I love a comfort product and this well executed, wearable pillow fits the bill! It has 4 built in pockets to stash drains, heat/cold packs, and necessary items to function. It comes with 2 lengths of strap to accommodate most sizes and shapes. I recommend for mastectomy recoveries, rib and Sternal fractures, and cardiac surgery recovery!

On World Mental Health Day, I am partnering with @cvspharmacy and their brand #oneandother to remind everyone that self-care should be accessible to everyone! It’s not enough to just stand for inclusivity and diversity, it needs to be seen through the products and services.

Designed by lived experience in collaboration with members of the disability community, one+other’s Universal Tools collection includes six universally comfortable to use tools because they understand it is a vital component to each individual’s ability to perform basic self-care.
The basic self-care tasks matter. Your access to them matters. They are the foundation for personal well being and quality of life. one+other is helping to create a world where individuality is celebrated, and self-expression is the standard. Explore the new Universal Tools and the 200+ self-care products from one+other in the beauty and personal care aisles at your local CVS and on CVS.com

This is a classic for anybody struggling to put a bracelet or watch on without a second person! There are other techniques but they require active grip in both hands. By using a hair tie with the paper clip you can do it with hemiparesis!
What do you think? Could this help you or someone you know?

This is a good one for those struggling to get through a hair styling with upper extremity pain and fatigue! Tripods are a really easy item to find and have come down in price dramatically over the years!

The Picksy is an awesome option for a simple grabber! The surface is sticky and holds items up to a pound without having to bend or reach! The sticky surface can be used over and over with a simple rinse with water!

You asked and I found an option! Do they make kids sized sock aids? No, but you can 3D print one! The file for this print (which takes approximately 3-4 hours to print using PETG filament) is in my links page in my bio.

I love a twist on a classic! This small based quad cane works well as a supportive cane but also adds additional support with a fold down handle for sit to stand leverage! The extra support can make a huge difference for those who struggle to stand from low or soft surfaces!

Whether the challenge is breaking the egg cleanly, or with one hand, or with less overall dexterity, these tools may be the answer! There are actually several more designs available, but I chose these for the obvious value they could bring to independent kitchen function!

Offset hinges are not only economical and easy to install, but they can also maximize accessibility! Widening a doorway to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs makes a huge difference for a homes access.

These are the most adaptable utensils I’ve ever found! Great for someone who needs a variety of adaptations to perform self feeding independently. *A tip for adding maximum amount of weight is to pine derby car tungsten weights! Cheap and safer than lead with the same density!
