Original Cream
Our most cost effective scratching solution
100% natural silk mitts protect delicate skin
- Our funky cardigan design ensures that ScratchSleeves stay firmly in place while still being quick and easy to put on.
- 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.
We advise ordering based on your child's wingspan measurement, please use our size chart to help you select the correct size.
Smaller sizes (up to 9 months) have no shoulders and a cut-away neck line to keep little ones as cool as possible and so ScratchSleeves are easy for parents to use. We have added shoulders to the larger sizes to ensure they fit more comfortably and stay firmly in place on more active children.
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.
"I would like to say a big thank you for coming up with the idea for these fantastic scratch mittens. We have had a very stressful four months since my son was diagnosed with severe eczema at the age of 10 weeks. I started using ScratchSleeves yesterday and what a fantastic day he had. It’s the first time we have been able to let him play without having to sit right beside him in case he pulled his socks off his hands which he does about every two seconds!" - Nicola
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 .
