Coronavirus Update

COVID-19 has caused a lot of questions about NIPIT’s effectiveness at keeping children’s hands away from their face to help prevent Coronavirus. The short answer is, Yes, the NIPIT Hand Stopper will help.

Note, the NIPIT Hand Stopper does not completely prevent the hands or fingers from touching the face, but it does make it very difficult.

NIPIT will certainly increase your child’s awareness about the frequency of hand-to-face contact. NIPIT is not a substitute for handwashing and limiting exposure.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says to “Keep your hands out of your mouth, nose, and eyes. This will help keep germs out of your body.”
