Spring Cleaning

One evening a husband, thinking he was funny, said to his wife "Perhaps we should start washing  your clothes in Slim Fast. May be it would take a few inches off your butt!".

His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply could not let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. "What the Hell is this??" he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out. "Susan", he hollered into the bathroom, "Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?"

She replied with a snicker ... "It's not talcum powder, my love - it's MiracleGrow!"

Shouldering the pain

We are often contacted to give advice about individuals care regarding which clothing options would best suit them and help them dress with ease.  

Our research and background gives us insight into the impact conditions have on the body and associated impairments to  movement. Despite everyone being unique and individual, the struggles people have with dressing are much the same and very common!

A decrease in shoulder movement is one of the most common among people. The ability to move the arm in a forward motion is commonly still there, but to rotate the arm up, to the side or to the back becomes increasingly difficult and can be very painful!

The advantages of our adaptive vests are that they open at the shoulders and down the front providing 

options to more easily (and painlessly) put the garment on yourself or others.

Dressing can actually be much easier and pain free!

Cleaner, crisper look (we think...)

We've just updated our entire website with brand spanking new photos. Our overall look is now crisper and our customers get improved views of our (still) exciting products. Enjoy - and don't forget to check out "deal of the day"........

Happily ever after, maybe..........

A young married couple, just married, were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they were undressing for bed, the husband, who was a big burly man, tossed his trousers to his bride and said; "Here, put these on." She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body. "I can't wear your trousers," she said. "That's right, said the husband, and don't you ever forget it. I'm the man who wears the trousers in this family."

With that she flipped him her knickers and said; "Try these on." He tried them on and found he could only get them as far as his knees. "Hell, he said, I can't get into your knickers!" She replied; "That's right, and that's the way it's going to stay until your attitude changes!"

Moral of the story...........perhaps they should compromise and buy our snap button briefs ;-)

Big week for us last week!

We issued our first press release last week and were a little anxious that it would not be picked up. Fortunately the response has been great - THANK YOU!

There seems to be genuine interest and a need for our easy on/off underwear and especially our new soft cotton disposable underwear. As our "now famous" press release says, this is the first adaptive disposable product on the market to be made from cotton.

All users of our disposable cotton underwear are surprised that they are just that - disposable - due to the quality, look and feel. I guess the word disposable means you take less care when making something because it's not meant to last - fair enough, but we've definitely taken it further and know you will be surprised when you see them. The cotton is very soft which make them ideal for, amongst others, elderly people who often have more sensitive skin.

Take a look at the pictures; bet you wouldn't have thought of those as disposable!

And here is our first ever press release (very excited!).

According to the UN...

According to the UN, over one billion people, or approximately 15 per cent of the world’s population, live with some form of disability.

This is a result of a variety of factors: people born with disabilities, age, illness, surgery or sports injuries. Easy Adaptive Wear  is determined to return the dignity of a simple daily task to individuals with our adaptive clothing.

Our adaptive clothing and underwear help individuals with all dexterity and mobility, or grasping challenges, including: arthritis, MS, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, developmental disorders, stroke victims, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, chronic disease and the typical aging process.

We are really proud of Easy Adaptive Wear's products and the way they play a part in helping people maintain their independence and dignity.

Have you seen our YouTube cartoon? It shows the cheeky side of how some people may become part of the one billion with some form of mobility / disability issue!

Welcome!

Welcome to Easy Adaptive Wear - the specialist in adaptive clothing. We thought we would start with the basics -underwear - and offer quality, affordable ladies and men’s underwear that is stylish, practical and comfortable - and that you would not be embarrassed to wear!!

All our underwear open at the sides with either snap buttons or Velcro tabs. The placement of the openings are such to maximise comfort and also prevent friction sores for those who have very limited mobility.

We understand that our customers have different needs and we finally want to get the conversation started about making clothes that work for you!

Let us know your thoughts. We'd love to hear about your issues with underwear and clothing, good or bad, and what would make your life a little easier!
