1. Helps Reduce the Risk of Tube Dislodgement

Accidental dislodgement of G-Buttons buttons can happen during everyday activities like diaper changes or repositioning in bed—creating stress and potential interruptions in care.

Button Huggies are designed to provide a gentle, secure hold over G-Button buttons and feeding tubes. This helps reduce movement at the site and supports greater comfort and consistency during daily use.

✔️ Helps prevent dislodgement

✔️ Supports granulation reduction by keeping the area stable

They offer caregivers added peace of mind and contribute to a more consistent care routine.

2. Supports Cleaner, More Reliable Night Feeds

Nighttime tube disconnections can lead to formula leakage and disrupted feeding—creating extra cleanup and lost sleep for both caregivers and children.

Button Huggies are designed to help keep feeding tubes more securely in place throughout the night, supporting a smoother, more restful routine.

✔️ Helps minimize leakage

✔️ Supports cleanliness by reducing moisture near the site

They offer an added layer of security, so caregivers can feel more confident during overnight feeds.

3. Made for Comfort

Whether you're caring for an infant, toddler, senior, or someone with unique medical needs, comfort and security are key to daily tube care.

Button Huggies were created by a nurse and parent with firsthand experience in home care. They’re soft, low-profile, and simple to apply — no belts, adhesives, or complicated steps required.

✔️ Designed for comfort

✔️ Easy to apply and gentle on skin

Made with everyday caregivers in mind—not just clinical use.

They make it easy to replace gauze without disrupting the tube site—supporting a cleaner, more comfortable care routine.

✔️ Simple gauze replacement

✔️ Supports hygiene around the site

A convenient solution that helps caregivers stay focused on what matters most.

Caring for someone with a feeding tube involves many daily tasks and responsibilities. Button Huggies are designed to provide an added layer of security, helping caregivers feel more confident between checks.

They help keep the site stable during everyday movement, so both caregivers and patients can focus on comfort and daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will these be covered by insurance?

The Button Huggie is currently not covered by insurance but the Ezalife team is working towards reimbursement and HSA/FSA coverage.

2. Can you use them on a newborn?

Yes. Button Huggies are designed with soft, skin-friendly material that’s gentle enough for infant skin while still providing a secure fit.

3. How long can each Button Huggie® be worn?

Each base is intended to last anywhere between 4-8 days, depending on how often you bathe your child, and other factors.

Make sure that the Button Huggie is applied to skin that is clean and completely dry. Applying the Button Huggie after a bath or when the child/patient is sweaty will likely result in the adhesive failing early. 

If you find that the adhesive still isn't lasting long, you may want to try using a skin-prep, such as Cavilon skin barrier. 

Avoid touching the underside of the adhesive when applying the Button Huggie. We know this one can be tricky, but oils from your hand getting on the adhesive can cause it to lose stickiness faster. We recommend peeling the backing as shown in this video: https://youtu.be/TLoVvH4gxLQ

4. Is it suitable for sensitive skin or allergy-prone patients?

Button Huggies are made with breathable, latex-free materials and are designed to be gentle on skin. Many caregivers use them for individuals with skin sensitivities.

5. Can Button Huggies be used during nighttime feeds or sleep?

They are designed to help keep the tube secure during periods of rest, including nighttime feeds. This may help minimize movement and leakage while sleeping.

6. How does Button Huggie® differ from traditional G-tube belts or wraps?

Unlike reusable wraps or belts, Button Huggies are lightweight, disposable, and easy to apply—without Velcro, straps, or adhesives. They’re designed to fit into daily routines while providing a comfortable, low-profile securement option.

The Science Behind The Button Huggie

10 years ago, 50-60% of children who had creation of a gastrostomy underwent percutaneous endoscopically guided (PEG) gastrostomy placement. Nowadays, laparoscopic primary g-button placement has largely supplanted PEG placement, due to fewer major post-operative complications. Unfortunately, complications do still persist with the g-button placement, which include pain and discomfort, leakage, infection, granulation tissue formation, and accidental dislodgement. While the exact causes for the symptoms vary, it is theorized that lack of g-button stability is a primary factor. When a g-button is exposed to external forces (clothes catching, accidental hand-swipe etc.) and human-related forces (twisting of the abdomen, skin folding, coughing etc.), there is shearing between the g-button and the skin and the windening of the stoma. We believe that inhibiting the movement of the g-button, relative to the surrounding skin, will reduce the chances of accidental dislodgement and lessen stress on the stoma, so that the gastrostomy tract can heal faster, reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
