Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!

The many benefits of cold weather are skiing, snowboarding and blue horizons pierced by pine trees that challenge the sky for height.  Alas, if you’re a mom or dad who doesn’t happen to live in Colorado, then cold weather means runny noses, sick children and a yearning to be a parent in one of those mountain states.

A child with a runny nose is a disgusting thing.  Your child with a runny nose is an angel that needs to have their nose wiped before they re-enact the movie Up with mucus bubbles. However, wiping your toddler’s nose with tissue is a trying task.  They squirm, wiggle, flail their arms, cry, lie on the floor and then look like they’ve been bum rushed by a pack of snails.  Why a pack of snails would mug a toddler I have no idea; but that’s only slightly less absurd then trying to wipe their nose with tissue or toilet paper.

My wife and I were chatting about this toilet tissue issue with a friend when they told us about Boogie Wipes.  Mojo Rule #8:  If a product has a name that reminds him of Disco, it will immediately be liked.  “Boogie Nights!” I excitedly said. My friend then explained to me that Boogie Wipes wasn’t akin to Boogie Nights by Heatwave; but was a saline based facial wipe for children.  Oh, well, it’s got a great name, is in line with the Mojo Rules and you swear by them, so I’ll give it a go.

Well that was more than a year ago and now we swear by Boogie Wipes.  They clean up messy noses and residue in one or two swipes.  If you have a child with a runny nose, and sooner or later in winter you will….you need these.  They sell Boogie Wipes in the Children’s Medicine area, not with food and diapers. An added bonus is that when you ask your spouse if you need any Boogie Wipes you can dance to the song.  You may know Boogie Nights, here’s another classic by Heatwave, Groove Line, listen to this while we tell you a bit about Boogie Wipes.
We do love good entrepreneurs and Boogie Wipes is the product of two clever moms who saw a need and took a leap.  The company did 1 million in sales in 2008 and is poised to go over 10 million in sales in 2011.  They’re expanding the product line to include an adult product are writing a book and you can find them on twitter and Facebook.
