Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids - Eczema Clothing for Sensitive Skin

Most pyjama pants stop at the ankle. For children with eczema, that leaves feet, ankles, and lower legs completely exposed — and those are exactly the areas little hands reach for during sleep.
The Bamboo Bubby Footed Pants close that gap with fully enclosed feet built from the same soft bamboo blend as the rest of the garment.
Unlike socks, which can trap heat against the skin and worsen overnight itching, the bamboo blend actively thermoregulates — adjusting to your child's body temperature so feet stay covered and comfortable without overheating.
They also help hold any creams or emollients applied at bedtime in place through the night, so the skin care routine you work so hard to maintain actually has time to absorb and work.

My toddler scratches behind his knees and around his ankles all night. What helps?

Keep those spots covered. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids cover legs, ankles and feet in one piece, so there's no gap at the ankle for little fingers to find. Keep his nails short and stick to his skin routine. If the skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP.

My child kicks off her socks every night. What stays on?

Footed pants. The feet are sewn into the legs, so there is nothing to kick off and nothing lost in the bed. Her ankles and toes stay covered from bedtime to morning. It also saves the nightly hunt for a matching pair of socks.

His feet get hot and itchy in socks. Won't footed pants be just as bad?

The feet on the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids are the same breathable bamboo blend as the legs, not a thick sock on top. That means one thin layer, not two. Dress him for the room and check his chest or the back of his neck to see he isn't too warm.

My daughter rubs her feet together until they're raw. Will covering them help?

Covering her feet means soft bamboo rubs against bamboo, not bare skin against skin. Fabric between nails and skin helps reduce scratching damage. Keep up her usual skin routine, and talk to your GP if her feet crack, weep or don't settle.

What sizes do the kids footed pants come in?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids come in 1-2yr, 3-4yr, 5-6yr, 7-8yr, 9-10yr and 11-12yr. Each size is a generous two-year band, so one pair lasts longer as your child grows. If your child is between sizes or tall for their age, choose the bigger size.

What are the footed pants made of?

70% bamboo viscose, 25% organic cotton and 5% elastane, the same blend as the sleeves of the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves. The bamboo feels soft and breathes well. The elastane gives stretch at the knees and feet, so the pants move with your child.

What kind of waistband do they have?

The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids have a soft elasticised waist, with no drawstring, buttons or press studs. They pull straight on and off, which helps with toilet trips and quick changes. Teen and adult footed pants use a drawstring instead.

Can my child wear them during the day too?

Yes. Many families use them as loungewear at home, especially during a flare. They work as a full lower-body layer without separate socks. Out of the house, add shoes or slippers over the feet, as the soles aren't non-slip. Pair them with the Scratch Sleeve Top for Kids for a full outfit.

Can the footed pants go over creams?

Yes. Put creams on the legs and feet first, then pull the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids on. The bamboo layer helps keep cream on the skin instead of the sheets. Follow your GP or nurse's advice on which creams to use, and ask them before putting pants over wet wraps.

What's the easiest way to put them on a wriggly toddler?

Gather one leg down to the foot, slip his foot in, then do the other side. Pull the pants up to the waist in one go. The elasticised waist stretches to slide on easily, with no fiddly fastenings to deal with at bedtime.

What top goes with the footed pants?

The Bamboo Bubby Scratch Sleeve Top for Kids. It has fold-over mitten cuffs that close over the hands for sleep. Together they cover hands, arms, legs and feet, and they come as a pair in the Bamboo Bubby Kids Bamboo Pyjama Set.

Are the feet slippery for toddlers?

They can be. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids have plain bamboo feet with no non-slip soles. Like socks, they slide on timber and tiles. Take extra care with new walkers and on stairs. Add slippers or soft shoes for walking around, or keep the pants for bedtime.

Is the fabric soft enough for broken or sore skin?

The bamboo blend is soft and smooth, with no polyester, fleece or scratchy texture. Wash new pants once before the first wear. If your child's skin is cracked or weeping, ask your GP how to dress it at night, and follow their plan.

Are footed pants safe for sleep?

They are close-fitting pyjama pants with nothing loose in the bed and no socks to come off. Choose the right size so the feet don't bunch or pull tight. Dress your child for the room, and check they aren't too warm.

Are footed pants better than pyjama pants and socks for kids?

Regular pants leave a gap at the ankle, and socks come off. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids close that gap with feet built in, in one soft layer. That suits kids who scratch their ankles and feet at night, or who won't keep socks on.

Should I buy the footed pants or the Kids Pyjama Set?

Buy the pants alone if legs and feet are the problem, or if your child already has a top they like. Choose the Bamboo Bubby Kids Bamboo Pyjama Set if hands also need covering. It pairs these pants with the Scratch Sleeve Top for Kids in one size.

How do bamboo footed pants compare with cotton pyjama pants?

Bamboo viscose feels smoother and softer than most cotton, and it breathes well. Regular cotton pyjama pants stop at the ankle and often have rough cuffs. The Bamboo Bubby footed pants add organic cotton for strength and elastane for stretch, and cover the feet as well.

Which size footed pants should I buy for my child?

Choose by age: 1-2yr, 3-4yr, 5-6yr, 7-8yr, 9-10yr or 11-12yr. If your child is between sizes or tall, size up. Roomier feet won't pull on the toes, and a looser leg sits softly over sore skin. Kids sizes go by age, with no measurement chart.

How many pairs do we need?

Two pairs is easiest: one on and one in the wash. Bedtime creams mean they get washed often. Three pairs take your order over $99, so shipping within Australia is free. Under $99, it's a flat $12 in Australia and $15 to New Zealand.

How do I wash the kids footed pants?

Machine wash the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Kids warm on a gentle cycle. Line dry or tumble dry low, and cool iron if needed. No bleach and no fabric softener, as softener coats bamboo fibres and dulls their softness. A fragrance-free detergent suits eczema-prone skin best.
