Thank you! Been in a wheelchair for a year now and this is the first good clothing advice I've had. It all makes such good sense. Thank you 😊

Omgoodness!!!!! Before I became paralyzed I had a beautiful long peacoat. SO NOT PRACTICAL!!!!!!! But I'm adjusting 😊 I never realized the shoes I can and cannot wear. Kinda sucks. Especially when its cute boots for the winter or cute sandals lol the only thing I cant stand to wear is gloves. I again love your videos!!!!! So ABSOLUTLY amazing! Thanks guys always!!!!

Yeah it does suck a bit, we had to get rid of most nice things and pretty much get a whole new wardrobe. Quite annoying when you see something nice and then realise it's not really suitable right?!

not enough people talk about this or realise what we as wheelchair users have to think about jackets are a nightmare im currently trying to find one suitable and have been in countless places

I know, it's such a small thing when you are able-bodied but really annoying in a wheelchair! I still haven't found a good jacket for when it's really cold yet either. Let me know if you find something good!

Thank you James, I have been looking all over for a store that sells shirts that are longer in the back. It's Duluth Trading Company...and the shirt is called 'long tail'. 'The idea of a long tail is more commonly associated with shirts than t-shirt but the principle is the same. ... The idea of a long tail t-shirt is essentially the same - they are designed for taller guys and have a longer length.Jun 18, 2015'www.duluthtrading.com/search/?q=shirts+longer++in+the+back&lang=default

I've wore Jeans every day for 30+ years, and conventional socks. No problems with my skin ever. Keep treating your skin like its gonna fall apart and it will just get soft. I've never worried about lines etc from socks and clothes as they disappear overnight.

Every body is different so you have to do what works for you. I found that the tighter socks gave me mild autonomic dysreflexia, wasn't awful but I prefer not having it for something as simple as changing my socks. I guess it depends on your injury level and extent of swelling you have. I do wear jeans sometimes and haven't had problems but I just prefer joggers really. I wouldn't sit on buttons or zips though as I'm quite a heavy guy and my butt already gets quite a lot of abuse from throwing myself around doing transfers.

Diabetic socks work well too and jackets and vests that the zipper goes both ways. Leave it unzipped a little at the bottom and the fit is better. Good luck

We've heard that diabetic socks work well too, I think they are basically the same thing as these ones. Thanks for the tip about the zipper, we hadn't thought of that 😊

Clothes nightmare in wheelchair and specialist clothes so expensive! I'm not paralysed but still have a lot of issues as everything rides up or digs in or looks weird. 🙄
@adaptivetravel
@adaptivetravel 4 года назад
Yep exactly! I wish the specialist stuff wasn't so expensive because some of it does look really good. It's so hard to find stuff we're considering learning how to make our own clothes 😂

Have you ever gone on "Kingsize" website? My husband was 6'4". They had jeans, shorts, joggers, etc. that are long enough. They are based in the U.S. but you can check to see if they will ship to you. I hope so. God bless you♡♡♡

Find sox for Diabetics as Diabetics have the same ankle/foot swelling issues and they don't have any elastic either.
