Comfortable Bamboo Gloves for Children Eczema
Many children suffer from eczema, and suffering itching and discomfort at their hands. These soft children’s gloves, which are made from skin-friendly and bamboo, will prevent the child from scratching directly on eczema/wounds, keeping the cream that is used in the treated area to last longer.
These gloves are stretchable, soft and comfortable, so that children should experience as few inconveniences as possible while using the gloves at play and other activities, or during the night.
These bamboo eczema gloves are recommended by the Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association.
Why use bamboo gloves instead of cotton gloves for hand eczema?
While cotton gloves have been the common solution for hand eczema due to its breathability, it may not continue to stay comfortable, especially after washing. However, bamboo gloves will continue to provide a smooth and silky feeling even after numerous washes.
In Singapore, there are many cotton-based gloves which can be found in some pharmacy for dermatitis care, but most of them are not as comfortable. For sensitive skin and scratched eczema skin, the gloves may further cause irritation if it is not silky comfortable and cooling. Bamboo gloves are a good alternative to help eczema sufferers who have hand dermatitis or contact allergy.
Antibacterial / Antifungal
Bamboo fabric is composed of strong anti-microbial properties. It is believed to consist of 3 times more anti-bacterial qualities than cotton. Bamboo clothing’s natural anti-bacterial function differs greatly from that of man-made chemical anti-microbial fabrics, which often tend to cause skin problems.
Ideal for sensitive skin
Bamboo apparel is hypoallergenic. Bamboo fiber is smooth and round and its natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin. Bamboo fiber is unbelievably soft and suitable even for babies.
Feels like silk
Wearing bamboo material has been described as a soft, luscious and sensual experience, like the feel of cashmere or silk. It has a very distinctive lustrous sheen. Bamboo is smooth and soft on the skin. The inherent quality of bamboo fiber (on a microscopic level bamboo fiber has a round surface) makes it a delightful tactile experience unlike other fibers.
Stays cool even after prolonged wearing
In hot temperatures, bamboo cools the body by three degrees. This is a very good property to ensure the skin does not get heated further by the heat that is trapped below the fabric.
Biodegradable
Just like cotton, bamboo gloves are made from plant-based material, and can be disposed of in an organic and environmentally friendly manner.
How to use bamboo gloves
For sleeping at night, you can apply moisturisers on your hands as usual, then wear the gloves over it.
For daytime, it can be worn if needed to prevent scratching or to protect hand eczema.
Suitable for both wet wrap or dry wrap.

It’s almost impossible to find small kid’s size gloves for wet/dry wrap. And it helps to break the itch-scratch cycle or damaging the skin when the child scratches the rash.

Bought this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The texture is very soft and the gloves have so far been helpful in reducing flare ups, particularly when used with creams/oils.
