Sniffle Buddies

With the cold and flu season upon us we moms know that means runny noses. When it comes to kids and runny noses they grab anything to wipe their noses and usually it's the sleeve of their shirt. I know it' gross that they do that, but it's what kids do. Sure we encourage them to use a tissue, but a lot of the time a tissue is not on hand or they are too busy playing to get up and get one. What to do about this, well the people at Sniffle Buddies have come up with an ingenious idea to stop those sniffles from being on the sleeve of their shirts and help the environment at the same time.

About Sniffle Buddies -

The growing up years include so many chances for our little ones to learn, love, cry, laugh, play, and unfortunately - catch sniffles.

It would be ideal for our sniffly loves to use an eco-friendly handkerchief or to use just one tissue at a time to tend their noses, but the reality is that sniffles usually end up on their sleeve or arm depending on what they're wearing.

One spring round of colds brought us to the enlightening discovery that if we put a wristband on our children they would use that to wipe their noses instead of their bare arm or hand.

One idea lead to another. We incorporated some environmentally-friendly ORGANIC BAMBOO/ ORGANIC COTTON fabric that is cashmere-like soft, more absorbent than cotton, and is said to be naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal according to testing by JTIA and CTITC*. The fabric covers elastic bands that are secured by velcro closures. *see bamboo info on Product tab.

They're sturdy and easily removable by parents. The combination is skin friendly, washable, reusable, and handy enough that our kids were eager to use them instead of their skin or clothing...or your clothing!

Until the day that our little ones can be more resourceful with an eco-friendly handkerchief or more effective and efficient with a tissue, we hope our washable, reusable SNIFFLE BUDDIES® can help catch their sniffles and lighten the load of our landfills one tissue at a time.

Our Sniffle Buddies® certainly won't cure the common cold, but we sure hope they slow the spread of colds & flu by catching some of the germs that would otherwise have ended up on their clothes or hands.


Review -
I think Sniffle Buddies are a must have for any parent with small children. You no longer have to worry about your child wiping his nose on his shirt sleeve. Simply put the Sniffle Buddy on them and don't worry about it. At the end of the day simply throw it in the wash. Not only are Sniffle Buddies great for kids, but adults can also use them for times that they are jogging, biking, etc, when they don't have time to stop and find a tissue. They are a great help during the cold and flu season and also for allergies.
