The Compleat® Tubie-Ween collection helps address a challenge many tubie families face during Halloween, as most off-the-rack costumes aren’t designed with feeding tube access in mind and often require parents and caregivers to cut or alter to make them work. By designing with these families from the start, Compleat® is helping make dressing up for Halloween easier, more creative and more inclusive.

Yes, Compleat® worked closely with all the tubie families featured in this campaign.

For Scarlett and Wyatt: we started by asking what they’d like to be for Halloween. Then we worked with a fashion expert to create each element of the design with care, bringing both their costume dreams to life.

For Lavender: we worked with her and her mom Rose Elizabeth (@little.miss.seamstress) to bring together their vision for Lavender’s costume this year.

Every person who uses a feeding tube is different. Some tubies may be able to enjoy food and candy by mouth, while others may have dietary restrictions or receive some or all their nutrition through a feeding tube. Families and their healthcare teams determine what is appropriate based on each individual’s needs.

But the fun of trick-or-treating is about so much more than what’s inside the wrapper! One simple way everyone can help make Halloween more inclusive is by offering a mix of edible and non-edible treats. Small toys, stickers, pencils, temporary tattoos or other little prizes can give those with feeding tubes, food allergies and other medical or dietary needs more ways to participate in the excitement of choosing a treat and celebrating alongside their friends.

A little variety at the treat bowl can go a long way toward helping everyone feel more included in the Halloween fun!
