When we remodeled the girls’ room we opted for tile instead of carpet because it will be easier to keep clean and it’ll help cut down on the allergens. Well, I’ve been second guessing myself because the kids made a game of sliding across the floor and I’m afraid someone is going to get hurt. It started off as purely an accident, but after slipping around a few times they thought it was funny, and kept doing it on purpose. They also discovered that they could catch one another not paying attention and push each other across the floor, which isn’t nearly as fun for the one slipping and sliding against their will… usually Shelby. I bought her a pair of those socks with the gripper things on the bottom, but they’re too thick to wear in the summer and you have to change socks before you put shoes on, and no one wants to mess with that.

So then MomSelect included me in their Virtual Swag Suite and sent me a box of goodies left over from BlogHer, and in it was these things called GRiPPiES that ended up being the perfect solution to our problem…

The GRiPPiES we got are clear bear shapes, and you just peel them off and stick them to the bottom of any socks and voila, instant gripper socks, that aren’t bulky or ugly like the usual ones. And they’re machine washable and dryer safe, so you don’t have to reapply every time!

The kids aren’t thrilled that they can’t run and slide across the floor, but I’m loving it and now I can’t find a downfall to not putting carpet in the girls’ room!

With GRiPPiES, you’ll never have to sacrifice a cute pair of socks or tights for your kid just because they don’t have grippers on the sole. You’ll never get stuck in your child’s gym class with the “wrong” kind of socks for running, jumping and climbing. With GRiPPiES, every sock becomes the right sock! Maybe you need a non-slip surface for your socks or stockings… GRiPPiES is for grownups too!

Everyday slips and falls account for more than one million injuries each year in the United States. 80% occur at home. GRiPPiES rubbery adhesives applied to the bottoms of socks, slippers or tights can help prevent slips and spills on tile and hardwood floors. They are machine washable and dryer safe!
