Burpers Beware: Burp Armor(TM) to Battle Dribble, Slobber and Messy Late-night Feedings

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by countless diaper changings, feedings and burpings, co-founders and parents of two Mike and Kristin Barclay created a truly unique burp cloth that is just as stylish as it is functional. Burp Armor, now available at burparmor.com, is an ergonomically designed burp cloth, designed to comfort babies and protect parents' shoulders and clothing.

Burp Armor features a kidney bean shape and innovative flap that completely covers the shoulder and upper arm. Substantially more absorbent than the average burp cloth, Burp Armor is made with two layers of hemp/organic cotton fleece plus a layer of hemp/organic cotton corduroy for stay-put traction. Burp Armor burp cloths are pre-washed in fragrance- and perfume-free soap -- perfect for a baby's sensitive skin.

"The idea came to me one very late night after an especially 'soggy' feeding with my newborn son," recalls Burp Armor Co-founder Mike Barclay. "I knew I wasn't the only parent who could use a more comfortable, durable and practical burp cloth. The very next morning I started sketching our ideas ... and the rest, you might say, is 'burp history.'"

Burp Armor is also sustainable in two important ways. First, earth- friendly Burp Armor is crafted in the United States and made with organic fabrics, recyclable packaging and soy-based inks. Burp Armor uses certified organic cotton that is free from pesticides, herbicides, and other nasty cytotoxins that may be harmful to babies. Stronger than cotton and mildew- resistant, sustainable hemp grows without pesticides and naturally fertilizes the soil for future crops. Second, Burp Armor will live on long after the last feeding. Softer wash after wash, Burp Armor is designed to become a child's "lovey," "wubbie" or "cuddly" -- depending on what he or she names it!

Burp Armor is available starting at $25.00 in eight dribble-resistant colors: Creamsicle Stitch, Creamsicle Stripe, Chocolate Stitch, Honeydew Stitch, Honeydew Stripe, Snowcone Stitch, Candy Stripe and Candy Stitch.

A portion of all proceeds from Burp Armor is donated to Children's Hospital Boston, one of the nation's top hospitals specializing in pediatric care (childrenshospital.org).
