Disposable dribble bib

Abstract

A disposable dribble bib for babies comprises a shaped panel of non-woven cotton material. The bib has an outer face and an inner face each of which has a hairy surface formed by cotton fibres which when the bib is placed on a garment will attach and hold the bib on the garment. The bib is simple and cheap to manufacture and is double sided, that is it can be used either way round with either the outer face or inner face engaging the garment. A neck-receiving recess is provided at an upper end of the bib.

1 . A disposable dribble bib for mounting directly beneath a baby's chin on clothing covering the baby's chest, the bib including: 
 a panel of liquid absorbing material,    means for releasable self-attachment of the panel to clothing worn by the baby to retain the bib in position on the baby in use,    the bib panel being formed from a substantially homogenous non-woven cotton material,    said bib panel having an inner face and an outer face which are similar, whereby the bib panel is double sided so that either of the two faces of the bib panel can face the clothing of the baby,    each of said inner face and said outer face having a surface which is sufficiently hairy to form the means for releasable self-attachment of the panel to the clothing worn by the baby.
