Sports Shield Kid’s Sports Theme’d Bandages
How many of you have children that play some type of athletic sport? I know that many of you do! When our daughter was growing up she was very active in gymnastics and cheerleading. I now have 3 nephews who are very active in soccer and baseball. Sports…they are a big part of our family’s life!
Well guess what? Bumps and boo-boos are a basic part of growing up, but your child’s healing bandage can be anything but basic thanks to Sports Shield and it’s newest kid-themed adhesive bandage strips!
These fun “new” bandage strips were created by the Jolly Group, who entered the first aid/wound care industry back in 1995. These bandages protect your little one’s cuts, scrapes and minor wounds, plus they are latex free! Your child can now sport around bandages for their favorite type of sport (baseball, soccer, football, basketball, hockey, cheerleading, girl’s soccer and fun fashion). Way too cute!
Sports Shield bandages are appealing to kids of all ages and are made from flexible light-weight, latex-free material. They offer top-quality protection & flexibility for even the most active kids! They offer a full, non-stick pad which offers more wound-coverage and the bandage is soft and flexible.
The Sports Shield bandages come in two different sizes for adults and kids alike. Starting on July 24th, 2012, the company will offer 2 new designs: the “rescue” theme’d bandage featuring fire trucks and ambulances and the “lady bug” which is adorned with butterflies and lady bugs.
Purchasing Info: The suggested retail price for a 25 count package is $2.50 each and $4.00 for the super size variety pack with 16 theme’d designs. You can get additional information and you can purchase the products directly from the company.
Our Review: We were sent a box of the Sports Shield Soccer Bandages to review for all of you. The box that they come in is very cute and decorated with photos of soccer players and soccer balls. There are 25 bandages inside the box and each one measures 3/4″ by 3″ in size. The bandages are guaranteed to be sterile until you open them and each one is individually wrapped and sealed.
Once you take the bandage out of it’s wrapper you will see a solid white colored bandage with a black & white soccer ball print on it. I think they are adorable and I found them to be very easy to open and easy to apply to Little G’s scrape that she got a few days ago.
As she went out about her business all day long I was pleasantly surprised to see that after 8 hours, the bandage was still on! This is a very active 3 year old toddler and it stayed on all day long and even as she splashed around in her kiddie pool, the bandage stayed put! That is impressive!
In addition, when I changed it later that night, it didn’t tug and pull at her delicate skin. I didn’t hear any “ouchies” when I changed the bandage and I really appreciated that! In the past she has hated to have her bandages changed so this is a huge plus in my book!
