Dressing + Button Assist

Description:

There is a huge difference between clothing you can wear easily, and clothing you stop reaching for because the buttons or zips take too much energy to manage.

This dressing aid is designed to help make those fastenings more accessible, helping people continue wearing the clothes they like, maintain independence with dressing, and reduce some of the frustration and effort that can come with small fiddly fastenings.

The wire loop helps guide buttons through button holes, while the hook end helps catch and pull zips with more control and leverage. The thicker handle is also easier to grip and hold, making it more comfortable to use day to day.

🧥 Button-up shirts and blouses
