 Terry Cloth is User-friendly to Nylons Sep 12, 2009
By Marie M. Rogers
After hip replacement, a sock aid is a necessity. The Terry Cloth Sock Aid is wonderful, and easy to use, and friendly to nylons. I'd like to offer a little tip: when your toes reach the stocking toe, press your toes to the floor and hold them there so when the rest of the stocking is pulled on, your toes will not be too tightly encased.
I have 3 types of stocking aids, but this is my favorite!

The perfect helper Nov 26, 2008
By Richard Mcginty
"IMZDO"
This "sock puller-oner" works perfectly. I have two artificial hips and back problems, plus I have very wide feet. This one works perfectly to get both dress socks and athletic socks on quickly. I ordered two and very glad that I did.

 Falls Apart ... after only a couple of weeks ... Mar 13, 2011
By Grandma Aubbie
My husband recently developed severe osteoarthritis knee pain, making it impossible to bend his knee enough to put on his sock. Suddenly, he was no longer independent, but had to rely upon me for many things, but especially to help him get dressed in the morning.
While I love my husband, it isn't good for any of us to have to count on someone else, and this was a very frustrating period for us.
Then, amazingly, a friend who had hip surgery introduced us to the "Sock Aid." Hers was similar to this, and she happily demonstrated. We have Prime, so the next day, our Sock Aid arrived.
We chose it because it had the flexible opening on the end, which makes it easier to put the sock on - hers was a firm end. The inside makes it easy for the foot to slide, and the terrycloth exterior easily pulled up the sock. It has a firm plastic interior, which holds it open for slipping your foot into it. Even more, it says it is washable. It works so great, I might buy one for myself ;-)
Anyway, Hubby is happy and independent again, and I am happy that he can be free from my "mothering."
Edited -
Within 2 weeks, this wonderful aid began to unravel and come apart. I am now purchasing another brand to replace it ... I have changed my stars from 5 to 1, since it should NOT come apart. (Note, it was never washed, it simply came apart from pulling socks onto the foot.
Edit ... We tried the Carex Sock Aid, however the size ran small, and it didn't fit my husband's foot.
Edit ... After several different tries, we finally settled on Essential Medical Supply Everyday Essentials Deluxe Hard Plastic Sock Aid. It wasn't perfect, with the handle, it kept ending up on the wrong side of the foot - so my husband cut the handle ... and now it works perfectly. :-) Finally, problem permanently solved (I hope).

Life saver! Jun 27, 2007
By RAM
I have a bad back and hip, making it VERY difficult, if not impossible, to put my socks on! It might take a little 'practice', but it does the job oh so nicely!!

 Not for people with hand weakness or dexterity problems May 09, 2009
By W. Dufala
I purchased this product because I have ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and I have difficulty putting on socks among other things. I was hoping that it would help make it easier. Unfortunately, I can't even begin to load the sock onto the device so it's basically worthless to me. If you have any difficulty with your hands, this item is not for you. If hand strength isn't the issue, it will probably be a worthwhile purchase.
