The lovely people at Funky Giraffe Bibs have sent me some of their lovely bandana bibs for Oscar to review.

The bibs are made using soft cotton fronts and a fleece backing to wick away any moisture and keep necks and chests dry. To me this is essential at the moment as Oscar is just starting teething and proving to be a real dribble monster so he is permanently wearing a bib! The bandana bibs are shaped to fit around baby’s neck and have 2 press stud fastenings so that they can be adjusted to fit your baby.

Looking at their website there are 100′s of beautiful designs so you are guaranteed to find one to match any outfit and with the prices being 4 for £8.50 or 10 for £19.50 including delivery I think that’s a bit of a bargain compared to the price of many bandana bibs on the market today!

Now the practical part (because I’m always practical really ;) ), the washing instructions on the bib does say 30 degree wash only but as with all my washing I chucked them in with the rest of my brights at 40 degrees and then into the tumble drier and they came out perfectly fine (OK so I like to live dangerously :) )

Along with the bibs we were also sent some Antibacterial handwash and some citrus soap by a lovely new company called Bubble and Balm

They say “The anti-bacterial handwash is naturally formulated using a blend of plant-derived oils and glycerine, and is free from triclosan, sulphates and artifical colours and fragrances. The essential oil anti-bacterial formulation is effective against MRSA, E Coli and other nasties. The hand wash contains Fairtrade sugar from Malawi – sugar acts as a skin softener and mild cleanser”.

Now I don’t exactly know what all that means but I like the sound of natural and Fairtrade! Oh and it smells lovely!

The citrus soap also contains Fairtrade sugar, lots of lovely natural stuff and is free from sulphates, artifical colours and fragrances. The aluminium tin also doubles as a handy soap dish to avoid those soggy soap marks you get! I love this soap and it smells lovely and fresh :)
