What is a Catchkin?
Catchkin is a range of washable, waterproof napkin bibs designed for adults. It protects clothing at mealtimes and doubles as a large, absorbent napkin for discreet face and mouth wiping.
Is Catchkin suitable for adults?
Yes. Catchkin is specifically designed for adults. The shape, colours and finish are grown-up on purpose — so it feels dignified to wear and to hand to someone.
What is the difference between the Catchkin variants?
Catchkin Standard has half-width waterproof backing for everyday meals. Catchkin Full Protection uses full-width waterproof backing for extra cover during soups, drinks and messier meals. Catchkin Towelling swaps the polycotton front for plush towelling — softer against the skin and highly absorbent.
Is Catchkin waterproof?
Yes. Every Catchkin has a waterproof polyurethane (PU) backing that keeps liquid on the bib rather than reaching clothing underneath.
Is Catchkin machine washable?
Yes. Every Catchkin is machine washable and safe for hot washes, so it fits straight into your normal laundry cycle. It's also quick drying, ready for the next meal.
Who is Catchkin suitable for?
Catchkin is used by older adults, family carers, professional carers, care homes, nursing homes, occupational therapists and anyone who wants a dignified clothing protector at mealtimes — including people living with dementia, Parkinson's, or recovering after a stroke.
Can Catchkin help protect clothing during meals?
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed to do. The absorbent front catches drips and crumbs; the waterproof backing stops liquid soaking through to clothing.
Is there a larger size for extra coverage?
Yes. Catchkin Full Protection has a larger surface area and full-width waterproof backing for extra coverage.
Is there a neck extender available?
Yes. An optional Bib Strap Extender is available to give extra flexibility at the neck. Contact us for details.
