One of the best ways to ensure that air keeps circulating under mattresses and carpet underlays is to place rubber pads under them. Particularly under the mattress of a baby it is critical to ensure that there is no seepage of moisture which can make germs, fungi and bacteria begin to consider its cavities as their home. So, one option could be to place a rubber pad over the mattress. The risk here is that baby might pull it over herself and smother under it. It is safer to place the rubber pads under the mattress to provide support and ventilation since the type of rubber used will be airy and fluffy.
While on babies, remember that rubber rings used as teething rings are extremely beneficial during teething because the chewing action would help push the tooth through his swelling gums. The pain and discomfort your infant experiences during teething may cause constant mood swings, often resulting tantrums and loud cries. When you give your infant a rubber ring to chew on s/he would then be able to channel frustrations on the ring, ...

The best things about rubber rings are that they are durable and cleaned easily. Especially relevant here is the usage of rubber rings used within watches. Those who love their watches make sure to take them off when entering the saunas as the temperature difference can cause the rubber rings to expand or contract and the moisture to seep in, leading to the cloudy glass dials.
A rubber seal can be designed to achieve what is called an International Protection Rating. This rating is an industry standard to classify the degree of protection against solid objects, dust and water. The rubber seal will vary in its design according to whether the protection is required against water that is dripping, getting sprayed or splashed. Rubber seals can be produced by extrusion methods, punched from sheet if the profile is flat, molded by compression or injection methods. The best method is ultimately decided by the design of the rubber seal and the estimated quantities required.
