Great for business professionals! (5.0)

I'm a 30 year old male business professional and I eat lunch at my desk often, and I like extra ketchup and lots of condiments. I can't tell you how many times I've ruined a shirt because of spills and messes when I ate. Enter the waterproof protector, it works great! It's heat resistant, thick plastic, big (I'm 5.10" and when I stand up it reaches to the bottom of my pants pockets) and it folds up well to put away when you're not eating. The only complaint I might have it is that the first few times you wear it, your coworkers will crack jokes at your expense, but eventually they get used to it and then you can eat in peace. I've had it for a few months now, and I've taken it home twice to wash in the washing machine, and it came out great afterwards. If you're on the fence about getting this because you have some shreds of dignity left, then all I can say is "Man Up! Buy this bib and save some shirts!" Oh yeah, and be prepared to have some people call you gramps the first time you wear it.

I'm not (that) old - just sloppy (5.0)

One day I slopped food down the front of a new blouse and that was the straw that broke the camels back. OK, bibs are for me. People use them when they eat lobster, not just old people. I ordered 3 and LOVE them. They're large, well constructed, with a velcro neck grip. The backing is water resistant so there is no leak through. They hang down to my lap to catch crumbs. I sent out an email to my kids saying "Mommy bought bibs" warning them that mommy is on the downward side of the hill. Much to my surprise, my daughter wants me to get some for her too. This is a good product for folks who are not ashamed to admit they spill and want to save on dry cleaning bills.....bg

Great product (5.0)

I bought these bibs for my mother who has alzheimer's. They are waterproof, and cover the chest and lap. They wash well, and look nice. I'm very happy with this product.

Does What It Says (4.0)

This is a well-made product and washes well, as is necessary for a product of this type. A bit pricey though. Four stars instead of five because of price only.

Review of Waterproof Mealtime Protector (5.0)

I purchased 3 of these for my mother who is an assisted living facility. Not only is this item functional, it is also good looking and easy to launder. The other residents are all asking where they can get some just like my mother's. I strongly recommend.

given as a gift (4.0)

I purchased this as a gift for my boss because she will invariably spill food on herself when she eats. I gave her the gift as a staff dinner, much to the amusement of everyone there. She was both surprised and pleased by the gift once she unwrapped it. It does fold very nicely and can fit comfortably in a side zipper pocket in a purse. It's attractive and as advertised the neck width is spacious.

What Should the Elite Wear to Eat? A Gold Lamé Bib! (5.0)

This is an excellent design constructed of high quality material.

In the never-ending avoidance of spaghetti sauce splatter, juicy hamburger splash, and barbeque sauce spray, the gold lamé bib comes to the rescue!

A problem with other bibs is bulk. Other bibs are beach towels and take more space than a change of clothes. The gold lamé bib folds to the size of a kerchief.

A problem with other bibs is bib size. Other bibs have small neck openings that curl and climb up your neck (and stimulates itching), large breadth that curls onto itself and reduces protection, and poor length that either exposes your abdomen or touches the ground. Terry cloth bibs have hook and loop fasteners that do not extend beyond the terry cloth and make it hard close. Other bibs have a tiny bit of hook and loop fastener which limits the variability of the neck opening. (it chokes, or, it chokes.) The gold lamé bib has a good amount of hook and loop fastening material and a gathered neck which expands to fit comfortably around your neck and lays well.

A problem with other bibs is human factors. Other bibs have poor neck openings. They choke or they fit so poorly that it distracts the diner. Other bibs have overly large sizes that are uncomfortable and distracting in a bad way. The gold lamé bib has a gathered semi-elastic opening with hook and loop material. The gold lamé bib spreads easily and rests gracefully upon your torso. The gold lamé bib is so light that you forget it's there.

This is the best bib product for dining* that I have ever seen. I use it almost daily. (* non-convalescent dining)

Perfect! (5.0)

I've always been kind of a slob anyway, and when I had brain surgery 10 years ago that led to partial paralysis of my mouth, I was not someone you wanted to be around at meal time. I don't own a shirt or pair of pants that is not stained. I tried using a toddler's bib, but it wasn't long enough and I ended up spattering food all over myself anyway. This bib (I guess the politically correct term is "clothing protector") is nice and long, covering me down to my knees (and I'm 6'1"). I got the blue terry bib, which is more macho. It washes very well, and you might want to wash it right away because mine had a particularly pungent "vinyl" smell (the smell disappeared after one washing and drying, though). It covers my shoulders as well, and I like the waterproof backing. A great purchase, and I'm going to buy a few more.

Priva Waterproof Mealtime Protector, Floral (1.0)

This item sucked. Very cheap looking and neck is VERY small. The add was VERY misleading!!!! It said 3 for $11.99. They charged me $11.99 each. I see that the add had changed now.I will never buy anything from Amazon again!!!!

Priva Waterproof Mealtime Protector, Floral

Works great! (1.0)

I bought two of these for my wife. The flower design is pretty and goes with almost any outfit. The velcro makes them easy to put on and take off, and they function just as expected: the outer cloth layer absorbs liquids and the inner waterproof layer protects clothes. They are long enough to protect her lap, too, if spills run down. Product more than meets expectations, looks attractive, easy to use, and inexpensive.

Mealtime Protector (4.0)

The mealtime protector is great for my 88 years old mom. It is colorful, practical, and inexpensive. It is also easy for her to put on. The only change I would make is adding a pocket at the bottom so limited amounts of food fall on the floor.

Ideal for its purpose (5.0)

I bought one of these for my elderly Mom, to prevent spills and stains on her clothing while eating. It has worked perfectly. Its easy to attach with the velco strips around the neck and doesnt slip. It is full length, attractive and comfortable and most of all works perfectly. No spills or stains will go through, not even spilled coffee or juice. The design does hide stains very well and it washes up easily. I am happy with it and the price is very good. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to protect their clothing while eating. I am glad I bought it.

fun gift (5.0)

I purchased several of these and the gold lame bibs for myself and for gifts for several friends, as we were always lamenting that we "wore" everything we ate. We have had very positive and fun feedback when we've worn our fancy bibs in public. They are very "glamorous". Also, I noticed that when I washed mine for the first time, the drying time was extremely quick. The service from the vendor was extremely fast--my only complaint is that they charged a shipping fee for each bib, and they are so lightweight that all of the bibs combined probably wouldn't cost the price of one shipment.

Great when you're messy (5.0)

This bibs are great looking and feel very comfortable. I purchased it for my father and he loved them so i had to buy a few more of these.

Great but a little narrow (4.0)

These are great bibs but are very narrow but long - if the person is very messy and a larger person it may not provide enough coverage. Easy to wash and dry and use over and over.

Present for hubby (4.0)

I bought these for my husband as a christmas present. He had wanted an adult style bib for some time as he is a messy eater and gets stains on his shirts. After bugging me for years I got him these. He liked them, although I think for his needs they could have been a little shorter.

very helpful (5.0)

these are very helpful for me...
in assisting with keeping my dad's
clothes clean... instead of trying
to tie it in the back, i just tuck
it all in under the neck of his
shirt.... keeps the dribbles from
creeping down his neck..... and making
a mess of everything....

cheap bibs (1.0)

Every time I went to tie a bib on.........one of the straps would tear off and I would have to staple it together. They are super thin and a piece of junk.
