I’m excited to announce my discovery of a new website, activehands.com. I ordered a few things, let’s see how it goes.

Sick and tired of dealing with skirt hangers that you have to squeeze open with one hand and try to catch the edge of the skirt in its mouth? These hangers can be opened flat. You can the position the skirt (or pants) neatly in place, the fold and clip into place. I haven’t been … Continue reading Skirt Hangers →

I had two criteria for shirt hangers: they had to be thin enough and smooth enough that I should be able to tug at a top and it should slide off the hanger with minimal stretch.. These hangers meet both conditions. They are thin plastic hangers with none of that (in my opinion, ridiculous and) … Continue reading Shirt Hangers →

Back in the days before my stroke, every year I would not the “Most Useless Product of the Year.” On year it was snowball making tongs; the inventors obviously forgot about hands! Another year it was a washable mat for under the high chair; you know, babies are always careful to splatter their food only … Continue reading Shirt-Folding Board →

Another simple one: When it’s hard to find a match, use a lighter instead. I actually prefer the torch lighters for lighting Shabbos candles; they keep the fire going for long enough for me to light all 12 candles

These are genius! Have someone link them onto your necklaces, and you’ll be able to snap them closed on your own.

These come in all types, with a lot of options for different sizes and shapes of slices. I’m not sure that this the one that I have, which is the reason I’m not sending a link. Also, it’s not news to most people, but I did want to mention it

I searched for a long time until I found this. I was looking for a cart that had these features open at the top. I wanted to be able to just drop things in and pull things out without having to be down to open zippers or pockets smallest handle width, controllable with one hand. … Continue reading Shopping Cart →

I started out with a standing peeler that peels 1 potato, apple or cucumber at a time. Then I got to thinking, there must be something better! So I found this. It peels multiple potatoes at once. It does russet potatoes best.

Keep pages open! I had such a hard time with this. There is always a book before me at the kitchen table, and I was having trouble holding the page when my good hand held the fork. This book-weight is a life saver! I have 4, one in each room in the house! Here is … Continue reading Book Weight →

No more lifting a heavy pot to drain your pasta. This 8-qt pot from Walmart has a deep steamer insert, which works very well as a pasta basket. Cook your spaghetti as normal, then lift the insert (it can be heavy), and the water will drain out.

This is really the most basic of all adaptive materials. So basic that I didn’t even think to mention it – after all, everyone knows about Dycem. This in case you don’t! Or in case you never realized that you can get your own on a roll from Amazon!

Doing your thumb is more challenging, because it’s hard to use the weight of your fist while your thumb is between the jaws of the clipper! It takes … Continue reading Another nail cutter →

Ok, this is not really one-handed, and it’s not a perfect solution, but I found it very helpful. The fingers of my weak hand are curled and my wrist cannot stay in a predictable positions, so it’s helpful if the nail clipper can rotate.
