Choosing a Scentsy Buddy

A full-size Scentsy Buddy has a zipped pouch in the back that holds a removable Scent Pak, so you can change its fragrance whenever you like. That makes it the one to choose for a child’s long-term favourite.

• Blankie Buddies are a plush head on a soft blanket body, lighter and easier for very small children. They come already scented and have no Scent Pak, so the fragrance can’t be changed or refreshed and gently fades over time.
• Weighted & Warming Buddies have a gentle weight through the body and can be warmed in the microwave. Take the Scent Pak out first and follow the warming instructions that come with it — they’re clear on how to do it safely — a wind-down option for bedtime.
• Buddy Clips are small clip-on characters for school bags and backpacks. They’re filled with fixed scented beads, so the fragrance can’t be changed and will gradually fade.

Questions people ask

How long does a Scent Pak last?
Scentsy’s official guidance is around 30 days, but in practice three to six months is typical before the fragrance really drops off. Swap it when you notice it fading.

Can I wash a Buddy?
Spot cleaning is best: a damp cloth with a little mild soap, then let it air dry. If it really needs a full wash, take the Scent Pak out first — it must never go in the wash — and wash the Buddy in a pillowcase or mesh bag on a gentle, cold cycle. Blankie Buddies are best spot cleaned, as a machine wash takes some of their fragrance with it.
