Dummies with caps? Do they exist anymore?

Firstly, I apologise for how boring this is but I've tried google and now I need hive-mind!

With my first baby we used dummies with caps and I just attached the dummy to a work lanyard and when baby fell asleep and inevitably it started to fall out, I just put the cap on and carried on. I'm now expecting again and I can't find any dummies with caps anymore - only in hygiene boxes for the microwave or without caps.

Am I going insane? Do they exist anywhere? Why did they stop making them as it was soooo useful! Any and all wisdom appreciated 😊

@Dipsydoodlenoodle thanks! They all used to make them like that, which is what is so weird. We used to have Aventi ones and Mam ones but they're all boxed now. I'll investigate Asda!

Not sure what you mean by caps? All the tommee tipee andmam dummies canhave straps attached. I use themto attach to car seat or tshirt so when dummy falls out it doesn't get lost

Caps are plastic covers that cover the teat and clip on and off

@dementedpixie that's it! Just keeps them from picking up fluff or dirt if they are dangling down on a jumper or something. Also, meant that it took up less space in a change bag as you could just throw one in with a cap rather than one in a box. It seemed like such a practical, helpful thing that I can't work out why they now seem like hen's teeth to find!
