Burp Armor

2008-02-04-burp armor.jpg
Have you ever felt like your burp cloth just wasn't cutting it? Well, one dad did, and he decided to take action. He created a burp cloth that would do two things- absorb, and stay put. If that wasn't enough- it's also environmentally friendly. Much more than just a burp cloth- it's burp armor...

 
 

Burp Armor is ergonomic and made from three layers- two layers of fleece and one layer of corduroy for traction. Mike and Kristin- the creators of Burp Armor, are also committed to the environment so the armor is 55% hemp, and 45% organic cotton with recycled packaging and soy-based ink. They're prewashed in organic soap.

You can also feel good about your purchase because 5% of every purchase will go to the Children's Hospital of Boston.

We might have to add Burp Armor to our shower gift list.

$25 for a burp cloth is a little outrageous.

Appreciate the comment regarding the price. We have chosen to use only organic materials and produce a burp cloth in the United States. In addtion, the cloth is 3 layers of fabric (2 layers of absorbtion and 1 for traction) so it is one of the highest quality cloths on the market. All of these factors go into the price.

I understand the pricing, I make cloth diapers and sell them (I've gotten a few, "that's really high for a diaper"s) but really? 25? We just use old bath towels that we cut up. Can't get much greener than that (no new material and saving old material from ending up in a landfill). We've never had a problem with slipping, I don't know why that's such a problem for people.

Okay, now they aren't nearly as adorable as yours. And some people with too much money to spend on funny little things will probably gobble them up but if I spent $25 on a burp rag it better run around and clean the spitup itself (as our son never hit the target and ended up spitting up all down our back or on our shoes or anywhere but the burp rag).
