Can Crazy Arms support children recovering from arm burns?
At Crazy Arms, our original mission was simple: let kids have fun in the sun without the worry of sunburn. However, over the years, we’ve heard from many resilient families using our sleeves in a way we never fully expected.
For children recovering from arm or upper body burns, Crazy Arms have become a simple, gentle solution to protect healing skin. While we aren't medical experts and didn't design these as therapeutic medical devices, we are incredibly moved by the stories parents have shared. It seems that for many, our sleeves can provide some comfort and protection needed during the long healing process.
Parents tell us that Crazy Arms can help in a number areas, and you can scroll down to see feedback from across the globe.
How Crazy Arms can help burnt skin recovery
- Comfort & Fit: Parents of toddlers as young as two have found them to be a "perfect fit" for covering severe scars
- Style & Confidence: Whether it's Unicorns, Dolphins, or classic whites or blues, the designs help kids feel "fashionable" rather than self-conscious. Pre-school styles
- Daily Life: Families report the sleeves stay in place during sleep and are "much cooler" than wearing long-sleeved shirts or rash vests in the heat.
Verbatim from Parents
Great and protective
"My daughter recently received significant burns to her upper body, she needs to wear the sleeves for two years- these have been perfect and she loves them. Thank you”
Anna - Western Australia
These work as burn compression garments too
"I am very happy with the sleeves that I purchased for my daughter. They stay put even when she is sleeping (we purchased them as a burn compression garment). She swims in them, plays sports in them. They definitely offer sun protection because she wears them 23 hours a day and she has tan lines where they end. I will be buying more in the future as she grows.”
Jaime - California
Love crazy arms!
"My son has a burn in his arm he needs to protect over the next year and he absolutely loved the protective sleeve as it was way better than having a top underneath his t-shirt. It allows his arm to breathe better whilst getting the protection he needs. Not to mention he feels like he’s super fashionable! And with the benefit of not being pricey! Great invention!!”
Esmeralda - Victoria
Brilliant
"These have been fantastic for my 3 year old. He suffered a burn injury 2 years ago. We have been on strict no sun rules since to prevent permanent discolouration to their scars. He wears them constantly. So much cooler than a long sleeve T-shirt or rash vest.”
Sophie - New Zealand
Great product
"I was looking for a way to protect my child’s arm following a skin graft and these have been the perfect solution! Lightweight and stretchy. Would be awesome if they could come in some more discreet colours for kids who don’t want extra attention 🤞🏻”
Lydia - Auckland
Perfect solution
"2 year old has severe burn scars on the arm. These fit and cover perfectly. They are comfortable and the kids want to wear them all day long. Highly recommend.”
Aaron - Ontario
Amazing service and product
"We have a variety of sleeves for my 3 year old daughter who needs to keep a burn mark covered. She loves her sleeves and they do a fantastic job of protecting her skin. I was also really impressed with the service we received.”
