Siliskin Glass Baby Bottle Cover Reviewed by ZRecs

We’ve been in the hunt for a protective sleeve of some kind that would work for any standard baby bottle. We decided to ask our favorite Mommy and Daddy team at ZRecs if they had come across any possibilities. It turns out, they recently learned of a company called Silikids who just introduced their Siliskin glass bottle covers! ZRecs even did their own helpful review of the bottle covers. Here are the highlights:

We were thrilled to hear about the new line of silicone sheaths for glass bottles recently released by Silikids, the company behind a line of silicone bibs and another of knee pads for crawlers.

Silikids’ “Siliskins” use standard four- and ten-ounce Evenflo bottles and silicone sheaths. The “skins” come in a variety of colors, slip on and off bottles easily, and can be washed separate from or wrapped on bottles. More importantly, their prices - $10 for a four-ounce bottle and $12 for a ten-ounce - are ones we can stand behind. We spoke with Stacey Feeley, one of the principals of the company, and she made it clear that this was the company’s intended selling price, and not just an introductory one to generate early buzz.

The Siliskin does have a lot to recommend it - it provides a nice gripping surface for bottle feeders, probably does provide some cosmetic protection against scratches or chips, and certainly could make that extra bit of difference if you drop a bottle from a moving car or it’s thrown across the room. For some parents, this peace of mind may be enough to nudge them into glass-bottle territory, and such bottles are sustainably produced, reusable over generations, and very safe.

Finally an affordable way to insulate and protect glass baby bottles without toxic plastic! Thanks to ZRecs for another insightful product review. What we do without you?

    This is a genius idea! I can't believe no one thought of this before. I'm very excited to try the siliskin covers!

    Do you know of any bottle covers that fit the born free bottles? And if so are they BPA free?
  • Elaine
    I have seen some cool bottle covers on ebay that fit all bottles and sippy cups. They even had the little taggies for babies to play with. Here is the link -

    I was looking a the Siliskins and totally love them too, but do the covers come off?
  • Thanks for the link Elaine :)

    Yes, the Siliskin covers can be removed. The company has told us that they'll be selling them separately soon.
