Useful items for for People with HMS

P.S. none of us work for lakeland and we will be adding more items as we find them, let us know or post on the suggestions place of anything you've found that helps.

Lakeland - the home of creative kitchenware

Lakeland Limited have stores across the UK, you can also use mail order and order online from their website.  I have bought many products from them over the years and have found them to be a great company especially when it comes to customer service.  They have many items that I think would benefit people with hypermobile joints.  Their gadgets are great and I find  the jar gripper a great help with anyting that I can't turn such as stiff taps.  These are just a selection of products that I think that would be especially helpful.  They also sell a "Good Grips" range of utensils which have chunky handles and are easier to hold.

 

Ways to order:

By Post: Lakeland Limited, Alexandra Buildings, Windermere, Cumbria, LA23 1BQ

Magi Pull 

Magi Pull

Cans with ring-pulls are on the increase. Good news for some, but for many, opening them is them is still a loosing battle.  Magi Pull will make light work of any can with a ring-pull especially those akward sardine cans.

 Jarkey  

Jarkey

Jarkey opens jars in a jiffy by simple releasing the vacuum. (I find this is enough on its own, so you don't need the jar opener below)

 Super-Grip Jar Opener  

Super-Grip Jar Opener

Twist off stubborn jar lids with the greatest of ease.  The Supr-Grip Jar Opener has been cleverly designed to make ligt work of what is a difficult job for many, especially anyone with arthritis.  Two rubber straps tighten around the jar and lid independently, then contra-rotate to magically open the jar as the Super-Grip is turned.
