Cups & Mugs

Adaptive Cups & Mugs Australia – Easy-Grip Mugs for People with Disability & Limited Hand Function

Safety and Mobility supplies a range of adaptive cups and mugs designed to make drinking safer, easier, and more independent for people with limited grip strength, tremor, restricted wrist movement, or coordination difficulties. Drinking independently is an important part of daily living and fluid intake, and the right adaptive cup can significantly reduce the need for carer assistance and the risk of spills and burns.

Our adaptive cup and mug range includes two-handled cups that allow bilateral grip and reduce the lifting load on each hand; weighted mugs that dampen the effect of tremor; large-handled mugs for easier grip with limited finger dexterity; insulated mugs to keep drinks at temperature for slower drinkers; and non-spill and lid-fitted options that reduce spill risk during transport and drinking. Available in a range of capacities and materials suitable for home and institutional use.

As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply adaptive cups and mugs to eligible NDIS participants. We deliver across Australia to homes, aged care facilities, and disability support settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What type of cup is best for someone with Parkinson's disease?
For people with Parkinson's disease, cups with two handles, weighted bases, and insulated walls are often recommended, the two handles allow a more stable bilateral grip, the weight helps dampen tremor, and the insulation keeps drinks warm for slower drinkers. A lid or flow-control insert can also reduce spill risk. An occupational therapist can trial different options with your client to identify the best match.
