Product in Focus: Summer Essentials
Summer is here, and the new year is full of hot days, enjoying the sun and the sand at the beach, or finding a nice cool spot under the air con or splashing in the pool.
Assistive technology is a great tool to help you make the most of summer and beat the heat in a safe and independent way – so check out our suggested solutions and enjoy the warm weather!
Keeping Cool
On hot days, it is essential to stay hydrated and keep cool, and for some people, heat regulation can be difficult to manage. If you use a wheelchair or walking frame, a clip-on cup holder is a handy piece of tech that ensures that your water bottle is always within reach, and non-slip drink bottle holders keep them steady when using or refilling.
Bathers and Swimsuits
Heading to the beach or to the pool is a fantastic way to keep cool and have fun on hot summer days, and these accessible bathers allow you to swim in comfort and confidence. Slip on swimsuits are designed to slide on and off with ease, instead of having inaccessible ties, clips, or zips, and they come in a range of sizes and colours too. Containment bathers are designed to assist with incontinence and ensure that you are feeling confident and secure, and are made of breathable materials in many different styles and designs for extra comfort and choice.
Beach and Pool Accessories
Besides bathers, there are some other great accessories that can make your swimming experience more accessible. Water walking assistants provide stability and support in the pool, while beach wheelchairs and frames allow you to transfer seamlessly from the path to the beach. Lotion applicators can help you reach your legs, feet, and back so that you are good to go for sunny summer days.
