shut off when the lid is opened to ensure it's safe to use.

  • How often should I use the NightGlow Pod?

    You can use the pod as often as needed, especially when soothers or accessories have been dropped or exposed to germs.

    Yes. Wipe the inside of the pod occasionally with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use water or cleaning chemicals.

    An indicator light turns on during the sterilization/charging cycle and turns off when complete. Refer to the user manual for specific light indicators.

  • Does UV sterilization remove dirt or milk residue? 

    No. Always wash and dry soothers or items before placing them in the pod to be sterilized or charged.

  • How long do the UV LEDs last? 

    The UV-C and UV-A LEDs are built to last thousands of hours. If the pod stops working, check the batteries first.

  • Can I sterilize wet items? 

    No. Items should be dry before being placed in the pod, as moisture may reduce sterilization effectiveness.

  • Can I sterilize and charge a soother at the same time? 

    Yes. The pod allows simultaneous sterilization and charging, so your NightGlow soother is always clean and ready to glow.

  • Can I sterilize all types of soothers?

    Yes. The pod is suitable for sterilizing all types of soothers, including those made from latex.

  • Can I charge all types of soothers? 

    Only NightGlow soothers can be charged, as they are designed to glow in the dark.

  • What does it mean when the light starts flashing? 

    A flashing light indicates the battery is low and should be replaced.

  • Is the device rechargeable or can I use rechargeable AA batteries?

    No, the pod is not rechargeable. It must be powered using the provided USB-C cable plugged into the main power supply/socketor with x3 AA batteries (lithium recommended). Rechargeable AA batteries are not supported.

  • I charged my glow-in-the-dark soother with a UVA light, why doesn't the bright glow last for as long as I expected? 

    The soother may still be glowing, but visibility depends on the surrounding light conditions. To get the best glow, make sure the room is completely dark and give your eyes a few minutes to adjust. Even a small amount of ambient light can make the glow appear to fade quickly. Letting your eyes adapt in a dark room will help you see the glow more clearly and for longer.


    The length of glow time also depends on the type of glow in the dark soother being charged. Tommee Tippee NightGlow soothers should glow for up to 9 hours after a 2-minute charge, but the glow time of dummies from other brands may vary.
