I designed a kerchief style bib that is fashionable as well as functional.
The creation of the Hipper Bib was designed for my son Ian.
Ian is 2 years old and is diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome which causes Ian to drool. After searching for special needs bibs, drool bibs, and fashionable bibs, I decided to come up with a unique bib that had all of these features. I wanted a bib that would compliment his clothing and in turn would not draw attention to the fact that he was wearing a bib therefore, maintaining his since of dignity.
The Hipper Bib features:
A unique triangle shape, which when secured around the wearer's neck, creates a multitude of pockets and folds which captures and retains drool.
Each bib is constructed of three layers. The two outer layers are made with a variety of 100% cotton, cotton blends, and soft snuggle flannel patterns and solids. The third, which is sandwiched between the two, is the stay-dry layer which keeps the saliva, liquids, and food from soaking through to their underlying clothes and skin. The bib is adorned along the edges with cotton trim.
The bib is attached to the wearer by criss crossing the ties around the back of the neck and securing with snaps. The snaps hold up wash after wash.
The bib is reversible creating two bibs in one.
The bib may be laid out flat for quick drying. Machine wash on cold and tumble dry.
*** Bibs come in 4 sizes
