A new product, SAFESKIN Kids Sport Wrap , may help take the sting out of sports-related injuries by making the healing process a lot more colorful.
SAFESKIN Kids Sport Wrap from Kimberly-Clark Professional is the first colored sport wrap created specifically for children and teens. It comes in four bright colors – blue, red, green and yellow – and is ideal for securing bandages and splints and cushioning or supporting wounds. With an estimated 38 million children and teens participating in youth sports activities each year, accidents are bound to happen. And when they do, kids have had to wear old-fashioned white or tan-colored wraps to cushion wounds or support strains, sprains or splints. Not anymore.
“More than 3.5 million kids under age 14 receive medical treatment for sports-related injuries each year, with strains and sprains being among the most common complaints,” said Jamie Britton, marketing leader for the Kimberly-Clark Home Professional Business. “When this happens, we think kids should have superior support to get back in the game, as well as the opportunity for self-expression. They shouldn’t have to wear the same dull sports wraps as adults.”
- In addition to these benefits, SAFESKIN Kids Sport Wrap is: Self-adhesive and reusable – with no clips or pins needed to secure the wrap into place.
- Soft, cushiony and comfortable against the skin.
- Water-resistant.
- Latex-free.

Disclosure: I received a package of SAFESKIN for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.
I’ll have to get one of these for my house. My kids are always getting hurt.
This looks like a brilliant product to keep on hand as I’m a future teacher. Thanks for the info.
