Frequently Asked Questions
How do Little Warriors' protective clothes help children with eczema?
We all know from experience that telling a child to "Stop Scratching" never works! Little Warriors' protective clothing is designed with padded mittens and footies that allow your child to safely soothe their itchy skin by rubbing, reducing skin damage caused by fingernail scratching.
How do these protective clothes help with sleep?
By now, most of you already know your child feels itchiest at night. Our soft bamboo fabric and padded inner cotton layer provide a gentle barrier, allowing your child to soothe their itch without causing painful open wounds. Parents frequently report that their children sleep for longer, more restful stretches when wearing Little Warriors' protective clothing, leading to better sleep for the whole family.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
For protective sleeves, the most accurate measurement is your child's arm span (fingertip to fingertip with arms outstretched). If your child is between sizes, always size down. Our sleeves are designed to be stretchy and will adapt with wear and wash. For protective pants, measure from your child's waist to their heel.
My child doesn't like their hands covered. How can I encourage them to wear the protective sleeves?
It's best to gradually introduce protective sleeves. We recommend starting by letting your child wear the sleeves with the mittens open. Once they fall asleep, you can gently close the mittens. Most children adjust to sleeping with their hands covered within a few days.
My child's protective sleeves slip off their shoulder. How can I keep them on?
For older, active children, we suggest wearing the protective sleeves under their clothes. For toddlers and younger children, a snug, short-sleeved romper with buttons is our family's choice for sleepwear. The romper's buttons help ensure both the protective sleeves and pants stay securely in place all night long.
Should I get protective sleeves or pants for my child?
This depends on whether your child scratches with their fingers or toes! Many parents start with the protective sleeves first. If you notice your child digging their toes into rashes on their ankles and feet, then the protective pants would be the right choice.
How do I care for Little Warriors' protective clothes?
Little Warriors protective clothing is crafted from the softest bamboo fabric to protect your child's delicate skin. To preserve the fabric's quality, always wash in cold water and air dry on a drying rack. We recommend using laundry bags when machine washing to prevent tangling with other garments.
