Adapted Drinking Cups for the Disabled

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.

Two Handled Steel Cup for Easy Drinking

Two-Handled Steel 16 Ounce Cup

If you have any condition like arthritis or tremors that make it hard to drink from regular cups, mugs or glasses, this is the product for you. You can hold it with both hands, giving you a much firmer grip so you can feel confident while you are drinking.

Made from sturdy enameled steel and with it’s retro “town and country” styling, it is a nice change. What is nice about this mug is that it doesn’t look anything like a child’s cup or something medically related. And, with it being steel, it won’t break if you happen to drop it. The only downfall of the steel design is that if you put boiling liquid in it, it will become very hot to the touch.

The two handled cup holds 16 fluid ounces. At four inches wide it has a wide base which gives it a low center of gravity so it is less likely that it will tip. Also featured is a no-dribble rim so you won’t leak while you are drinking.
