Product Information
Full details
The Loops Pantyhose Dressing Aid is designed for individuals, particularly the elderly or those with mobility challenges, seeking an easier way to put on pantyhose and stockings. Its primary benefit is significantly reducing the need to bend over, promoting independence and reducing strain. A potential caveat is that it may require some practice to master the technique for certain types of hosiery. This innovative aid simplifies the dressing process by providing a moulded form to guide hosiery, making it a breeze to wear tights and stockings.

How do I clean the dressing aid?
You can clean it by wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild soap and water, ensuring it is dried thoroughly afterward.
Is it difficult to learn how to use?
Most users find it straightforward after a few attempts. The key is to spread the hosiery evenly over the mould and ensure your foot is correctly placed before pulling.
What is the weight of the product?

Troubleshooting
Pantyhose/stockings are difficult to slide onto the aid.
Ensure the hosiery is spread open wide enough over the moulded part of the aid. Try a different type of stocking or one made of a more slippery material. Ensure the aid is clean and dry.
The aid is hard to pull up the leg with the hosiery on.
Check that your foot is positioned correctly within the hosiery on the aid. Ensure the hosiery is not twisted. Gently twist the aid as you pull upwards to help it slide more smoothly. A light dusting of talcum powder on the user's leg or inside the stocking may help reduce friction.
The hosiery slips off the aid before the foot is inserted.
Make sure the hosiery is pulled up sufficiently onto the moulded body of the aid. You may need to ensure the top edge of the hosiery is secure around the widest part of the aid.
The looped handle feels flimsy.
The handle is designed for pulling the aid upwards. Avoid using excessive force or pulling sideways. If the handle appears damaged, discontinue use.
