I was SOOO excited when these drybibs came in the mail. My twins have a really nasty habit of getting food all over their clothes, and I remember the days when they would drool so much that I needed to put towels all over the floor to catch it (well actually, that was my sister and her little boy, but my kids drooled a lot too). :-) In either case, I really wanted to have something that the kids could wear around their necks that would stay in place (unlike a regular bib) and soak up all of the drool/food (unlike a regular bib). Thank goodness Me & Mommy contacted me to do a review of these drybibs, because they are really an answer to many prayers.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was just how incredibly soft they are. They are made of 100% cotton on the front and 100% polyester fleece on the back. And let me tell you, the drybibs are so soft that I would wear them if they came in my size. The other great part about the fleece is that it helps keep my kids clothes from getting wet (due to the immense amount of food that inevitably ends up on their fronts).

The drybibs are one size, so you can use it on a very young teething baby (to catch drool) as well as an older baby/toddler (to catch food). They also come in many different patterns. We got to try out the blue & white stripe and the red & white stripe, but some of my other favorites are the mushrooms and the flowers. With so many options, it's very difficult to choose favorites.

In a nutshell

Pros:

• Very soft
• Durable
  
• Lays flat on chest/doesn't bunch
• The top covers the neck completely
  
• Soaks up moisture/doesn't drip
• Snaps are secure/babies can't pull it off easily
• Awesome choices for colors!
  

Cons:

• Very small for use as a bib (but would probably be ok for a younger, teething baby)

Cost: $11.29 + shipping ($$$$ out of $$$$$)

Final Score: 8.5/10

Now let me tell you a little about Me & Mommy. The shop is based in Sweden, but don't worry because the shipping charge is less expensive than you might see in a US based store. And your order also won't take too long to arrive. For example, my drybibs were mailed on a Wednesday, and I received them the following Monday. Not bad for traveling overseas! Me & Mommy products are made by the owner, and she even sews custom items. She sews unique clothes and accessories for kids in sizes from newborn to 8 years old, even for preemies. If needed, she'll also sew for other sizes. In addition to the drybibs, she also has beanies, dresses, key chains, cell phone charms, pants and skirts for sale. Go take a look and see what strikes your fancy!

In addition, one really lucky reader of mine is going to win a drybib of his/her choice!
