These are made up of soft material, but you can wipe the service of any spills like you would plastic. It washes well in the nursing home laundry. The length covers my mom's lap completely and it actually falls to her knees (she's 5' 2"), which is exactly what we wanted. The velcro clasp is not excessively sticky or loud, but is secure and easy for my mom to put on herself. Great product and very well thought out!I've had a number of these for a few years and they hold up great. They are durable and easy to clean. However, the velcro is clearly an inferior quality and it loses it's attaching power fairly quickly. I think I'll probably replace that part of it.likeI realize it is a bib and it will get stained . The fabric choice is not good. It will work but it didn't go over well because it was unappealing. Otherwise it seems to be well put together and easily wiped or washed.Somehow I get wet using waterpik. This apron is great. Easy to close. Keeps me dry.The reason I bought this is for dish washing. I do not have a dishwasher and somehow whenever I do dishes I get my shirt soaked. So for years I have been using an adult feeding bib for protection and they work great.The last one I owned lasted years but it was awkward to put and wear on due to the design. It held up for a few Washington but then the vinyl backing began to crack. So I duct taped the back. Of course I could no longer wash it...and it got kinda really nasty. But it still worked so I kept it since these can be hard to come by locally.Finally I had to get rid of it and decided to check Amazon and decided upon this one. So glad I did! This is adorable and well made. It should last a long time. I love it.The only problem I noticed was that the Velcro tape was irritating to my neckline. But I discovered it was due to the square cut corners of the Velcro. So I took a scissors and rounded the corners ever so slightly. I no longer notice the problem. If I had, I would still have liked this product and would have found another workaround--maybe removing the Velcro and sewing on a button and hook closure. Thankfully I did not have to bother, I just trimmed the edges of the Velcro a little and that has worked fine.Don't hesitate to buy this product great value for the price.I was looking for an extra long bib and this fits the bill nicely. The bib is long enough that we can do things like drape its lower portion onto the top of the adjustable height table we use over the hospital-style bed, so the bib does an even better job of catching any dropped food or catching dribbles from brushing one's teeth in bed. If we expect a little bit of liquid dribbled, we can even flip the bib over and use it with its waterproof back side up, so the dribble can be easily wiped off instead of soaking into the front side fabric.I ordered this for my mother, who has some challenges physically. She immediately asked me to send two more -- one for my dad and one for her best friend. That best friend then asked me to send her one for her husband. And so on and so on.Here's my tip: many people who *need* this kind of product do not have access to the internet and/or they are severely visually challenged. The product isn't one that pops out at you at medical supply or drugstores. I'd highly recommend that the manufacturer undertake a more aggressive campaign, partnering with physicians, senior centers, home health care agencies, etc., to get out the word. It's a WONDERFUL product and has helped my mother and her friend be so much less self-conscious about going out after eating (they don't have as much physical strength nor can they tell what's spilled, so this is just much easier.Bonus tip: this product fastens with Velcro in the front, which is not typical but which is a HUGE help for those with small or large motor skill impairment. So glad I found this: only want to see it spread widely given its benefits.This adult bib made my life so much easier in caring for my mother's clothing. She was in a nursing facility and anyone who saw it asked me where I got it. It wiped down well and laundered perfectly. Great quality and pretty colors and patterns available. It was a life changer purchase!Protected my mother's clothing perfectly. Love that it was long enough to lie on her lap. EVERYONE would ask me where I got this. Great price and great quality to fill a sensitive need with dignity.This bib is like a suit of armour and is totally unyealding but it looks good!I bought these for my 93 year old father with dementia. Really helps keep food off his clothes which reduces my laundry bills. Nicely made, easy to wash and wipe down.The bibs were fine. I ordered the, for my father. When they arrived and were a floral motif, this was not going to work. The description only shows navy print. Picture too blurry to see flowers.Would be nice if more bibs available for men. Not much selection of bibs in masculine colours or prints
