Use Within Wrapping
Wet wrapping is a therapy used in the treatment of atopic eczema, and involves the use of an emollient under retention bandaging. An emollient (such as Epaderm which is designed for use in wet wrapping) is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a damp layer of Tubifast Garment. Working together, the emollient and the damp layer keep the skin hydrated and moist, and help reduce inflammation2. The damp Tubifast Garment also acts as a retaining layer, ensuring that the emollient stays in contact with the skin. The damp layer also cools and soothes the skin and helps to reduce the itch2. A second, dry layer is then applied, which keeps the patient’s clothing dry and prevents further scratching from aggravating the skin and causing potential injury.
Dry wrapping is a similar process to wet wrapping. An emollient (such as Epaderm which is designed for use in dry wrapping) is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a single, dry layer of Tubifast Garment.

Our 8 month old has quite bad eczema which has her scratching a lot. It used to keep her up at night. Now we do dry wraps regularly using tubifast tights and top and her skin is much more moist and less itchy, she is also sleeping much better which helps the cycle. We haven't tried wet wraps yet but I am sure these would be good for them as well. We already ordered a back up pair because they are so effective for her. Well worth the expense given their ease of use and effectiveness.

Excellent! my little one has severe eczema, especially on her legs. when she's wearing these tights, she can't scratch them. they also help to lock in moisture. I highly recommend this product. although, they are very expensive.

These leggings are the only thing that will totally STOP my daughter from scratching until there's blood. It also immediately soothes her skin which in turn makes her a much happier bub!
Thank you!
I'll be stocking up for sure!!

I wish we had found these sooner as a way of stopping the vicious circle of scratching, itching, bleeding. These have helped immensely and will be buying more pairs so he can basically live in them until his legs clear up

Good quality product. I wish I discovered them earlier. It would be good if they came in a twin pk at a cheaper price. You have the best price in Australia.

These are fantastic, my son can't pull hes wet dressings out off them, it locks in moisture heaps more effectively then using crepe bandages on top off the wet dressings. and it minimises the scratching a lot, I wish I'd used them ages ago, saves so much more time!

We used these for a full week of wet wrap treatment for our baby girls eczema and the tubifast top and tights were excellent. Easy to get on and off, easy to wash and reuse quickly! Highly recommended.
