Here's one baby product that's helping me with both: DaBib.
I know, you've already got bibs. But let me tell you what I like about this one.
One side of the Hugs bib is a soft micro-fiber terry and the other is waterproof. With teething comes drool. I've nicknamed the baby both "drool bucket" and "the juice." (The local college quarterback is called Juice.) The microfiber is very soft and because the back is waterproof, his shirts don't get soaked.
I also gave the bib the "carrot test." Yes, like babies across America his first food, other than cereal, was smooshed carrots. I put the bib on the baby with the waterproof side out for feeding. And, what do you know, the carrots wipe right off. I am able to use the bib for multiple feedings in a day. And on my 6-month-old the bib is large enough to cover his entire torso. I have not had to change his shirt once after a feeding while using this bib.
I have also washed and dried the bib many times. It didn't shrink or lose it's shape. I have other bibs that are machine washable but that have to air dry, which is a pain because you have to actually think as you sleepily put the laundry in the drier (or worse yet: yell instructions to your husband down the basement stairs).
It also folds compactly. Some other bibs are rigid and not easy to throw in a diaper bag or are too stiff to wad up and throw in.

According to their site, this is what makes their bibs unique:
Adjustable Scrunch collar stops leaks. Super absorbent, shrink-resistant, micro-fiber terry face soaks up spills. Waterproof backing protects baby’s clothing. Easy fastening front attach velcro collar. Extra large hour glass shape protects babies of all sizes. Hide-away food pouch catches crumbs and drips. Made of environmentally friendly materials, non-toxic, and completely lead-free, DaBib is the perfect gift for the new parent!
I have to agree!
They also sell a bib called Giggles that is waterproof on both sides and a burp cloth called DaBurp. Their products retail for $12.99 each.

WANT TO WIN IT? Congratulations Bree. She won the DaBib.

sounds wonderful!
This would be a life saver in our house as we are experiencing the same things right now.
that is so smart, my son is a drooler and a spitter upper, so this would be perfect!
All the best concepts for a big rolled up into one - it's perfect! I would love it!
I like the strip pattern on the one pictured.

love love them!
Very nice! Please include me in your drawing

This one looks big enough to catch the spills my Kiddo is expert at creating. Count me in - I could really use this.
you can't have enough bibs and these are so cute!
It sounds like it would be a perfect addition to our family.
Oooooooh! Stripes! Please randomly select me!
Love it! We desperately need a better bib!
Oh my, you can never have too many good bibs!!!
Cool bibs and we always need more!!!
I have got to get that bib. I have a 10 month old, perfect for this bib. The "juice" that is funny.
My daughter needs this bib! She even gets her legs messy when she eats!
I have a seven month old so I know exactly what you are talking about. Thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds great!
Would love to have one of these!! Thanks! (meg.wilson@gmail.com)
Could totally use this with #2 on the way!
Neato !! My daughter is a piggy...could really use this !!
We are just starting the self feeding stage. These bibs look like they will come in handy.
With my little one that loves to self-feed her food all over the floor, this would be great! ;)
We would love one!

My daughter ends up at mean time with more food on her clothes than in her tummy.
My little guy is niagra falls with the teething, so I could really use one! THanks!
This will be great when our son starts solids
Always looking for a better bib!
Love it!
Hello, Sounds like a great idea to me! Please put me in your drawing. Thanks, Cindi

Baby is on the throwing/ smushing stage of eating... This bib would come in handy!!!
What a great bib! We've been looking for one. I've had others that have shredded in the wash or not held up and this sounds great!
My daughter has reflux and is a major spitter upper, plus all the drooling. We go through at least 2 outfits a day and several bibs. This bib would definitely cut down on my laundry!
I've got one of these on my wish list.
please enter me thanks
My daughter needs a few of these. She's small and normal bibs don't fit tightly enough around her neck, so she always ends up with food on her collar.
I love that it folds up easily.
This is on my wish list for my new baby due in march
Looks like a great product for my drooling, teething, learning to eat solids little guy.
Count me in. My son is in the same boat at six months. Now I just need something to keep the drool and the sticky cereal off of ME!
This looks like a great bib!
This bib sounds like it can't be beat! I would love to win one!
Thanks!
This is really neat...my daughter will love it for her baby!!
Practical and cute. The best combination.

These bibs sound wonderful! I'd love to win one! :)
Love it!
Sounds great! Count me in, please.
must have been a mom designed product...too cool!
My little one is 4 1/2 months and is drooling like crazy! This would be perfect for him!
Please count me in. We are past the first foods but now we are on to feeding himself and teething...How fun (i never understood how food got in the hair until now), this won't help that problem, but it will drastically count down on the cleaning time.
cute! please enter me!
That is so neat! I love it, and would love to win one!
