Our funky cardigan design ensures that ScratchSleeves stay firmly in place while still being quick and easy to put on. 100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin from even the most vigorous scratching while the loose fitting and 100% stretch cotton sleeves ensure babies and children stay cool and comfortable. Dye-free & zinc-free for super sensitive skin. ScratchSleeves can be used day or night and can be worn over or under regular clothing. For older children and more independent toddlers we recommend wearing ScratchSleeves under a t-shirt, pyjama or strapped top (such as dungarees or pinafores) to ensure that they are difficult for the child to remove without help. Effective scratch mitts designed for babies, toddlers and children with eczema but equally effective in combating scratching at other skin irritations, including chicken pox and post surgical healing, hair-pulling, thumb-sucking, protecting feeding-tubes, and much more. Machine washable at 40 degrees using non-biological detergent. Can be tumble-dried. We advise ordering based on your child’s wingspan measurement, please use our size chart to help you select the correct size. Smaller sizes (up to 9 months) have no shoulders and a cut-away neck line to keep little ones as cool as possible and so ScratchSleeves are easy for parents to use. We have added shoulders to the larger sizes to keep them fitting comfortably and to ensure that ScratchSleeves stay firmly in place on more active children. Our junior sizes are designed to fit a maximum chest measurement of 84cm. Please note that these ScratchSleeves have sewn in mitts that cannot be opened. If you require opening mitts then please see our flip-mitt bodysuits. “I was nervous at first because my 20 month old daughter hates when excess fabric from her sleeves touches her hands. We use the scratch sleeves for when she sleeps, and at first she kept saying, “uh oh, uh oh”, but due to the softness of the fabric she got used to it and doesn’t fight us when we put them on. Her eczema is getting better because she is unable to scratch herself at night, and we’re all sleeping better because she isn’t screaming at night because she scratched till she bled. Thank you for the great product!” – Jacob
