adapted drinking cups

Holding a cup for most people is such an easy thing to do. However, for people with arthritis it can be a challenging task. Personally, my problem is that I might drop the cup. With no warning it can just slip right out of my hands. Consequently, I need to use a cup with at least one handle or use both hands to support it. This is where adapted drinking cups can come in handy.

Adapted drinking cups, mugs and glasses make it easier for people with arthritis to hold on to their drinks.
