Welcome to our blog #2!
WE REALLY WANT TO USE THIS SPACE (AND THIS SITE) TO SHOW YOU HOW CLOTHING CAN REALLY HELP IF YOU, OR A LOVED ONE, IS STRUGGLING WITH MOBILITY. WE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRAWLING THE INTERNET TRYING TO FIND THINGS THAT WOULD HELP OUR MUM…WE STRUGGLED AND SO THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE. wE HOPE THAT BY US SHOWING YOU THE THINGS THAT WILL HELP, IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME SEARCHING AND INSTEAD yOU CAN SPEND MORE TIME ENJOYING LIFE!
oNE OF THE BIGGEST “CRACKED IT!” MOMENTS WAS WHEN WE FINALLY FOUND SILKY PYJAMAS FOR mUM; ONES WITH AN ELASTIC WAISTBAND, NO UNCOMFORTABLE ADDITIONS LIKE LACE ETC AND FULL LENGTH SLEEVE AND TROUSER. THE SMOOTH SHINY FABRIC REALLY AIDS MOVEMENT IN BED WHEN WORN ON COTTON BED SHEETS. wHEN WE FOUND THE PYJAMAS, WE BOUGHT A FEW PAIRS AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE SPENT A LOT!
hOWEVER, IT QUICKLY BECAME APPARENT THAT THE TINY FIDDLY BUTTONS ARE A NIGHTMARE TO FASTEN FOR SOMEBODY WITH REDUCED DEXTERITY IN THEIR FINGERS. tHAT’S WHERE WE CAME UP WITH OUR VELCRO FRONT SILKY PYJAMAS. as THINGS DEVELOPED, THE LACK OF STRETCH IN THE SILKY FABRIC MADE MANOUVERING INTO THE PYJAMA SHIRT VERY DIFFICULT… BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR US…AND THAT IS WHERE WE CAME UP WITH OUR BACK OPENING PYJAMAS. tHE VELCRO BACK ON THIS VERSION REALLY HELPED WITH CARER ASSISSTED DRESSING AS THERE WAS NO NEED TO BE LEANING, STRETCHING OR BENDING INTO UNCOMFORTABLE POSITIONS IN ORDER TO GET ARMS INTO SLEEVES!
Another NIGHTWEAR DISCOVERY WE MADE WAS A SILKY HAIR BONNET. wHEN SOMEBODY IS SPENDING ALOT OF TIME IN BED OR A CHAIR WITH THEIR HEAD PRESSED AGAINST A SURFACE THEIR HAIR CAN BECOME QUITE TANGLED. wEARING A SILKY BONNET TO BED MEANT THAT THE HAIR STAYED MOSTLY INTACT OVERNIGHT SO THERE WAS NO NEED FOR UNCOMFORTBLE DETANGLING EACH MORNING.
WE HOPE THIS HAS BEEN EDUCATIONAL AND HELPFUL AND WILL HOPEFULLY SAVE TIME WHETHER YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR Yourself OR A LOVED ONE!
