If you're new to our product, it's possible you're wondering... "what are Sniffle Buddies" OR "why on earth would someone use one"?
Perhaps this will help...
"What are Sniffle Buddies" - They're high quality wristbands made with bamboo velour (70% organic bamboo / 28% organic cotton / 2% poly) that
were created to assist allergy-prone toddlers during playtime. How much fun is it to be two and have Mom or Dad constantly hovering with a tissue when you want to "just play"? Drug them, keep them inside, hover endlessly, or give them Sniffle Buddies and just let them play..then toss 'em in the wash and practice tissue use after playtime! We offer diapers to assist while they learn proper potty habits, should we expect that they will stop playing, use tissue, dispose of it, wash their hands, and then return to playing while they're still quite young?
"Why on earth would someone use one?" - Well, if you have a child that is not sensitive to environmental allergens, then this product is likely quite confusing. BUT, if your little one is reactive to the beautiful blooming plants and trees in the spring and debris-filled air in the fall...I'm guessing you "get it". Children play, run, breathe hard, sneeze, sniffle, itch, tickle, and aren't very free to "have fun" if we make the rule that they have to tend every drip or itch with a tissue and then wash. Does it teach a bad habit? .....Hmmmm.... Perhaps, but for curiosity's sake, look around at many adults in line somewhere, driving, or talking directly to you....they get a tickle, sniffle, or itch on their nose and up comes the bare hand to tend it. We do it so much, we're not even aware of it, but it's not healthy as it sends germs from our hands more directly into our systems and then all around us as we touch things. See the UC Berkeley hand to face touching study.
Sniffle Buddies didn't create the habit, we're just identifying it and offering children and some highly allergy-prone adults an alternative to carrying an overused, germy tissue around in their pockets or up their sleeves or using their bare hands. Sniffle Buddies are NEVER for blowing into...just for tending the tickle or sniffle. They're also being used to tend DROOL in special needs folks. And for adults... ask your skier friends where they're wiping?

"What a great Eco friendly alternative to disposable tissues. Definitely in line with the Waste Less Living way of reducing waste going to the landfill. It's also another great opportunity to educate your kids on the downside of using disposable products..... Every time they wipe they truly are helping to clean up our environment! Cheers to you Sniffle Buddies for coming up with a great use for bamboo...a renewable and abundant natural resource! www.wastelessliving.com "

"I highly recommend the Sniffle Buddies. There was an article in our local paper about how useful they would be for cold season. It got me thinking that I could use it for my son who has autism and happens to drool. We've tried many things in the past from bandanas around his neck, wrist bands, bandanas wrapped strategically around his wrist, carrying a cloth and wiping his drool ourselves, etc. The Sniffle Buddies are incredible ... they are soft, sturdy, don't bother his wrist, allow him to wipe his drool independently and they wash easily. My initial order was for 3 to try it out and since then I've ordered several more in different sizes and colours. The service has been incredible too. Thanks so much for all you do ... I REALLY appreciate it and love them. A true fan, Brenda Desjardins "
