Boots Bibs

Bibs are essential to baby life as any mother will know. They may not be the most interesting of topics to do an op on but with so many different bibs available I wanted to share my favourite bibs. Now my son has had every type of bib I can find. I don't like the tie ones as I can't keep him still long enough to tie it. The plastic backed ones are good but my husband keeps putting them in the tumble dryer and they come out all shrivelled and half the size that they should be. The bibs that catch food are hopeless for Joe, I can't seem to fit them around his chubby neck and when I do his highchair tray catches on it all of the time. The pull ...  Read the complete review

I bought some of these as the velcro fastening seemed much easier to use than the tie on ones, especially when your child hates having the ties done up and just wriggles all the time. I was very disappointed though, they didn't last very long at all. The velcro is the weak point in these bibs and after a few weeks use I found that they were starting to tear around where the velcro was attached. Some of the bibs remained in use a little longer and on those ones the plastic backing started to rip. In addition, stains didn't come out of these bibs as well as other makes (notably Tesco) so they looked old and grubby very quickly. Velcro is a great idea ...  Read the complete review

My nine month old daughter needed some bibs for our holidays and while I was shopping in Boots I spotted the disposal bibs. They were on special offer at the time (this offer has ended now) and it suddenly struck me what a fabulous idea they were for traveling! So I bought some! They are lovely and soft on the top with a plasticy type backing which stops juice/milk/food from soaking clothes. They have sticky pads to fasten the bib, though these are too sticky to pull apart without ripping the bib, but the bib is only going in the bin anyway so who cares if it tears! And they have a kind of fold over thing at the bottom to catch food - like ...  Read the complete review

You are probably thinking what can I possibly say about bibs?! Quite a lot actually! I've tried them all; tie neck, Velcro, soft cotton, pull over head, plastic back, long sleeve and catch-all plastic bibs, and found that the best combination is plastic back with Velcro fasteners. The best buy are Boots own 3 pack for £5.00 or 2 for £2.50(sounds expensive but they are well worth it). They are cotton fronted with plastic backing and Velcro fastening (easy to do up and undo with one hand), they boil wash and tumble dry extremely well (I found that cheaper bibs crinkled and split in the tumble dryer). They are very plain but they are practical and last a ...  Read the complete review
