TESTIMONIAL - RV-er road tripper

Robyn M.

I just love my dripette travel napkin! My partner Jim and I are RVers or “Grey Nomads” and I’ve found that the dripette really suits our lifestyle. 

We travel for at least three months each year. Because storage space is limited and doing laundry can be a hassle and real time waster, keeping our clothes stain-free using the travel napkin when we are on the road is a magnificent help.

The dripette makes travel safer and more relaxing because when you are eating or enjoying a coffee on the go, you’re not distracted if food falls between your legs driving or you drip coffee on yourself. The travel napkin catches it all so you can roll it up and throw it in the wash and re-use it again.

I’m definitely getting a dripit for Jim and another dripette for myself that I can use at home. I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this before!

I’m a Travel Nurse from Tennessee. I use my dripette on the road and when I’m sitting in front of the TV at home eating my dinner.

I love that it’s a washable, sustainable product.

This is a fantastic unique gift for women, coffee lovers, or in-car diners generally. Great for the elderly too.

Awesome product.

TESTIMONIAL - BUSY WORKING MOTHER

Heidi S

My car is basically a snack zone on wheels. Between coffees, school runs, and the afternoon and weekend rush to dance or swimming lessons, my little one is always snacking, sipping, or dropping something. Mess used to be a daily outfit hazard for both of us, until we found our dripettes!

The dripette is made to keep mums protected from spills, and kids covered without the fuss. Getting a child to wear anything that shields their clothes can be tricky but thanks to the comfy fabric and cute designs, my daughter actually loves it.

No more wardrobe battles, just clean clothes and stress-free rides. Now we pull up to school, dance, or swimming lessons not looking like we’ve just survived a tornado on wheels.

TESTIMONIAL - IT'S A GUY THING TOO

Palma P.

To be honest, when my “better half” suggested I use a dripit to eat dinner in front of the TV I wasn’t convinced it was the manliest thing a guy could do - but I have to say, it’s great! No more crumbs or gravy on me or the lounge. Hot plates on my lap are no longer a problem, and it’s much better than using a tray that allows plates to slip and slide.

I'm on the road a lot for work, which means I am predominantly getting takeaway to and from sites.

I haven’t looked back using my dripette. I'm even thinking about one for my 7-year-old!

Man wearing adult bib travel napkin eating food

TESTIMONIAL - retired elderly senior

John E.

At 92 years of age and living on my own, I normally eat meals while sitting on the lounge chair watching TV. In so doing I run the risk of dropping food on my shirt or sweater.

Food stains on my shirt are embarrassing if I go out with friends. I don't want to wear an adult bib that ties up around the neck and so I use a dripit clothing protector to catch the drips.

This is a nice alternative to using an adult bib. It also provides insulation if I have a hot plate on my lap.

Paper napkins are too flimsy and don’t provide enough protection.
