Essential Aids

I was delighted with the quality of these aluminium axilla crutches. They were delivered extremely quickly and well packaged. They are so easy to adjust! I can even adjust them myself which is wonderful! I have my elbow ones from the NHS but so much pressure on my wrists and shoulders I needed a break from those. My idea now is to use these Under Arm (Axilla) Type crutches and rotate usage with my elbow crutches. I like the under arm type as I can rest on them and still use my hands to get something out of my bag - I cannot do that easily with elbow ones. I find the underarm type easier when I cannot but any weight on my right leg.

The bed pad was just what I wanted, though bigger than I needed. I would give it a rating of 5.

My order was dealt with extremely quickly and the caring cutlery is very helpful for anyone with joint hypermobility. I would definitely use Essential Aids again, recommend them and rate them 5.

The ultra narrow walking frame bought from you has proved to be more than adequate for our needs. Everything arrived on time and well packaged.

The easy pull sock aid was for my mother, however, I have seen how she is now able to put on her socks very easily using your sock aid and that it was well padded. This is essential as my mother's skin is paper thin. Your sock aid gets 5 out of 5.

Thank you for the prompt service with the luxury stocking aid - as always. I will continue to order from your company when I need anything again. Brilliant!!!!

Very happy with the inflatable hairwash tray. Great product and as I'm bedbound it's now very easy for my carers to wash my hair. Has made a huge positive difference for me.

I was very pleased with the Universal Walker Pouch. It was a bit different to other products I have seen.

The wheelchair fleece I bought from you is very good. Its softness makes my chair more comfortable and it keeps my back warm whereas previously I always felt a draught in my lower back which is also where my back pain comes from.

The elbow crutches were as expected. Five out of five.

The Weekly Multi-dose Pill Box came was very quick in arriving, very good service. Pill box is easier to use rather than the ones which come apart where there is a chance of actually losing one section.. Will most certainly use Essential Aids again when ever I need any more aids.

The multi-opener has been a godsend for me, my friend and my father-in-law. I first came across this in a charity shop, and found it great. Not seen anywhere else except with you. Definitely a 5-star product.

This was delivered promptly and just what I wanted. Jean McNab.

Had to cancel this order as the person it was intended for was admitted to hospital very ill. Essential Aids could not have been more helpful and immediately accepted the cancellation and immediately refunded my purchase price to my bank. Thank you for being so good. Highly recommended.

I ordered the sock aid to use after a hip replacement and have found it very helpful. It arrived promptly and was reasonably priced. 5 out of 5! P Rushton.

My soft grip comfort handle crutches have been a life saver - 10 out of 10! I broke my wrist a few years ago and when I tried out some ordinary crutches before my ankle operation, I found it very uncomfortable. Being non-weight bearing for 6 weeks after the operation put a lot of pressure on the weakened wrist. However having discovered the wonderful soft grip comfort handle crutches just made the whole uncomfortable, scary and inconvenient experience more bearable. Loved the red colour too.

I would rate this product 5 out of 5. I was thrilled to find it on the internet as I had one like it years ago, but without the rubber edges. This one is better as it does not damage the lid of the jar whilst maintaining a fast grip. I have arthritis in my hands so not strong enough to open some jars. This wonderful gadget hides on the base of an overhanging kitchen cabinet, where it is screwed on tight and if I need to open a stubborn jar I simply slide it in (any size from small to quite wide) and, hey presto, the lid is off with very little effort on my part. Recommended for all kitchens as it takes up no room in a drawer and is one of the handiest items you will ever purchase. If you remember to take it with you when you move house (I forgot my other one...) you need never buy another. Dr Ruth Armstrong.

The good grips rocker knife was just as described and very high quality. Delivery was very quick. Rating out of 5 is 5+. Deborah McEvoy.

The shower stool has been a god-send. Hubby snapped his Achilles tendon and the stool was brilliant in the shower, and wherever we went for the next eight weeks, it came with us..great value as well. I'd score it 20 out of 5 !! Rosanna Cook.

The item I purchased was perfect for my needs and I would rate it 5 out of 5. Stephen Bell.
