It’s a gentler, less stressful alternative to wet wrapping and is often used for mild to moderate eczema or daily skin maintenance.

Wet wrapping is a dermatologist-recommended technique to soothe eczema-prone skin, reduce itching, and help with moisture absorption.

Our eczema suits are perfect for wet-wrapping, however this should only be carried out under medical supervision.

✅ For stubborn stains: Pre-soak in salt water or dampen the area, and gently rub a paste of baking soda on affected areas before washing

✅ For stubborn residue from eczema creams and ointments: A second rinse cycle can help remove any stubborn residue from the fabric.
