The typical department store doesn’t stock racks of clothing designed to make life easier for disabled, post surgical or physically challenged women. When life requires a mastectomy, wheelchair, or temporary post surgical drain most women use their own imagination to alter clothing that will help make their lives a little more convenient. Stroke, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and incontinence can make day-to-day tasks much more difficult and limit a person’s quality of life.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Anyone with access to a computer can shop online for specialty clothing that stores don’t have. Adaptive apparel offers business and casual clothing that can accommodate a colostomy bag, feeding tube, or catheter. There are wheel-chair specific coats, and especially designed no-hassle clothing that replaces buttons and zippers with Velcro. A directory for everything from incontinence briefs to heated pants, jackets, gloves and socks makes it easy for adults and children to find items similar to what they see in stores. The site also offers clothing for little people.
No one wants to sacrifice style for convenience and you don’t have to. This website is a good place to start shopping for functional, fashionable clothing:
