Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals with limited mobility in the head and neck, or those who need to take small amounts of medication or liquid. The key benefit is the ability to drink without tilting the head back, thanks to its unique design. A caveat is that the flexible material may require some getting used to for optimal grip. These cups are made from flexible plastic, feature a cut-out for nose clearance, and allow for grip adjustment to change lip shape for easier intake. They are top-rack dishwasher safe and sold in packs of five, with the pink color indicating a 30ml (1 fl.oz) capacity. They have also received an 'OT Recommended' seal of approval.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the pink Flexi-Cut Cup?
The pink Flexi-Cut Cup has a capacity of 30 ml, which is equivalent to 1 fluid ounce.
How does the nose cut-out help?
The cut-out allows the cup to be tilted higher towards the mouth without the rim pressing uncomfortably against the nose. This reduces the need to tilt the head back significantly.
Can I change the shape of the lip?
Yes, the flexible plastic allows you to gently squeeze the cup to alter the lip shape for easier intake, providing a more personalized fit.
How should I clean these cups?
They are top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. You can also hand wash them with mild soap and water.
Are these cups suitable for hot liquids?
While the plastic is durable, it is not designed for extremely hot liquids which could cause warping. They are best suited for room temperature or warm beverages.
What does 'OT Recommended' mean?
'OT Recommended' means the product has been tested and approved by Occupational Therapists for its functionality, ease of use, safety, and value for money.
What are these cups primarily used for?
They are ideal for administering medication or for drinking small amounts of liquid, especially for individuals with limited head and neck mobility.
Troubleshooting
Cup feels too flexible or hard to grip.
Experiment with the tightness of your grip on the cup. A firmer grip will slightly alter the lip shape for a more controlled feel. Ensure your hands are dry for better traction.
Difficulty in tilting the cup sufficiently.
Ensure the nose cut-out is positioned correctly towards your nose. The design allows for a higher tilt angle than standard cups; practice the tilt angle that works best for you.
Residue after washing in the dishwasher.
Confirm the cup is placed securely on the top rack and is not obstructed. Run a dishwasher cleaning cycle if mineral buildup is suspected. Handwashing with mild soap and water can also be effective.
