New Compleat costume collection brings tubie’s dream Halloween looks to life and offers customizable patterns, DIY resources and ideas to help make Halloween traditions more inclusive
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Oct. 22, 2026 – Just in time for Halloween, Compleat®, a leader in tube feeding nutrition, is introducing a new collection of one-of-a-kind Halloween costumes designed in partnership with tubies and their families, with feeding tube access thoughtfully built into every look. The collection is part of a broader effort from Compleat to help make Halloween more accessible and inclusive for the tube fed community.
To bring the collection to more tubie families, Compleat is also releasing the brand’s first ever toolkit for tubie Halloween costumes, including a step-by-step guide so tubie families everywhere can create accessible Halloween looks of their own. The resources, available at compleat.com/TubieWeenCollection, give parents and caregivers inspiration and practical tools to create accessible Halloween looks tailored to their loved ones individual needs and imagination.
The collection was created by the brand in collaboration with three tubies and their families, bringing together professional costume design expertise, plus the lived experience of seamstress and tubie mom Rose Elizabeth (@little.miss.seamstress). From the earliest ideas through the final designs, each participating tubie and their family helped shape a costume inspired by exactly what they wanted to be for Halloween, with the brand helping translate their visions into imaginative, functional designs that account for feeding tube access.
“Halloween should be about the excitement of dressing up, expressing yourself and celebrating with the people around you,” said Priyanka Malhotra, Director of Marketing for Compleat at Nestlé Health Science. “By listening to real tubie families and designing around their needs and imaginations, we hope the Tubie-Ween Collection can provide inspiration for families while showing how thoughtful design can help make Halloween more accessible.”
The Tubie-Ween Collection:
- Magic Cowgirl Princess – Scarlett, 5, Pittsville, MD: Scarlett dreamt up a look that combines all her favorite things: princesses, fairies and cowgirls. Her sparkling pink-and-purple dress pairs fairy wings and cowgirl boots with a magic wand, while heart-shaped details add a special touch—including one cleverly designed to provide access to her feeding tube.
- SuperWyatt and His Wyatt Mobile – Wyatt, 19, Silver Spring, MD: Wyatt has always loved superheroes—and to his family, he already is one. His superhero alter ego, SuperWyatt, comes to life with silver armor, a mask and a bold blue “W,” while his wheelchair transforms into the Wyatt Mobile, which lights up brighter the faster he moves.
- Bouquet of Flowers – Lavender, 9, St. Louis, MO: Inspired by her love of flowers, Lavender’s costume transforms her into a colorful bouquet of wildflowers. Bursting with blooms and personality, the design brings her vision of becoming a beautiful garden in bloom to life for Halloween.
“As a tubie mom, I know how much parents are already thinking through, especially when it comes to their kid’s Halloween costume,” said Rose Elizabeth, seamstress, tubie mom and creator of Little Miss Seamstress. “Having an opportunity to work with Compleat has been a longstanding staple in my daughter Lavender’s life. Compleat offers a great range of formulas with real and recognizable food ingredients for her diet. What made this project extra special was starting with the kids’ imaginations and finding creative ways to bring their ideas to life. You can see their personalities shine in every detail.”
Making Halloween More Inclusive Beyond the Costume
Compleat is also encouraging families, friends and neighbors to consider simple ways to make Halloween traditions more welcoming for people with different needs. For trick-or-treating, that can include offering a mix of edible and non-edible options, such as small toys, stickers or temporary tattoos, giving tubies, those with food allergies and others with medical or dietary needs more ways to take part in the excitement of choosing a treat.
While every tubie’s experience is different, everyone deserves the chance to feel part of the traditions that make Halloween special. By bringing greater visibility to tube feeding and sharing practical ways to make holidays more accessible, Compleat hopes to inspire the broader community to help create Halloween traditions where more people can participate in the fun.
