What Types of Boo-Boos Are BooBoo Coolers™ Good For?

Not every boo-boo needs a traditional bandage. BooBoo Cooler™ is specially designed for boo-boos without blood—the kinds that hurt, sting, or swell, but don’t need a sterile covering. Unlike regular bandages, which are meant for cuts, scrapes, and wounds where blood is visible, BooBoo Cooler™ is for the everyday bumps and bruises that kids often get.

When Not to Use BooBoo Cooler™

If there’s any bleeding, open skin, or visible scrape, BooBoo Cooler™ is not the right solution. In those cases, you need a sterile, protective bandage.

Perfect Uses for BooBoo Cooler™

BooBoo Cooler™ shines when kids need both comfort and cooling relief. Some common situations where it works best include:

Bruises & bumps – Helps soothe “black and blue” marks and tender spots.

Mosquito bites & insect bites – Provides cooling relief to ease the itch.

Bed bug bites & minor skin irritations – Calms the sting and reduces discomfort.

Burns (minor, not open wounds) – Immediate cooling helps ease the pain.

Bee stings – Comforts and cools the affected area.

Growing pains or sore muscles – Gentle cooling brings quick relief.

Head bumps – A safe way to comfort little ones after a tumble.

Fever cooling – Can be placed gently on the forehead to help a child feel better.

Imaginary boo-boos – When kids really just want the comfort of a bandage, BooBoo Cooler™ provides the same reassurance with added cooling relief.

More Than Just Comfort

Kids naturally want a bandage when they get hurt—even if there’s no cut. BooBoo Cooler™ gives them that same emotional comfort, but with the added benefit of cooling that helps the pain fade faster.

Creative Uses You Might Not Expect

While BooBoo Cooler™ is designed for boo-boos without blood, families and even medical professionals are finding new ways to use it. For example, a pediatrician shared that he uses BooBoo Cooler™ as a pre-cooling method before vaccinations. Since the skin is always wiped down with an alcohol pad anyway, sterility isn’t required, and the cooling effect helps make the shot hurt just a little less.
