Product Information

It can be used as a training cup for children or as a general use cup for people that struggle to move their neck when drinking.

FEATURES – 200 ml capacity, hygienic, steriliser-safe, dishwasher-proof (top shelf) and freezer-proof, available in 17 colours including a solid, pearlised and sparkle finish. As well as teaching valuable skills there are a number of critical health benefits associated with open cups compared to other drinking vessels. These may help to reduce tremor as they, by their heavier weight, require more effort to lift, thus stabilising the transfer of the cup or mug. They've also made the commitment to reduce use of domestic air freight and using rail instead to get parcels round the country.There are systems available that give back a degree of independence to the disabled person, although if they are at risk of choking, someone should always be nearby. Consider what is the best fastening system for you, whether the bib/apron pulls over the head, is tied, has a Velcro hook and loop system, a popper, or some other way of fixing. NATURAL PROGRESSION – Drinking from the Doidy Cup is a natural progression from breast feeding because it uses the same suckling action. For nearly 70 years since its development in 1950 Doidy Cup’s unique design helps children see the level of the liquid contents and teaches them early hand to eye co-ordination. You may be provided with equipment and services as a preventative measure, before a needs assessment is done.

All systems are free standing on a table top and do not need to be lifted or tilted in any way by the user. If you know and understand the difficulties that you have and the reasons for them, you will be more able to select the right equipment to meet your needs. Not all of our products are eligible for VAT relief, so we are obliged to charge VAT for those products even after you complete this form. If you have problems with swallowing, but have never seen a speech and language therapist, you are strongly advised to do so.The Red Doidy Cup has a sloping design with two handles allowing for a more natural movement of the hands and head when drinking. The DOIDY Cups are UNICEF baby friendly and they are sold by the National Childbirth Trust in the U. Some cups are designed for comfort in mind, others have bendable handles and are modular so that they can be tailored to suit individual requirements. If you are struggling with caring for yourself, which includes getting enough to eat and drink, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment.

Health Professionals and leading health organisations such as The British Dietetic Association are active in recommending the introduction of an open cup at around 6 months of age and completely stopping the use of a bottle by 12 months. If you find it difficult to maintain your head in an upright position, try using a head rest, a rolled-up towel or a small cushion as a support. The smaller ones will catch saliva or liquids lost from the mouth, but will be less useful for protecting clothes from food spillage. Infants find this movement perfectly natural, therefore it is so easy to wean them from the breast or bottle. Some are also mounted on a swivel that glides in the horizontal plane, and powered versions will raise and lower the whole device.This design encourages drinking from a normal cup rather than a spout and its shape enables carers to easily see the level of fluid in relation to the user's mouth.
