PITTSBURGH, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm an occupational therapist, and I wanted to create a daily living aid that would allow the user to pull their pants upward after using the toilet without asking for assistance and without falling," said an inventor, from Escondido, Calif., "so I invented THE PANTS PAL. My design would offer an improved alternative to standard dressing aids such as long-handled reachers and dressing sticks."

The invention provides a dressing aid to assist individuals with pulling up their pants when dressing and using the restroom. Doing so prevents the pants from falling to the ground and causing added strain or tripping hazards. It also considers those with decreased dexterity and hand function, making pulling up pants virtually hands-free. As a result, it eliminates the need for assistance and increases independence and safety. In addition, the invention features a compact design that is easy to use, so it is ideal for individuals who have had orthopedic surgeries, back surgeries, anyone who experiences back pain or problems, the elderly, and other individuals with limited mobility.

The original design was submitted to the San Diego sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
