The weather is starting to warm up with the sun peeking through those clouds and the lockdown rules are starting to lift, meaning you might be thinking about getting out and enjoying the fresh air. We’ve put together a list of our top products to help make life a little easier while you enjoy your time away from home.
Dehydration is a big issue for many people, and it can be hard to find a nearby café when you’re out for a walk and get thirsty. This bottle can be carried around with you. Thanks to the drinking tube, if it’s in a backpack, you won’t even need to stop to get your drink out.
Walking around can be hard on your feet, especially when you’ve spent extended periods indoors. Treat your feet to these cushioned insoles. They’re designed to give the sensitive areas of your feet extra support and absorb shock across your whole foot. You don’t need to worry about your feet overheating with these either, they have vents to help with air circulation.
If you need a bit of extra support while walking but would also like somewhere to sit when you need to take a rest, this great walking stick could be what you’re looking for. It’s a lightweight walking stick that turns into a tripod seat at the touch of a button. It gives you support when you’re walking and a place to rest when you need a moment.
Worries about incontinence can sometimes make you feel nervous about leaving the house, but it doesn’t have to stop you doing the things you love. These incontinence pads help to protect against heavy bladder leakage, keeping you dry while you’re out for a walk in the sunshine. If you’re worried about incontinence, please speak to your GP who can offer further help and advice.
If you’re worried about going out on your own, a personal alarm may help you feel a little more secure. This one sounds a loud siren at 130 decibels designed to momentarily shock the other person and give you the opportunity to escape. To activate it all you have to do is pull the cord. It also includes an ultra bright white LED torch.
The only thing predictable about the UK weather is how unpredictable it is. Glorious sunshine can turn to torrential rain in an instant. Standard waterproof coats aren’t always a good option if you use a wheelchair as your legs are left uncovered. This mac solves that problem by covering you and your chair, keeping your dry in the event of a downpour.
If you’re living with a condition that means you need easy toilet access, leaving your home might feel a little stressful. This key allows the holder to access locked public toilets across the UK, meaning that you can get access to a toilet when you need it. This key has a wide, flat head to make it easier to grasp and turn and is an essential for trips out and about.
