Healthy accessory

Cold season is upon us, so parents need to remind kids to sneeze into their elbow — not into their hand where the germs can easily be spread. It seems difficult for kids to remember this healthy suggestion, but if they were wearing a colorful reminder, like My Sneezee, it could jog their memory. My Sneezee is similar in design to a leg warmer, but the brightly colored band is pulled up on the arm like a knitted sleeve. When the child coughs or sneezes, they can direct their germ-riddled spray into the machine-washable Sneezee. They are soft, absorbent, and are offered in 19 designs, including sports (pictured).
