My name is
Stephanie Dellamura, a stay-at-home mom and mother of two. I developed Gotta Go Mitts
out of a need for my two boys.
I dreaded the
whole public restroom experience, especially porta potties during
fairs, etc. Whenever we
ventured into a restaurant or store, it was assured one of them
would have “to go”. I
began using sandwich bags to cover their hands. Without allowing flexibility
for the thumb, the bags did not allow them to grab the toilet seat
easily for balance or
stay on their hands.
When away from
home, I also needed something to cover their hands while they ate
those sticky lollipops given to them by bank tellers, hairstylists,
etc. Their hands would
inevitably become wet and sticky without a wipe to be found in the
car or my purse.
After doing
extensive research and not finding products on the market that were
adequate, I decided to develop the Gotta Go Mitts. Two out of three moms
surveyed during my product development research stated they felt the
same way and would use the mitts for their children. The small discreet packaging
fit easily in their purse and pockets unlike the larger packages of
the disposable toilet covers.
I would like
to thank my family and friends for their support and assistance
including all my little hand models in the development of the Gotta
Go Mitts. My two boys
use them all the time!
