Product Details

The Dorking Tight Aid is a straightforward tool designed to make putting on tights easier for people who find bending or reaching to their feet difficult. It works by creating a guided pathway for the tights, reducing the need to stretch or lean forward.

The aid consists of two shaped plastic gutters connected to long cotton tapes. The tights are first placed over the gutters and held in position using the side notches. Once the feet are positioned at the open end, the user pulls on the tapes to draw the tights smoothly over the feet and up the legs. This makes dressing far easier for those with reduced mobility, limited flexibility or recovering from surgery.

Lightweight and simple to handle, the Dorking Tight Aid is a practical addition to everyday dressing routines at home or in care settings.

    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!
