by Shannon Grochowski When I was a teenager, there was nothing more soothing than taking a nap during the day while the muffled pacifying sound of the dryer in the background played its tune. Those naps were always the best. The wake up in a puddle of drool type good.
The reason why I think that sound is euphoric for me is that my bedroom was right near our laundry room as an infant. My body somehow remembers how relaxing it was.
Now I am a mother and I’m the one putting my baby for a nap. Having three other children in the house nap times for my baby were becoming somewhat of a challenge. I would finally get her to sleep and down in her cradle and then fights would break out, or someone would call for me up the stairs, and Margaret would wake up. Nap times are essential for this mama to get things done around the house so you could imagine my frustration.
I decided to give Tommy the Turtle Storytelling Soother by VTECH a try. Hoping that Margaret would love that soothing dryer sound just like I did and nap times wouldn’t be so frustrating any longer.
The one feature that really drew me into trying it is how you can swap out the stories by downloading the free app. You can even record your own stories with your voice and download it. Other features include:
- 10 relaxing lullabies
- 10 Soothing sounds which include fan, dryer, shower, shh shh, and others.
- 10 Preloaded Stories
- Soft-glow night light
Over the weeks since birth Margaret have become a pretty good sleeper, but I turn on Tommy the Turtle on those days when my children seem to be overly loud, and it helps her sleep longer than she usually would have if we hadn’t put it on. I may have even used it for a nap on dryer mode you know, for old times sake.

This sounds like a great little device and I will have to show this to my daughter, it would help her out with her little one!!
Another great vtech product! I wish this was around when my kiddo was younger.
What a unique idea! V-tech is always so innovative.
Love this!
Another great device from VTech, I love their products. This is adorable and I love the fact that it’s not just a square box but in the form of a turtle 🙂
This sounds wonderful! I love that it also doesn’t take up tons of space!
One of my daughters could use one of these, her first very, very rarely sleeps through the night. In fact just last night he woke her up by pinching her, (she also has a new baby to look after and feed at night) this might help him to sleep better too.
I love VTech! They have great product, this one would make a great gift!
Another nice product from VTech. I love the brand for gift giving.
This is such a cool device. Soothing background noise definitely helps for nap time!
One of my daughters could definitely use one of these. Her oldest son has hardly slept through a night since he was born and he’s nearly 6 yrs old!
Considering this for an upcoming shower gift!
this is such a great product! I still need white noise to sleep.
Cool products, never seen this type of product before.
Another great product from Vtech. I think it is a great idea.
I have never heard of this product before but I love it’s purpose. This would come in handy for when my daughter is home from school and my son is trying to nap.
The Tommy the Turtle Storytelling Soother sounds like a wonderful soothing machine.
This sounds so perfect for those tough bedtime moments, especially.
