I used MosiGuard, I had asurances from them that it was safe. I think Boots sell it. Most of all do not use DEET (diethyl toulamide(?)). Others should be safe.

Sorry, am thinking I spoke out of turn. I know that's the advice I was given years ago, but you should ask the chemist, too.

Boots do an after sun which is blue which doesnt have deet in it so should be safe (we are going to maldives and will be ttc so wont be using deet). I know of another one and when i remember i will post. If you like the smell of vicks it repels aswell.

Avon do a spray which repels called i think woodland.
