Product Details

The Tights Aid makes putting on tights quicker, easier and more comfortable for people with limited mobility, reduced flexibility or back and hip problems. Its simple design holds the tights open so the user can place their feet inside before pulling the tights smoothly up the legs using the long straps, eliminating the need to bend down.

The flexible plastic gutter securely supports the tights while they are being positioned, making dressing less strenuous and helping to maintain independence. Once the tights have been pulled up to the knees, the aid can be removed easily and the tights pulled into their final position by hand.

Lightweight and compact, the Tights Aid is easy to store or take away when travelling, making it a practical dressing aid for everyday use.

    Really good product for putting my tights on. I'm waiting for a hip replacement and can't bend down to put either tights or socks on. I would highly recommend this to other people who struggle putting their tights on.

    Review by L Heppinstall Posted on 16/06/2014 07:38:56
    The tights aid is a small and simple item but makes my life so much easier as I have severe ulna drift in both hands. I would definitely recommend it and will give it 5 out of 5.

    Good tights aid

    Review by W Corney Posted on 02/05/2014 09:24:56
    I am very happy with my tights “puller – upper”!! it has certainly saved my tights from the damage they were receiving before I got the tights “puller – upper”. The whole procedure from ordering to delivery was very good – they almost arrived before I had sent the email through!
