Frequently Asked Questions

What are adaptive clothing components?

Adaptive clothing components are specialised fasteners and accessories, such as magnetic tape, zippers and easy-close buttons, designed to make dressing simpler. They replace fiddly closures and allow clothing to be customised for accessibility, comfort and independence.

Who can benefit from adaptive fasteners?

Adaptive fasteners can be useful for anyone with limited dexterity, mobility challenges, sensory needs or simply a busy lifestyle. They’re especially supportive for people with arthritis, amputees, wheelchair users and carers assisting with dressing.

How do magnetic fasteners work in clothing?

Magnetic fasteners use carefully positioned magnets sewn into durable tape or buttons. When two sides come together, they securely “snap” closed and hold the garment in place, yet they are easy to pull apart when needed. They’re washable, long-lasting and safe for everyday wear.

Can I use these components in clothes I already own?

Yes. Many of our adaptive components are designed for retrofitting into existing garments. Whether you’re adapting a favourite shirt with magnetic closures or adding easy-open zips to jackets, you can customise clothing to suit your needs.

Are adaptive fasteners safe for everyone?

Our magnetic and adaptive fasteners are tested for safety and durability. However, people with pacemakers or medical implants should consult a healthcare professional before using magnetic products close to the chest area.
