Description
The Blue Terry Bib is a reusable terry cloth clothing protector that fastens behind the neck with a hook and loop closure, sized and weighted for adult mealtime use. It is sized for dining programs in care facilities and for daily home mealtimes alike.
- Absorbent Terry Cloth – Terry pile drinks in spills and dribbles – clothing underneath stays clean and dry
- Hook and Loop Closure – The neck closes with hook and loop – fast to put on, easy to adjust, nothing to tie
- Reusable and Washable – The bib launders with the regular wash – one protector serves hundreds of meals
- Adult Coverage – Sized for adult mealtimes – full chest coverage that presents as a clothing protector, not a baby bib
Mealtime Protection That Launders Instead of Landfilling
Adult bibs protect clothing and dignity at the same time, and the details decide whether residents will wear them. This protector is terry cloth, which absorbs dribbles instead of letting them run off the way plastic-backed disposables do, and it closes with hook and loop at the neck so staff can fit it in seconds without tying strings behind a seated resident.
Because the bib is washable, it is a one-time purchase that keeps cycling through laundry rather than a standing order for disposables. Facilities stocking a dining room can order the quantity their rotation needs, three meals a day plus laundry turnaround.

Why Terry Bibs Outlast Disposable Protectors
A dining program runs on laundry math: bibs in use, bibs in the wash, and bibs ready. Terry bibs survive that cycle, absorb better than disposable plastic, and present as clothing protectors rather than medical supplies at the table.
- Absorbs, Not Sheds – Terry pile holds spills where they land – laps and shirts stay dry through the meal
- Seconds to Fit – Hook and loop at the neck – staff fit the bib without reaching, tying, or disturbing the resident
- Rotation Ready – Washable terry survives the laundry cycle – the protector is ready again at the next meal
