I bought this dignity mug for my elderly mum who was having difficulty holding a mug or cup, it used to bruise her fingers so when I saw this mug I thought I would but it for her to try. She is able to hold it safely due to the little extra piece at the bottom of the handle to put her finger around. The mug wasn't as big as I thought it would be but is the right size for my mum, she enjoys her cups now. I would recommend and give 5 out of 5.
