Flip-mitt Bodysuits
Practical, all day protection with opening mitts.
Perfect for clothing escapologists
- Soft and smooth silk minimises scratching damage, while our longer sleeves ensure that hands can be fully extended.
- Our signature silk mitts can be flipped down to cover hands or left open so that little one's hands are free.
- When the mitts are open, our unique shoulder tabs enable the sleeves to be hitched up and out of the way, allowing your child to play without their cuffs getting in the way. These tabs use a novel fabric from GoodCatch which works like traditional Velcro but which is soft and flexible.
- The poppers on the neckline make it easy to put on the bodysuit without dragging the fabric over sore faces. Once poppered up they are super secure for itchy little escapologists.
- Ideal for active and itchy little ones who are perfecting their ability to remove their clothes without help.
- 100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin from even the most vigorous scratching, while the loose fitting 100% cotton jersey fabric ensures that little ones stay cool and comfortable and sensitive skin is not irritated.
- Effective scratch mitt bodysuits 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 little one's wingspan measurement, please use our size chart to help you select the correct size.
"I love scratch sleeves. My daughter has eczema and I have been sewing clothes for her with foldable mittens. I'm so happy to have found clothes that not only have foldable mittens but also have the tab so I can roll them up! I will order more." - Christine
Delivery

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 .
