Mealtimes get messy when someone has tremor, reduced coordination or a swallowing difficulty, and clothing protection is often the difference between eating in the dining room and eating alone. This everyday bib covers the chest and lap and catches what does not make it to the mouth.
The polycotton face is soft against the neck and the backing stops liquid soaking through to clothing underneath. Press studs at the lower edge form a pocket that holds spilt food, so it does not end up in the lap or on the floor. It is colourfast, so it keeps looking presentable after repeated laundering in a busy home or residential setting.
For carers it cuts the number of clothing changes in a day, and for the person wearing it the look is closer to ordinary clothing than to clinical kit, which matters where dignity at the table is part of the goal.
