Anti-Slip Bath Stickers : Stick and Stay!
In our short time, our anti-slip aqua safe bath stickers have been our most popular product, and it has come without surprise! Their effectiveness through their simplicity is what makes them so popular.
A quick clean of the shower or bath tub (not forgetting to mention it must be an alcohol based cleaner), then once it’s dry, stick the stickers down and you can almost literally hop in to the shower or tub, note to kids of all ages though; please do not try this at home.
After writing about the things for the past two years, a few months ago I found a reason to personally use them. My shower at home is absolutely fine, but my girlfriends on the other hand, was a recipe for disaster…. You simply stood in the shower, and your feet would instantly travel towards the outer edges of the tray. Now before I slipped and gained a nice injury, I decided to use what I had at my disposal to eradicate this problem. They took me about five minutes to get applied, including the cleaning, and once done, I hopped in the shower, and my feet stayed where I put them.
They have been down for months now, and not a one has lifted, and my girlfriend tells me how she doesn’t have to prepare herself for any slips in the shower anymore. Now if that isn’t a good boyfriend, then I don’t know what is.
Tenura Silicone Mats As Visual Aids in the Home
Tenura silicone mats make great anti slip surfaces, however, the bright colors they are available in, allow people with sight impairments to use them around the home to place items on, making excellent organised areas so you will not forget where you left them.
Tenura's range of daily living aids are available in bright shades of blue, red and yellow, so they will stand out in most homes decor, and due to the varying sizes of the mats, depending on what you need to locate easily, makes it possible to place many different daily items in an easy to find location.
If you find any other uses for Tenura products, please let us know, as we would love to hear from you.
Trouble with Arthritis
It has become apparent that recently, every 1 in 5 persons in the US shows symptoms of arthritis in at least one joint of their body – most frequently being the hands or wrists.
Arthritis is caused when the cartilage in the joints become worn out due to trauma or damage, and where the joint would normally glide over the cartilage surface, a lack of mobility and an increase in discomfort and pain replaces this process, which normally is taken for granted.
Loss of grip is generally the most common symptom from arthritis in the hands, making daily activities that we never usually give a second thought, painful, and a major hurdle to overcome.
Tenura daily living aids were created with this in mind to ensure that a decrease, if not a complete elimination, of discomfort was achieved during menial daily tasks, or even tasks that may have been enjoyed before, but have become more difficult due to arthritis.
Tenura daily living aids soft, silicone construction allow for maximum grip and comfort to ease the strain on joints, allowing daily tasks to be performed as so.
