The Calpol Plug-in: A Parenting Must Have!

If your little one is struggling with a cold, especially at bed time, you NEED a Calpol Vapour Plug!

Bed time can be a particularly troublesome time when your children are full of a cold or virus, so as parents we're often left at a loss - they've had the full dose of child paracetamol and ibuprofen, a kiss and lots of cuddles, plus everything else that could possibly comfort them offered and they're still unsettled. So, now what? Well, this is where the Calpol Plug-in product could be an absolute game-changer.

What is the Calpol Vapour Plug?

The Calpol Vapour Plug-in contains a blend of aromatic oils including lavender, chamomile, menthol, camphor and eucalyptus, which will help to soothe and comfort your poorly child and also help their breathing if they're feeling a bit congested. The Calpol Plug-in also doubles as a handy nightlight that activates at night when the lights go out, and is so simple to use - simply plug it in, and replace the refill pads every 8 hours.

How to use the Calpol Vapour Plug...

As we said before, the Calpol Vapour Plug-in is incredibly easy to use! All you need to do is allow 60-90 minutes for vapour to fill the room and soothe your child. Depending on the bedroom size and ventilation, the strength of the vapour will vary, so the closer your child is to the plug, the more effective it will be. The Calpol Plug-in is safe to use from three months of age.

What does the Calpol Vapour Plug do & what are the benefits?

The oils within the Calpol Plug-in help to soothe and comfort poorly children at night time whilst helping to ease their breathing. Non-medicated aromatic vapours provide soothing night time comfort for your child.

Our verdict...

As mummies ourselves, there has been many a night where we've been tearing our hair out, trying to find a way to soothe our inconsolable poorly children, who are too unsettled to sleep and who feel too poorly to get comfortable. The Calpol Vapour Plug-in makes such a difference, giving our children a massively improved sleep quality, and of course this improves our own wellbeing because happy children mean happy parents! As a relatively inexpensive product that you wouldn't need to use very often (hopefully), it's a great investment. Polls show that 9 out of 10 parents recommend Calpol, and we can see why!
