A bib (to illustrate children's bibs , children's bibs , Schlabberlatz, Sabberlatz; Swabian Trieler, Swiss German also Musueli, in Austria also Barterl ) is a bib that is tied around toddlers during meals to prevent their clothes from becoming soiled .

Bibs can be made of fabric, plastic, or other materials. Since they are also used to cleanse the face after meals, bibs made from absorbent cotton terry are popular in Germany . In place of the previously common fabric straps for tying, Velcro fasteners , press studs or magnetic fasteners have now mostly taken place . Instead of a fastener, slip-on bibs have a stretchy neckline. Other special shapes are sleeve bibs, bibs with a drip tray and long bibs that connect the bib and table top.

In many rich countries, such as the United States , disposable plastic bibs are also common today. Outside of Europe, traditional forms with ribbon ties dominate textile bibs.

In infants, one will usually take a bib burp cloth used.

In some cultures - for example in the USA - it is occasionally common for "difficult" foods such as B. lobster or barbecue pork ribs adults can use a bib. However, the use of a napkin is universally common among adults .
