Reviews
My wife has Alzheimer’s and puts her hands in her brief and makes messes because she doesn’t know any better. ZipperOn stops her from doing this and she is comfortable and relaxed.
ZipperOn is a durable, lightweight one-piece garment that makes brief changes much faster and easier. The zippers are subtle and non-intrusive to the wearer making the garment very comfortable.
When a person wears ZipperOn, along with the right brief, frequent night changes are not necessary thus promoting healthy sleep hygiene. This product effectively prevents a person from accessing their briefs thus protecting a person’s overall hygiene. ZipperOn helps to decrease wet bedding throughout the night eliminating time, effort and costs involved with frequent laundering of bed sheets and sleepwear.
I would highly recommend this product as a comfortable, non-intrusive and a dignified hygienic alternative to frequent accidents.
One of our individuals was experiencing difficulties at night tugging at her feeding tube.This led to irritation and not many options to protect the site or conceal the tube to prevent further issues. This had gone on for months until we were introduced to this product.
The ZipperOn outfit has given us the opportunity to provide this individual with a safe and comfortable option to ensure her safety during bedtime hours. Easy access to the lower portion of the body makes changing throughout the night a breeze. The ZipperOn has proved to be exactly what we needed. We are very thankful that we were introduced to this wonderful product and would encourage others within the DD (developmental disability) sector to give it a try.
ZipperOn is very easy to use and is very helpful for staff as you can unzip it from the front or the back. The 4-way zipper makes changing residents very easy.
We were hoping to spend our retirement on vacations and cruises but my husband got dementia and he also broke his hip making his behaviours worse. We can’t go on vacations, but I am so glad I can buy ZipperOns which help me and the staff with his care.
The gentlemen enjoy wearing the ZipperOn … the feedback from staff has been excellent. Great product!
What a wonderful product!
Staff, especially night shift, are so pleased with ZipperOn. They keep thanking me for this wonderful product that has improved everyone’s life so much.
From any angle you can unzip and change a resident. There’s enough space and enough freedom to change and re-apply the brief without disturbing the resident. As a result, residents are sleeping better and are more alert and awake during the day.
Staff are very happy with this product. It’s all they could talk about for weeks!
