Summer’s almost here, and that means that the kids will be spending a lot more time outside. And as the weather improves, a whole new world of fun activities unfolds: our little ones might be climbing trees, riding their first two-wheeler, perfecting jumps on that wicked new skateboard or racing the asphalt strip in roller-blades. Whatever it is that your kids get up to this summer, be prepared: clad only in shorts and tank tops, those knees and elbows (and other parts, too) are vulnerable to minor cuts and abrasions.
We know that keeping skin clean is important to prevent infection, and applying an antibiotic ointment and bandage helps promote faster healing and can reduce scarring as well. But what to do if you’re out at the playground or the skate park when an accident strikes? Enter POLY TO GO, a fabulous new spray-on product from the makers of trusted antibiotic creams and ointments, Polysporin. POLY TO GO is a topical antiseptic to treat minor injuries while on the go, until you can get home and apply an antibiotic ointment and bandage. Not only is POLY TO GO super easy to apply, its new format makes it spill-proof to leave in your purse (or an older child’s backpack). It’s the perfect solution for active, on-the-go families!
Our Go2Girlz Product testers recently had the opportunity to try POLY TO GO for themselves, and they were unanimous in their opinion: this product is a winner! All of the Go2Girlz who tested POLY TO GO said they wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a friend, and they also all agreed that they would most likely buy this product for themselves. The key benefits for our testers were the size and the ease of use, including the ‘touch-free’ nature of the spray, which helps to prevent cross-contamination of the wound. Many of our testers said their children could apply it by themselves, and all felt the size was just right for carrying in a purse, and Mary said, “it was perfect because my teenaged son just popped it into his pocket when he went to the skate park with his friends.”
But what else did the Go2Girlz have to say about POLY TO GO? Lots! Here are just a few of the comments our testers made:
“This came at just the right time…literally! I received the mail just as my oldest son came limping home from school wheeling his bike and grimacing at his hands… He had taken a very bad spill and skinned his palms on both hands, and his one knee enough to rip his jeans. He was sure the poly-to-go would hurt, but was relieved when the spray action actually felt nice (and mom didn’t have to touch him to rub cream on the cuts). Very handy product…and the Band-Aid Perfect Fit bandages with it were great too!” — Erin, mom of 2
“Everyone can use this product. Our world is full of potentially harmful bacteria. I know first hand how easily a seemingly innocuous cut can turn into blood poisoning. This product can be a defense against some of these potentially life threatening bacteria.” – Elizabeth, mom of 2
“With little one’s you always need to be prepared for just about anything and now I will have a great product on hand for those scrapes and scratches. When we were in Disneyworld at the wave pool, I was literally dragged along the bottom of the pool. I was scraped from the knee down and it was very painful. I went to the First Aid room and that is what they gave out-Polysporin! It kept the cuts from getting infected and helped it heal quickly.” – Launa, mom of 2
“The bottle is the perfect size to keep in a purse or bag. The fact that you can spray the wound is great. If you aren’t at home to wash your hands there is no need to worry. Just spray it on.” – Joanne, mom of 1
“The ease of this product is the beauty of it. No creams, no gunky mess, no fiddling with tubes while comforting a crying child. This product is the next best thing to mommy’s kiss on a boo-boo.” – Elizabeth, mom of 2
I agree this would be a good portable product but I am waiting to hear when the first child sprays the poly to go in their mouth thinking its the listerine mouth spray which is exactly same size, shape except a different colour.
Just had a situation where this product came in very handy. My dog had a toe removed and many stitches were used to help it heal. When the bandage was removed, the vet told us to use polysporin on the toe. I tried using the regular polysporin, but it was painful for my dog when I touched the stitches. When I tried to avoid the stitches, I couldn’t get close to the skin. Anyways, we bought poly to go and it’s been great. He isn’t irritated when I spray it on and it covers the whole area.
I’d be interested to see if it is as effective as the regular polysporin.
Love it! I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have pulled the Poly To Go out of my purse to fix up someone. It’s so convenient and easy to use that I’m starting to hunt down injured people just so I can use again and tell them (or their parents) about this wonderful new product.
This product is perfect! It is compact, fits in your pocket and purse and is available whenever you need it, which is often with my clumsy kids!
I love the idea of being able to send it to school or camp with my daughter in her backpack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is perfect! not just for the kids but for the inner klutz in me!
perfect for my horse show 1st Aid bag!!!
I like polysporne to begin with what a great product idea,
This would be perfect to bring to everywhere you go and easily storable. Would love to win this product for my daughter who loves getting her knees and elbows scratched!!!
Convenient packaging, easy to carry around in every mom’s purse. Perfect to bring along on outings with the kids.
Easy to carry, easier to use. I highly recommend this for all families!

My son scraped his knees while playing outside this past weekend. Through his tears, he sprayed on the Polysporin and now his little cuts are well on the road to recovery.
I was so relieved that this product worked for my son, and his scrapes have healed great!
Perfect for pocket or purse, will for sure be using again!
Going to be a long summer!
– Erin, mom of 2
This product is a new staple in our house! It is easy to use and easy to carry around! With no worries about messy cream, it makes life so much easier!
I feel the same as those other moms above: this is such a handy little product, I can’t believe it wasn’t thought of sooner!
It’s the perfect pocket or purse size. And, very easy to manage – my seven year old daughter used it herself and was quite comfortable with it. No scary tubes or creams, just a neat little spray and those wee boo boos are clean and under control.
Great thinking and perfect timing for the impending summer season of bumps and scrapes.
-Cynthia, mom of 3
I need it !!!
This is an awesome product! Great for all outdoor activities and fabulous for the fishing box too I would recommend it be added to any picnic/fishing box for people on the go!
This would be a perfect product to bring to our baseball game. The 6-8 year old kids are constantly getting banged up and need first aid.
