While we collect most of our reviews on TrustPilot , some customers prefer to get in touch direct. Here’s a taste of what they tell us about their ScratchSleeves.

Thank you for the ScratchSleeves which arrived so quickly – they are brilliant! My six-month-old son Rufus has eczema which is controllable so long as we can stop him scratching. Scratch mitts for older babies are useless so we used to dress him day and night in sleepsuits with roll over sleeves but he soon worked out how to get a couple of fingers out. I wanted to dress him in nice tops and trousers but couldn’t because it was too easy to scratch. As you know babies can do a lot of damage in just a few seconds. I also got quite miserable about comments from other people about the scratches, as if I somehow wasn’t trying hard enough. Worst of all they came from other mums who should know better. So thank you so much for the ScratchSleeves; they are so easy to pop on when needed and we are both so much happier!

Just a quick note to thank you so much for the ScratchSleeves. Our little girl was having a really bad flare up, and it was into it's 6th week. We received the ScratchSleeves last Tuesday and honestly her hands, feet, neck, torso are 99% better. She protested a little the first night getting the little garment on but then she realised that she wasn't as restricted as she thought she was going to be.

Our little guy, 2.5 years old, has just been scratching himself raw lately. We just received and tried out our first pair of ScratchSleeves and they are amazing! His skin is able to heal itself overnight and it's getting better each day. He's still reacting to something yet to be determined, but at least he no longer has wounds.

I had read all the wonderful reviews on your site before ordering my first pair of ScratchSleeves....and a week later still can’t believe my eyes when I wake up and find the bed-sheets blood free. It is finally possible to see skin on my child’s legs and back and tummy.....I am so happy I can cry! And bless you for coming up with such a wonderful product that has made the life of so many little ones and their parents better .I can sleep better now, knowing that the rustling under the sheets in my daughter’s room is going to be futile attempts at scratching and not a blood bath. Wish the GP surgery suggested this instead of steroid creams which I have been using for the past 3 years!

I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing product! My daughter is 2 years 4 months old and has twiddled her hair for as long as she has had hair long enough! This gradually turned into hair knotting and pulling and earlier this year we made the difficult decision to cut her hair off as it looked so terrible. Over the next few months her hair grew back beautifully however with length again came the hair pulling and I felt at the end of my tether when we had to cut out a large knot. Then I came across ScratchSleeves and having tried what seemed like everything else - taggie blankets, dolls with hair, hats, soft toys, reward charts, chocolate buttons, telling her off, ignoring it - I didn't hesitate to order. After only 1 week the improvement is very noticeable and while I worried about tantrums over putting them on, we gave them to my daughter as a 'present' and she herself asks to have her 'gloves' put on! They don't stop her from doing anything she would normally do - even playing on my husband's iphone remains possible! They wash and tumble dry well however the second pair will prove invaluable for those occasions when there isn't time to wait for the first pair to be clean and dry. My only regret is that I didn't order these sooner! Thank you very much - I will be telling my health visitor about these so she can pass on to any other parents experiencing the same distressing problem.

We are so pleased we discovered ScratchSleeves! Our 2 yr old has gone from having a horribly infected cheek and almost living on antibiotics to now being pretty much back to normal again just a couple of weeks later. Even my sceptic husband is converted! We are so, so grateful - I've gone from feeling hopeless to hopeful - a HUGE thank you!

I just wanted to thank you so much for the quick delivery of your fantastic ScratchSleeves. My toddler had chicken pox, and it would have been virtually impossible to stop him scratching without them. He was really happy to wear them, and even started asking for his 'special coat' at bedtime! I've already recommended them to other friends, and will continue to do so. Thanks for a great invention!
