Plus-Size Adult Bibs: Practical, Comfortable and Dignified Protection

Finding a suitable bib for an adult or older child can be difficult. Standard bibs are often too small, provide limited coverage or look unsuitable for an adult wearer.

At Keeks, our Mum2Mum PLUS range has been designed for youths and adults who need additional protection from drooling, food and drink spills. The range combines absorbent materials, waterproof protection and adjustable fastenings with a choice of practical, comfortable designs.

Who can benefit from an adult bib?

Adult bibs and feeding aprons may help people with:

• Disabilities or additional needs
• Reduced control when eating or drinking
• Excessive drooling
• Limited mobility or coordination
• Conditions that make swallowing or mealtimes more difficult
• A need for support from family members or carers

A good adult bib can help keep clothing clean and dry, reduce the number of clothing changes needed and make everyday care a little easier.

Why choose Mum2Mum PLUS?

Mum2Mum PLUS bibs feature a three-layer design that helps absorb moisture while protecting the wearer’s clothing.

Features across the range include:

• Soft, extra-absorbent cotton velour towelling
• An additional waterproof layer
• Water-resistant nylon backing
• Adjustable popper fastenings
• Stain-resistant material
• Machine washing at 40°C
• Suitability for tumble drying
• A choice of colours and designs

The adjustable fastenings allow the neckline to be changed for a more comfortable fit. The soft towelling also helps the products feel less restrictive than some traditional plastic adult bibs.

Adult Bandana Bib

The Mum2Mum PLUS Adult Bandana is a discreet option for adults who experience drooling or require everyday clothing protection.

Its bandana shape looks more like an accessory than a traditional bib, helping the wearer feel comfortable when at home or out in public.

The Adult Bandana includes:

• Extra-absorbent cotton towelling
• Waterproof protection
• Two adjustable poppers
• A width of approximately 52 cm
• A length of approximately 25 cm
• A smallest neckline of approximately 37 cm

It is generally suitable from approximately 16 years of age, although we recommend checking the dimensions rather than relying on age alone.

Standard Feeding Apron

The Standard Feeding Apron provides additional coverage during meals while remaining compact and comfortable.

It measures approximately 43 cm in total length and 31 cm wide, with three adjustable poppers. This makes it a practical choice when protection is mainly needed across the upper chest.

Supersized Feeding Apron

For greater coverage, the Supersized Feeding Apron extends over the chest and towards the lap.

It measures approximately:

• 82 cm in total length
• 62 cm from the chin
• 36 cm wide at the top
• 44 cm wide at the bottom

The larger design is particularly useful during mealtimes or for wheelchair users who need more protection across their clothing and lap.

Which adult bib should you choose?

The best choice depends on how and when the bib will be used:

• Choose the Adult Bandana for drooling and more discreet everyday protection.
• Choose the Standard Feeding Apron for regular mealtimes and upper-body coverage.
• Choose the Supersized Feeding Apron when maximum coverage across the chest and lap is required.

Always check the product measurements before ordering, particularly the neckline and overall length. Every wearer has different needs, so consider their seated position, mobility and level of assistance as well as their general clothing size.

Easy to wash and reuse

Adult bibs may need to be washed frequently. Mum2Mum PLUS bibs are machine washable at 40°C and dryer safe, making them practical for everyday use at home, in respite care, at school or in a residential setting.

Having several bibs available can also make it easier to manage regular washing and changes throughout the day.
