I still remember when I was little, I would easily get mosquito bites here and there on my body, especially when I was spending time outdoors with my parents.
Sometimes, I don’t even notice their existence and my hand would suddenly feel itchy. The worst part is, some of the bites can turn bad, where they would swell bigger than normal to the extent that they left scars on my skin.
Now that I am a mother, I wouldn’t want my children to experience the same thing. Not to mention, some mosquito bites can get infected or even worse: lead to illnesses such as dengue.
Being the protective mother that I am, I carefully research the best ways and remedies to protect my children against mosquitoes.
Thanks to a couple of mothers that I followed on social media, I was hooked by their recommendations, which are mosquito repellent products from the classic favourite ointment brand: Tiger Balm.
Wait, what?! Since when Tiger Balm has mosquito repellent products?
And not only one product, but they have three products that are suitable for the entire family!
Oh, this is interesting!
Just by looking at these mothers sharing positive reviews on Tiger Balm, I knew that I had to get my hands on these products!
But, Why Tiger Balm?
I did more research and found out that Tiger Balm now has a special variant that can protect your children from mosquitoes, which is Tiger Balm Mosquito Range.
As I mentioned earlier, the classic Tiger Balm ointment has been known to be everyone’s favourite for generations.
My mother used it since I was a child and now I have it on-hand with me as well.
And now that we have this mosquito repellent range by our side, it really does complete my ‘emergency kit’ for my children.
Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent range comes in 3 variants – Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Patch, Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Aerosol, and Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Spray.
Let me tell you more about each product:
Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Patch
My new favourite item from Tiger Balm!
This patch keeps your little ones safe from mosquito bites no matter where you are – be it indoors or outdoors.
The unique formulation wards off mosquito and insect bites effectively.
The patch is made from natural mosquito repellent formulation with 10 individually-sealed patches in a box; making it travel-friendly.
I’ll make sure to put a patch each on my children when there are a lot of mosquitoes in the area, and especially when we’re outside at night.
You can simply paste it on your little one’s clothes and even on their beds or cribs.
Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Aerosol
This one is perfect for the outdoors! The plant-based ingredients in this aerosol are safe and effectively repel mosquitoes.
It comes in a 120 ml spray bottle that gives out a fine mist with each spray and provides an even coating.
I like how it’s non-greasy and can be used just about anywhere – on the skin, clothes, or even on my baby’s stroller.
The long hours of effective protection from mosquitoes leave me at ease.
Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Spray
This non-sticky texture spray uses a unique blend of the Tiger Balm formula and citronella oil to protect ourselves from mosquito bites. It comes in a 60 ml spray bottle that’s handy and can easily fit into our bags!
DEET-free!
And the best part about these products is – all 3 variants are DEET-free! DEET is an active ingredient that could irritate the skin, especially of our children.
Thus, it’s always a good idea to choose all-natural products to help ensure you feel more at ease when you use them on your children.
More Reasons Why You Should Use It
Everyone knows how risky mosquito bites are, especially if you got one from Aedes mosquitoes.
This type of mosquito can be anywhere at any time, but they’re more active during daylight – a few hours after sunrise and several hours before sunset.
Aedes can cause dengue; an illness that causes high fever, severe headache, and muscle and joint pain. It’s the most widespread mosquito-borne viral disease in the world.
If you’re going for a jog in the morning or strolling around the park with your children during the daylight, I’d suggest for you to put on one or two Tiger Balm Mosquito Patches onto your skin.
Don’t forget to layer it with Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Aerosol for extra protection!
Now that I’ve shared my ‘little secret’ with you, I bet that you can’t resist yourself from getting these products for your little ones.
