The spit bibs from the Windelbär brand impress with their child-friendly and loving design. Only high-quality materials were used for this product; the bibs are made of fleece and jersey from controlled organic cultivation. These natural materials are characterized by their absorbency and adapt perfectly to the baby’s delicate skin. During production and processing, attention is paid not only to the environment but also to fair treatment of fellow human beings ; the spit-up bibs have various quality seals, which will be discussed in more detail elsewhere. Another positive aspect is hygiene, as the spit bibs are washable at 60 degrees and can even be used in the dryer. Overall, this is a product of outstanding quality. It might be appropriate for the seller to think again about the origin of the organic cotton from distant India. Perhaps an even more climate-friendly solution could be found for the future.
