Finding Arthritis-Friendly Products
Looking for more arthritis-friendly products?
Be Selective
Are there tasks you find difficult or that interfere with your independence? Seek out products that can make these everyday tasks easier.
Choose Texture
Products that offer better grip can be easier for people with arthritis to use. Choose tools with rubberized, bumpy handles, or drinking classes with textured exteriors for easier grasping.
Go Minimal
Products that require a lot of maintenance or cleaning will add to your to-do list. Choose products that are easily maintained to avoid added strain on your joints.
Think Safety
Choose products that are easy to use and that can keep you and your joints safe.
Tread Lightly
Lightweight items, especially those deigned for cooking and cleaning, can be easier on your joints. Heavy pots and cumbersome cleaning tools can strain your joints and cause unnecessary pain.
Open Wide
Products that are difficult to grasp or require twisting with your fingers to open and close should be avoided. Instead, look for products with flip-top caps and larger, easy-to-open lids. When it comes to clothing and accessories, opt for zippers over buttons.
Choose Comfort
Items comfortable to wear, carry or operate can help alleviate joint pain. Wear loose clothing and choose garments that are easy to put on and take off.
Go Minimal
Products that are simple and practical are usually easier to operate than fancy gadgets with intricate pieces.
Stay Close
Choose products that can be carried close to your body. This can help reduce pressure on your arms, hands and back.
Seal It
Products that feature the Ease of Use seal are proven to put less strain on your joints. Choose these items to ensure you’re buying tested and trusted arthritis-friendly products.
