- Cross-over front with two hook and loop fastenings ensures that these ScratchSleeves stay firmly in place on the most determined wrigglers.
- 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.
- 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. Ensure fastenings are closed before washing.
We advise ordering based on your little one’s wingspan measurement, please use our size chart to help you select the correct size.
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.
“Best eczema control product out there. Well made and they last for ages. They feel lovely against my toddlers skin and have helped to heal her to the point of very minimal eczema! I love their velcro sleeves and the striped PJ tops” – Andromeda
Delivery
We make every effort to dispatch orders received before 3.00pm UK time Monday to Friday on the same day. On Saturdays we aim to dispatch all orders received before 10.30am UK time on the same day. Very occasionally this is not possible, in which case your order will be dispatched on the next working day. No orders are dispatched on Sunday.
We use the First Class or Airmail service as appropriate, unless the tracked service has been selected at checkout. In some areas we only offer the tracked service, in this case it will be automatically selected at the checkout.
Our shipping rates are set at a flat-rate per order, regardless of how many units you purchase.
We have designed our packaging so that orders of one or two items will fit through standard letter boxes. Your postman should be able to deliver these orders without disturbing you. Larger orders may require you to be available to take delivery and on occasion a signature may be required.
Overseas orders typically take 5-10 working days to arrive, although this does depend on the efficiency of the local postal service.
Orders with EU shipping addresses will be charged VAT at their local rate, this will be added at the checkout and remitted by us to the appropriate country. Please note the website prices include UK VAT which is charged at 0% for children’s sizes and 20% for adult sizes.
Unfortunately we are unable to ship orders of over 150 EUR (including shipping) in the EU.
Non-EU overseas customers are responsible for Import Duty/Tax in their respective countries. We cannot advise you what these costs will be, please consult your local customs office for more information. We will attach the appropriate customs forms to all overseas shipments.
