Learn how the Eczema Scratch Mitten PJ stops nighttime scratching with organic cotton, flat seams, and removable mittens. Step-by-step guide to use and care.
Quick answer
The Eczema Scratch Mitten PJ prevents scratching by covering hands with built-in mittens while keeping skin comfortable with organic cotton and flat seams.
Why the mittens stay on all night
Unlike separate scratch mittens that can slip off, the Eczema Scratch Mitten PJ attaches mittens directly to the cuffs. This design keeps them in place even during active sleep. The mittens are removable, so you can wash them separately or convert the pajama into a regular top.
Fabric choices that reduce irritation
The pajama uses 100% organic cotton with no latex or elastane. Flat internal seams and no itchy labels prevent common irritation points. Note that the natural colourway uses polyester thread for the rainbow stitching; other colourways use cotton-covered polyester thread. Choose a colourway that matches your child’s sensitivity.
How to use the Eczema Scratch Mitten PJ
- Choose the right size and colourway: Select the correct child's age option (5-12 yrs) and colourway. If your child is sensitive to polyester thread, avoid the natural colourway with rainbow stitching and choose a colourway with cotton-covered polyester thread. Check the thread material in the colourway description before ordering.
- Put on the pajama before sleep: Dress your child in the pajama as usual. Ensure the flat seams are not twisted and the fabric lies flat against the skin. The mittens are attached to the cuffs; pull them over the hands gently. Avoid pulling the mittens too tightly to prevent circulation issues.
- Secure the mittens for overnight wear: The mittens are built into the cuffs, so they stay on naturally. If your child tends to remove them, check that the pajama is not too loose. The design prevents slipping better than separate mittens. No extra fastening needed, but ensure the pajama fits snugly.
- Remove and wash the mittens separately: After each use, unbutton or unzip the mittens (if removable) and wash them with mild detergent. Air dry to maintain the organic cotton softness and prevent shrinkage. Wash mittens separately to avoid losing them.
