Buggies Clothing Repels Insects and Sun Rays

By Sara Clement

When Samantha Asay created Pukies — her comfortable, stain-resistant line of Soy Genius baby clothing with 30+SPF, a new era of sensibility in children’s fashion was born. Asay is at it again with her innovative spring/ summer 2010 collection called “Buggies.” The new Buggies collection, with Insect Shield, pairs the brilliance of the Soy Genius fabric with Insect Shield, creating the first and only infant and toddler apparel with built-in Insect Shield Protection.

The odorless insect protection provided by Insect Shield is derived from Permethrin, a man-made version of a natural insect repellent found in certain chrysanthemum plants, such as the African daisy. Permethrin has been safely and successfully used in the U.S since 1977 and unlike traditional bug repellants, has no risk of overuse, does not have to be re-applied, can be worn by women who are pregnant or nursing, can be worn from infancy throughout childhood, is not harmful to the eyes, and has no risk of being swallowed!

Permethrin has the additional assurance for parents of being recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), The U.S. Department for Disease Control and Prevention, The American Academy of Family Physicians, and The Public health Agency of Canada. The Permethrin is bonded to the fabrics of the entire Buggies collection, which consists of bodysuits, long and short sleeve T-shirts, leg protectors, hats, pants, shorts and skorts for boys and girls from 0-24 months all the way up to 4T. The Buggies collection provides effective and comfortable insect protection for up to 70 launderings, repelling the mosquitoes, chiggers, flies, ants, ticks, midges and no-see-ums that may carry Lyme disease, West Nile virus, malaria and other insect born diseases throughout the life of the garment.

Protecting children from the bugs and sun rays just became as simple and safe as getting dressed in the morning! Many parents will go buggy for this innovative new clothing that makes comfort and protection as easy as 1-2-3.
