Safety lap strap by C. Tait
This belt was so much better quality than the one on my chair, I have only had my chair for a few months but the belt fastener had broken and the belt was too long ad could not adjust small enough.. Hubby had to adjust new one by cutting the new belt at the back in half, folding the two ends and fitting at the sides of the chair, really comfortable when adjusted to my size. Great Granny.

Replacement sponges by Patricia Pirozzi
I am pleased with this lotion applicator. It has a nice soft sponge, good for sensitive or damaged skin, and the handle is at a good angle for reaching the awkward parts of the back. Also, it is not so long as some I have tried, which can become quite unwieldly, and it is easy to handle.

Toilet seat higherer by J ryan
I have spinal stenosis. I wasn't going to have toilet aid. Ego? Maybe. After really bad flare up I had a toilet frame. It helped, but my toilet was still to low. In desperation I ordered this seat higherer. CHANGED MY LIFE. Best thing ever.it is just placed on toilet.fits perfectly. If I have visitors just lift it off. If I could travel,I could take it with me. I'm delighted.im hurting much less. The firm are great to. They are very helpful. Don't suffer, get one.

Folding Commode - Suits us fine by Replacement hip operation person
My husband is about to have a replacement hip operation and though we realise he will be encouraged to walk up and downstairs very soon after- our stairs are deep and steep between the toilet on the first floor and the sitting room on the ground floor and we thought keeping that folding commode downstairs for emergencies would be sensible. It folds easily and close together and is covered neatly by a large black bin bag under our stairs and it was a very reasonable price. What not to like even if it’s not in use for long?

Helpful by Ann
Found this item helpful in putting on socks as osteoarthritis in my hip and knee made it impossible to lift my right leg up enough to reach my foot properly. The item works but could be smaller and more flexible - perhaps offer two size options for customer choice.

When you need a bit extra by M. Jones
The 12 inch rails are good, these 18 inch ones are... Well.... Longer believe it or not! By a whole 6 inches!
Just as good and easy to install if you can use a drill, screwdriver and if not, they won't take long for someone else to do it for you whilst you relax with a cuppa safe in the knowledge that you'll soon have a handrail to rely on.
06/03/2024
Nice hand rails by M. Jones
For the price you won't beat these, it's silly money considering the safety and extra confidence these handrails give me
Five holes at each end (none in hard to get places thankfully, so tightening screws was easy). Are covered by the clip on case so looks very neat and they look like a professional fitted them not this doddery bloke that I've turned into.
For an easy, cheap and well made handrail look no further.
06/03/2024
Superb support by M. Jones
Bought two of these as I didn't want to drill through tiles in the shower (my wife would end me if I cracked a tile by accident) and I couldn't be happier with them.
They were quite simple to install, just press them firmly where they need to go and close the lever... Job done! The suction pads can't go over grout lines and you have to ensure the green safety sign is showing.
All in all they are well worth the money, they have made all the difference to me knowing I have something secure to hold in the shower.

Stick 'n' stay mobility handle 40cm by Jemima

Zip pulls by C. Marzano
I have osteoarthritis in my hands and had great difficulty putting on a new pair of zippered ankle boots . I have a wooden zip pull , but I don’t always carry it with me . The zips on my new boots were very hard and stiff , but .by attaching the zip pulls , I had more to grip and pull with , making life so much easier . These zip pulls are extremely well made , well priced and came on time and I would thoroughly recommend them .

Awesome! by A. Edwards
Prior to buying I asked if it was easy to assemble as I cannot bend or twist and live alone, they were kind enough to send me the instructions by email so I could see before buying. It arrived in good condition and only took me about 10 minutes to assemble it. Excellent quality materials and sturdy. Now I can get my shopping from the front door to my kitchen so much easier. I would recommend.

Would highly recommend by A. Vandeleur
I have been struggling with my stability due to hypermobility.
I have looked at so many different products and sites.
I done my research and finally decided on the flexyfoot as I like to go out walking but haven't been able to.
I love them, they are brilliant, they do exactly what I need them to do.
I feel so much safer and able to go where I would like now.
I have used them around town and on the beach without any issues.
And I love the colour range you can choose from.
Would definitely recommend these to anyone that is struggling with stability over using a walking stick because of the added support up the arm.
And the hand grips are comfy to.

A grab handle that does what it says on the box! by M. Fuller
I love this grab handle. It’s so easy to use. I can reposition it . Place it at any angle. The green light indicates that the suction is fully on. Lifting both levers completely and a good tug will remove it. No more drilling into tiles and feels safer too.
