Putting on socks

(53 Posts)

Just popped in to see my neighbour who has really bad arthritis. She said her feet were really cold as she finds it difficult to bend down to get some socks on.

I know there's lots of aids for this - my Dad bless him tried one towards the end of his life and landed up losing his temper and throwing it across the room (we did have a laugh about if afterwards!).

I've looked at them online but there seems to be so many different types - anyone got any recommendations? It would just be for getting an ordinary pair of ankle socks on.

When it came to pants I have memories of playing hoopla to try to get the first leg through! I'd given up.on trying with the grabber at that point. Happy days!

25avalon when my mums mobility was poor she always put her knickers on upside down by holding the crotch. It seems counter productive but does work
How do I turn upside down?
