green sprouts Stay-dry Baby Bibs

These bibs are the best I've tried so far (out of about 6 different brands). I have purchased at least 3 sets of 10, in both the boy and girl colors.Pros:-beautiful, color-fast colors-big variety of colors in one 10-pack. I can always find a bib to match whatever outfit he is wearing.-absent of cutesy distracting baby designs and obnoxious patterns. My 16-month old has been wearing bibs all day every day for a year, and I very quickly got tired of seeing bibs with "MONKEY BOY" or "POWER DROOLER" all over them. They are a part of his wardrobe, and I want them to be as inconspicuous as possible.-soft-absorbent-truly water resistant: there is a waterproof layer sandwiched between the two layers of terry cloth-strong velcro-both the fabric AND the velcro stay perfectly flat after repeated washings, rather than buckling or curling from the dryer like many others I have gone through-the strong velcro STAYS strong after repeated washings, not getting weaker or with repeated use or exposure to the dryer (also like many others I have gone through)-perfect size...not too big, not too small-really decent price for a pack of 10 in my opinionConsiderations:-You must make sure that the velcro is closed (scratchy velcro half fastened to the soft half of the velcro) when you wash them with other delicate fabrics, like a satin-feel baby blanket, or the very strong velcro will catch those delicate materials. To me, this is a common-sense laundering issue, not a product flaw, hence my rating of 5 stars. You also have to make sure the velcro is fastened well (that the two pieces match up, no overlapping, etc.) when you put it on your baby. Since the velcro is very strong (and scratchy when opened), it can irritate sensitive baby skin. Again, a common sense issue, since all you have to do is make sure the two velcro halves match up when you fasten the bib, then no scratchy parts are exposed to skin. Again, common sense and in my opinion not a product flaw.

Confession: my 5-month-old daughter is a drooler. We knew she probably would be before she was born because my husband was a drooler (when he was a baby). As such, I'd purchased lots and lots of bibs before my baby was born.It's not that I don't love my baby and all her messiness, but I'm just not a body fluids person. Also, I hate wet clothes, I hate chunks of food sticking to clothes, and I hate having to change outfits all the time because food and drool get all over them. I hate these things for myself and for my baby.Now, once my baby was born, I learned a lot about bibs that I didn't know when I was scooping up every bib I could get my hands on before she was born...First, I learned that size matters. Large bibs get cumbersome. Bibs that wrap all around the baby (like those fabulous Aden and Anais bib/burb cloth devices), are just too much when I need to put a bib on my baby when she's in the carseat, for example. Bibs that are too small tend to not provide enough coverage when my daughter turns her head and spits up or when she pulls her cute little fists to her face and knocks the bib aside. These bibs are the perfect size. Perfect.Secondly, I learned that the clasp can make the difference between tears and laughter--mine and my daughters. Some bibs have Velcro closures that are just so, so awful...the edge of the Velcro pulls up away from the fabric and scratches my daughter on the neck. Other bibs have cheap Velcro that is not name brand and that does not actually hold the bib closed. Still, other bibs are made with snaps, which always stay shut and never scratch a sensitive area--but they have be tremendously difficult to get closed--particularly if you're trying to do it with one hand, as I often am while holding my daughter. These bibs have just the right Velcro (not sure if it's name brand--and don't care). It provides full coverage without being scratchy--and I can secure the closure with just one hand.Finally, for the purposes of keeping this review short, material. I have plastic bibs, rubber bibs, terrycloth bibs, and every other material you can image. I'm serious--I went bib crazy. I've found that some bibs--like the muslin bibs from Aden and Anais--are just fabulous at absorbing spit and wiping a cute little face clean. However, they do nothing for spit-up chunks and food dribble--it just pools and puddles and gets caked in. Plastic bibs are great for feeding time when you can take it over to the sink and clean it immediately after--or as soon as your baby is done rubbing her hands all in the dribbled food that's all over the bib. These bibs are great for catching spit-up, chunky stuff, and food--as long as you clean them in a washer right after. Plus, they are soft so if you find a clean corner when your baby is done eating or drooling or whatever, you can wipe her face clean!All in all, the only thing I would change about these bibs is that I would make them odor resistant. Like with my daughters little outfits, if I don't change these bibs soon after she's spit up, they (the bib and the baby) very quickly smell like spoiled milk and I find that odor repugnant. As soon as you remove the bib, the baby goes back to smelling sweet and delicious. So--it's a good thing there are so many of these in a pack. Plus--you can find one to match any outfit--yours and your baby's!

Easy to put on (even with one hand), spit up doesn’t penetrate through to the other side, and they have stood up to repeated washings. Also the colors are really nice! What more can I say, these are great bibs and the only ones I’ll ever use.

My favorite bibs! My second time purchasing these with my 3rd baby. I passed down my first set after two kids and they were still in great condition. No matter how wet they get, the back side is always dry, keeping baby clothes dry. I like to give them a quick rinse if they're really dirty before throwing in the laundry basket so it doesn't stain. I prefer to air dry them but sometimes I forget them in the dryer and they're still good. I close the velcro & them in a mesh laundry bag before throwing in the laundry machine so the velcro doesn't catch or ruin other laundry. Highly recommend

I was looking for absorbent bibs for my 4 month old daughter who had been drooling quite a bit. These bibs definitely do the trick. They're made of a soft terry material and absorbed quickly. The bibs are large enough to cover my baby's chest and shoulders. There's a really good variety of colors in the package, which makes it easy to pair with her outfits. One thing that I wasn't a fan of is that the neck openings are pretty small even though the tags say 3-12 months. The Velcro on the bibs is also a bit rough so to avoid scratching her neck or the back of her head, I always make sure that the Velcro is completely covered. Even though the bibs fit her perfectly now, I feel like they might not in a couple of months. They're great bibs and serve their purpose. I'm happy with my purchase overall.

Finally a bib with a legit waterproof barrier!! My baby is 66% drool and these bibs are the only ones that can keep up with absorption without soaking through to his clothes.
