Dmi Deluxe Sock Aid Easily Pull On Socks Without Bending, Slip Resista

Customer Reviews

An Excellent and Very Durable Product!Only wish I'd looked for this product earlier. I'd been going sockless due to decreased flexibility, but then the weather got chilly and I knew I'd have to figure something out for putting socks on. This works great and it is really quite cheap. I'm a happy camper with warm feet now. At first it looks like overkill for just putting a sock on, but once you use it, you see why it is designed the way it is.UPDATE: it is now Sept. 17, 2013 and I am still using the Duro-Med I bought in 2010! I had bought a second one in case the first one broke (loved it and had used it every day), but three years later the replacement still sits in a drawer and I still use the original every day. UPDATE: It is November 23, 2018 and I am still using this sock aid! Yes, the original purchase from 2011. I have another for my gym bag and a spare I've never needed. And the price these days is substantially less for the exact same item. 5No happy dance here!The reviews looked promising so I gave this donner a try. Since I've already thrown away all of the packaging, this can't be returned. I stupidly thought it would work more than twice. Silly me! I had to struggle, grunt and groan in order to just fit my compression stockings over the donner. Everything has a learning curve so having a little trouble was expected. But, my stockings continued to slip off the donner. I really regret being unable to return this sock aid so if you decide to try this it, make sure you save everything just in case. Maybe you'll have better luck. Hope this helps. 1It failed during the first use.More than ten years ago I order a DMI Deluxe No Bend Sock Aid after several surgeries. After patching it s couple of times over the last ten years the plastic failed when the pull straps broke through one of the two slots in the plastic that held a straps in place. After extensive search we ordered what we thought was a comparable replacement. When we received the product we were happy because the materiel was comparable. The next day I attempted to use your product and didn't even get the first low quarter sock on before the strap broke lose from the toweling. where it had been sown. I believe someone left out an assembly step. Instead of cutting slots into the plastic and threading each strap through the slot the strap was sown into the cover made of toweling backed by a light material. I didn't get ONE sock on before the sowing failed. 1My favorite sock aid.I have severe back issues. Bending over long enough to put on socks usually results in me cramping and the pain isn't worth it. I tried the pre-formed mostly non-flexible sock aid, sortof looks like a half of a pvc pipe, with cloth on the outside to grip the sock and a slippy inner coating. It works well if done right. I pull almost the entire sock onto the aid and ensure no sock extends past the top (your foot doesn't go into the 'hole' well if there's sock above the aid as it hangs up on the sock), and I put the sock on the aid all the way to the toe or I usually end up with quite a pull getting the sock all the way on, which has to be a lot of stress for the sock. This aid, however, makes it very easy. Note the 'hourglass' design with pull straps on the big end. You 'curl' the small end into a cone enough to slip the sock onto it about 2/3 of the aid length, just up to where the narrow waist starts to get wider towards the strap end. Then just slip your foot in and pull, and you usually get the sock on all the way to the toe! Much easier, once you get the hang of it, and I bet the expensive socks will last longer as they are a lot less strained. I think the stress difference is evident in that I have yet to have to repair the cover on this aid, while on the other one it has an abundance of, yes, duct tape! Bonus: This one lays flat, so it is a lot easier to pack on trips. 5Sock Aid rocks!When I purchased this I really didn't think it would work but I was desperate. I have arthritis and I can barely bend my knees so putting on my socks was a task I dreaded. But it works, it really, really works. And it's so easy to use! I must say that I am pleased as punch and no longer have to dread getting dressed in the morning. If I could get up and do a happy dance believe me I would. 5An easy fixFix the problem it does!As arthritis progressed, first I could no longer tie my shoe laces. Solution: Loafers.As time passed I found it really painful to put on my socks. I could do it, but afterwards I ached for hours. Solution: Sock Aid.There are many sock aids on the market, and I have tried more than a dozen different ones. This DMI Deluxe No Bend Sock Aid is by far the best I have tried. The Sammons Preston Flexible Sock & Stocking Aid is a close second, and is a couple of dollars less expensive, but for my money the DMI Deluxe, manufactured By Briggs Healthcare is better. Most of the others are stiff plastic which has to be bent in order to position the sock. If you also have arthritis in your hands, this is an extremely painful chore.Briggs has solved this problem. It is easy, quick and the device will last for a long time. The only minor negative is that it is too delicate to be washed in a washing machine and dried in a dryer. It will fall apart and cannot be repaired. Instead, hand wash with a mild detergent, rinse and air dry.Great product which solves a real problem that most people don't know exists. If you have any friends or relatives with arthritis this might well be the most thoughtful gift you can find. 5Read this reviewFirst of all, it is difficult to get this inside a sock. One hand needs to keep it folded in half, while the other hand tries to stretch a sock over it.If you have arthritis in your hands or wrists, you will most likely find this a very difficult task.After you get the sock on it, it's time to push your foot into it and pull your sock up. However, after repeated tries with different socks, it would only get the sock around my ankle, and leave it there. I still had to bend down to pull my socks up.If you have back issues and/or trouble bending down, this is probably not a good choice for you.Finally, after only having this for one day, and only attempting to use it about 6 times, the terry cloth side is already showing noticeable wear. This makes me believe that this item would not be durable for long term use. 1Works greatJust had hip surgery this works great after many disappointing products on the internet this is a keeper thanks so Far so good 5Works well when the straps don't brake offI had purchased one like this for my husband from a discount pharmacy two years ago which still works well. He uses it daily to put on his compression socks. He would not be able to get them on by himself without the use of this device. I ordered two through Amazon to have as a backup and to stay at another location outside the home. The first time my husband used the new one, the strap broke, he tried the second new one and that strap also broke so he went back to using his old one. We're very disappointed since we had good results for the past two years from the first one we purchased. I'll try sewing the staps back on as others have said they've done, but I won't order any more. 2Best item for big legsI suffer from lymphedema in one leg and have difficulty putting on socks. I have tried other sock aids and because of the size of my foot and ankle most don't work. The plastic is too stiff to accommodate my foot and leg, and are more trouble than help. Sometimes they are hard to even figure out. The Duro-Med works perfectly. It is incredibly easy to use, soft on your skin, and regardless of leg size works like a dream. The straps are long enough so you do not have to bend to use them. I recommend the Duro-Med without reservation. If you are unfortunate enough to need a product like this, you are fortunate that the Duro-Med can help. 5
