A practical starter eczema pack buying guide to help you match the right bundle to your child's age, height and scratching habits.

Quick answer

Buy the starter eczema pack that matches your child's current height first, then their age band. The pack for 1.5-2.5 years (80-90cm) suits toddlers who need a one-piece with mittens, while the 9-10 year (130-140cm) and 11-12 year (140-150cm) packs add opening-hand options for daytime use. If your child is between sizes or outside these bands, choose the closest height range and check the individual pieces before buying.

Why height matters more than age on an eczema pack

Eczema clothing needs to sit close to the skin without digging in, so the height range on each pack is the most reliable starting point. The 1.5-2.5 year pack covers 80-90cm, the 9-10 year pack covers 130-140cm, and the 11-12 year pack covers 140-150cm. If your child is at the top of one band and the bottom of the next, size up only if you are comfortable with slightly looser cuffs, because a loose mitten can slip off during the night.

What is inside each starter pack

Each bundle is built around the scratching habits of that age group rather than being a random assortment. The toddler pack centres on the Eczema Scratch Mitten PJ, a onesie-style piece with mittens, or separates using the Scratch Mitten Body with Ankle Protect PJ bottoms. The 9-10 year pack pairs an opening-hand scratch mitten T for daytime with Ankle Protect PJ bottoms for night. The 11-12 year pack includes a two-pack of the Scratch Mitten T plus an Open Hand Scratch Mitten T, so your child can choose between full coverage and free hands.

Opening hand vs closed mitten: a daily decision

The opening-hand design lets your child eat, read or use a device without removing the garment, which matters more as they get older. Closed mittens give more protection against night-time scratching but limit hand use. If your child is in school or needs to write during flare-ups, an opening-hand piece is usually the more practical first choice, with a closed mitten kept for sleep.

How the packs fit into a wider eczema wardrobe

A starter pack covers the highest-scratch areas, but you will still need everyday basics like underwear. Boys Boxers in 100% organic cotton are GOTS certified, have no latex or elastane, and use side-seam-free construction, which reduces friction under trousers. They also have a woven internal label that can be unpicked if it irritates. Washing the pack with non-bio detergent at up to 40 degrees and a cool tumble dry keeps the cotton soft and the fit predictable.

Decision rules for choosing a starter pack

Match height band first: Use the stated height range (80-90cm, 130-140cm, 140-150cm) before considering age. If your child is between bands, choose the band that covers their current height and check cuff tightness. Height decides the pack; age confirms the style.
Choose opening hand if daytime scratching is the problem: Opening-hand pieces let your child use their hands for school, meals or devices while still covering sore skin. Closed mittens are better reserved for sleep. Daytime freedom vs night-time coverage.
Check the bundle against your existing routine: If you already have separate PJ bottoms, a pack with more tops may be redundant. If you are starting from scratch, a pack with both day and night pieces saves buying separates. Buy the gap, not the duplicate.
