Extended Mitts
Designed for little ones who rub with their wrists or use their sleeves to scratch
100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin
Designed for littles one's who have previously worn holes in the cotton above the mitts, by getting their thumbs or fingers up and over the silk to scratch with. Experience shows that the extended silk mitts should help to stop little one's wearing holes in this way, as they are unable to reach the cotton with their thumbs or fingers and therefore use the silk mittens to scratch with as intended.
- Silk mitts extend further up the arm than our other ScratchSleeves.
- 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. 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. 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.
The extra extended layer on the mitts will add an extra layer of warmth, so it is advised to keep an eye on your little one's temperature. We would only recommend purchasing this style if your little one is managing to wear holes in their existing ScratchSleeves, by getting their thumbs up and over the silk to scratch with.
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.
Delivery
Orders placed before 3pm weekdays are shipped on the same day. We also ship orders received before 11pm on Saturday on the same day. We use the Tracked 24 service for UK orders and Tracked AirMail for overseas orders. We hold stock of our popular sizes and designs in the USA which is used to fulfill local orders.
Returns
We are always happy to refund or exchange unwanted items in a resaleable condition. Just drop us a line or give us a call to organise. Our phone lines are open from 11am to 4pm (UK time) weekdays. In most cases, we are able to cover the cost of return postage.
Our products are machine washable at 40°C using a non-biological, wool safe washing powder. If your washing machine tends to tangle clothes during the wash cycle, we suggest putting your ScratchSleeves in a laundry bag or pillow case to minimise stretching. This is particularly important in North America where the washing machine drums are much larger than those in Europe. We advise against using biological detergents and eco-washing balls as these will degrade the silk mitts. More here.
To be effective, your child’s hands should sit within the silk mitts so it’s important to get the correct size. We advise purchasing on the basis of wingspan rather than their age. With your child’s arm stretched out to the side, measure from the centre of their back to the tips of their fingers. Double this measurement to calculate the wingspan then use the size chart to find your child’s size. Our sizing tends to run large so we suggest refraining from buying a larger size even if your child’s wingspan is close to the top of the size range. More here .
