The Bite:
Block the shot of drool and food headed for your kiddo's clothes and tack on an eco-bib. Our picks in recycled and organic materials are better for everyone on the team - toddlers, cotton farmers, and the planet. Swish.
The Benefits: 
  • Point guarding against foul chems. Conventional cotton - the most chemically dependent crop on the planet - sucks up 10% of the world's pesticides; organic cotton's grown without 'em.
  • Keeping plastic away from the basket. We use 500 billion plastic bags each year worldwide; a few of our options are made from recycled plastic bags diverted from the landfill.
  • Slam dunk design. Our picks are either wipe-off-able or washable.
Personally Speaking: 
In Virginia Beach, VA, 1-year-old Molly Mahaney is helping to save the planet one upcycled Alliecraft bib at a time.
Wanna Try: 
Organic cotton
  • Mimi the Sardine Bib - organic cotton bib with a waterproof, safe acrylic coating, mess-catching pocket, and Velcro closure; vibrant, fun prints like ladybugs, frogs, flowers, and cars ($15).
  • New Native Flannel Bib - organic cotton flannel bibs with tie closure; two layers of cotton for absorbancy; undyed ($9).
  • Totally Organic Bib - organic white terry cloth bib with tie closure and blue, pink, or yellow piping; come in sets of three ($9/3).

Recycled fabric
  • Alliecraft Bib - retro-ish bib made with a mix of vintage and upcycled materials (like recycled shirts and skirts) in prints from Batman to butterflies and with snap or Velcro closure; fleece backing ($8).
  • The Pretty Bean Bib - reversible, waterproof bibs with Velcro closure created by fusing reused plastic shopping bags; come in sets of two ($5-$8/2).
Cash Saver: 
Enter Ideal Bite in the Message to Seller window when you buy two bibs at Alliecraft.etsy.com, and get a third one free.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Mama Biters choose a bib made from organic cotton instead of regular cotton, we'll keep the weight of six basketball players in pesticides out of the environment.
