And the ones they get when play outside are the ones that do the damage.
Mogo Bear has insect repellent built into its fabric. Rub it, sit it where your child plays or sleeps, and it keeps biting insects at a distance from the bed.
Nothing is applied to skin. No spray, no lotion, no DEET. It comes with its own zip bag backpack.
Rub the bear’s fabric briskly between your hands for a few seconds.
Sit it wherever your child sleeps or plays. It works from where it sits.
Rub again when the scent fades.
Wash and reactivate.
Nothing is applied to skin, so nothing has to go on a child who is already asleep
No DEET Works from the pillow, the pushchair or the top of a bag
Reactivates with a rub, so nothing needs reapplying at two in the morning
Tolerance to insect bites is something the body builds up over years of being bitten. Children have not had those years yet, which is why the same mosquito leaves an adult with a small mark and a three year old with a hot, swollen lump that itches for days.

The reaction peaks between two and ten
Then it fades as tolerance builds. Which is exactly the age when nobody wants to be sprayed and nobody sits still to be treated.

One bite can look like ten
Scratching a new bite can inflame old ones that had already settled, which is why the count on a leg never adds up.

Nights are the worst of it
There is nothing else to think about once the lights go out. A bear that is already in the bed is the easiest place to put the protection.
Backed By Science
How it works.
The repellent is held inside the fabric rather than applied to skin. Rubbing releases a natural vapour that keeps biting insects at a distance from wherever the bear is sitting.

Bites are a recognised eczema trigger in children
The American Academy of Pediatrics lists insect bites and stings among the things that can set off a flare, alongside heat, sweat and rough fabrics. The mechanism is the one every parent already recognises. The bite itches, the itching gets scratched, and the scratching breaks the skin barrier that was holding everything together.
Triggers differ from child to child, and one thing rarely explains every flare. But it is one of the few on the list you can do something practical about.
MOGO
Stops the bite
Repellent held in fabric rather than applied to skin, so there is nothing to sting and nothing to reapply.
HAPPYSKIN CLOTHING

Our patented DreamSkin coating manages moisture like a cream while letting skin breathe, so skin is not left sitting under a barrier.
Made for the skin underneath
Scratching is what turns a small irritation into broken skin, a bad night and a week of repair. Our garments are built to sit against skin that has already been through that.
