Hello - I was wondering if you could help with a question.

[tinder]

I hope this isn't seen as SPAM as it is a genuine enquiry.

I run a business named Giggleicious, making gifts and clothing for babies and toddlers. One of my product lines is bandana bibs (see picture at the end of post). Recently at a craft fair a lady approached me and told me her daughter has to get her 7 year old sons bibs made by a local lady as she cannot find any nice bibs for him.
I have had a search and have found some bibs but there does seem to be a lack of funky nice colourful bibs for both adults and teenagers. I have often seen special needs older children and adults where a muslin or piece of towel is used instead.

I was wondering if you think that there us a lack of nice bibs for both younger children, teenagers and adults? If so, do you think there is a need for a plastic layer to be between the cloth to help with protection of clothing and would a toweling back be preferred? (Currently mine are cotton both sides with not waterproof layer.)

Thank you for your time and help.

Kind regards

My ds doesnt need bibs but will bump this for you, i think its a lovely idea well done you!!

I think a few people use the larger size bandana bibs. We use muzzis (dyed funky colours) because it's only really for mealtimes and that's sufficient. As a drool bib I think you'd want a plastic or upvc backing. Anyway, try cross-posting on www.specialkidsintheuk.org - they have a fair proportion of bib wearers there who could give you feedback on what they currently use.

I make my own and use PUL as a backing, cotton side out.

tbh mos of the young people I know wear the badana type ones. i think if you have a teen you want to get away from bibs.

Thanks for the info. PUL sounds like just what I am looking for thank you. I can't find Muzzies though. Is that how it is spelled? And I'll head over to that site thank you.

2shoes - I can look at other designs but I think maybe it's a difficult one. I think bibs are bibs how ever you look at them and bandana bibs would surely be preferable to a piece of towel? This is for teenagers and adults that need something a lot of the time rather than just at meals. I will research views on bibs for teenagers and adults further though as well.
