For people that have high rods in their closets this is a true blessing. You can retrieve and put back your clothes on hangers with ease.

Essential tool

Essential tool for when movement is restricted! I was able to use it for more than dressing – turning off lights, Pulling out a refrigerator vegetable bin, or adjusting sheets and blankets.

Dressing Stick

Wonderful stick. So helpful in getting dressed and undressed. Use it to help take my socks off, and a shoe horn, UNDOING VELCRO STRAPS ON MY SHOES, among many other tasks. I use the hook for the velcro straps on my shoes. Have found no other too for doing that task.

Q: How does this dressing stick work?

A: The vinyl coated hook on the end of the stick is placed inside the shoulder of a sleeve to pull over or it can be used to pull pants up from the belt loops or the waist band.

Q: I have an arthritic hip and can't reach down to pull on socks on my left foot. I've tried several gadgets for sock pullers and they are all much to wide and I can't get my small ankle sox over the center part. Is there something that will work for me?

Asked by: Cicely Roddy - 8/19/2017

A: The Dressing Stick should work with ankle socks but may not be as effective as a sock aid. The Easy On Easy Off Sock Aid Kit (AKE235B) does pretty well with smaller socks and nylons.
